Mobile home park legislation moves forward Despite strong industry and operator pushback, bill to stabilize lot rent goes to appropriation

BY DEBORAH GRIGSBY DGRIGSBY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A bill that would prevent mobile

home park owners from increasing lot rents by more than 3% annually is now on its way to the Colorado House Appropriations Committee.

HB 22-1287, known as the Protection for Mobile Home Park Residents bill, made its way out of a 6-hour panel hearing, Wednesday, March 23 at the State Legislative Services Building where Hearing Room A—as well as the overflow room—was packed.

Close to 150 people from across the state signed up to give testimony,

either in person or remotely, on the bill that some say is an outright form of rent control and will foster deteriorating communities and hurt the very residents it aims to protect.

While three pieces of mobile home legislation have already been enacted in Colorado, Rep. Edie Hooten, D-Boulder, co-sponsor of the bill, said there are certain things within the Mobile Home Park Act that “need improvement.”

GPD to add additional code enforcement officers

Evergreen is showing some love for a longtime school bus driver.

A GoFundMe has netted more than twice the target fundraising goal to help send Shreevie Kenner of Golden to visit a friend in Hawaii. Kenner, who has been driving Evergreen’s young ones to school for 24 years, plans to take the one-week vacation in June — after school ends for the year, of course.

Friend and co-worker Joan Cooper set up the fundraiser, calling Kenner an amazing lady who never loses her spunk.

“She loves those kids,” Cooper said. “(Driving school buses) is a way she can stay connected to kids. I mainly (set up the GoFundMe page) because I felt she deserved to go to Hawaii.”

In fact, the page raised $2,000 in a couple hours when the request had been for $1,000 to pay for plane tickets. As of March 27, the page had raised $2,910.

communities.

Ken Dale, representing Impact Communities, which operates 19 mobile home parks in the state of Colorado, said the Greenwood Village-based business would be negatively impacted by the bill.

“Rent control ultimately restricts the maintenance, sustainability, and creation of the affordable housing our mobile home communities provide,” said Dale, arguing that tying rent increases to the rate of inflation is not commensurate with community operation models.

“For example, from 2011 to 2022 our health insurance went up by nearly 25%, additionally, our vendors and suppliers are not restricted to a cost-of-living increase like we would be under this bill and could pass along a higher percentage cost to us.”

Dale added the company would not be able to recoup increased costs from residents if the bill passes.

“Actually, rent control works in reverse from its intent to the residents,” he said. “Limiting rent increases that take no consideration of these increased costs means that we will not be able to afford to maintain the communities and the residents would then suffer living in a stereotypical ‘trailer park’— something that Impact Communities, as well as others in our industry, have made efforts to change.”

Denver housing attorney Debbie Wilson represents a large number of mobile home communities in Colorado and says mom-and-pop type operations would suffer most.

“These are relationships that thrive when everyone works together,” said Wilson of her clients and the people who reside in the communities they operate. “This bill would lead to a more adversarial posture between the park and its residents, in my opinion.”

Wilson believes the bill, as written, will face a lot of constitutional challenges for many reasons, but particularly because it takes away park owners’ ability to cover basic expenses and, in her opinion, would be the last straw for many small and medium-sized operators, basically “destroy the industry.”

Park operators testified that many mobile home communities

once owned by mom-and-pop outfits contribute to problems encountered by new owners.

Some owners say rent increases are necessary to keep enough reserves available to handle deferred maintenance and costly infrastructure repairs and replacement.

Third-generation mobile home park owner Paul Bannocks says his father, who built their mobile home park with his father, would agree with what the bill is proposing.

“He did not increase the rent, he felt sorry for the people and allowed the business to deteriorate,” Bannocks said. “So when me and my brother took it over, we had a lot of structural problems to overcome, and so that cost a lot of money so we had to raise the rent.”

So, the two brothers had to significantly raise the rent just to bring the park back from losing money to breaking even.

Bannocks said the tenants were mad and accused him of profiteering.

He said he was just trying to save the park and it is now a better place with more amenities.

Bannocks also said there’s inequity in the bill and thinks a little reciprocity would make sense, especially when park owners would be subject to the controlled sale of

But supporters of the bill say it is an important measure in protecting vulnerable populations.

Esther Sullivan, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Colorado, specializing in poverty, has spent the last 12 years studying manufactured housing and mobile home parks specifically.

She testified that one in every 10 new single-family homes is a manufactured home, and for firsttime low-income homeowners, one in every four new single-family homes is a mobile home.

“Manufactured housing, especially when it’s located in a

mobile home park, provides homeownership at unmatched levels of affordability,” Sullivan said.

She said in some cases, when

towns—including Colorado mountain towns—lose mobile home parks, they can lose up to 90% of their affordable housing stock.

“In the course of my research, I have documented extreme levels of housing insecurity in these parks where residents, oftentimes living on low and fixed incomes, are subject to frequent rent hikes and predatory landlord practices,” Sullivan added.

Sullivan said corporate and private equity investment firms find mobile home parks an attractive source of passive income because owners are free to raise lot rents and homeowners to absorb those rent hikes or lose their home and all their housing equity.

“I have also seen the positive long-term impacts for both housing stability and affordability when policies support resident ownership of parks,” she concluded. “We have an affordable housing crisis right now, and yet we are allowing one of our most affordable sources of housing to disappear.”

Kenner has always wanted to visit Hawaii. Her parents promised her a trip there when she was young, but they divorced, so the vacation didn’t happen. Kenner said she watched the Elvis Presley movie “Blue Hawaii” a million times because she always wanted to visit.

Children riding the bus have become an integral part of her life, especially after her daughter Brittany died in 1994 at age 7 of Ewing’s sarcoma, and she never had more children. Kenner was saving to make the Hawaii trip when her husband died of COVID-19 in October 2020, and that money went to medical and funeral expenses.

Comments on social media show how much parents have valued Kenner as a bus driver, and she also worked for the Evergreen Park & Recreation District during summer camp for 10 years starting in 2000.

They called her always on time, dedicated to their children, kind, always with a bunch of dog treats—

Kenner, who gets up early to drive from Golden to the Jeffco Public Schools bus facility in Marshdale by 5 a.m., had planned to retire, but with the death of her husband, she’s decided to work as long as she’s able.

Don’t tell, but friend Cooper hopes to make Kenner a purple muumuu and present it to her at the bus drivers’ end-of-the-school-year party, which will be luau themed.

additional two new full-time code enforcement officers, bringing the full unit count to seven, including the one supervisory position.

The estimated cost for the upgraded position and two new officers, equipment and uniforms is $258,204.

“I think everybody is well aware of the issues that come with having the creek and trying to manage that in an effective and efficient manner,” said then-Deputy Police Chief Joe Harvey.

Harvey said the GPD has been charged with public safety along Clear Creek for many years and has tried multiple approaches, some successful and some not.

Historically, the city has employed park rangers as seasonal hires, but while Harvey applauded their efforts, he said there have been challenges.

The City of Colden will be getting some additional help this year to enforce code along SHUTTERSTOCK Clear Creek.

“Most are college-aged or retired folks who are looking for a job to do during the summertime,” he explained. “And at times, there appears to be a non-appetite for enforcement measures. They do fabulous when it comes to being champions of our city and working with people who come in to enjoy the creek in terms of trying to seek voluntary compliance. They’re really good at that.”

But Harvey said the park ranger

program has not been as effective in ensuring the correct type of enforcement.

Harvey said that hiring additional police officers, while it made sense, would not be fiscally responsible, and then the city would have to figure out what to do with the officers in the off-season.

Hiring retired police officers also poses problems because they must maintain professional certification.

He said code enforcement officers cost less than police officers but would be familiar with dealing with code violations and people who are frustrated or become angry. They can also explain why the code exists, what the offense might be, and take appropriate action, if necessary.

Additionally, he said code enforcement officers would be well-suited to take on additional duties in the off-season.

Harvey reiterated that GPD is committed to an equitable model of policing and seeks always to use a balanced approach to law enforcement as appropriate.

“The creek can be very challenging because we are trying to balance an approach that invites people to come to visit our community, enhances the creek experience for those who live here and utilize it on a daily basis, but also does not provide a forum where the police department comes across as heavyhanded,” he said.

include public art and theater, music or dance equipment, or resources).

Civic development: Brick and mortar type projects that provide community amenities improvements to a property (like a community track complex) or land, property acquisition, or re-purposing for the community’s benefit (like the American Mountaineering Center).

Critical needs support: Infrastructure to give residents of all ages equitable access to opportunities for healthy living (such as social service facilities or amenities).

Environment: Projects that sustain a healthy local community and provide outdoor entertainment and recreation (gardens, trails, parks and land preservation).

Other: The Foundation will consider all ideas, but physical brick-and-mortar type projects that will have a long-lasting impact on the quality of life are preferred.

For 50 years, the Golden Civic Foundation has served Golden as a community catalyst, responding to immediate needs and anticipating future challenges. The organization’s primary focus includes civic development and community-oriented small business loans.

In addition, the Foundation’s annual community and special grants program has provided more than $6.5 million of funding to charitable organizations, public schools, government, museums, and cultural centers in the greater Golden area.

Retail marijuana licensing needs further social equity discussion

BY DEBORAH GRIGSBY DGRIGSBY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As Golden City Council continued its retail marijuana discussion, council members seemed to struggle with how social equity might play into the city’s forthcoming regulatory ordinance and licensing process.

Special Assistant to the City Manager Steve Glueck has been working with staff to prepare a draft for consideration.

Staff and the city attorney’s office have reviewed several elements from other Colorado municipali-

ties, looking for administrative and procedural best practices for the licensing of retail marijuana.

Councilmembers have previously expressed strong support for social equity regarding licensing for retail marijuana operations.

Glueck suggested it might be easiest to use the state’s existing social equity license qualification criteria to rank applicants who would be eligible for the minimal number of licenses Golden will offer.

As an altertnative, Glueck said that some communities have reserved licenses for such persons.

According to Glueck, the state’s program is based on either income or being disadvantaged by a previous minor marijuana arrest.

Individuals who live or are currently living (for at least 15 years) in a specific census tract between 1980 and 2010 might also qualify.

“The word social equity just, you know, raises some concerns for me and perhaps others trying to understand why we’re putting that term into this particular work that we’re trying to get done now,” said Councilmember Paul Haseman.

“And particularly when it appears to say that someone who had a

prior marijuana or drug offense is somehow being given an advantage with regard to gaining a license, and I find that just almost inconsistent with what we’re trying to achieve.”

While other council members seemed to like using the state’s criteria, they also agreed that further discussion on what social equity would mean for Golden’s program and future applicants.

Last November, city voters passed the limited retail sales of marijuana to adults within the parameters of Amendment 64 (2A) as well as a 6% tax (2B) on its commercial sale.

‘Blue Ridge’ brings ‘hell-raising’ center stage Miners Alley Playhouse announces premiere of Rosebrock’s dark comedy

BY DEBORAH GRIGSBY DGRIGSBY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The regional premiere of Abby Rosebrock’s “Blue Ridge” opens April 15 at the Miners Alley Playhouse in downtown Golden.

Under the direction of Miners Alley Playhouse Artistic and Executive Director Len Matheo, the pitch-dark comedy about heartbreak, hell-raising and healing runs through June 5.

Set in southern Appalachia, “Blue Ridge” is the story of Alison, a progressive high-school teacher with a rage problem. After she retaliates against her unscrupulous boss, she is sentenced to six months at a church-sponsored halfway house, where she attends to everyone’s recovery but her own.

“As a director and a producer, I was attracted to ‘Blue Ridge’ for its

ability to be funny while also tackling serious issues,” said Matheo.

“It’s also a tour de force for its main character, Alison, and we have an

amazing actress playing that part in Jessica Robblee.”

Along with Robblee, the all-star cast includes Simone St. John as Cheri, Jason Maxwell as Cole, Chris Berghoff as Hern, Jacqueline Garcia as Grace, and Bobby Bennet as Wade.

“Blue Ridge is a devastating examination of how even smart, strong women can be deformed by a society that raises them to please—and how men who don’t fit in can be victims, too,” said Raven Snook, theater critic for the New York edition of “Time Out.” Tickets for in-person seating are available online at www.MinersAlley.com or by calling 303-935-3044.

“Blue Ridge” performances run at 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. on Sundays.

Ticket prices range from $35-45 for the opening night $17-45 for Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Preview performances are scheduled for April 13 and 14.

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On March 21, political leaders including U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter (CO-07), Jeffco Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper and Wheat Ridge Mayor Bud Starker joined Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) officials in a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the start of construction of a replacement bridge at I-70 and 32nd Avenue in Wheat Ridge.

In a written statement, Perlmutter’s office said the project aligns with CFDOT’s 10-year plan commitment to replace aged bridges throughout the region and state.

The statement also pointed to the improved safety aspects the replacement bridge will offer, as well as its ability to support increasing traffic.

“This intersection right behind me is notorious in that a year or two ago, a chunk of concrete fell off the bridge and landed on the hood of a brand new car,” Perlmutter said, referencing the soon-to-be-rebuilt bridge.

Funding for I-70 bridge replacement infrastructure projects comes from both state and federal sources.

Perlmutter said although construction disruption is never easy to deal with, residents in the area should see increased ability to deliver goods and services—something important to the business community. He also said infrastructure projects would create good paying jobs in the state over the span of the next 10 years.

Dahlkemper said the project was a

summer for another replacement bridge at I-70 and Harlan Street.

Overall, the surrounding area could see as many as six bridges replaced.

“Jefferson County is the gateway to the Rockies, as we know, and a highly traveled important stretch of the interstate connecting Denver and the metro area with our I-70 mountain communities,” she said.

“And this project will help improve both the safety and mobility for Jefferson County residents as well as all Coloradans.”

Shoshana Lew, CDOT Director, said her agency had done a comprehensive study on the state’s bridges in 2021, quantifying which bridges were most in need of replacement.

“Finally, finally, we are bringing this bridge and several others to today’s standards,” she said.

On a snowy, blustery March morning, Denver Parks and Recreation (DPR) donated 17 bison yearlings to the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes in Oklahoma.

The bison had been staying at two of the Denver Mountain Parks: Genesee Park in Golden and Daniels Park in Douglas County.

“This is what we should’ve been doing for decades as owners and as stewards of these wonderful animals: returning them, as we have nurtured them and raised them, but returning them back to our Indigenous leaders of this land, the caretakers of this land,” said Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, who spoke at the March 21 event at Genesee Park.

According to DPR, this year is the first time in “recent history” that Denver is not holding a bison auction; that tradition ended last year when the department said it would instead “select tribes across the country that will accept the bison to build and enhance conservation herds on tribal lands.”

In total, Denver is transferring 33

bison this year: 15 to the Northern Arapaho Tribe in Wyoming; 17 to the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes in Oklahoma (which happened Monday); and one to the Tall Bull Memorial Council in Colorado.

Jordan Dresser is a member of the Northern Arapaho Tribe in Wyoming. He was at Monday’s event at Genesee Park.

“Being able to reclaim the bison is a big moment for us because it’s taking back what was taken from us,” Dresser said.

American Bison used to roam North American grasslands in massive herds but were nearly extinct in the 19th century due to commercial hunting and diseases. By 1900, there

were fewer than 1,000 bison in existence, according to DPR. On March 22, there are about 31,000 free-range wild bison in North America. DPR operates two bison herds in the name of conservation: one at Genesee Park and another at Daniels Park. The herd was first established at City Park by the Denver Zoo, but moved to Genesee Park in 1914 and expanded to Daniels Park in 1938.

DPR’s executive director Happy Haynes said she hoped the bison transfer shows “a commitment to working to dismantle the ongoing legacies of oppression and inequities and recognize the current and future contributions of Indigenous

communities in Denver and Colorado.”

“Oppression and inequity is built over hundreds of years, and it can be dismantled piece by piece,” added City Councilwoman Jamie Torres, who represents District 3 in Denver.

Various Colorado officials have made recent efforts to preserve the country’s bison population. In addition to DPR’s bison transfer last year, Governor Jared Polis and U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse (D-Boulder) recently asked the U.S. Department of the Interior to put a stop to the National Park Service’s plan to kill a dozen bison in Grand Canyon National Park. Polis and Neguse were unsuccessful.

Dresser hopes people can learn lessons from Indigenous peoples’ treatment of bison.

“The bison was important to us not only for our cultural ways but also for everyday use. We used the bison for meat, also for household items. We utilized every single part of the body. So that’s important for today’s world because we live in a society that’s so wasteful.”

Tobacco prevention policy specialist addresses vaping among Jeffco youth Health official breaks down the problem and tells Lakewood City Council they could be doing more to fight it

BEST OF THE BEST

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

During a March 21, meeting of Lakewood City Council, Katie Lazar, tobacco prevention policy specialist with Jeffco Public Health (JCPH), addressed tobacco/vape use among Jeffco’s youth.

Overall, Lazar said, JCPH has been encouraged by the slow but steady progress in declining tobacco and vape use across the state. But some evidence suggests the county may have experienced an uptick in use during the pandemic.

One particular data point Lazar highlighted showed the perception of vaping as a risky activity went from 49.8% to 73% between 2017 and 2019. She credited education and policy work for increasing awareness that vaping is not a harmless activity.

But she said notable health disparities continue due to inequity in the way the tobacco industry targets advertising to youth, lowincome earners, communities of color and the LGBTQ community.

“The historical targeting of black and brown communities by the tobacco industry has led to devastating and preventable death and disease,” she said.

Considering those factors, Lazar said the total percentage of youth tobacco use can be misleading, because industry tactics have created a situation where certain groups and communities have been hit much harder than others. Among those groups, Indigenous (American Indian/ Alaskan Native and Native Hawaiian/ Pacific Islander) and LGBTQ communities have the highest rate of use.

In Jeffco’s rate of use among youth is just below the state’s 5.7% average, hovering around 5.2%.

JCPH stats show that 26% of Jeffco youth have used a vape product in the past 30 days, while only 4.1% have smoked cigarettes during the same time period. Lazar said the 26% figure is also a bit skewed because for kids in grades 11 and 12, the number jumps up to above 32%.

Lazar said access to tobacco products also is a concern, citing the high percentage (63.8%) of youth reported that it would be ‘very easy’ or ‘sort of easy’, to get vape products if they wanted to.

According to Loren Edwards, Nurse and Drug Intervention

BEST JCPH has been encouraged by the slow but steady progress in declining tobacco and vape use across the state. But some evidence suggests the county may have experiSHUTTERSTOCK enced an uptick in use during the pandemic.

Specialist at Lakewood High School, there’s been an increase in vaping among students at school, surpassing pre-pandemic levels. Edwards said levels of nicotine dependency has increased among students, with more students reporting difficulty making it through a two-hour period without experiencing the onset of nicotine withdrawal symptoms.

Lazar said the most commonly confiscated vaping devices at Jeffco schools are the flavored, disposable types.

Efforts are being made to reduce tobacco use at the county level, but some municipalities including Lakewood, are lagging in important areas.

Requiring a full local tobacco retail license, codifying the minimum legal sales age at 21 and prohibiting the sale of flavored tobacco products are all steps Lakewood has yet to implement.

Arvada is doing slightly better, having adopted the minimum age requirement. Both Golden and Wheat Ridge require the full retail license and have adopted the age requirement.

Edgewater is the only munici-

pality in Jeffco to adopt all of the efforts, including prohibiting the sale of flavored tobacco products.

What else can be done?

Lazar pointed out the benefits of adopting a strong local tobacco licensing policy.

She said the full licenses curb youth tobacco use by preventing illegal sales to youth. It also allows for more consistent enforcement at the local level and evens the playing field for all businesses that sell tobacco products.

Lakewood is one of a small number of municipalities in the state that still have an exemption to statewide cigarette licensing requirements that were passed in 2020, creating a minimum age (21) to buy tobacco products.

Lazar said Lakewood could further strengthen current ordinance language, increasing the distance from schools, in which businesses are allowed to sell tobacco products. And the city could also add smoke/vapor-free patio requirements for restaurants and require common consumption areas to be smoke/ vape free.

When seizures disrupted his chess skills, a Golden teen made his move Griffin McConnell chose surgery that left him only half of his brain

BY KEVIN SIMPSON THE COLORADO SUN

Griffin McConnell hunches over the laptop in his bedroom, surrounded by posters and artifacts of a teen’s favored cultural distractions, and peers at his singular obsession. A chess board fills the touchscreen, along with a Zoom image of a young student on the other end of the internet connection, soaking in strategic lessons from his mentor.

“He plays the classical variation,” Griffin explains to the boy as, move-by-move, he replays an archived game on the screen. “But now there’s a couple ways to deal with this. We always talk about h5 as the most popular move. But what he played was knight h3, which is a very odd move.”

For a solid hour, Griffin fluently speaks the cryptic language of chess, with its cipher of letters and numbers describing the movement of pieces across the board. He has loved the game since he was 4, when his father

Griffin McConnell, 17 prepares before his next match during a chess tournament at the Embassy Suites in Denver. Because of epileptic seizures that started in childhood, he had half his brain first “disconnected” to halt seizures and last year, removed when the seizures returned. The surgery was a success, and in the absence of seizures and the disorienting spells called “auras,” his skill has improved markedly. Through it all, he has become an excellent chess player with a rating on the verge of “master” designation, PHOTO BY JOHN LEYBA/SPECIAL TO THE COLORADO SUN and intends to make a career of chess as an instructor — he already teaches several students.

first showed him how the various pieces move about the board. At 5, he won his first scholastic tourna-

ment.

Now, at 17, he has advanced to national master — one of only three high schoolers in Colorado to achieve that status — and his progress has pointed him toward a potential career. But since the very start, he’s had to overcome debilitating epileptic seizures that, as a young child, led to surgery to disconnect the left side of his brain to keep them at bay.

For several years after the surgery, he lived without seizures and worked hard to rehabilitate his speech and some motor function on his right side — though he didn’t regain use of his right arm and hand. But with his mind free to absorb the strategic intricacies of chess, Griffin thrived.

For him, chess became the great equalizer, a competition devoid of physical constraints that played out in the quiet conditions where he functions best. But around his middle school years, he felt indications that something wasn’t right. Not the grand mal seizures of his youth, but more subtle hints sometimes called auras — sensations that can signal certain brain activity, including smaller seizures.

His world would shift to slow motion. He could hear his heartbeat accelerate. Unlike the intense seizures that gripped him as a child, the auras didn’t impede his speech, so he was able to communicate what he felt. When they passed, he’d often be left with chronic headaches and a pervasive grumpiness.

The impact on his ability to play chess became painfully clear.

In fact, Griffin could quantify it: By the time he was 16, he earned a rating — the universally recognized number that reflects a

player’s standing based on results in competition — of a little over 2000, a statistical threshold that carries with it the title of “expert.” But then, with his concentration suffering from the auras and possibly from the medications prescribed to alleviate them, his game left him.

“I was right on kind of like my peak when that happened,” Griffin recalls. “And then I just tanked.”

The path ahead loomed frightening and uncertain. It would eventually lead to the option of another major surgery to remove the remaining brain tissue on his left side, in the hope of eliminating the newly recurring seizures.

This time, it would be Griffin’s move.

“For this surgery I had the choice,” he says. “What was a little bit more scary is that it was really up to me to decide if I wanted to do it or not.”

Surgery for seizures In 2013, parents Kevin and Kori McConnell wrestled not only with the risk of mortality if they agreed to let Griffin undergo a hemispherectomy — which would effectively disconnect the left half of his brain — but also the impacts on the physical and cognitive abilities of an active child and a gifted student.

Some disability on his right side was a given, and the procedure could have put his language development at risk. Even the medical staff at Children’s Hospital Colorado, where Griffin has received treatment from the beginning, debated whether it made sense to move forward with the operation.

Amid the uncertainty, then 8-year-old Griffin nonetheless SEE CHESS, P11

entered the state scholastic chess tournament. When a seizure gripped Griffin in his last match, Kevin retreated with his son to a couch and cradled him until it ran its course. Several minutes later, Griffin indicated he was ready to resume play.

Choosing his rook, he attempted to move the piece diagonally, like a bishop. After a second attempt in which he failed to make a legal move, his heartbroken father intervened and — to Griffin’s confusion — forfeited the game.

That experience further informed the parents’ decision to move ahead with the surgery, in which the neurosurgeon removed about a quarter of the cortex on the brain’s left side and disconnected the rest from the right half of the brain. The risky procedure worked, and the seizures disappeared.

It all came at a price for an athletic kid: He was left with permanent physical limitations on his right side and had to relearn to walk.

But about 10 days after the operation, still wearing a tube to drain fluid from his head, Griffin sat in bed and pointed — now with his newly dominant left hand — to a chess set his dad had brought to the hospital. He wanted to play.

“It was a big learning curve after the surgery,” Griffin says. “For a couple of years, it was more about improving my speech and my ability to walk again. I was fierce to try to walk again. But it was kind of a work in progress — always.”

Although neither of his parents are chess players of any great skill, over the years the McConnells increasingly became a chess family. Griffin’s younger brother, Sullivan, learned the game and progressed rapidly, challenging and surpassing Griffin and eventually becoming a five-time scholastic state champion. (Moira, the youngest of three siblings, showed no interest at all in chess and channeled her talents into the arts, echoing her parents’ backgrounds.)

Like families that embrace competitive youth sports, the McConnells poured time and money into their boys’ chess development.

Kevin, who recently launched his own business as a hearing instrument specialist, estimates they’ve spent $2,000-$2,500 a month on travel and tournaments. And that’s with cutting corners, like hauling a microwave with them so they can eat on a budget in economy accommodations. Both boys teach private lessons to help with expenses.

Juggling the family dynamics can be challenging, Kori admits.

“With the boys, it is hard to maintain supporting them on their own trajectory without taking away from (Moira),” she says.

“It can feel consuming to balance it out. But to be great you do have to invest.”

Smitten by the game and tirelessly devoted to improving, both brothers saw their ratings contin-

ually rise. Sullivan, 15, eventually overtook his older brother and after earning a 2200 rating became a national master. Griffin — through all his medical issues — has remained in dogged pursuit.

But the onset of the auras seemed to stall his improvement.

“For the last year that we did competitive play, Griffin was making these weird, couldn’t-closethe-deal kind of games, and it was really frustrating,” Kevin recalls.

“And none of us knew that it was because he was actually having seizures during the game.”

It took time to confirm that suspicion. Griffin underwent repeated testing in which, while hooked up to monitors, he would press a button whenever he felt an aura coming on and doctors could then check his brain activity.

“We were really desperate to find answers,” Griffin says. “ And then on one of the hospital stays they found just a little part of seizure activity. And that’s why I was so lucky that we caught one, because if we didn’t catch one, they wouldn’t do the surgery.”

The auras that started appearing when Griffin was in middle school were actually small, partial seizures, as opposed to larger ones that might affect motor function or trigger shaking, explains Dr. Susan Koh, Griffin’s neurologist at Children’s. “But they became bigger in 2019 as they spread to his remaining brain tissue, resulting in garbled speech and confusion.”

Koh started him on multiple medications, but none worked.

That’s when surgery filtered into the conversation.

The original surgery back in 2013 to disconnect the left side of the brain had come with several concerns, including creating neurologic deficits that could have far-reaching impacts on Griffin, especially on his speech. But the bet paid off, thanks in large part to his perseverance and therapy that restored lost function.

Dr. Brent O’Neill, the pediatric neurosurgeon who has performed both of Griffin’s major operations — he has undergone four total — notes that the surgical option presented last year carried a narrower set of risks. Certainly there were the usual concerns surrounding major surgery, such as bleeding, recovery and infection, but the procedure wasn’t expected to cause further loss of function.

The discussion among the medical staff revolved primarily around whether the procedure would prove helpful.

“It was really just kind of reopening the old incision, going back into that left side of the brain and checking that everything was disconnected, and then just removing all the leftover tissue,” O’Neill explains.

Griffin felt confidence in both of his doctors. With the decision in his hands, he approached it methodically, listing pros and cons of moving ahead with the operation.

His biggest concern was avoiding the cognitive decline that had shown up in further testing.

“The main factor for deciding to do it was because of the SEE CHESS, P16

VOICES The new fault line in society

M

y parents went to every parent-teacher conference I ever had—usually mom. Not that there was any particular reason, it was just how the “zone defense” got set up when two parents raise seven children.

I don’t think she ever really needed to go to conferences. For the most part, I was a good student. I had a few bad habits, like being … inconsistent … about my math homework, but, the grades were fine, and the behavior was fine, too. Except for 8th grade. But that’s another story.

At any rate, by my expectations as a teacher, I would say that, most of the time, my parents showing up at conferences was unnecessary. A pleasant diversion in the night, but not particularly important. It was simply their way of building the parent-teacher partnership.

I know—that sounds bizarre these days.

My parents believed in maintaining close contact with my teachers, not because they didn’t trust them, but because that would foster the sort of collaboration that they thought would bring out the best in me. And, believe me, that partnership wasn’t always a

great thing for me: I knew very well that if I got in trouble at school, I would get it double at home.

But, in turn, I—and my teachers—knew that if something was going off the rails at school, my parents would be in the building, would be calling them by Michael Alcorn name, and would be unflinching in their defense of right and wrong (regardless of which side of the issue I happened to stumble upon).

That sort of dynamic seems so quaint to me now that it could be out of a Jane Austen novel. As a teacher, the idea that parents would side with me instead of reflexively defending their kid is rare, if not ridiculous. The tacit message teachers have heard over so much of the last three decades is “take care of my kid and don’t trouble me.”

Which is, I think, why the sudden new fault line in society.

“Fault line in society?” Why, that’s so strange.

HITTING HOME

The new fault line in society seems to be exactly who is responsible for children, and to what extent the two sides get to assert themselves and their values into the others’ demesne.

Some of these battles aren’t new.

The Charter School movement grew out of dissatisfaction among some parents with what they felt was a watered-down educational philosophy starting to permeate the curriculum.

And even that isn’t exactly unique to charter schools: the reason we have the intense standardized testing regime we have these days was a reaction to a creeping softness in the curriculum which was, perhaps, best represented by the idea of “selfesteem education.”

But it grew to be more than that.

Eventually, old-school values of excellence and achievement have become replaced by many public schools choosing to downplay those values in favor of equity and accommodation, and the like. So then, it’s not just about the curriculum but the entire approach to teaching that curriculum. Is there anything wrong with equity? Absolutely not. Should that be foremost on schools’ minds? Instead of achievement? That’s a matter for

debate—it wouldn’t have been for my parents. Think I’m overstating it?

Check out the San Diego schools’ new grading policies. And, as we know, what starts in California eventually makes its way to Colorado.

And now we have school-side battles about Critical Race Theory (yes, it does—check out National Education Association New Business Item 39 from 2021) and whether 7-year olds should be advised by their teachers whether they should consider gender reassignment. Has it really gotten that bad here? We’ll never know—our State Legislature killed a curriculum transparency bill in committee.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Relationships, partnerships, go a long way towards balancing extremes. Our kids deserve as many sane voices working together for their good as we can muster.

ast night I stopped by a takeout restaurant to grab a bite to eat, and while I was waiting there I had a couple in their early 20s standing close to me. The young lady remarked to her boyfriend that she didn’t want to stand next to the rest of the group that she came in with, probably her parents and their friends. What she actually said was, “I don’t want to wait over there with all those old people.” I looked over at them and they were all about 15 years younger than I am. Old people? Holy cow! What does that make me?

Then to cap it off, another group of people in their 30s came in and one of them started telling the cashier how she remembered their old location, which was actually just on the other side of the current parking lot, and hadn’t been there for years and seen their new building. She was going on about it like it was ancient history, but they only made the move in 2016. I remember stopping there for ice cream with my parents when it opened in 1967.

What Jefferson County funding challenges mean to you

J

efferson County has a reputation as a wonderful place to live, visit and conduct business. However, the quality services the county provides to residents and local businesses come at a cost. Despite General Fund reductions in 2020 and 2021, the county is facing up to an additional $20 million in cuts in the General Fund in 2023.

Without support from our voters for additional funding, these cuts will reduce programs and services and the county will not be able to deliver those programs and services in the way in which our community is accustomed.

This is not a new challenge or discussion with our community.

A ballot measure was brought to voters in 2019 and since that measure did not pass, the county is still facing a reduction in spending in the General Fund, which means cuts to essential programs and services that our community relies on.

As a result, many critical infrastructure projects in facilities and transportation will be further postponed, which adds to the already existing backlog of projects which is quickly approaching $400 million. This additional spending reduction of up to $20 million in 2023 may mean staffing reductions leading to reduced levels of service to a broad spectrum of

areas, ranging from public safety to snowplowing, the continued degradation of roads and bridges and likely longer wait times to process licenses and permits.

While specific impacts are still being identified and prioritized, these are just a few examples of the potential impacts these reductions may cause for our community.

And, because when Jefferson County reaches the TABOR revenue cap, any additional funding must be turned away. This means other counties may benefit from the use of these additional dollars to support their communities, where Jefferson County cannot.

To learn more about the Jefferson County Commissioners, visit www. jeffco.us, contact us directly at commish@jeffco.us or individually at tktharp@jeffco.us, akerr@jeffco.us and ldahkem@jeffco.us. The Jeffco Board of County Commissioners’ public hearings are held at 8 a.m. on most Tuesdays. See our Meetings & Agendas page for details.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Advocating for reforming Colorado’s broken immigration system It is imperative that our lawmakers urgently enact critical reforms that help fix our failed immigration system and provide long overdue certainty and security to the countless immigrants who call our state and nation home.

Immigrants are a pillar of Colorado’s economic success. They fill key jobs in understaffed industries and pay billions in state and local taxes each year, which help pay for the government services we all use each and every day.

For Colorado to continue benefiting from immigrants’ economic contributions, we must reform our broken immigration system.

It is time for Congress to reflect the will of the majority of Americans and what’s best for Colorado by prioritizing immigration reform. If Congress were to enact legislation that provides a pathway to citizenship for our nation’s undocumented immigrants, the United States will add 121 Billion to the economy each year, including $5.3 billion in Colorado.

Congresswoman Diana DeGette has long been an ally of Colorado’s immigrant communities.

Her leadership is an inspiration for Coloradans who want their representatives to put partisanship aside and pass reforms that benefit our communities.

I am confident that despite recent setbacks and partisan bickering, Congresswoman DeGette and her colleagues will not let our immigrants down and will

For example, in 2021, the county was unable to accept state grant dollars to support critical wildfire mitigation efforts. Another example of this challenge arises when the county earns additional interest on its bank accounts.

Because the TABOR revenue cap applies to those interest earnings as well, those additional amounts must also be refunded from the General Fund.

On our Funding Challenges page on www.jeffco.us, you can find more details on why this funding challenge is happening.

You can take our budget survey to let us know about your priorities and ideas for the budgetand what county services are important to you.

We also like to invite you to attend one our Community Budget Forums in April and May. These in-person events will provide more information, allow attendees to participate in small group discussions and let our commissioners hear about how you’d like to see the county address these issues. Find all dates and locations for these events on the Funding Challenges page on jeffco.us.

The proposal by Mr. Jeffry Bradley and his family Bear Creek Development Company calls for the equivalent of eight football fields of a solar PV Array, plus the required metal fencing and one-half or more miles of cable dug or strung running down the north side of South Table Mountain to 32nd Avenue to an acceptable Excel Energy transformer. This proposal is inconsistent with requirements of the publicly approved Jefferson County Central Plains Community Plan which calls for the top and slopes of STM to be open space.

This solar array application is tentatively scheduled to be presented to the Board of Adjustment at 9 a.m. April 6.

LIFE

Some Front Range mental health workers are using nature as a ‘co-therapist’

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

L

ots of Coloradans spend their free time hiking through the forest, climbing mountains and backpacking through the wilderness, but some of these adventurers are simultaneously working on improving their mental health.

That’s because of a variety of outdoor mental health programs along the Front Range that are using nature as a “co-therapist.”

Whether it’s the guided meditations

Climbers working with Aleya Littleton in adventure therapy make their way up the rocks.

of forest bathing, the extended alone time of wilderness therapy or the activity-based programs of adventure therapy, there are multiple options for people who want to improve their mental health but aren’t interested in sitting in an office or a clinical setting.

Adventure therapy Aleya Littleton, an adventure therapist based in Golden, uses a variety of experiences in nature as the backdrop for her therapy work.

“It’s using nature as your office and your co-therapist,” she said. “Nature herself creates a neutral and regulating space for us to be in while we’re feeling and talking about difficult things.”

Littleton’s work includes hikes at North Table Mountain, climbing at a nearby crag or even camping and backpacking. While her clients are pulling on their climbing harnesses or stopping to take in mountain views, they’re also talking about and addressing specific mental health concerns.

Littleton, who is a trained rock climbing guide, also takes out new and experienced climbers to work on things like fear and body autonomy.

“What happens when you climb is you have to refine and renegotiate your relationship with your body, with the rock and with other people,” she said. “You get to learn about yourself with a constant, neutral backdrop.”

One of her priorities during these excursions is to allow the climbers to make their own decisions about whether they want to push forward or come down.

“We celebrate choice and people who are learning to listen to their body,” she said. “It’s not about the actual climbing, it’s about you being good to you and making wise decisions for you.”

Littleton points out that from the research she’s seen, adventure therapy is equally as effective as traditional forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, but for some people it’s just a better fit.

“What makes the difference is that relationship with the therapist,” she said. “And your belief that it’s going to work.”

Forest bathing When Sandy Troyano tells new clients about her work in forest bath-

ing, they often picture something involving a swimsuit.

The reality of the practice is far from that, however.

Instead of diving into a body of water, when Troyano, an Evergreen resident, meets with a client or group of clients, she walks them through a series of sensory-opening exercises followed by a long, slow walk through the forest.

“There’s a saying that the guide opens the door, but the forest actually does the work,” Troyano said.

The practice comes from a Japanese concept called shinrinyoku, which literally translates to “forest bathing.” The sessions have an approach that’s similar to meditation, with exercises intended on opening up clients’ senses through slow, deliberate walks in nature and a focus on the present moment.

Troyano begins her sessions — which can be one-on-one, groups or couples — with a type of sensoryfocused, guided meditation that includes feeling the textures of the earth, noticing smells in the air and deeply listening to sounds both near and far away.

“The next step is take a small walk, a slow walk and notice everything that’s moving around you,” she said.

Then, she invites the forest bathers to find places to sit still for about 15 minutes each, observing the world around them. The process takes about two and a half hours.

“It’s really about putting yourself into the present moment,” she said.

Troyano has worked with clients who are grieving or dealing with mental health concerns such as depression and anxiety. But she believes everyone can benefit from the practice, she said.

Ancient Egypt beckons at DMNS

A

s Barbara Bridges, founder of Denver Film’s Women+Film program explains, a festival curator is a bit of a matchmaker.

“You have audiences and these great movies,” she said. “And we say they should meet.”

For the first time in two years, audiences can meet some of the best films by and about women in an actual theater as part of the 13th Annual Women+Film Festival, which runs from Tuesday, April 5 through Sunday, April 10 at the Sie FilmCenter, 2510 E. Colfax Ave. in Denver.

The event kicks off with a presentation of National Geographic Documentary Films’ “Fire of Love,” which tells the story of a married couple and volcano enthusiasts, Katia and Maurice Krafft.

And it wraps up with “Charlotte,” which introduces audiences to Charlotte Salomon, a young German-Jewish painter who grew up in Berlin at the beginning of World War II. Featuring the voice work of Kiera Knightley and Marion Cotillard, it’s another unique and powerful love story.

“What Charlotte created with her `Life? or Theater?’ work ended up being the first graphic novel,” said Matt Campbell, Denver Film artistic director. “We love showcasing strong, powerful biopics that give voice to women that haven’t had their due or women who should be celebrated more.”

In between those bookends, the festival will screen films like Holly Morris’ “Exposure,” which follows

a Muslim chaplain, French biologist, Qatari princess and eight other women from the Arab World and the West who explore the North Pole, and Mariano Cattaneo’s “The Strangest Girl in the World,” a Spanish family film about a 15-year-old Clarke Reader with a vivid imagination and whose drawings come to life.

As a regular Denver Film event, attendees know that in addition to the screenings there will also be discussions with filmmakers and other events to bond cinephiles over their favorite art form.

“Part of a film festival is having the opportunity for filmmakers to interact with audiences and have a dialogue and conversation,” Campbell said. “To create a connection between people and spark thought is what we’re trying to do.”

If audiences can come away from a film having enjoyed what they saw on the screen and gained a little understanding for those around them, then the festival will have achieved its ends, Bridges added.

“Powerful women and interesting stories are what we like to provide to the audience,” she said.

“I hope audiences learn about the world and are inspired by these incredible women and empathize with these incredible stories.

Even if they’re so different, there’s something within these

lives we can connect with.”

therapy, the programs were typically nomadic backpacking trips accompanied by clinical support.

The clients were often teens or young adults with substance abuse problems or lifestyle issues.

Now, his work includes more consultations for those interested in trying out “solos,” where they spend extended time alone in the outdoors as a way to treat mental health concerns.

“We spend so much time with machines that we think that we are machines now,” he said. “But really, we are a part of nature.”

Riske, who is a therapist originally based in Arvada but currently living in Costa Rica,

meets virtually with clients to help them set up their own wilderness therapy experience.

Often, his clients will search for an isolated area and camp there for up to 72 hours.

He recommends journaling prompts, symbolic ceremonies and books for them to engage with during their time alone.

“If you get bored, look closer,” he said he advises people. “Find the trail of ants, the different kinds of soil.”

Riske usually advises clients to slowly work their way up to spending more time alone outside and ensures that the client is comfortable with safety precautions.

Troyano, who is a certified nature and forest therapy guide, said the mindfulness practice also helps clients become more in tune to the nature around them even when they’re not in the forest.

“Once you open your senses, you start noticing more,” she said.

“More comes into you.”

The power of persistence with the Lakewood Symphony The Lakewood Symphony Orchestra will perform their “Persistence is the Key” concert at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 14 at the Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Parkway. The program will feature Verdi’s “Nabucco Overture,” Bizet’s Selection from “Carmen,” and Grieg’s “Symphonic Dances, Op. 64.”

Verdi’s “Nabucco Overture” features selections from the opera of the same name, along with orchestration and brass chorales.

“Carmen” by Bizet is one of the most well-known and recognizable pieces of music ever written, so audience members of all ages might recognize it. And finally, Grieg’s “Symphonic Dances,” highlight his persistent use of Norwegian folk music.

Tickets and information for this show can be found at www.lakewoodsymphony.org.

Have a creative conversation with Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy Explaining the creative process is a ridiculously challenging proposition, but Jeff Tweedy — the founder and leader of Wilco - does about a good of it as anyone. In his two bestselling books — “Let’s Go (So We Can Get Back)” and “How To Write One Song” — he humanely and humorously discusses how his life and experiences inform his

writing.

In a rare opportunity, fans can hear from the artist directly at A Conversation with Jeff Tweedy at the Paramount Theatre, 1621 Glenarm Place in Denver, at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 7. The event will feature comedian and actor John Hodgman chatting with Tweedy about his work and then will be opened up to the audience for conversation and a Q&A session.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Charli XCX at the Ogden Theatre Thank heavens for the English.

While we wait for new works from our pop queens Carly Rae Jepsen and Taylor Swift, across the pond Adele and Dua Lipa are keeping us feeling things. And now we have “Crash,” the latest offering from Charli XCX to soundtrack the spring and summer. The album is another sparkling collection of club-ready bangers but - and here’s Charli’s superpower - she’s also capable of tracks that sound fantastic through headphones.

In support of the record, she’s stopping by the Ogden Theatre, 935 E. Colfax Ave., at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 6. She’ll be joined

by Atlanta rapper Baby Tate. Get tickets at www.ogdentheatre.com/ events/detail/416660.

Clarke Reader’s column on culture appears on a weekly basis. He can be reached at Clarke.Reader@hotmail. com.

Often, clients will report that during the first 24 hours alone, they remained busy with their assigned activities along with setting up camp and eating. After 48 hours, some say they feel good but somewhat exhausted from their thoughts, he said. Many of those who remain for 72 hours, though, say they reach a blissful, relaxing state.

In the past, he’s also led group backpacking trips with therapy intertwined and solo therapy meetings in the outdoors.

“People are certainly more interested in that kind of experience,” he said. “And in Colorado, you just head straight up into the foothills.”

CHESS FROM PAGE 11

thinking,” he says, explaining why he chose to undergo the operation. “I don’t want to stop playing chess — chess is part of my life.”

O’Neill continues to be amazed by how Griffin has approached not only the recurring seizures, but also the major surgeries — “and having half the brain removed” — while still achieving all that he has in the game of chess.

“He’s just an amazing kid, and they’re an amazing family,” he says. “I remember as we were debating about trying to do the first hemispherectomy, talking about all the things he’d lose, including function of his right side. At one point, he took a pen in his left hand, and started writing his name. He was like, ‘All right. I can figure that out. I can make this work.’

“He’s been such a determined guy.”

A second major surgery – and recovery After the February 2021 surgery, Griffin battled through a difficult 15-day hospital stay in which recovery taxed him physically. He lost 10 pounds.

But within a week or two of returning home, it became obvious that he was thinking and — just as key in Griffin’s mind — speaking more clearly.

“Right about a few days after I

|

got home I was like, ‘I can do it.

I can still do it,’” he says. “I was talking like I normally do to my family and was just so happy I made this decision. I hope — and this is always something to kind of pray for — that I don’t have seizures again.”

There are no more surgical options if the seizures return, O’Neill notes, though there are newer but largely untested technologies available.

Less than two weeks after returning home, Griffin played a little online chess to prepare and then entered the 2021 state scholastic tournament. He admits the very idea of playing competitive chess so soon after his surgery was “insane.”

In a later round, he found himself across the board from his younger brother. He and Sullivan are close but competitive, quick with a jab when the opportunity arises. Griffin has gained more attention through media interviews and, shortly before his latest surgery, a minidocumentary called “Griffin’s Gambit.” But Sullivan’s pride in his older brother’s accomplishments shines through.

For about the past year and a half, they’ve agreed to what’s known as a “grandmaster draw” — an accommodation often seen among professional players — when they’ve faced each other in tournament play.

And so Sullivan sacrificed a chance at yet another state title when he agreed to a draw and finished third, with Griffin

fourth. Understanding that his brother hadn’t returned to top form so soon after his surgery, Sullivan knew any victory would feel hollow.

“If I had just decided to beat my half-brain, very tired, depressed brother then I would have won state again,” he says, shifting to battle mode, while Griffin nods and laughs. But then Sullivan turns serious.

“Based on his mindset going in, I remember him telling me, ‘I just want to win a game. I just want to know that I can still play chess again.’ And seeing him even at his lowest being able to do that was good to see.”

“I was proud of myself for trying,” Griffin says, “but after that tournament, then it was recovery time. It was more about resting and getting better.”

Griffin ventured back out to more tournaments last June, playing in one every month or two, and held his own, maintaining a point rating of around 2000. But he still wasn’t near the top of his game. Since December, though, his rating has spiked almost 200 points — a rise his father describes as almost unheard of in such a short span.

“What happens sometimes in chess is that everyone hits a plateau — and that’s in any sport,” Griffin says. “But then there’s one thing where you just — it clicks. I studied, and that helped.

But it was more that I was actually doing it. I was actually winning these positions and not messing up at the end.”

It didn’t hurt that he put in the work to get there. He generally spends four hours a day studying to improve his game. Somewhere along that timeline — and he’s not sure precisely where — things started to fall into place.

A little more than a year after his disappointing return to play at the state scholastic tournament, Griffin once again wound up sitting across from Sullivan in the final game of the 2022 event a few weeks ago — with the championship on the line.

Griffin had five wins to his credit and could win the tournament with either a win or a draw.

Sullivan, who already had played one earlier game to a draw, needed a win to capture a sixth title.

This time, he decided to go for it.

“So part of me is thinking, ‘You know what, I should just beat him,’” Sullivan says. “So I decided to play something offbeat that he didn’t know. And then we got to this endgame.

Griffin’s pretty good at endgames.”

Closing out his opponent had been Griffin’s hallmark when he wasn’t battling seizures, and this tie he was on his game. Sullivan suddenly realized he had blundered. Outflanked by his brother, he offered a draw. Griffin accepted and became the 2022 state scholastic champion in his final year of eligibility.

“It felt pretty amazing,” Griffin says. “I had really no expectations whatsoever, so when I won, I didn’t believe it.”

Despite failing to win a title for

the first time in seven years of statewide tournaments, Sullivan was proud of his brother. “I felt like, ‘Great news, he’s gone next year,” he jokes. “That’s the funny answer. But I was just happy that he got a first.”

Three tournaments after the state scholastic competition, Griffin improved his rating to 2204 — pushing past his frustrating plateau and earning national master status. He’s now just 40 points behind Sullivan.

Scheduled to graduate high school this spring, Griffin hasn’t decided whether to attend college or pursue a chess career.

But the higher his rating, the better positioned he’ll be to find a potential job niche within the game.

“Griffin is going to make his living through chess,” figures Kevin, “and that’s such a blessing.”

Although virtually all of Griffin’s chess experience has been in open competition, he understands that he’s in a position, as a result of his challenges with epileptic seizures, to help grow the game among people with disabilities. It’s a passion he shares with his dad, and together they formed the nonprofit ChessAbilities Inc. with the goal of raising money and awareness of chess opportunities — and then creating more opportunities through tournaments geared toward children with disabilities.

ChessAbilities will host its first tournament for players under 20 with disabilities from the U.S., Canada and Mexico June 2126 at a hotel in the Denver Tech Center. The event, in partnership with Chess.com and ChessKid. com, rewards winners of the older age divisions with college scholarships, but also offers free workshops by two grandmasters.

“I want to make a difference in the chess community,” Griffin says. “And because of my disability, I can maybe be an inspiration, to show that any kind of disability, no matter what, you can play chess and you can do it well.”

Griffin and Sullivan also have converted a portion of their basement to a makeshift studio, where they plan to create chess content to stream on the Twitch video streaming platform. But rather than simply talk strategy, they hope to appeal to a broader audience by adding some creative flair, like introducing fictional characters and storylines.

Meanwhile, Griffin McConnell’s reality show plays on, with the uncertainty of his last major surgery behind him and a hopefilled future ahead.

“I feel grateful,” Griffin says.

“I made that choice because I want to have the fullest life, to be happy in life. Sometimes I don’t know how I’m so lucky.”

Relishing a Colorado landmark The iconic Coney Island Boardwalk is getting ready to go on sale

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The 42 foot long, 18 ton hot dog known as the Coney Island Boardwalk now sits up the hill in Bailey, waiting for a new owner to return it to its former glory.

The structure originally was built on West Colfax Avenue in 1966.

The first owner, Marcus Shannon, had dreams of the hot dog shaped building becoming a cornerstone of American eateries, envisioning a national chain.

News articles from the 1966 Denver Post, provided by Colfax Avenue History Museum, told of the 25 cent hot dogs, special menu and 40 car parking lot the site would boast.

After the production of the first restaurant however, the company went under. This was after the president of Boardwalk Coney Island Inc. said he expected to take over Denver in 14 months with the business, and continue to succeed from coast to coast. The singular location managed to stay open for three years.

The cost to build the hot dog was $26,000.

Colfax historian and museum curator Jonny Barber said that roadside attractions like the coney were part of the history of the area.

“So much of that roadside Colfax weirdness is gone,” he said.

Where did it go? Well, the entire 18 ton hot dog was put on a trailer and hauled up to Aspen Park along Highway 285 in 1970. There, it took on the name Coney Island Dairy Land (and subsequently dropped the last part of the name.) In its new home, the coney resumed business, changing hands multiple times throughout the years. On its last day open in Aspen Park, the line for the restaurant allegedly went on for miles.

The bun did not stop there. In 2006, it moved again, this time to its current location in Bailey, near Pike

“We used to go to it when I was in high school,” Nortnick said.

Not only that, but Nortnick’s uncle was on the original crew that built the hot dog itself. Nortnick dispelled any rumors, and explained that the coney is in fact built from the ground up with stucco and is not built on an Airstream trailer like some may think.

Nortnick retold the story his uncle told about how the workers on the coney got paid.

“He was hired to help build this first hot dog, which was at some point going to be a chain of hot dogs. The foreman on the crew said, ‘You have two choices, we can pay you hourly or you can wait to have stock options for this chain that will probably explode.’ My uncle chose SEE LANDMARK, P21

Colorado has recovered 98% of jobs lost in pandemic Unemployment rate drops to 4.1%

BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado’s economic recovery is going better than expected state labor officials said Monday, reporting that 98% of jobs lost when COVID struck have returned.

However, January’s 4.1% unemployment rate, the lowest since the pandemic began, is still higher than the 2.8% in February 2020, the month before the first COVID-19 cases in Colorado were confirmed.

“That was historically low. That was after the end of a very long economic expansion,” Ryan Gedney, senior labor economist at the state Department of Labor and Employment, said during a news conference on Monday. “As long as these trends hold … I could see the state reaching that 3% level in one or two years for sure.”

His confidence is based on how many Coloradans are now part of the state’s labor force, which is larger than ever with more people employed or looking for work. The state’s labor force participation rate was 68.5% in January, or one-tenth of a percentage point higher than in February 2020.

“Colorado’s labor force grew by over 17,000 in January. And since July of 2020 the state has added over 180,000 individuals to the labor force,” Gedney said. “On an annual basis, Colorado’s labor force participation rate increased from 67.4% in 2020 to 68.2% in 2021. That ranked as the fourth highest in the U.S. last year.”

By comparison, the U.S. rate last year was 61.7%.

While more people are part of the state’s labor force, Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows there are still around 132,000 Coloradans who are unemployed, compared with 86,000 who were unemployed in February 2020.

That only counts people who are working or actively looking for a job, said Steven Byers, a senior economist for Common Sense Institute, a Greenwood Village think tank focused on the state’s fiscal policies.

“Some people would say that understates or overstates the true unemployment rate depending on which way you go,” Byers said.

“But when people take themselves out of the labor force and they’re no longer looking, that impacts those numbers. But the way that unemployment is measured has been constant for a long time. They

don’t change the methodology so it’s consistent over time for what it measures.”

The state’s unemployment rate fell from 4.2% in December, a rate that was revised downward from 4.8%, according to labor officials.

Colorado’s January rate is also close to the U.S. unemployment rate of 4.0% in January.

The falling unemployment rate reflects more people returning to work, especially mothers who had dropped out of the workforce early on, likely to deal with their children and remote schooling or lack of child care options during the pandemic.

Byers is among economists keeping an eye on rising inflation and its impact on small businesses and consumer spending habits.

“One other thing that we are kind of concerned about, though, is the house prices have just gotten exorbitant,” he said. “The question would be, is it just going to end up being a disadvantage to Colorado employers being able to lure people here and bring them in from out of state? That’s an area that is of concern as well.”

But Colorado’s pandemic economy hasn’t fully recovered yet, said Kathy A. White, executive director of Colorado Fiscal Institute, an organization that also focuses on fiscal policy.

“Colorado has recovered all but 5,500 jobs lost during the pandemic, but it needs another 38,100 jobs in order to keep up with the 1.4% growth in population that the state has experienced in the 23 months since the recession began,” White said in an email.

“Also, the fastest job recovery hap-

pened in industries with high income earners and lagged in industries with lower pay. poor quality jobs,” she added. “Those industries tend to have a higher percentage of women and people of color, who again, entered the pandemic with higher rates of unemployment and lower earnings. In short, the recovery has been uneven, despite these broad indicators, and so policymakers should be targeting resources and aid to the people who need it the most.”

There’s also uneven recovery in certain parts of the state. Strong job growth in Grand Junction and Colorado Springs amounted to job recovery rates of 124% and 113%, respectively. But the Greeley region has recovered just 44% of the jobs lost in the early pandemic.

That’s due to Greeley’s high concentration of oil and gas, an industry that hasn’t recovered as fast as the leisure and hospitality industry or the professional and business services field, Gedney said. But Greeley’s a small part of the state. It lost roughly 11,700 jobs at the start of the pandemic and has regained 5,100. The Denver area lost 199,600 and has recovered 196,100.

“The state’s recovery rate is going to trend pretty closely with Denver’s, as that (region) represents over half of the state’s employment,” Gedney said.

He added, “There’s still some room in the unemployment rate, but I think the unemployment rate is going to drop relatively quickly in 2022 as there’s still a huge demand for labor and for filling jobs.”

Dangerous materials used in firefighting foam are showing up in drinking water, soil

t r o b

Lawmakers to address ‘forever chemicals’

i B b w h

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

The sale of many products containing the dangerous “forever chemicals” known as PFAS would be banned in Colorado as early as 2024, under legislation recently introduced and backed by a host of consumer and environmental groups.

Toxic PFAS chemicals, used as lubricants and repellants in products ranging from firefighting foam to clothing and cooking utensils, leak into groundwater and have been found in drinking water supplies in Colorado and across the country.

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser recently joined multiple states in suing the chemical manufacturers for decades of contamination that is proving exorbitantly expensive for state health departments and local water agencies to clean up.

“We know these things are dangerous for our health. We know they are forever chemicals that are poisoning our water supply,” said Danny Katz, executive director of the nonprofit consumer group CoPIRG, in welcoming the bipartisan bill.

“We need to act now to phase out as many of them as possible to protect our health and protect Colorado’s water.”

The first sale ban would begin Jan. 1, 2024, for products with PFAS intentionally added in these categories: Carpets or rugs; cookware; cosmetics; fabric treatments; food packaging; juvenile products, oil and gas products; and textile furnishings. Through 2030, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment would be charged with identifying more categories of goods, and those would be added to the banned list.

“I’d rather do the right thing, as quickly as possible,” said

Rep. Lisa Cutter, a Littleton Democrat who is one of the bill’s prime sponsors. “But because there are manufacturers and companies that have been using these products, we’re trying to allow a reasonable offramp.”

The earliest categories are in businesses where alternatives to PFAS are already being developed, sponsors said.

Colorado may have the largest number of sites in the nation that have handled PFAS chemicals, due to firefighting drills and operations at military installations, mountain wildland firefighting, and from PFAS chemicals in firefighting and other industrial materials at oil and gas exploration sites.

About 21,000 industrial sites in Colorado appear on the previously undisclosed EPA database of locations that “may be han-

dling” PFAS, with more than 85% of those places related to oil and gas, and heavy concentrations of possible locations at the industry’s core in Weld County, according to Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, which forced EPA to release the data.

The same properties that make PFAS a lubricant or seal cookware also make them resistant to long-term impacts of heat or water, conferring the moniker “forever chemicals.” CoPIRG and others say the chemicals have entered Colorado waterways and “polluted communities like Fountain, Frisco, parts of Denver, South Evergreen and Golden,” threatening serious health impacts.

State health officials have launched a buyback program taking firefighting foam containing PFAS off the hands of local fire departments and replacing them with alternatives.

Consumer and environmental protection groups want the federal EPA to move faster to set absolute drinking water standards to force PFAS cleanups. Colorado’s Department of Public Health and Environment

moved deeper into PFAS regulation when it demanded more i monitoring of the chemicals i coming off the Suncor Energy refinery in Commerce City.

Colorado will, for the first time, monitor and limit runoff of PFAS at Suncor as part of the draft of the company’s water quality permit unveiled in November.

Regulators and consumers are finding out how ubiquitous PFAS chemicals are throughout industry and consumer goods, Katz said.

“We’ve targeted mostly firefighting foam in the past, but this bill will also get at a number of consumer products including things like carpets and rugs, furniture, cosmetics, food packaging, and even things like dental floss,” he said. “We want to phase those out.”

The Coney Island Boardwalk has garnered media attention for years, being featured in national news publications like the New York Post, a documentary called “A Hot Dog Program” and perhaps most notably, in multiple episodes of the South Park TV show, most recently in an episode aired in February 2022.

For now, Aigner and Nortnick are working to repair the roof, stucco, boardwalk and other issues with the building. Once they get the Coney Island Boardwalk back in shape, they hope to find a suitable buyer, even entertaining the idea of the South Park creators getting involved like they did with Casa Bonita in Lakewood.

Currently, Nortnick’s gallery is right next to the Coney Island Boardwalk. He recalled times of booming success for the restaurant, which led to great engagement at his business.

“We want somebody to come on board who loves it as much as we do, we want somebody to return it to its heyday,” he said.

Greg Aigner is currently working with Nortnick to repair the coney and get it ready to sell. He too has memories of going to the restaurant back when it was in Aspen Park.

“I passed by it all the time….I drove by it many many times. I stopped one time, it wasn’t very crowded. I remember looking out the back, and it was basically a hot dog stand on a dirt path,” he said.

Aigner’s brother is the current owner of the property, but as his conservator Greg is taking on the responsibilities for the maintenance and sale.

“The plan is to sell the coney to an appropriate owner,” he said.

Barber too has visited the coney, and notes that perhaps the most important part of the place is the experience of going.

Colorado parks are full and getting fuller How will the state decide who gets in, and who gets hurt?

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

If anybody could work the system and get access to wildly popular open space this summer, you’d think Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commissioner Taishya Adams would have a good shot.

But there she is, just like everyone else, penciling early March on her planner as the day she can first swing sharp elbows online to get summer group backpacking reservations at Rocky Mountain National Park, not far from her home in Boulder.

“I’ve had it marked in my calendar for six months,” Adams told her fellow commissioners last week. She endorsed a new timed entry proposal for Eldorado Canyon State Park, where overflowing parking lots on weekends back up onto lawns in the little town of Eldorado Springs.

But she added a warning message: Intergenerational families love the big picnic areas at Eldorado and other state parks.

They come in more than one car.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife says state parks closest to the Front Range, including Staunton State Park southwest of Denver, which opened in 2013, are being loved to death, as people seek quick access to wild and scenic areas, such as Elk Falls.

Managing crowds by managing cars should not shut out diverse

uses of state open space.

“I would hate to see that become a barrier,” Adams said.

Up, up and away Everyone agrees Colorado’s open spaces are growing alarmingly crowded on popular days.

The numbers are startling.

Visitation at close-in Front Range state parks has doubled or nearly tripled. Sprawling Lake Pueblo had to turn away cars for the first time in 2020, the year it passed 3 million visitors. Jefferson County Open Space does not have gated entry for counting, but believes visitation to its 28 foothills gems passed 7 million last year.

Staunton State Park near Conifer rocketed from 89,000 in 2015 to 277,000 in 2020. Barr Lake in Brighton, a hit with birders and flatland bikers, went from 119,000 in 2015 to 258,000 in 2020, before settling back a bit with indoor pandemic restrictions easing in 2021. Open space officials expect use to keep climbing rapidly, if not quite as steeply as in the first year of the pandemic.

Made with Flourish A Center for Western Priorities study of reservable camping spaces at federal and local public lands showed more than 95% of sites were taken at peak periods, with an overall 39% increase in summer camping at public spaces.

And the state parks commission may have just opened the gates on a new flood — the annual Keep Colorado Wild state parks pass will be only $29 in 2023, tacked on to annual car registration with an option to

decline it, less than half the current $80 fee for one car.

Need to find a better solution than first come, first served Open space managers across the West are scrambling to accommodate the growth without provoking a public backlash against new rules. Mandatory shuttles from remote lots, parking fee add-ons, timed entry, seasonal trail closures for wildlife protection, and extra fees for non-residents are all under consideration in every parksrelated office.

“You do have to be ready to say OK, first come, first served doesn’t work if you have an entrance line that’s a half mile long every day,” said Aaron Weiss, deputy director of the nonprofit Center for Western Priorities, which advocates for expanded public lands and more parks funding. “We have to find a better solution.”

The answer can’t just be forcing everyone to online reservation systems or discouragingly high fees, Weiss and others say.

The fix has to include more open land, they argue, including the Biden administration’s executive order seeking to protect 30% of U.S. land and water by 2030.

“Increased use of state and federal lands is a good thing, and the solution isn’t to curtail access, but rather increase it by conserving more land and removing barriers to entry from those who feel excluded or unable to access the outdoors,” said Jackie Ostfeld, director of Sierra Club’s Outdoors for All SEE PARKS, P24

Democrats push abortion bill through Gov. Jared Polis agreed to sign into law

Abortion access wouldn’t be immediately affected in Colorado if Roe v. Wade is overturned, but abortion rights advocates warn there could still be threats.

The concern among abortion rights groups is that conservative Colorado counties or municipalities could try to pass local measures banning or significantly limiting abortion access. Without the protections in Roe v. Wade, those local measures may not be challengeable in court without the passage of affirmative abortion-access legislation at the Capitol.

But because House Bill 1279 changes only state law, Republicans would still be able to introduce bills and ballot measures seeking to limit abortion access.

Only a constitutional amendment, which would require approval by 55% of voters, could more permanently settle the question.

Colorado voters have consistently rejected ballot measures seeking to restrict abortion access.

Abortion rights groups are considering whether to pursue a ballot measure in 2024 enshrining abortion access in Colorado’s constitution.

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Democrats in the state legislature on March 23 sent Gov. Jared Polis a bill affirming access to abortion and contraception in Colorado.

After the vote, Polis said he will sign the measure, House Bill 1279, into law.

The legislation passed the Senate on a 20-15, party-line vote after it was debated on the floor for about 13 hours on March 22 and then more than two hours on March 23 as Republicans fought the measure’s passage.

The bill was debated in the House earlier this month for 24 consecutive hours in what was one of the longest debates in the legislature’s history.

Democrats introduced the legislation in response to questions about the future of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision protecting the right to an abortion without excessive government restriction. The court could overturn the precedent in the coming months in a ruling in a case out of Mississippi, potentially opening the door for abortion restrictions in Colorado at the county or municipal level.

Colorado, which in 1967 became the first state to loosen its abortion laws, is among the states with the fewest abortion restrictions in the nation.

campaign.

“The threat of overuse poses in these small spots, and it is a legitimate threat, is miniscule compared to the threat posed by development,” Weiss said.

jockeying and the turned-away cars, from Pueblo to Roxborough, are altering the way Coloradans use — or try to use — the great outdoors.

About 58% of Coloradans said crowding in the last two to three years has changed where and how they recreate, according to this year’s annual State of the Rockies Project poll of Western states by Colorado College and New Bridge Strategy. The aver-

age across all eight Western states polled was 48% changing their time and location of outdoor recreation.

Larimer County hiker Suzy Paquette said she understands the need for control experiments like timed entry, but added that the online regimen started at Rocky Mountain National Park last year did change how she and her husband get outdoors.

mer, the national park passes are “gone like lickety split,” she said. “So that’s one of the problems, you can’t just say ‘Oh, let’s go to the park today.’”

places like Barr Lake, St. Vrain, Boyd Lake and county parks. He feels he’s lost his own “solace” in the crowded parking lots and packed trails, but worries more about the birds.

“These days, most of my walks on the trails where we live are at dusk or in the evening,” Bove said. He can choose to walk later, but he said, “wildlife is not so fortunate, as they have already moved away or been displaced from the ever increasing human traffic.”

The outdoors are turning into an overcrowded theme park Pueblo is proud that people come from all over to boat on Lake Pueblo, swim at Rock Canyon, or mountain bike on dozens of miles of trails, said Jamie Valdez, who has led mountain bike classes at the state park.

Pueblo gets less snow, and the warm winter sunshine attracts recreation from multiple states, he said.

Valdez has his eye now on the city’s Pueblo Mountain Park, with its own hiking trails in the foothills southwest of town sitting as a hidden gem. “It’s a beautiful, beautiful park, and it seems to be almost forgotten,” he said.

The nonprofit Boulder Climbing Community weighed in early on the proposed changes to how

Eldorado Canyon is managed, knowing many of its members go dozens of times a year and count on driving, rolling or striding in just a few minutes after class or work.

To their credit, Boulder County and the state have consulted closely with climbers on improving the shuttle to the park and making sure timed car passes aren’t hoarded or sold, said Boulder Climbing Community executive director Kate Beezley. The shuttles have spaces for climbers’ crash pads and other gear.

Robert Fix of Westminster and Mike Wright of Boulder prepare to go climbing at Eldorado Canyon State Park in Eldorado Springs on March 4. (Olivia Sun, The Colorado Sun via Report for America) Robert Fix of Westminster and Mike Wright of Boulder prepare to go climbing on March 4, 2022, at Eldorado Canyon State Park in Eldorado Springs. (Olivia Sun, The Colorado Sun via Report for America) More controlled-entry rules for open space are inevitable, Beezley said, so parks managers need to make sure they consider all the user groups and keep things fair.

“Who is the primary user group? Who are your frequent flyers? And how can you help them maintain those patterns of their health and well-being?” she said.

Parks managers flinch when they think of the potential overuse coming to stunningly pictur-

esque, newly minted state parks like Sweetwater Lake in Garfield County, and Fishers Peak near Trinidad. Weiss, of the Center for Western Priorities, uses the word “harden” to describe how open space planners must anticipate the places a frenzied public will park, hike, build fires or camp, and create protections for those natural areas.

Marketing experts also must join in to help spread people out by showcasing alternatives to the closest, most Instagrammed locations, experts say.

Otherwise, Weiss said, the great outdoors becomes “this massive Disneyland problem that you end up with at Zion National Park, or at Chautauqua for that matter. There’s a lot to be said for making sure folks are aware, hey, there are equally great if not better experiences, because it’s less crowded.”

Angel’s Landing at Zion is one of Weiss’ favorite spots. But it’s no fun, he said, “If it looks like the line to ‘Pirates of the Caribbean.’”

Looking for other solutions So what else can be done? Scott Roush, who oversees some of the busiest Colorado state parks close to the Denver metro area, said park users should expect more experiments with timed entry like the one moving forward for Eldorado Canyon this summer.

Highline Lake State Park is a place managers worry about, he said. Parking lots fill fast on

weekends at the rare body of water in the high desert near Grand Junction. Without more parking controls, people leave their cars wherever they feel like it, just as at Eldorado Canyon, Roush said.

Jeffco Open Space is adding new parking spaces at Alderfer/ Three Sisters Park outside Evergreen, community connections director Matt Robbins said. That may head off “volunteer” parking. Jefferson County also puts stock in educating park users on simple, highly effective tips like staying on the trail even in mud season. Hikers sidestepping mud create “braiding” that turns single track into 4-foot-wide throughways, Robbins said.

Charging for parking or timed ticketing are tougher, Robbins said, because Jeffco does not have controlled entry at its 28 parks in the way national or state parks do. The county did try an experiment last year partnering with Lyft for $2.50 off rides to and from open space parks. It was a bust, Robbins said.

Federal, state and county cooperation is key to pulling off more successful management techniques, said Dan Gibbs, executive director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources. Gibbs lives in Breckenridge, where one of the busiest 14,000foot peaks in the state, Quandary, beckons from the south.

SPORTS Columbine sophomore heading to Augusta for national golf finals

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LITTLETON — Columbine sophomore Matai Naqica is going to have dinner this week with Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Tiger Woods.

Naqica, who helped Columbine’s boys golf team to the Class 5A Jeffco League title for the first time since 1977 last fall and placed third individually in conference play, qualified for the Drive, Chip & Putt National competition that will be held April 3 at Augusta National in Georgia.

The first PGA golf major of the year, The Masters Tournament, will be held at Augusta National the following week.

“I don’t even care what happens,” Columbine High School’s boys golf coach Cory Olsen said of the actual competition. “It’s a win before we even get on a plane to go down there. The opportunities we’ll have of meeting Jack Nicklaus, going to the clubhouse at Augusta and driving down Magnolia Lane. It’s awesome.”

There will be eight members of the Rebels’ golf program heading to Georgia at the end of this week.

Naqica, who started swinging a golf club at age 3 and starting playing tournament at the age of 8, will be in the spotlight with the event being televised live on ESPN. Naqica had attempted to qualify for the drive, chip and putt since 2015. This is the first time he had made it all the way to qualify for nationals in Georgia. It was also his last chance to qualify with the oldest age group being 14-15.

“The short game was a lot better than the past two years,” Naqica said of the key to make it to nationals this year. “I just really worked hard on my short game to get to this point.”

Naqica’s final hurdle to make nationals was winning the regional qualifier on Sept. 19 at Colorado

Golf Club. The sophomore racked up 163 points to win the boys 14-15 division and make the top-10 in his age group to qualify for nationals.

“I’m so excited to go,” Naqica said. “I want to put in the best effort I can to prepare for this because I really want to win.”

The sophomore isn’t nervous about playing at the historic venue and being in an event that will be on live television. Naqica says he will stick to his routine of meditation and practice a lot to get his confidence up heading into the event.

“Winning this was one of my biggest goals this year,” Naqica said. “I have a lot of big summer tournaments coming up. I feel like I need to focus on those as much as I’m focusing on (Drive, Chip & Putt Nationals).”

Olsen has actually been Naqica’s coach since the start of the Rebels’ golf standout career. Olsen met Naqica’s father before Matai was born.

“It’s pretty cool,” Olsen said of coaching Naqica for several years before high school. “Matai has kind of taught me that I might know a little bit about this whole coaching thing. He has encouraged me as much when it comes to coaching I hope as much as I have encouraged him as a player.”

Olsen will be Naqica’s caddie during the event coming up this weekend.

“We always stress the team aspect,” Olsen said. “For Matai to make something that I’ve been dreaming about and do it for his teammates and do it for the entire Columbine community is a big deal for us. The whole squad is going down there.”

Olsen isn’t worried about the results for Naqica at at home of The Masters. Having the upcoming experiences is the most important aspect to the trip.

“Matai has made the dream happen for all eight of us who are going

Columbine sophomore Matai Naqica will compete in the Drive, Chip & Putt National Finals at Augusta National in Georgia — home of The Masters Tournament — on Sunday, April 3. Naqica will be one of 10 trying to capture the 14-15 boys division title.

Jeff Gomer’s coaching legacy cemented at Ralston Valley Longtime girls basketball coach leaves with 351 wins over 19 years at Ralston Valley

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Jeff Gomer’s 19-year run coaching Ralston Vally High School’s girls basketball team ended with a Sweet 16 road loss to Cherry Creek on March 1.

“After 19 years it just felt like it was time,” said Gomer, who retired from full-time teaching at Ralston

Valley three years ago. “There were some days were it was tough to get here. Once I was here I was fine.”

The Mustangs’ girls basketball program was more than fine this season. Ralston Valley finished as the Class 5A Jeffco League runnerup for the fifth straight season racking up an 15-8 record, despite having just one senior—Colorado School of Mines commit Saya Sabus—on the team.

“We’ve got four starters coming back and a really good freshmen class coming in and another good class behind them,” said Gomer, who added he believes it is the best girls basketball job in Jeffco. “The program should be in good shape.

It’s in a good place for whoever is

going to come in.”

Gomer began his coaching career as a student-teacher at Lakewood High School back in 1980. He was an assistant boys coach for another legendary coach Ron Rossi. After Rossi retired from Jeffco Public Schools in the early 2000s, he moved onto Holy Family High School where he has guided the Tigers to six state girls basketball titles.

Gomer had a stop at Durango High School before heading back to Jeffco where he was the head girls basketball coach at Standley Lake High School for 10 years. Gomer took over Ralston Valley’s girls basketball program in the early 2000s.

“It’s a community team,” Gomer said of coaching at Ralston Valley

for nearly two decades. “We did get some transfers that helped us, but for the most part it was good kids with good work ethic.”

According to the CHSAA girls basketball records that was last updated in March 2019, Gomer had 422 coaching victories and 302 at Ralston Valley. Gomer grabbed 49 more wins over his final three seasons coaching the Mustangs.

His final total wins would put him at 471 all-time and 351 at Ralston Valley. That puts Gomer in the top-5 for both all-time girls basketball coaching wins in Colorado and alltime girls basketball coaching wins at one school.

Jeff Gomer spent more than 40 years coaching high school basketball from an assistant boys coach at Lakewood High School in the early 1980s to guiding Standley Lake High School’s girls program in the 1990s to making Ralston Valley’s girls basketball program a top-10 program during his 19-year run with the Mustangs.

FROM PAGE 26

Gomer has more victories that any other girls basketball coach in Jeffco history. The closest is Bob Hicks who had 325 wins at Pomona (1979-1998).

“I felt consistently we were a top10 team in the state,” Gomer said.

“Every year were are competitive.”

Ralston Valley won five Class 5A Jeffco League titles during Gomer’s 19-year tenure with the Mustangs.

Ralston Valley had a string of four conference titles in the span of five years from 2009 to 2013.

“Over the first 14 years we never had a player over 6-foot or a Division I player,” Gomer said. “Our best kid (Ashley Van Sickle) here when to Montana State. We had good players and luckily we had a lot of them so we could compete.”

Ralston Valley’s last league title came in 2017. The Mustangs had one Final Four appearance and a number teams advance to the Elite 8.

“The majority of the years we got everything we could out of our girls,” Gomer said. “This year was a great and fun group. It was a good way to go out. They were nice kids.

They got along. I was able to leave with a good taste in my mouth.”

Gomer did leave the door open to returning to coaching sometime down the road.

“I may get back into it,” Gomer admitted. “If I did it would be to build something. I don’t see myself getting back into it right now, but once December comes around… games are always fun.”

Jerry DiTullio Jefferson County Treasurer Legal Notice No. 413594 First Publication MARCH 31, 2022 Final Publication APRIL 14, 2022 Publisher: Golden Transcript PUBLIC NOTICE To: First Mortgagees of Lots in the Westgate Square Townhomes Association, Inc. Date: MARCH 31, 2022 Re: Notice of Proposed Declaration Amendment The purpose of this notice is to provide written notice of the proposed Amended and Restated Condominium Declaration for Westgate Square Townhomes (“Declaration Amendment”) to first mortgagees of the units within the community of the Westgate Square Townhomes Association, Inc. (“Association”), pursuant to C.R.S. § 38-33.3217(1)(b)(I). The Association, through its Board of Directors and with assistance from legal counsel, has prepared the proposed Declaration Amendment to the existing Condominium Declaration for Westgate Square Townhomes, which is located in the County of Jefferson, State of Colorado, and was recorded in the real property records of the County of Jefferson, Colorado on January 6, 1972, at Reception No. 464374, as it may have been amended and supplemented from time to time (“Declaration”).

The consent of sixty percent (60%) of first mortgagees is required to approve the proposed Declaration Amendment, pursuant to Paragraph 18 of the Declaration. The general purpose and nature of the Declaration Amendment is to: (1) include stronger covenants prohibiting nuisances and supporting the existing rules and regulations regarding, for example, parking and pets; (2) include a much more complete list of items, and explains in detail whether Owners or the Association are responsible for maintaining and repairing them; (3) require Owners to carry insurance covering their personal property in their units, require their insurance to cover any deductibles and any special assessment resulting from an insured loss, which will help avoid gaps in coverage and help keep all Owners from subsidizing repairs for Owners who failed to obtain insurance; (4) include common sense limits on leasing, and clarifies the responsibilities of landlords and tenants. For example, all leases must be for at least 6 months.

No units may be used as a hotel (e.g., AirBnb or VRBO) or for transient purposes or for timeshares.

A first mortgagee shall be deemed to have approved the proposed Declaration Amendment, if said first mortgagee does not deliver to the Association a negative response within sixty (60) days after the date of this notice, pursuant to C.R.S. § 38-33.3-217(1)(b)(II). You may deliver your response in writing to the Association, c/o Moeller Graf, P.C., 385 Inverness Pkwy., Suite 200, Englewood, CO 80112, but you are not required to respond.

Please review this notice carefully. It may affect first mortgagees’ rights in the Lot(s) within the Association’s community in which first mortgagees may have an interest.

A copy of the proposed Declaration Amendment may be obtained by contacting Moeller Graf, P.C., at 720-279-2568 or via email at bahmeti@moellergraf.com.

PARKS FROM PAGE 25

implement a reservation system for county-owned lots at Quandary’s base, and a shuttle system for remote parking areas.

“In these high-usage areas, I think that’s going to be the future, whether it’s on state lands or federal lands,” Gibbs said.

Roush said some state parks planners are interested in trying technology aids like Lot Spot, a smartphone app that Jeffco uses to provide real time updates on park crowding and can recommend a nearby alternative. State parks are much more spread out, though, than county open space, and alternate choices may not be practical.

The public appears to be adapting to shuttle use as a way to control car overcrowding, and park planners have noticed.

Eldorado’s shuttle system will run again in 2022. Shuttles to Rocky Mountain National Park’s Bear Lake are now an essential part of park operations.

Buses now operate to control entry to Maroon Bells and Hanging Lake. Expect more.

“Do we have an actual number-of-people problem, or do we have a number-of-cars problem?

Because there are different solutions there,” Weiss said. “And shuttles are of course part of that.”

Another part could be other public transportation, added Weiss, who lives in Jefferson County. “Here, there are no RTD routes that get you to open spaces. That’s a problem.”

Open space managers at all levels of government are doing a better job consulting with each other and with private businesses expert in usage information and technology aids, said Tate Watkins, a research fellow at Montana’s free market oriented Property and Environment Research Center.

Reservation systems at Arches and Rocky Mountain national parks are closely watched by state and county parks managers, Watkins said. Technology companies can offer ideas on counting parking space use, “frequent flyer” perks, and integrating real-time crowding information on apps that can spread out park visitors.

Backcountry users of Great Smoky Mountains National Park — which saw 14.1 million visitors in 2021 — initially balked years ago at implementing a $4 reservation fee for remote camping spots, Watkins noted. Now they think it’s a bargain, and are relieved to know

there’s a spot open for them at the end of their day.

“There’s just an infinite amount of creativity and opportunity for experiment,” he said.

Open for all Open space fans and park managers worry that new layers of control and costs will widen the already large gap between tourists and outdoors enthusiasts with time and income, and those on tight budgets and less access to technology.

Fees are adding up at every level, Eldorado Canyon hiker Jeff Paquette said.

“So now you have the annual pass for your state, the annual pass for your county, and before you know it, it’s going to be for all open space,” he said.

The Sierra Club is among those fighting for more open space and recreation opportunities closer to cities, Ostfeld said.

By Sierra Club’s definition of “nearby,” 100 million Americans lack easy access to open space.

“We must be very careful to ensure that the actions of public land managers don’t perpetuate the status quo, with many communities already feeling unwelcome or unsafe in some of our national and more remote parks and public lands,” Ostfeld said.

Being mindful of everyone’s

time and resources is key to designing open space access, Weiss said.

“One thing we’ve learned from all of this is that any sort of time system where a clock turns over and everyone is mashing a button to try to get in, that is not fair and equitable,” he said.

Some space needs to be reserved for lottery or last-minute access for those whose lives can’t revolve around one reservation window.

Colorado leaders say they are aware of all these pitfalls and will keep working to avoid them. The new $29 state parks pass linked to motor vehicle registration will bring in money to add new parks, experiment with reservations, expand shuttle systems and more, DNR’s Gibbs said.

He said he still prefers to look at access as a good problem to have.

“In the long run,” Gibbs said, “we want people to get outdoors.

I mean, this is Colorado.”
