A day after opening statements in the murder trial of Alex Ewing, Judge Tamara Russell granted a mistrial in the case after Ewings’ attorney requested an evaluation of his mental competency. The reason for the competency assessment request is contained in a sealed motion and has Ewing not been disclosed. Ewing, 61, is accused in the 1984 Lakewood murder of Patricia Smith, 50. Smith’s murder occurred just six days before the January 1984 killings of Bruce, Debra and Melissa Bennett in Aurora. The Bennett case was the subject of national media coverage due to its savage nature — the Bennett’s, including 7-year-old Melissa, were thought to be killed with a hammer. Both Smith and Debra Bennett had been sexually assaulted by their SEE MISTRIAL, P6

Indoor air quality pilot program results for Jeffco Schools Study continues but data suggests healthier school environments are at hand BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In a recent Jeffco School Board study session, board members heard a presentation on the results of an indoor air quality pilot program. Toward the end of the presentation, Kimber Preece, a District Sustainability Engineer, said the Facilities Department recommended Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) system implementations across the district as well as increased outdoor ventilation and filter efficiency. Preece handled most of the presentation for the district. But before she got underway, Susan Harmon, Board of Education President, gave a bit of background information on the pilot program. “Since the second quarter of 2020, the Facilities and Maintenance Department has made a significant effort to improve the indoor air quality of our facilities,” she said. “These improvements align with industry and health care recommendations. We have also looked at options that would result in air quality improvements beyond the pandemic.” Pilot Program A pilot program was implemented in which UVGI were installed in all six air handling units at Governors Ranch Elementary over the ’20-’21 holiday break. The district then started taking air quality measurements at Governors Ranch as well as Ute Meadows and Stony Creek Elementary Schools. According to Preece, those sites were chosen because they have the same floor plans and the same type of HVAC equipment. They then used special equipment called AGAR plates to collect bacterial samples. Those plates were then sent to a lab for analysis to see if the bacteria create colony forming units (CFUs). Each day of testing, the district took 3 measurements at each site — three interior samples and one
exterior sample. The study concluded that the district’s design and installation procedures had been done correctly, because when compared, the levels of CFUs were higher in interior samples taken from Stony Creek and Ute Meadows than samples taken at Governors Ranch. The district also wanted to know if the systems would be a good value and be usable in a postCOVID future, for lowering levels of influenza and rhinovirus. So, it compared the cost and effectiveness of the UVGI technology to decentralized HEPA units in classrooms. The science Preece said humans emit around 85 watts (of heat) while sitting. She then showed a video example of smoke displacement to give board members an understanding of the way air moves through a room. In the video, smoke enters a room through a typical duct vent near the floor. As the smoke (or air) moves through the room it gravitates toward the heat generated by human bodies. The smoke (air) then moves up the person’s body toward the ceiling in a thermal plume. Preece said when viruses are present, there are viral plumes within the thermal plumes. As the plume rises to the level where one breathes, the video communicates in a clear way, how the placement, design and implementation of air filtration systems are important. Preece said both ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigera-
tion and Air-Cooling Engineers) and the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) have given guidance on how to place in-room disinfection units and fans in order to prevent the creation of drafts across occupants, which can create unhealthy breathing conditions. In other words, both ASHRAE and the EPA stress the importance of creating systems where air does not flow from one person onto another, to reduce the spread of droplets that may contain infectious viruses. “As you can imagine, in a very full classroom it’s hard to put something in a room and not create a draft across the many occupants that are in that room,” she said. “I hope you also noticed in the video, social distancing and mask wearing are important because those thermal plumes can help get those pathogens away if we trap our projections with our masks.” Preece said HVAC systems the District already has in place in schools, work with 5-12 changes (air exchanges) per hour, which is magnitudes higher than any other system they could place inside classrooms. Another benefit of the current HVAC systems is that they don’t create drafts. What’s next The District is currently installing the system at Everitt Middle School to see results from a larger school. They have started collecting untreated air quality data as a baseline for the Everett study. When it comes to costs, Preece
said district-wide implementation of UVGI has a higher initial price tag, but the HEPA filter operational cost is so great that within a year, UVGI becomes the financially responsible choice. Maintenance costs of UVGI are also lower. UVGI also filters the air quicker and they’re quieter and longer-lasting than HEPA units, she said. Preece said better indoor air quality increases performance and attendance, reduces the load on support staff during a pandemic and also extends the possibility of in-person learning. The cost of installing a UVGI system in an elementary school is $33,000. Bell said he believes federal ESSER funds (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief) can be used to pay for UVGI system implementation (but there was no final determination of that during the study session). Bell said the estimated cost of a district-wide implementation was $8.5 million. Board President, Susan Harmon said the research feels like the right work in terms of creating healthy environments for students to thrive — as well as being the right thing for staff, teachers and food service workers. “I don’t think we’re a guinea pig. I think we’re a leader,” she said. “And this is the right work to be leading our district instead of waiting.” Harmon said she is looking forward to hearing more about the Everitt study as it progresses, during upcoming board meetings.

Arvada In-N-Out Burger plan gets major modification Virtual neighborhood meeting scheduled for Nov. 10 STAFF REPORT
In-N-Out Burger has taken the first steps towards opening a location at the Arvada Marketplace shopping center. The popular westcoast burger chain, which expanded into Colo. In Dec. 2020, has filed an application for major modification with the City of Arvada and scheduled a neighborhood meeting for Nov. 10, at 5:30 p.m., on Zoom. The request for major modification concerns of a portion of the Arvada Marketplace parking lot,
located at the intersection of 52nd Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard. The request asks for the demolition of 1.25 acres of the parking area in the northwest corner of the shopping center. In-N-Out’s proposal calls for the development 3,879 square foot restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a drive though. The restaurant would occupy a single-story building, which is included in the major modification request as a two-story building is required due to limitations on building heights within the Arvada Marketplace covenants. The neighborhood meeting is the first step in the development process, as the proposal would need to be approved by both planning commission and city council to come to

What Are the Steps You Can Take Toward Making Your Home Net Zero Energy?
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like the idea of saving money, which will happen when you convert your home to “net zero energy.” So, what are the steps you can take to get there? As you probably know by now, “net zero energy” means that your home generates more energy than it consumes. This is made possible through “net metering,” which means that your electric meter runs backward when your solar panels generate more electricity than you’re using (i.e., on a sunny day), then runs forward at night, resulting in zero (or less) net consumption of electric power. Solar power gets more affordable every year. When I purchased my first 10-kW solar photovoltaic system 15 years ago, the cost was over $60,000, but Xcel Energy was giving a rebate of $4.50 per watt back then, so I got a check for $45,000 from the utility, reducing my net cost to about $15,000. Nowadays that same system would cost about $15,000 with no Xcel rebate but a 30% federal tax credit. While you can generate your own electricity, you cannot generate your own natural gas, so terminating natural gas service and converting to an all-electric home is key to achieving net zero energy. This involves some major system changes if you are currently heating your home and your water using natural gas, cooking with gas (including with a gas grill) and have a gas fireplace. There are electric alternatives to all of these uses of natural gas, and you may appreciate the fact that eliminating natural gas also eliminates the possibility of a gas explosion and of carbon monoxide poisoning (unless you have a gas powered car). Heating your home with electricity used to mean installing baseboard electric heating units in each room, but that is so 20th century. Nowadays electric space heating is done far more efficiently (and evenly) using heat pumps. Gas forced air furnaces and gas water heaters are considered to have a life expectancy of 15 years, and when yours fail, think of that as an opportunity to adopt heat pump technology for both functions. And a heat pump eliminates the need for a separate A/C unit, since it heats and cools. Gas furnaces and water heaters generate heat by burning gas. A heat pump does not generate heat — it moves heat, similar to what A/C does. It cools your home by moving the heat out of your house. If you put your hand over the external compressor unit while it’s cooling your home, you will feel heat that was moved from inside your
home. In heating mode, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from outdoors into your house. It may surprise you to know that when it’s freezing outside there is actually heat that can be moved from outside to the interior of your house, but it’s true. Our office has been heated solely by heat pump since November 2017, and in each winter since there has never been a day when the system failed to keep our office at 70 degrees+. At right is a picture of a simple one-unit 12,000-BTU, 29.3-SEER ductless mini-split system from Fujitsu which you can buy online for $1,961. (The small vertical unit is the thermostat.) That’s a small unit, suitable for one room or a garage — a great application. For our office, we bought a Mitsubishi system in which a single compressor drives three separate wall units, each with its own thermostat. A heat pump water heater (which Rita and I installed at our home) has the compressor built into the unit, above the tank. You can feel cool air emitting from it when it is heating water. I suggest putting it in a wine cellar where it’ll keep the room cool without a having a separate A/C unit. For cooking, you’ll be amazed and delighted by the induction cooktops that are widely available. You have to use metal pots and pans. I saw them used on a cruise ship, and the chefs loved them. (Modern cruise ships have eliminated natural gas because of the fire hazard.) Your all-electric home will, of course, use more electricity, but Xcel Energy now allows you to install enough solar panels to generate double your electrical usage in the previous 12 months. (They used to allow only 120%.) That’s more than enough to cover your new electric space heating, water heating and cooking needs, with capacity left over to charge an EV, too. An important first step in pursuing net zero energy for your home is to reduce your need for energy, and the easiest and cheapest way to do that is to improve your home’s insulation. I once owned a 1940s bungalow in north Golden. I had cellulose insulation blown into the exterior walls (not just the attic) by Dennis Brachfield of About Saving Heat, and I was astonished at how much more comfortable the house became. Even if your exterior walls have batt insulation in them (as my bungalow did), there is still space in the walls to blow in cellulose. I learned something interesting from that experience. You know how walls can radiate heat, such as a brick wall in the
sunlight. Well, walls can also radiate coldness, or suck heat. The air temperature in my bungalow before and after blowing in insulation was 70 degrees, but I felt warmer when the walls were no longer cold. You can go beyond improving the insulation of your exterior walls and attic. There are numerous places that allow cold into your home, especially around your windows. Whether or not you install triplepane Alpen windows, as I did at our office, caulking around the window frames and elsewhere can reduce the energy needed to heat your home. A blower door test done by Dennis or another contractor will identify those air leaks in your home. Insulating your attic with blown-in cellulose and your crawlspace with plastic sheeting will also reduce your home’s energy needs whether from gas heating or your new heat pump. Of course, many homes, especially in older neighborhoods, can’t benefit from solar power because of shading from trees or insufficient south-facing roof area, but you can purchase community solar. (This is also a good solution for condos which have no roof at all.) The idea with community solar is that you invest in solar panels that are part of a solar farm in some distant pasture. The electricity generated by your panels in that remote location is credited to the electrical meter in your home or condo. One ad-
vantage of community solar is that when you move, you only need to change which meter gets credited with your solar production. Google “community solar” to learn about the many enterprises (some of them non-profit) offering this service, and use Google for those other topics mentioned above. Other ways of reducing your energy needs include “daylighting” your home (or office). We have “sun tunnels” in our home and office to bring daylight into interior spaces. In fact, on a sunny day we don’t need to turn on any lights in our office. It’s great— and saves energy. You’ve probably heard of the brand Solatube. We had Design Skylights of Evergreen install Velux sun tunnels at both home and work. Find this article at GoldenREblog.com, where it has many useful hyperlinks.

Wheat Ridge hotel licensing ordinance approved by council Hotels that don’t comply could face license revocation BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Wheat Ridge hotels and motels will face new licensing requirements after City Council unanimously passed Council Bill 18-2021 enacting new standards for establishments offering short and extended stay lodging. Police Chief, Chris Murtha started the discussion with an in-depth look at the number of calls for service (CFS) his department makes in a given year. Murtha said since he was hired, Wheat Ridge PD has taken a focused look at hotel safety and security, acting on Council’s concerns. “This has been an ongoing issue for many years. It predates my employment here in the city,” Murtha said. “This is not new to members who have been on the police department for a while.” Murtha said calls for service to hotels are disproportionate to calls to other businesses. He said, right now, calls to hotels amount to about 10% of total police service calls. An average of 53 minutes is spent per citizen-initiated call. Murtha said the volume of calls and the amount of time and manpower they take has created an unsustainable situation
for his department. “Hotels with high calls for service evolve into nodes of illegal activity including drug dealing, prostitution and other illicit behaviors,” Murtha said. “Adopting stronger local requirements to limit illegal activities in hotels is an essential tool to combat economic blight in the city.” Murtha said those quotes aren’t just an opinion, but are based on a Department of Justice study on budget hotels and criminal activity that surrounds them, done years ago. Breaking down the numbers, Murtha said three of the nine hotels and motels in the city account for more than 6% of the overall 10% of hotel service calls. The three worst offenders, year after year, Murtha said, have been Motel 6, American Motel and Best Interstate. Affordable Inn and Super 8 rounded out the top 5 hotels and motels requiring the most service calls. For the first half of 2021, American Motel, Motel 6 and Super 8 have required the most calls for service. To put that into perspective, police have responded to the American Motel more than 500 times since the beginning of 2021. Some of those calls are police initiated. According to Murtha, unwanted party on premises, suspicious vehicles, disturbances (domestic violence, fight, verbal altercation) and follow-ups account for the lions share of calls. He said the nature of these calls does not mean serious crimes aren’t being committed in
used as housing. To be in compliance, extended stay rooms must be a minimum of 300 sq. ft, have a living room that is a minimum 120 sq. ft. and a defined bedroom space. The rooms will also have to be equipped with kitchen and cooking facilities. Extended stay rooms will be allowed to house a maximum of two persons per dedicated bedroom and provide proper storage for personal possessions. Housekeeping services must also be available for extended stay guests. For common areas of hotels/ motels with extended stay options, 24-hour front desk staffing will be required. Universal wireless internet and laundry facilities must be available, and storage of personal possessions (like a bicycle in the hallway) will be prohibited. Extended stay lodging licensing will also require the establishment to offer a minimum number of other amenities like fitness centers, pools, meeting areas or on-site restaurants. The annual fee for a hotel license will be $300. Ryan Sugden, an attorney representing the American Motel, tried to make the case that the underlying causes of many of the calls are societal issues that are beyond the capacity of hotel and motel owners to cure. He also said hotel staff worrying about how many times they’re calling the police will create a riskier
the hotels as well. “When I was first hired, my very first call for service — I went out at midnight —was at a hotel for a shooting,” he said. “We have incidents of human trafficking, drug dealing and other nefarious activity at many of our hotels in Wheat Ridge.” Murtha said the goal of the ordinance would be reducing crime and increasing overall safety in the city’s hotels and motels. The ordinance contains provisions that will affect both long-term (more than 30 days) and short-term (less than 30 days) occupancy. The ordinance creates new Hotel Licensing Requirements including requiring hotels and motels to achieve and maintain a low police call for service (CFS) rate within 12 months of obtaining their license. They will also have to participate in the City’s certified crime free hotel/ motel program. Further, hotels and motels in the city will have to meet all corrective actions in response to a hotel/motel inspection program report. Hotels and motels will also have to comply with the City’s existing landscape inspection program and adopted international building and property codes. Finally, these establishments will be required to establish and maintain an approved security plan. On top of these requirements, hotels and motels that offer extended stay lodging will need to ensure minimum standards for lodging

situation for everyone involved. Sugden said the extended stay requirements were particularly prohibitive because extended stay guests created less calls for service than nightly guests. Don White, the owner of the American Motel, also spoke. He said his staff has been fighting these problems for the more than 30 years his family has owned it. White made an impassioned plea for help from the City and police. “You all can bury your heads in the sand, but this exists. This is a problem of drugs, homelessness, crime — it’s here,” White said.

his start in pack burro racing in a similar fashion. As a storyteller who accumulated too many props, Lee started bringing along a donkey to carry his things. Before he knew it, he started running them. Many racers, including Lee, think the donkeys enjoy having a job to perform. “They get used to doing different things,” he said. “I just think they are really a lot happier interacting with humans and having a job, so to speak.” Lee rents his donkeys for others to use in racing so he can offset their cost. He says keeping any type of animal is not necessarily cheap. Michelle Hancock has been a runner her whole life. When she discovered pack burro racing, she was hooked: adopting several donkeys and moving to Evergreen. She points out that in some ways, donkeys uphold their stubborn stereotype. “Sometimes the donkey will run really fast; sometimes it won’t run at all.” As a teacher, Hancock gets to dedicate a lot of her summer to pack burro racing. “It’s like the highlight of my summer. It’s what I look forward to,” she said. Pack burro races can range from 5 to 29 miles, and often take place on trails in the mountains and in other states. The season generally

Both cases remained unsolved for years until a DNA match led coldcase investigators to Ewing, who was serving time in an Arizona prison for attempted murder and burglary. Ewings’ DNA profile matched evidence found at the scene of the Bennett and Smith murders. He was finally charged with the gruesome Colorado crimes in August, 2018. In August, 2021, Ewing was convicted of the Bennett murders by an Arapahoe County jury. Last month, he was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences by the presiding judge. During opening statements in the Smith case, Chief Deputy District Attorney Katharine Decker told jurors about numerous similarities in the Smith and Bennett murders. The killer had entered both homes through open garage doors. Both sets of victims were bludgeoned to death and semen had been found in similar locations at both crime scenes. Defense attorney, Katherine Powers Spengler, said the facts in the case were not that simple, and that evidence connecting Ewing to the crime had been mishandled and contaminated in the decades since the crime occurred. The newspaper reached out to Colorado’s First Judicial District for information about Ewings’ assessment and next steps, but at press time have not received a response.

missed one race (and they missed it for a different race), and Lyn recently won first place in a race in Arizona. Linda regards her donkeys as more than animals doing a job. She calls them her teammates and her family. Many owners work with their donkeys outside of racing, including them in weddings, nursing home visits, costume dress up and more. When the love of animals coincides with the fun of sport, it seems to produce a group of dedicated people, Hancock said. “The community of pack burro racing is really incredible,” Hancock said, and the passion behind these athletes’ words speaks to that.

Resilience1220 gets office space in Bergen Park Therapists offer counseling, groups to kids 12-20 BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In May, the CEO of Children’s Hospital Colorado declared a state of emergency in youth mental health, and a group based in Evergreen is helping by working with kids 12-20. Resilience1220, which has offered free individual and group counseling for kids in Evergreen and surrounding areas since May 2019, has just moved into space next to Buchanan Rec Center in Bergen Park. The new location includes two large rooms for individual or group counseling and meetings, and being next to the recreation center makes it ideal for kids. SEE RESILIENCE, P10

Golden budget under discussion Seven new city positions proposed BY GLENN WALLACE GWALLACE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Thanks in no small part to the
disruptions of COVID-19, the city of Golden is making some significant revisions to its planned twoyear budget.
We do estate planning, estate administration, and probate. We do it extensively and we do it well. Our team has served the Denver Metro area for more than 30 years. We offer initial no obligation consultations. Call today at (303) 670-9855 or visit our comprehensive website online at www.dslawcolorado.com for resources, videos, and more.
The current city budget cycle is set to take the municipality through 2022, but the city manager and staff have proposed significant revisions to adjust to changing conditions. Most notably, City Hall is calling for seven new full-time equivalent positions and a performance bonus to reward employees that kept the city running through the pandemic. The proposed revisions were first discussed by the City Council at an Oct. 19 study session. Council then held a public hearing on the budget at its Oct. 26 meetinjg. Future meetings are scheduled for Nov. 9, and Dec. 7. The proposed new city positions are: right of way inspector, fiber optic administrator, associate planner, housing policy coordinator, part-time economic development assitant, a co-responding police officer, social media and marketing
administrative position and an updrading of the existing part-time homeless navigator position to a full-time role. Fiscally, the city finances are doing well. According to the city staff’s budget proposal document, the ending balance for 2021 is projected to be at 37.8%, well above the 24.4% originally budgeted. The report attributes the increase primarily to sales and use tax. The city-proposed budget revisions also contain a performance bonus for many city staffers, totallying $250,000. Overally, the ending general fund balance for the end of the two-year cycle in 2022 is actually projected to end higher, even with the increases in spending. Approval of the 2022 Budget is scheduled for the Dec. 7 meeting. More information is available at the city’s website, cityofgolden.net.

Jefferson County mailing TABOR refund checks STAFF REPORT
Jefferson County taxpayers will soon receive a TABOR refund check in the mail, as required by the state’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights Amendment (TABOR). The TABOR Amendment requires governments in Colorado to refund excess revenue collected above the TABOR limit for a given fiscal year or seek voter approval to retain the excess revenue. In 2020, Jefferson County received approximately $1.5 million in property tax revenue above the TABOR property tax limit, as a result, the county is required to give that money back to the taxpayers in 2021.
RESILIENCE FROM PAGE 8
“We are so excited for our new space. We got a donated foosball table,” said Heather Aberg, Resilience1220’s founder and executive director. The program hosts 35 therapists with different therapy styles and offers 10 free sessions to kids. “We really try to focus on highrisk kids,” Aberg said, adding that therapists are seeing more acute cases thanks to the pandemic. A hallmark of the program is that
There are a variety of methods that can be used to refund the excess property tax revenue to taxpayers. Examples include mailing refund checks or applying a credit to the following year’s property tax bill. According to a press release put out by the county, mailing refund checks “was the most direct and transparent way for each taxpayer to receive their fair share of the refund.” All property taxpayers will receive an equitable share of the $1.5 million refund. The average refund is about $7; however, 87% of property taxpayers will receive less than $7 because the top five highest property taxpayers – all large commercial properties –
drive up the average. The size of some refund checks will be less than $1 according to the county. Still “the Board of County Commissioners, County Manager and staff believed it is important to be as equitable as possible in distributing the refund, according to the release.
counselors travel to clients. “That is one of our cornerstones,” she said. “Zoom has been good.” After a teen suicide devastated Evergreen, Aberg knew she had to do something. She encouraged therapists in the Conifer, Evergreen and Clear Creek County areas to get involved to help area youth. While schools have counseling programs, they are often flooded with more work and students than they can handle, according to Erica Haag, a Resilience1220 board member and a Clear Creek school board member. “So many kids right now are
struggling,” Haag said. “They just don’t have the capacity to see them as conclusively as they want to.” That is where Resilience1220 steps in. Working with schools, the program offers after-school clubs, groups, movie nights and counseling services for struggling kids. Since its start, the program has provided individual therapy
Why is this happening? Adopted by voters in 1992, TABOR applies to all levels of government in Colorado, including the state, counties, cities, school districts and special districts. In 2019 Jefferson County’s Board of County Commissioners proposed Measure 1A, which would
have allowed the county to keep tax revenue money that it would otherwise have to refund under TABOR, a move nicknamed “de-Brucing” after the author of TABOR, Douglas Bruce . The proposal was described as sorely needed by county government, particularly the Sheriff’s Department to avert significant budgetary cuts. Voters rejected 1A at the ballot box, which helped set the stage for Jeffco making $16.1 million in general fund cuts in 2020, and an additional $8.7 for 2021. County staff state that more cuts will likely be necessary beginning in 2023.
to more than 500 teens with no plans to stop. Haag said she got involved to help continue the strong relationship between the organization and schools, and she is glad that students have recommended friends for help. “The kids themselves are the ones that are promoting resilience,” she said.

The ghosts of the Arvada Cemetery weren’t the only ones coming back to life on Halloween this year. Tom Faughnan, a 90-year-old Arvada resident, rose from a coffin and danced around in the company of slightly bewildered friends and family members at the Arvada American Legion Post on Oct. 31. Faughnan — and his 14-year-old dog, Teddy — were guests of honor at ‘Tom and Teddy’s Funeral Rehearsal,’ a mildly morbid celebration of life for the pair of not-yetdeceased companions put together by a few family members with a flair for the dramatic. The idea began some 25 years ago, when a former co-worker of Faughnan’s called him up with a hairbrained suggestion. “A friend of mine, Joe Murray — he retired down in Florida — he calls me up and says `Tom, you know what you should do? You should get a picture of yourself and go to the funeral parlor where you’re going to have your funeral and put a sign up that says, ‘Coming Attraction,’” said Faughnan. “That’s where I got the idea. And for 25 years now, I’ve had that in my head. “I was only going to make the card. (Granddaughter) Faith (Richmond) helped me with the card, she did a really good job on it, it’s exactly what I was trying to have done,” Faughnan continued. The idea didn’t stop there. Richmond and her friends took the concept and ran with it, planning an elaborate mock-funeral party that broke out into karaoke and dancing following the unusual processional. “I’ve got a couple of people who are down to do something weird

and silly and liked the idea,” said Richmond. “My grandpa has always been a prankster and loves to get people’s goat and say and do hilarious things in his daily life — big elaborate pranks on friends and family. She called her grandfather’s party “his day in the sun.” Much of Faughnan’s extended family — his eight kids, 22 grandchildren, 5 greatgrandchildren and a host of nieces and nephews — attended the party to take part in the procession and dancing that followed, which included ‘Roll Out the Barrel,’ ‘We Are Family,’ ‘New York, New York,’ and other favorites paying homage to the family’s Irish heritage. The party was held at the American Legion Post, one of Faughnan’s — a Korean War veteran — favorite hangouts. Faughnan’s daughter Faith Sleevi said that the reception among family members has been mixed, though many of their clan share Tom’s dark sense of humor. “Amongst the siblings, we all have
an off-the-wall sense of humor. Some of the nieces and nephews had some issues,” said Sleevi. “My dad it thrilled, and we all got a kick out of it.” Aside from the festivities and elaborate pranks, Faughnan is hoping to impart some wisdom amongst the attendees. “Who’s afraid of dying? We’re all going to die. I’m 90 years old. And Jesus, don’t you think it’s time — I thought I was going to die in my 70’s, and I flew through that and I flew through the 80’s,” said Faughnan. “And here I am with the 90’s. God, kill me if I go any further. “We’re going to make it into a little philosophy, especially getting this country together. That’s how we’re going to end up, things like that,” Faughnan continued. “It’s about unity and coming together.” The cherry on top, according to Sleevi, is getting to pull the prank with Faughnan’s similarly graybearded pup, Teddy. “He doesn’t get along great with my mom, but he gets along great with the dog,” said Sleevi.

An altogether too-common tale
M
y Friday morning started with a text from a former legislator who now lives in Tennessee that I hadn’t heard from in almost three years. He’d received an GUEST email from me COLUMNIST asking for a favor that he thought was likely a result of someone hacking my email account. Over the next few minutes, my phone was blowing up with other Greg Romberg people, some of whom I hadn’t had any interaction with for several years, telling me not only of the initial email, but a follow-up one asking if they had received the first one. For those unfortunate enough to respond to either of them, there
was a third email asking them to send a gift card. As I started exploring what had happened, I found that the hacker had created a new email account that, but for the replacement of one small cap letter with a capital letter, was exactly the same as mine and had highjacked my emails. After changing my password, I was able to stop any future emails from going to the fraudulent account but was told by my internet service provider that any emails that had been sent to me while the fraudulent account was active could not be retrieved. Then the fun began! Once we (the service provider and I) were able to stop the initial bleeding, I still could not send or receive emails. About two hours into my five-hour marathon on the phone with six different service provider employees, I was able
to start getting my emails again. Once they started to arrive, they included things that had been sent beginning with the time that we’d stopped the forward to the fraudulent address. But I was unable to respond on that email account to any of the people who had gotten the original email and were asking either what favor I needed or if it was a scam. The first email I’d gotten when I started to receive emails was one from the service provider saying that (presumably because of the emails sent to all of the email addresses that were in my email folders by the hacker) I’d sent too many emails that day. I was on the phone with a representative of the company when that email was received and after reading it to her, got no reaction. Many hours and five representatives later, I asked if I couldn’t
send emails because the service provider had suspended my account and was told yes. Despite the many hours and many attempts to make it possible for me to send emails, none of the service providers’ employees ever thought to check if they had suspended my account. It began to work again the next day. My horrible, no good, very bad day was a reminder of how vulnerable we all are as more and more of our lives take place virtually. And as bad as it was, it could have been much worse. No financial records were stolen. To the best of my knowledge, no one bought gift cards for the hacker. And it was largely resolved in just one day. Greg Romberg is president of Romberg and Associates. He lives in Evergreen with his wife, Laurie.
Personal growth precedes, boosts professional growth
L
ast week I had the privilege to participate in a professional development program for salespeople delivered by my good friend and mentor Bryan WINNING Flanagan. Although I have WORDS seen Bryan and many other corporate trainers deliver quality programs for more than 20 years, I still pick up something new, or a lesson that needed to be Michael Norton reinforced. I listened to this one sentence, and I was immediately transported back to hearing Zig Ziglar talk about how important it is to develop the person, not just the skill set. Here is what was said: “Personal growth always precedes professional growth.” Having spent most of my professional career in the personal and professional development industry, I know this to be an accurate statement. Working with companies of all sizes, one of the questions I receive is around guidance for a sales training program or leadership development program

that can help companies accelerate growth. And before I answer, I ask a question in return, “What have you done so far to build the people in your organization?” Almost everyone will answer with a list of courses or companies that they have worked with to address or focus on a specific skill set such as sales training, time management, communication skills, customer service training, presentation skills, etc. When this happens, I pause and reframe the question. I acknowledge that those skills absolutely help develop capabilities, and then I ask them to think about some of the other character traits that can impact their people personally and professionally while still helping the company to grow. Some understand my question as they recognize that when we work on building our people, the people will in turn help us build our business. Equally, if not more important than the skills mentioned above, are the softer skills training such as confidence, developing a positive attitude, building winning relationships at home and at work, goal setting and achievement, and learning to work and live with hope.
When we can instill or work to strengthen these qualities, our people will be in a much better frame of mind to receive the other skills-based training that can further their career while contributing to their team and the organization. Having been in the people building business for most of my life, I can share with you that unfortunately many organizations miss this opportunity. This is a shame because there is so much available data that supports the fact that when we work on the personal growth aspects of our people, the professional growth always follows. Companies who overlook investing in personal development opportunities often find themselves paying substantially higher replacement costs. Sometimes we fall into the trap of believing that all the people we hire or who are already a part of our team don’t need any help in their personal growth. This is flawed thinking because each of us will go through life’s challenges, and we may not always be prepared for the impact or toll those challenges can take on our lives. Even some of our people whom we see as strong and capable may be going through a hardship that can

Colo. needs the right plan to expand early education
T
his summer, Gov. Jared Polis signed a historic bill to support universal Pre-K education in Colorado. The legislation’s passage represented a major milestone in a decades-long GUEST quest to expand COLUMN educational opportunities for young learners. But the hard work is not done. The way we move the plan forward, and how we decide to use the funds for universal Pre-K, will have huge consequences for Colorado families and their children. Our Pre-K program can set a positive example for other states, but Cathrine Floyd only if we make the and Deborah J. right choices now in our planning. Leong COVID-19 widened severe opportunity and achievement gaps for children from low-income families, children of color, multilingual learners, and other underserved populations. Currently, only 40% of eligible children are able to access preschool through the Colorado Preschool Program. Funding for universal Pre-K will help, but only if all students have access to high-quality choices. Money alone will not be enough. The state’s new Department of Early Childhood must start with a strong blueprint to design a highquality program. Our youngest kids have unique potential and unique needs that can guide these plans. Supporting every child’s potential starts with improving teacher training and paying early educators what they’re really worth. Colorado educators who work with children ages 0-4 make an average of $26,875 a year — far below the state’s percapita income of about $41,000. Clear definitions of quality and a streamlined bureaucracy also will go a long way toward helping Colorado families find the best learning options for their kids. To receive full-day funding for their child, parents may have to use money managed by two differ-

ent state agencies — Colorado Preschool Program dollars, through the Department of Education, and the Child Care Assistance Program, through the Department of Human Services. Many parents don’t have the resources to identify high-quality programs in such a complex system. High-quality choices should be readily available to every family. Measures of quality should be grounded in the science of child development. High-quality programs should include consideration of equity, exploration, and other principles of ideal learning environments — both for the parents seeking the right program for their kids, and for the children in the classroom. The best early learning programs use these principles to personalize learning and meet every child where they are. They champion play as central to a child’s growth and learning, and value childhood as a unique time when kids learn through close relationships with their teachers and peers. They’re committed to engaging and empowering families as active participants in their kids’ learning. Not all early childhood programs are the same. Many people assume that worksheets and flashcards teaching discrete math and reading skills are the best tools to advance a child’s academic success. But that’s not how young children learn best. How we teach matters as much as what we teach, and the how has to honor what we know about children’s growth and learning. For example, play-based models have been shown to foster whole-child development and support literacy and math skills. The principles underlying these programs should be woven into the state’s earlylearning plans. Educators need robust training to create learning environments that set up 3- and 4-year-olds for success both in Kindergarten and in life. If we don’t give educators the resources they need, too many children will be left behind — even in a world with universal access. Colorado is a diverse state, and our youngest learners have diverse needs. The good news is we already have a variety of models that support children, families and educa-

tors in their unique communities. Programs like Tools of the Mind support teachers through professional development that includes individualized video coaching, small-group monthly facilitated professional learning communities, regular workshops and a range of digital resources including child-assessment tools. Educators can receive undergraduate or graduate credit for their professional development through Tools. Schools and districts pay for the training, building a talented workforce while relieving individual educators of the cost. Also, other programs such as EL Education, HighScope, Montessori and Reggio Emilia support children’s growth and learning through engaging experiences with objects, peers, educators, and the community. These ideal learning experiences build the academic abilities and social-emotional skills of well-rounded learners. Colorado’s emerging universal Pre-K program could be a model for other states who want to set students up for lifelong success. But that will be true only if we
build a system for all children and families. It may sound complicated, but these comprehensive, inclusive, and high-quality early childhood programs can help us build a Pre-K system that serves every young learner.

o often festival experiences are centered around a particular kind of creation - film, music, books, etc. The JCC Mizel Arts and Culture Center’s 14th annual Neustadt Jewish Arts, Authors, Movies and Music (JAAMM) Festival blends all of them in an event that spans almost twoand-a-half months. “The event was originally conceived as more of a literary festival, and from there other things started to grow,” said Rich Cowden, general manager of the culture center. “We started asking how there could be more arts and culture involved and that’s how it expanded to where we are now.” The festival, which began on Oct. 6 and runs through Tuesday, Dec. 21, features more than 20 events in all kinds of areas film screenings, author talks, local theater performances, comedy performances and more. Typically, there are more live music elements, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic that has been scaled back for this
year’s festival. The JCC Mizel Arts and Culture Center’s, 350 S. Dahlia St., COVID-19 policy is that attendees 12 years old and older must be fully vaccinated and all attendees, regardless of age, will also be required to wear a mask at all times. As such, there will be three options for participating in the JAAMM events: in-person, virtual and hybrid. “This is a great opportunity to engage in a really participatory way over a relatively short period of time,” Cowden said. “We’re not just interested in showing people these things and asking them to go home. There’s a level of involvement we want to achieve so people feel like they’re part of the experience.” Some upcoming highlights from the festival include: Tuesday, Nov. 9, 7 p.m. - Judy Batalion. Hybrid Event. The Fred Marcus Memorial Holocaust Lecture will showcase Batalion and her book, “The Light of Days: The Untold
S t
U
s p Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler’s Ghettos.” Tuesday, Nov. 30, 7 p.m. - Colum McCann. Hybrid event. National Book Award-winning and bestselling author McCann will discuss his monumental novel “Let the Great World Spin,” his latest work, “Apeirogon,” and more about life as an author. Tuesday, Dec. 7, 7 p.m. - Rabbi Sandra Lawson. Hybrid event. Rabbi Lawson will speak on the topic “Black, Jewish & Queer: Navigating Judaism with Multiple Identities and Building Bridges.” “This festival is really about building community and conversation, building a place to have constructive, creative and challenging conversations,” Cowden said. “A lot of people might be reluctant to come to an event because they don’t know if they’ll like it. But if you come into a space which is accessible, friendly, SEE READER, P18

likewise generate interest in the sport. Evangelista, who started archery in 2013, recommended people give it a shot at least once, saying, “If you like it, you like it.”
Setting their sights on indoor competitions This time of year, Lewis said indoor ranges see a mix of people doing it for fun, children learning the sport, and archers practicing for tournaments. For a serious archer, he said, indoor and outdoor archery are two completely different games. There are more options outdoors, including hunting and 3D target courses; but indoor has its own world of events and specialists too, Lewis explained. Conifer-area resident Dave Cenedella said he and his wife plan to compete in the Thursday night league at Bear Creek Archery. Cenedella, who’s been practicing archery for six years, said he enjoys bow-hunting and shooting in his backyard range. Like rifle-shooting, archery requires self-reliance, he continued, but it doesn’t impact one’s hearing like rifle-shooting does. “It’s super-challenging,” Cenedella said of archery. “There are so many variables, and you have to do everything the same way every time.” Right now, Colorado’s best archers are preparing for this February’s Vegas Shoot, the annual indoor “Super Bowl of archery” in Las Vegas. Castle Rock’s Chris Treloar, a staff shooter at Quick Draw Archery, said the tournament world is a lot of fun. He’s competed in indoor and outdoor competitions, winning several across Colorado. Treloar also enjoys the ritualistic side of archery. The state has a huge archery community, with lots of shops and organizations, so there’s something going on every night, he said. Fellow staff shooter Rick Typher, who lives in Highlands Ranch, appreciates how archery is therapeutic and a mental game, stating, “It’s a battle against yourself.” Un-bow-lievable fun Whether archers only recently started shooting or have been practicing it for years, local in-

but harder to hold, local professional archer Steve Marsh explained. Meanwhile, compound bows are individualized and end up being harder to draw but easier to hold, he said.
“You can’t expect to master (archery) overnight,” he said. Marsh, who works at Bear Creek Archery and shoots for the Matthews Archery team, described how he started archery at age 8 but didn’t become proficient until he was 20. Littleton’s Ben Hartford and his son Nathan, 14, started archery earlier this fall. Ben used to do it at camp, and revisited it when his cousin gifted him a bow. Since then, he and Nathan have been practicing how to sight their targets. “It’s a skill,” Hartford continued. “The more you do it, the better you get.” Isaac Smith, a college student from Highlands Ranch, started five or six years ago and described it a fun hobby that he revisits whenever he can. He enjoys both indoor and outdoor archery, and likes setting up makeshift ranges whenever he goes camping. “It can be relaxing if you don’t stress about it,” he said. Madison Myles, who lives in the Parker area and started archery when she was 10, also has an outdoor range at home and tries to shoot at least once a week. “I like the joy of it — the adrenaline rush,” she said. “It’s fun. Just try it out.”

h yes, fall is in the air. It’s also all over the ground. We may have had a lot of unusually warm weather to start off the season, but once there was a bit of a chill in the air it seemed like every single leaf AVENUE on every tree just FLASHES jumped ship and floated on down. I mean all at once in a single day or two. That’s probably an exaggeration but it sure seemed like that at my house. I almost need a blower to find my John Akal car in the driveway. I know, it happens every year and to be honest, I tend to wait until most of the leaves have fallen to start raking them up. I don’t see much point in cleaning up the yard just to have to do it again the next day. Which brings us to one of the best, but least glamorous events that happens twice a year here in Golden. It’s time to get ready for the Pay As You Throw - Fall Yard Waste Pick Up. They have one in the spring, too. Yeah, I know. It’s not exactly the kind of fall event that you start waving banners about, but I guess you could turn it into something more fun by capping it off with a tailgate party in your driveway. Actually, that’s a pretty good idea! Start sort of a neighborhood tradition. I’ll have to work on that.

Thornton commemorates Dia de Los Muertos Every year Thornton’s Dia de Los Meurtos celebration gets bigger and more fun, and for its fifth year the city is pulling out all the stops. The fifth annual event will be from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 6 at McAllister Park Center, 750 W. 96th Ave. in Thornton. The free family-friendly event features food trucks, live entertainment, an art market, Katrina costume contest and more. From 6 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 13 the city is also hosting a
have to pay extra to get it picked up and hauled away. Let’s start out by putting a different spin on the whole task at hand and turning it into a fall sport like football. On one team we have you and your family with a bunch of trees on the opposing team. The game starts with Team Tree kicking off their leaves onto the playing field. The leaves are then picked up by Team Family and run into a paper bag until it’s full, thus scoring a touchdown. Branches count as a field goal and any leftover weeds get you an extra point. Now, like any game there are a few rules. First of all this collection is only for organic yard waste. That means leaves, grass clippings, pine needles, branches and ground or chipped wood. Anything else draws a penalty flag. This stuff is recycled so no plastics, dirt, cactus, tree stumps, branches greater than four inches in diameter, ashes, animal waste, treated lumber, logs, old garden hoses or broken flower pots. No building material either. The next rule is that all the yard waste has to be collected in either compostable paper bags or in that nifty new “organics” container you recently got with the green lid. Anything else is considered an ineligible receiver and will not be picked up. No plastic bags. You can get those paper bags at any hardware store and as long as you are there, you might want to pick up some natural fiber twine, string or rope to tie them up with because using anything else, like nylon or plastic gets you another penalty
flag. You will also need to use that kind of rope to tie up any branches or limbs. Speaking of branches and limbs, you can dispose of any of those that are less than four inches in diameter by bundling them together and setting them next to the rest of the debris to be collected. Bundles must be four feet in length or less and no more than two feet in diameter. Now, on to the playing field description. You are limited to three cubic yards of waste per resident, which equals about 4x4x4 ft. or 21 certified compostable 30 gallon bags. So, go ahead and smash your opponent down so you can fit more into a bag. Defense, defense, defense! Golden’s Fall Yard Waste Pick Up will be happening during the week of Nov. 8. Just put everything out near the curb by 7 a.m. on your regular trash day that week. Try to remember it’s there when you back up out of your driveway that morning. Don’t ask me why I mentioned that. Alright, now put together a good game plan. Even though you can’t burn leaves in the street anymore, you can fire up the barbecue when you are done and celebrate a Team Family victory! Cue up the Family fight song and go out there and get ‘em! Rah, rah, rah.

Hopefully, the fact that she’s hitting the road is a good sign of new music on the horizon. SZA is embarking on a relatively short west coast tour and Denver’s Fillmore Auditorium, 1510 Clarkson St., is fortunate enough to be one of the stops she’ll be making.

DIA chief: ‘Holiday season will be tough’ Security lines long amid passenger surge, labor shortage BY MATT BLOOM DENVERITE
Lizzie Johnson describes her most recent trip through Denver International Airport as “stressful, to say the least.” She’s flown in and out of the airport for decades, but this time was different. When the Denver resident arrived at DIA on Oct. 15 with her husband and two kids, the Transportation Security Administration security line wrapped all the way through the baggage claim area and beyond, she said. At one point, she and her husband got separated in the crowd and had to call each other to link back up. “There were lines and confused people everywhere,” Johnson said. “I’ve never seen it that packed.” Passenger traffic has bounced back sharply at DIA since the pandemic began, leading to record long security wait times and parking bottlenecks at the airport. The airport is currently seeing the fastest recovery of any U.S. hub, according to DIA leadership. Flight records show more than 24 million passengers passed through the airport between January and June. The numbers remain high and

ence Oct. 22, airport CEO Phil Washington asked for patience during the surge, saying DIA was struggling to meet demand due to capacity limits and labor shortages in almost every department. “We intend to make things better,” Washington said. “But we have a lot of work to do.” Washington, who took the CEO job three months ago, outlined several immediate changes to help meet projected demand during the upcoming holiday season. They include the reopening of shuttle parking lots, construction of four new TSA security lines and the addition of more information kiosks, with workers known as “purple shirts,” to help passengers navigate the terminal. Airport staff will shoehorn the new TSA lines into the existing security infrastructure as soon as possible, Washington said. He did not offer a clear timeline for the project.

Electric vehicle charging station opens in Lloyd King Center EVgo brings six fast chargers to Arvada STAFF REPORT
Electric vehicle drivers in Arvada have a new charging station to help curb range anxiety. EVgo, a nationwide provider of fast chargers for electric vehicles, opened six charging stations in the Lloyd King Center parking lot, located at 6350 Sheridan Boulevard, on Oct. 26. Four of the chargers are capable of charging up to 180 miles in 15 minutes, while the other two can charge up to 90 miles in the same timeframe. With the opening of the Arvada chargers, EVgo now has 86 chargers in Colo., and over 800 chargers across 34 states nationally. Colorado Lieutenant Governor Diane Primavera, State House District 32 Representative Adrienne Benavidez, Executive Director of the Colorado Energy Office Will Toor and Arvada Mayor Marc Williams were on hand for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. “People in House District 32 are primarily low and mid-income,

closed for months due to ongoing bus driver shortages. To help with recruiting, Washington said he is looking at waiving commercial driver’s license requirements as a hiring condition. The solution would require drivers to use smaller vans to ferry passengers from the lots to the airport. “I think it should be permanent,” he said. “Because this is going to be an ongoing issue as passenger volumes increase.” Since opening in 1995, DIA has seen visitation skyrocket to roughly 70 million passengers each year. Numbers plunged during 2020 due to the pandemic, but the airport projects volume to reach 80 million by 2025 and 100 million by 2035. Many of its current challenges stem from the fact that the facility was built to serve roughly 50 million passengers each year, Washington

and I think that’s what we’ve been missing with electric vehicles,” said Benavidez, “how do you make it accessible to low-and mid-income people?” Primavera touted the Colo.’s progress in moving towards the state’s plan to have about a million electric vehicles on the road by 2030. “I drive by here every day on my way to Broomfield. The Polis-Primavera administration has settling term goals to mitigate pollution and said. Several long-term construction projects are in the works to expand capacity, but some have hit roadblocks in recent years. “The holiday season will be tough,” Washington said. “But I see light at the end of the tunnel in terms of next year and after the holidays.” Inside the terminal Oct. 22, security lines snaked well into the baggage claim area. Passengers said they were surprised by how busy the airport was, but some noted premium options like TSA PreCheck helped them reach their flights in time. Jim Overmeyer drove to the airport from Congress Park to pick up two friends coming into town for a concert. It took him 15 minutes just to find parking, he said. Then he got lost in the terminal’s maze of construction walls. “This is crazy,” he said. “But I understand they’re doing what they have to do to stay relevant.” In late October, the airport opened the first phase of its Great Hall expansion after a series of delays.

made tremendous progress in the last two years towards having one million electric vehicles on the road by 2030,” said Primavera. “Electric vehicles aren’t just a luxury, but a smart choice.” Williams said the city supported the statewide effort to get more EV’s on the road.
“These new EV fast chargers will help further advance Colorado’s electrification and climate goals and expand valuable access to public charging for residents and travelers alike,” said Williams. “The city of Arvada is committed to moving away from the combustion engine. It’s the right thing to do.”

Homelessness: How can metro Denver grapple with problem? CU Denver and a think tank offer ways to help BY TATIANA FLOWERS THE COLORADO SUN
Homelessness is pervasive and costly, and has worsened and grown more complex in metro Denver, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. There’s no single solution to resolving the crisis affecting more than 6,000 people in the sevencounty metro region, according to researchers who spent months interviewing formerly homeless people and the leaders of organizations that serve them. Expensive housing, a shortage of paid human services staff and mistrust in the system are among the factors making the homelessness problem even more intractable, researchers said. A major recommendation by the researchers studying homelessness in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson counties is adding more affordable housing options. The report cited Denver’s Supportive Housing Social Impact Bond Initiative, which has provided housing and case management services to about 300 people experiencing chronic homelessness, who were frequently involved with police, jails, courts and other

emergency services. When those people were offered housing and wrap-around services, they remained housed and interacted less frequently with costly emergency services, according to an analysis published on the city’s website. The report includes several other

ideas that researchers at the Common Sense Institute and University of Colorado Denver identified as successful in other communities and held promise for use locally. “There are a variety of programs doing impactful work in meeting the different needs of people experiencing homelessness,” said Kristin Strohm, CEO and president of the Common Sense Institute, a research organization dedicated to protecting and promoting Colorado’s economy, which partnered with CU Denver to produce the report. “Our goal with this phase was to document what’s working, where there are opportunities, where there might be gaps and ultimately learn from them to solve this crisis,” Strohm said. The Common Sense Institute and CU Denver released a nearly 70-page report Oct. 25, the second to emerge from their research. The first report, released in August, analyzed the economic impact of homelessness in metro Denver. Researchers estimated that almost $447 million a year is spent on shelters, supportive services, health care and other public assistance for people experiencing homelessness in metro Denver. The researchers are also urging community leaders to find additional ways to support providers, who are short-staffed, yet offer critical support to people who are homeless or at risk for homelessness. Amplifying awareness of provid-
ers and their work can help achieve that goal, and encouraging formerly homeless people to become entrepreneurs, who offer peer services in the system, can also help address the crisis, study leaders said. Mistrust in the system can steer some people away from accessing the services they need, so finding new ways to build trust in the system is also crucial, researchers said. Clarifying eligibility requirements can help achieve that goal. The process to receive services often involves many forms and complex structures that make it difficult for homeless people to navigate, extending the amount of time before people in need can get help. More self-navigation tools could reduce the time spent during the process, researchers said. The report said it’s critical to improve access to online or electronic information for homeless people who don’t have reliable phone and computer devices. Homeless people can often miss vital connections to information related to their health, employment, housing, transportation and financial needs because they lack consistent access to the internet, electricity, phones or computers. As a result, providers often struggle to deliver services to their homeless clients, the report said. “The issue of homelessness in our communities is an incredibly SEE HOMELESS, P25

Junior homecoming royalty makes Arvada West history BY MAKENZIE SPROLES FOR WESTWINDS
NO HOMECOMING QUEEN The move to decouple homecoming court voting from gender also resulted in two senior Homecoming Kings (Noah Younger and Jonathan Bashford) being crowned, though they aren’t a couple. In a survey of 77 students, parents and community members from A-West conducted by Westwind, there was a clash of opinions on how well they felt homecoming was handled. There was 46.8% of respondents who agreed that holding an inclusive vote was the right way to go about the situation. On the other hand, 36.4% of respondents said they disagreed with the school’s decision, leaving 16.9% remaining neutral on the topic.
Editor’s Note: This story was written for, and first appeared in Westwinds, the student newspaper for Arvada West High School. Homecoming has made history at Arvada West this year; two females have won homecoming royalty. Juniors Brianna Curtis and Jade Newkirk have placed a new view on royalty and the purpose of being who you are. Curtis and Newkirk have been dating for six months and were encouraged by their peers to run for royalty. This was the first time that A-West has offered a voting form that does not mention gender, opting to only have “Choice 1” and “Choice 2” on the ballot. This inspired Curtis and Newkirk to be the first same-sex couple to run for homecoming court at A-West. As time passed, forms were passed out and advertisements were created, junior voters around A-West casted their votes. The winners were then announced. As many assumed, the two juniors won. Curtis states, “Being royalty showed me that gender norms aren’t so important to Arvada West anymore.” Curtis believes that there has been a huge growth in the student population and people becoming their true selves. Both Curtis and Newkirk commented that the experience showed

many students that you can express whoever you are, even if you come across some heartache, everything will be okay in the end. They hope to motivate many others to stand up for who they are; encouraging others to do the same in the future. With all this said, A-West has
many ways for students to express who they are, such as the Gay/ Straight Alliance and Equality Club (soon to come). It is aiming to create a safe space for students as well as a community for people to accept and express themselves. There are always ways to get in-
volved at A-West. There have been many exciting things last month alone. One was National Coming Out Day. On Oct. 11 many celebrated the day for LGBTQ+. Newkirk encourages everyone to, “Be true to yourself,” telling not only the school but those who listen, no matter what hardships life comes to face, always be there for yourself and who you are. With history made at Arvada West, more is expected to come, as the future is forever changing.

complex and challenging one, and requires a clear understanding of the ways to both prevent people from experiencing homelessness in the future, and providing faster ways to recover from homelessness now,” said Dan Griner, director of design, innovation and strategy for the CU Denver Inworks Innovation Initiative, a collaborative of leaders working to solve humanity’s most pressing problems, according to the organization’s website. Metro Denver’s population has grown by 21% over the past decade, and grew by 1.6% in 2019, alone. Denver’s growth rate is higher than that of the state, which saw a 15% increase in population growth from 2010 to 2019, according to the report. The number of people experiencing homelessness in Denver grew by 25% from January 2017 to January 2020. While the number of homeless people likely grew in the last year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is unknown by how much. Metro area leaders typically count the number of homeless people on a single night each year. But the annual point-in-time survey, or PIT count, did not occur this year because of the pandemic. The state has a housing deficit of more than 175,000 homes since 2019, the report said, and while Colorado is “a fairly progressive state” at implementing new initiatives, the housing shortage in Colorado means it’s ranked the fourth worst in the nation behind Washington, D.C., Oregon and California. One affordable housing real estate developer interviewed in the report said zoning challenges and community pushback have prevented them from moving forward any new projects in Colorado in seven years. Similarly, a Denver Department of Housing Stability leader said it costs more than $300,000 to develop a new single unit for affordable housing in the metro Denver area. With rising rental costs and a housing shortage, many voucher programs are unable to close the gap between current prices and what people can afford, according to the report. The report said a major precursor for homelessness is vulnerability — the possibility of being attacked or emotionally or physically harmed. Vulnerable people experiencing mental illness, family instability, substance use disorders, repeat experiences of incarceration or domestic violence, for example, are at higher risk for losing their hous-

ing and may need immediate shelter services. Many people who are currently or formerly homeless are considered vulnerable, and the perception of vulnerability is often considered a risk factor by many landlords or rental agencies, who can be reluctant to lease to them because of that factor, according to the report. One service provider included in the report framed the issue of homelessness as “a loss of community.” “When homelessness is a result of loss of community, then finding ways to welcome individuals into a new community is necessary,” the person said. Although CU Denver and the Common Sense Institute have completed their research for this homelessness project, at least for now, leaders from both organizations said they hope to continue working toward solutions. “The providers in this space and many of the people who are working in this every day — this is common knowledge for them, as to how these things are working,” Griner said. “But the general public and the community — we all have a part in helping to alleviate this problem and understanding it to a greater degree,” he said. “We’re hoping with education, more people are able to make informed decisions around policy, and around how they interact with this issue.” To read the full report, go online to commonsenseinstituteco.org.

Green Mountain beats Conifer, sets sights on Lutheran BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS
LAKEWOOD — A pick-6 by Green Mountain junior Anthony DiGrazia helped set up the Class 3A North West League championship game this week at Trailblazer Stadium. DiGrazia intercepted Conifer quarterback Zach Zalfa and returned the pick 12 yards for a defensive touchdown Friday, Oct. 29, at Trailblazer Stadium. The scored with less than two minutes to play sealed a 20-6 victory for the Rams. “We were expecting some sort of pass. I just watched my key and waited for the quarterback,” DiGrazia said. “I picked it for the gamewinner.” Green Mountain (6-3, 4-0 in league) has a chance to win the conference title next week. The Rams host No. 2 Lutheran at 6:30 pm Friday, Nov. 5, at Trailblazer Stadium. It will be a tall order for Green Mountain. The Lions (9-0, 4-0 in league) have been on a tear this season.

Ralston Valley boys soccer battles in playoff opener loss BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS
WESTMINSTER — Legacy’s prolific goal scorer — Cooper Stephens — admitted he was a little frustrated Oct. 27 at North Stadium. The junior had chance-afterchance to put the ball in the back of the net in the opening 40 minutes of the Class 5A 1st round playoff game. The No. 7-seeded Lightning dominated possession and scoring opportunities, but No. 26 Ralston Valley kept the game scoreless going into halftime. “It was rough,” Stephens said. “I went out this earlier this week and worked on my shots. I wanted to score a bunch today. One was enough and it won us the game.” Stephens put his 21st goal of the season into the back of the net in the 52nd minute. It was all Legacy needed as it took a 1-0 victory to advance to the round of 16 Tuesday, Nov. 2, where they will host rival and No. 10 Broomfield. “I had been making the same run during the game,” Stephens said of his header off the corner kick by sophomore Lucas Monstera. “I got my head on it once and it hit the cross bar.” Stephens put the eventual gamewinning header out the reach of Ralston Valley back-up goalie Donovan Meador. The Mustangs’ starting goalie — sophomore Parker Scott — was brilliant in the first half. However, Scott took a knee to the head in the opening minute of the second half when Legacy senior Scott Croff collided with Scott while going after a loose ball in the goalie box.
FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 26
While Green Mountain never trailed against Conifer (3-6, 1-3). The Lobos hung in the game by slowing down the Rams’ rushing attack. Green Mountain took an early 7-0 lead on a 7-yard touchdown run by junior Dominic Sanchez, but the Rams had to settle for a pair of 37yard field goals by senior Gabriel Marquez to extend the lead to 13-0 through three quarters. “Conifer played tough. They were
“He (Scott) had a great first half and played really well,” Ralston Valley coach Jamie Scarcliff said of the sophomore goalie. “I’m proud of Donovan, also a sophomore, for coming in a big game. Both of them stepped up. They gave us the chance to stay in it.” Ralston Valley (8-7-1) hadn’t got many shots on goal until late in the second half. The Mustangs’ best scoring chance came in the 60th minute when junior Pablo Molla Tejero fired a shot the hit the cross bar. “I think those last 8 minutes of the game we started firing it on,” Scarcliff said. “I wish that would have started a little earlier, but again, I’m proud of the kids that they didn’t give up and they kept it tight.” Legacy (13-2-1) weren’t able to tack on an insurance goal as Meador was solid in net for the Mustangs. “They were a lot better than I think all of us expected them to be. I applaud them for that,” Stephens said of Ralston Valley. “They had a great season.” Stephens and the Lightning turn their attention to rival Broomfield that came from behind to defeat No. 23 Columbine 2-1 in another first-round game Wednesday night. Legacy defeated the Eagles 2-1 earlier this season. “They program has never made it past the quarterfinals,” Stephens said. “That is where we are striving to get.” Ralston Valley started the season 1-5 before having a nice run to the postseason. The Mustangs entered the playoff with a 4-game winning streak with all victories coming via gearing for this game,” German said. “They knew they had a chance to ruin our season.” The Lobos got on the scoreboard midway through the fourth quarter with a 1-yard touchdown run by Zalfa to make it a 1-score game at 13-6 with 7:58 left in the fourth quarter. “We didn’t want to talk about that too much,” German said of the importance of taking care of business against Conifer to keep the Rams’ playoff hopes alive. “I’m not happy with how we played. I don’t think we played really clean.” The pick-6 by DiGrazia saved the Rams from sweating out a possible

a shutout win. “They worked really hard throughout the season,” Scarcliff said of her squad. “I think with us being so young this season it took us awhile to find our timing together. It took us time to build and connect with. It helped us play stronger at the end of the season.”

A group of skeletons gets ready to race the Zombie 5k.
PHOTO BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE
The Walking (and Running) Dead EAPL’s annual Zombie 5k was how some chose to start their Halloween BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
On a foggy Sunday morning, the zombies came out to tear through Evergreen, or maybe it was people in costumes running the annual Evergreen Animal Protective League’s Zombie 5k. The race is a fundraiser for EAPL, featuring vendors, an auction, a bake sale and adoptable dogs. EAPL volunteer Bambi Moss, clad in a banana suit, said the event is important for the dogs. “It’s a great way to meet the dogs,” she said. “It’s a fun 5k for all the community and their dogs!” Moss said this event is especially important for active dogs needing homes because EAPL is looking for
active families to adopt dogs that love to run and exercise. This year’s winner came up to the finish line with someone chasing his tail. Sixteen-year-old Rhys Hanson from Conifer High kept his lead and took first in the race. “It was awesome,” he said. “It hurt, but it was awesome!” Hanson started running 1.5 years ago and is on the cross country and track teams at Conifer High. He said he liked the pressure of a competitor behind him because it drove him to run faster. This is the first race Hanson has ever won. He planned to spend the rest of his day meeting up with friends and trick-or-treating. After the race, participants enjoyed snacks and hot drinks while checking out vendor booths or chatting with members of Evergreen Fire/Rescue. Even the dogs seemed to be checking out each other’s costumes, proving that the Halloween spirit does not discriminate based on breed.

Permittees must apply to the City Manager for such an extension, and may not operate after October 31, 2021 in the absence of receiving an extended permit. No extension of a temporary permit is available if a permittee has an active sidewalk permit. Section 2. The City Manager is hereby authorized to extend the Miner’s Alley Pilot Program (“Program”) to accommodate short-term parking, loading, walking, and outdoor food and beverage service in Miner’s Alley through May 31, 2022, subject to the provisions of the Golden Municipal Code and other applicable law, including but not limited to building codes, business license provisions, zoning codes, local liquor licensing requirements, public safety, Jefferson County Health regulations, and applicable rules and regulations of the State of Colorado Liquor Enforcement Division, provided that such use will not create an imminent threat to the public health, safety, or welfare.

Section 3. The City Manager is hereby authorized to continue suspending enforcement of parking requirements on private property as set forth in Chapter 18.36 of the Golden Municipal Code and to impose other reasonable conditions on the use of such property pursuant to plans approved by the City Manager to accommodate short-term parking and to enable outdoor seating, sales, and service by food and beverage establishments for on-site consumption by patrons in seats through May 31, 2022, subject to the provisions of the Golden Municipal Code and other applicable law, including but not limited to building codes, business license provisions, zoning codes, local liquor licensing requirements, public safety, Jefferson County Health regulations, and applicable rules and regulations of the State of Colorado Liquor Enforcement Division, provided that such use will not create an imminent threat to the public health, safety, or welfare.

Section 5. This ordinance shall not release, extinguish, alter, modify, or change in whole or in part any penalty, forfeiture or liability, either civil or criminal, which shall have been incurred for violation of any provision of the Golden Municipal Code. Each provision shall be treated and held as still remaining in force for the purpose of sustaining any and all proper actions, suits, proceedings and prosecutions for enforcement of the penalty, forfeiture, or liability, as well as for the purpose of sustaining any judgment, decree, or order which can or may be rendered, entered, or made in such actions, suits, proceedings, or prosecutions. Section 6. Severability. If any provision of this ordinance should be found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the remaining portions or applications of this ordinance that can be given effect without the invalid portion, provided that such remaining portions or applications of this ordinance are not determined by the court to be inoperable. The City Council declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, despite the fact that any one or more section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion be declared invalid.

Grieving support is available BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Grief shared is grief divided, according to those who have lost loved ones and those who provide support. That is why Mt. Evans Home Health Care and Hospice offers bereavement support groups for people who have lost spouses and children, and people who have lost loved ones to suicide. Susan Conceicao, a bereavement counselor at Mt. Evans, explained that sometimes getting support while grieving loss can be challenging. Often, people do not know what to say or how to be supportive, and stigmatized deaths such as suicides and drug overdoses can bring forth unwanted connotations and shame. Conceicao said groups for parents who lose a child are more common. “Unfortunately, as we are all living longer, it’s not extremely uncommon to lose an adult child
unfortunately,” she said. “It’s a devastating loss, and it’s a very specific loss.” Anne Meier, manager of support services, added: “You can imagine how deep the grief is when you lose a child.” Charlie Hill of Evergreen attends a bereavement group and one-onone sessions after he lost his wife to cancer. “When a spouse dies, you lose a lot more than someone who is warm and cute,” he said. “(I) experienced disruption of vital interpersonal connection she and I had. ... I feel lonely. … I AM lonely.” Hill says the group helps give back some of the things he lost when he lost his wife. “By being with others who lost a spouse, it’s made me feel less alone in my grief,” he explained. He also enjoys having both the ability to share with others to who understand how he feels, and the
FIND SUPPORT If you or someone you know has experienced loss and is coping with grief, call 303-674-6400 to speak to Mt. Evans’ licensed social workers and bereavement volunteers for counseling, referrals and supportive care. Mt. Evans sponsors several support groups. For more information, go to mtevans.org/services/emotional-support/ burden is less when he is with others. “I thought, `Why not?’ There would be other people there who had similar experiences. I think (I had a) desire to be around other people who weren’t just my family,” said Hill, who lives with his daughter and her family. Conceicao says this can be a common experience because sometimes it can be hard to get support from the people closest to you.
Hill learned about the support services from the hospice nurses at Mt. Evans who cared for his wife, and he says now he is in a much better place. He continues to write as an outlet for his grief. In “Just One More Thing,” he wrote: “My wife of 51 years died after a five-year battle with cancer. Since her death I have longed to do `just one more thing’ for her. To have just one more chance to interact with her. Just one more kiss, one more diaper change, one more pillow fluff, one more sip of water, one more dose of morphine, one more act of any kind that would allow me to interact with the lifelong mate I had loved and loss.” If you or someone you know has experienced loss and is coping with grief, call 303-674-6400 to speak to Mt. Evans’ licensed social workers and bereavement volunteers for counseling, referrals and supportive care over the phone.
