150 years of pandemonium

Former Mines runner places first at annual BOLDERBoulder

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ben Schneiderman embodies the idea that Orediggers lead the way. e former Colorado School of Mines runner took rst place at the 2023 BOLDERBoulder men’s 10k race, nishing in 31:02. He even sported his Orediggers running gear as he crossed the nish line. Fellow Oredigger alumnus Jake Mitchem also nished fourth in the men’s 10k, coming in at 31:20. Mitchem competed for Mines from 2016-2022.

About 40,000 runners participated in this year’s BOLDERBoulder, the Memorial Day race that’s been called “America’s All-Time Best 10k.” e annual event draws 100,000 spectators who cheer on the runners through central Boulder, helping the race feel like a townwide party.

Generations of alumni celebrate Golden High School’s sesquicentennial anniversary

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

What started as Colorado’s rst high school with a permanent building in 1873 has become a vast network of thousands of Demons across Colorado and around the world who bleed maroon and

white.

So, when the call went out to celebrate Golden High School’s 150th anniversary this month, hundreds of graduates — from the 1960s to the future Class of 2032 — answered.

On June 4, generations of Demons gathered to celebrate their historic

high school — the oldest in Colorado — during its sesquicentennial year. GHS will have more festivities for Homecoming Week this September.

roughout the event, the attending alumni enjoyed reminiscing by looking through the yearbooks and newspaper clippings, watching a short documentary of the school’s history and touring the current campus.

Schneider told the Boulder Daily Camera how he’d been in third most of the race, but took the lead on the nal uphill stretch. He told the Camera how he appreciated the BOLDERBoulder because it’s a fun, local race, and he was excited to run with his brother Noah and former teammate Mitchem.

Schneiderman, a Colorado Springs native, rst started at Mines in fall 2014. He was an AllAmerican in cross country and

YEARS

Golden High School has had ve iterations of buildings and/or campuses throughout its history.

e current building at 701 24th St. was nished in 2008, and several alumni said they hadn’t seen it yet.

While much has changed throughout GHS’ history, attendees said one thing has remained the same: the community feel.

Class of 1993 graduate Amber English née Hayes remarked how GHS is “one of the last elements of small-town culture” in Golden.

She and her brother Ryan Hayes described how several longtime families, like theirs, have had three or more generations graduate from Golden. Over the years, Demons have returned to teach and/or coach at GHS, and the community generally rallies around the school’s events, activities and teams.

Ryan Hayes said his wife, who graduated from Arvada West High School, has noticed how GHS’ culture is distinct and unique from other high schools’.

e siblings, who are the third generation of Demons in their family, noted how their grandmother Virginia Hayes graduated from the school in 1933 and then worked as the GHS librarian. ey added

that their dad, Bob Hayes, was an alumnus and longtime teacher and coach, and the current gym is named after him.

Amber and her husband met at GHS, where they were high school sweethearts in the early ‘90s, and their son graduated in 2020. Ryan graduated in 2006, and

For indoor and outdoor track, he primarily competed in 5,000and 10,000-meter races. He nished eighth in the outdoor 10,000-meter run at the 2019 NCAA Division II National Championships, nishing in 31:18.75.

roughout his career, he received several awards for his academic achievements, including the NCAA Elite 90 Award. And, while his athletic eligibility ended after 2019, he continued his studies at Mines. In December, he received his doctorate in metallurgical and materials engineering.

Even post-graduation, Schneiderman has continued to support the Orediggers, most recently serving as a pacer duringa the April 21 Mines Mini-Meet.

Survey of 2,500 UK Households With Heat Pumps Showed 81% Satisfaction Level

Because of their higher fossil fuel costs, other countries are far ahead of the United States in the adoption of home electrification, including for heating. The United Kingdom is one of them, and The Guardian recently reported on a survey of 2,500 households which have made that switch. I’m not aware of a similar survey here, where there may not be enough heat pump households to survey.

HVAC contractors in America have been slow to offer or recommend the replacement of gas forced air and gas boiler heating systems with heat pumps, mostly because they are unfamiliar with them. When a homeowner needs to replace their current HVAC system, the vendor who has been servicing that system is most likely to recommend replacing it with a “newer, more efficient” model. So far, I have found only one company which installs and services both traditional gas-fueled heating systems and electric heat pump systems — always recommending the latter. That company, which I have mentioned previously, is Sensible Heating & Cooling, 720-876-7166.

Guardian’s article, a link to which I’ll post on www.GoldenREblog.com:

The survey of more than 2,500 domestic heat pump owners and more than 1,000 domestic gas boiler owners in England, Scotland and Wales over the last winter is thought to be the largest investigation into how households have responded to heat pumps to date….

Households have been slow to take up government vouchers worth £5,000 to help cover the cost of replacing a gas boiler with a new heat pump. Slightly more than a third of the scheme’s grants were taken up in the last financial year.

However, the survey, which was undertaken by Eunomia Research and Consulting, found that 81% of households were as satisfied or more satisfied with heat pumps compared with previous heating systems, including gas boilers, electric heating, or oil and LPG boilers….

On running costs, which is another key area of concern for households considering a heat pump, the survey found that two-thirds of heat pump owners and 59% of gas boiler owners were satisfied even without extensive energy efficiency upgrades….

“The government should now have the confidence to move forward quickly with its proposal to.… streamline outof-date planning rules to make it easier and cheaper for everyone to make the switch to cleaner, safer and more efficient heating with a heat pump,” [said Clem Cowton, director of external affairs for Octopus Energy, a local energy supplier.]

Renewables Surpassed Coal & Nuclear for First Time in 2022

Since 2007, the use of coal for electricity generation has generally been in decline, while the use of renewables has been on the rise. Electricity generation from nuclear had remained relatively flat over the last two decades but has experienced a slight decline in recent years. In 2022, net generation of electricity from renewables reached 0.91 billion megawatt-hours, topping both coal and nuclear (0.83 and 0.77 billion megawatt-hours, respectively). In 2022, renewables accounted for about 21% of all net generation of electricity.

Notes:

Renewable sources of power include wind, solar, hydropower, biomass, and geothermal energy. “Other” category includes petroleum liquids, petroleum coke, batteries, chemicals, hydrogen, pitch, purchased steam, sulfur, miscellaneous technologies, and electricity gen-

erated from non-renewable waste.

Electricity net generation is the amount of gross electricity a generator produces minus the electricity used to operate the power plant.

Are You Interested in or Curious About Cohousing?

Cohousing is an intentional, collaborative neighborhood that combines private homes with shared indoor and outdoor spaces designed to support an active and interdependent community life.

Here in Jefferson County and Denver, we have several successful cohousing communities, including Harmony Village, a 27-unit townhome community in Golden, and Hearthstone Cohousing, a 33-townhome community built on the former Elitch Gardens site in northwest Denver. Both communities have common houses for group meals and other community activities. The common houses also have guest apartments that members can rent for visiting guests.

brie y coached at the school afterward.

“Golden High School has been our whole lives,” he said.

e Hayes siblings and other attendees emphasized how all the di erent generations of Demons returning for the sesquicentennial celebration was a testament to that community feel.

Michelle Henriksen née Ellis and her husband Nils Henriksen, Class of 1992 graduates who live in the Arvada West area, said they plan to choice-enroll their daughter Annalise at GHS because of that unique environment.

Annalise, who was sporting a “Class of 2032” sticker at the sesquicentennial celebration, said she was very excited to be a future Demon. She enjoyed the June 4 event, saying she had fun seeing old photos of her parents and uncle in the GHS yearbooks.

Michelle and her brother Brian Ellis, a Class of 1994 graduate, moved to Golden from Indiana, where their education was a “sit-and-get” format. But, GHS was di erent: it was more engaging and immersive.

Brian Ellis added how, at that time, felt more like a college campus with students coming and going at all

hours of the day.

at environment, the siblings said, allowed them to ourish at GHS. Now, the Henriksens hoped that’d be the case for Annalise and other future Demons.

Decades of Maroon & White

e 20-minute documentary recapping the school’s history was a highlight of the June 4 event, showing how GHS history intersected with Golden, Colorado and United States history.

It honored those Demons who fought and died in World War I, World War II and the Vietnam War;

it showed the passage of time along Washington Avenue and the various school buildings and campus sites; and highlighted those GHS teams who won state championships.

e video also brought back memories for the alumni, like the payphone outside the gym, various fashion trends, and traditional GHS events like prom, junior raft trips and senior seminars.

Class of 1988 graduates Cora Rice and Jennifer Chaet also later expounded on how they helped develop the now-iconic GHS hand jive.

e two alumni initially learned the hand jive at a camp and brought

back to GHS, but did it to a variety of songs. It caught on enough that the Class of 1988 performed the hand jive at graduation.

Rice and Chaet theorized how the Class of 1989 must’ve solidi ed the routine and eternally paired it with Depeche Mode’s “Just Can’t Get Enough.” However it came to be, the pair just appreciated how the Demons have kept it going, noting that it’s “become a staple of the school now.”

For several alumni, this was their rst time back at GHS in decades.

Class of 1968 graduate Doug Doing noted how his children went to GHS as well, but he hadn’t seen the new campus since it was nished in 2008.

Judy Foley née Becwar said she toured the campus ve years ago for her 50th class reunion. But, she appreciated returning with her children, who graduated in the ‘90s, for the sesquicentennial.

Class of 1988 graduate Jon Olsen said he probably hadn’t been back since graduation, but his brother and another friend from GHS encouraged him to go with them on June 4.

For Golden High School to last 150 years is a true accomplishment, he said, adding how both the anniversary itself and the June 4 celebration show how enduring and resilient the Golden Demons are, have been and always will be.

When online classes head outdoors

about much more than the schoolwork.

ere are some things that kids cannot learn in an online classroom.

at’s why Destinations Career Academy of Colorado social studies teacher Hunter Sta ord started Outdoor Leadership for CODCA students.

“Outdoor Leadership is a Career and Technical Education class at CODCA, a public, mostly online high school that serves students across the state of Colorado,” a school spokesperson said.

e class is hybrid in that it is conducted via Zoom for much of the year. e students have lectures, book discussions and projects, but four times a year, they get to go outside for the class, too.

e course is written, taught and guided by Sta ord. He designs the lessons for the Zoom classes and the outdoor trips. ey take about four trips a year.

First Aid certi cation near Westminster in October and snowshoed three miles to High Lonesome Hut near Fraser in February.

On all of these trips, the students learned some kind of survival skills, like avalanche safety, navigation and environmental safety.

e nal trip was a rafting trip combined with volunteer work with Je co Open Spaces. e students volunteered at Crown Hill Park on

“We rafted down class three whitewater, dodging rocks and getting splashed by rapids along the way,” Sta ord said.

Afterward, Sta ord heard some good feedback from the students, who had great things to say about the trip.

“Some students were nervous to raft but ended the day with ‘I LOVE rafting!’” Sta ord said.

Sta ord explained that the class is

“Outdoor Leadership at CODCA is a pretty cool place where kids of many di erent backgrounds and levels of comfortability in nature come together and spend extended periods of time in Colorado’s public lands,” Sta ord said. “ e relationships, connection to nature and con dence gained from these experiences will stay with each student in their own unique way for the rest of their lives.”

His program is designed to work alongside the CODCA curriculum. He’s not subverting the importance of online school. e school has found that o ering the option is necessary in today’s world.

Instead, Sta ord is trying to give students access to Colorado’s outdoors, a space he has found personally healing.

“I care deeply about spending time in nature,” he said. “It has healed me, taught me life lessons and brought me close to many special people in my life. Unfortunately, there are many barriers to spending time in nature. Fear of risks, transportation issues, access, cost of gear and many more reasons keep kids and adults from experiencing the joy of the natural world.”

Mines moon dust-moving challenge draws international competitors

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When building up an annual event, the inaugural one sets the foundation, but the second one is the all-important adhesive that the next iterations are built on.

From May 31-June 1, Colorado School of Mines cohosted the second annual Over the Dusty Moon Challenge with Lockheed Martin. College students from across the world demonstrated the moon-dust-moving designs they’ve been building since September.

e Mines team — the Rock Hoppers — and four other teams from Europe and Australia designed machinery to move moon dust, or regolith, as e ciently as possible in a set amount of time.

is nal phase of competition had teams assemble their machinery, explain it, and then use it to move the regolith both vertically and horizontally. is year’s competition had a new wrinkle, as competitors’ designs also had to remove pebbles and rocks from the simulated moon dust.

e ve teams were judged on the amount of regolith transported, system mass, energy consumed, dust tolerance and generation, autonomy, and overall performance.

SpaceTeam AGH from Poland’s AGH University of Science and Technology won rst place and a $5,000 prize.

e Aussienauts from Austra-

lia’s University of New South Wales took second place and the $4,000 prize; and the multinational team Spaceship EAC placed third for the $3,000 prize.

Along with Mines’s Rock Hoppers, the MoonAixperts from Germany’s RWTH Aachen rounded out the ve competing teams in the nal phase. e challenge started in September with participants submitting their conceptual designs, and the best ones were selected to advance to the May 31-June 1 physical dem-

onstrations.

As Lockheed Martin’s Kirk Shireman stated in a Mines press release: “Creating challenging, experiential educational opportunities like Over the Dusty Moon ensures we are tapping into the next generation of innovative and forward-thinking engineers, as we are one step closer to a sustainable presence on the Moon.”

75 years of first responder service

Evergreen Fire/Rescue celebrates its history

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Evergreen’s re department has grown exponentially since it started in 1948.

With more stations, more female re ghters, more technology and a busy emergency medical service that merged with the re department in 1986, Evergreen Fire/Rescue of 2023 outwardly doesn’t appear to have much in common with its roots.

But it does.

After 75 years, re ghters from all years are bound together in the brotherhood and sisterhood of service to the community. It doesn’t matter when you were part of the department, you are still family.

Evergreen Fire/Rescue celebrated its diamond jubilee with a barbecue for re ghters past and present over Memorial Day weekend, with veteran volunteers greeting friends old and new, and telling stories about their time as rst responders serving the community.

For current Fire Chief Mike Weege, who went through re ghter train-

ing in 2001 and has been with EFR his entire re ghting career, the barbecue was a chance to reconnect with retired re ghters. He said getting involved with EFR in the early 2000s allowed him to get to know some of the founding members and subsequent generations of volunteers.

O to the pack burro races

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Runners come to Georgetown for the pack burro race, fans come for the burros and Clear Creek Rotary 2000 members come for the burro poop.

e 17th annual pack burro race on May 27 brought 78 participants, some of them local, with others from around Colorado and from Western states, all ready to make the eightmile journey from Georgetown to Empire and back with their fourlegged friends. e fastest time was 1 hour, 13 minutes.

Burro-race fans took lots of photos, petted the pack animals and admired the sight they don’t often see in Georgetown. en there’s Clear Creek Rotary 2000. Why not take the steaming piles left along the road as the burros run by and turn them into a fundraiser? Rotary members mark 600 squares along one block of Sixth Street with painter’s tape, and for $10 per square, viewers can bet that

their square will have the largest amount of dung left after the race starts. e winner gets $300; the club gets $5,700 to use for scholarships.

Clear Creek Rotary is an integral part of making sure the Georgetown burro race is something special.

Melissa Keuroglian, the George-

town Community School director and a Rotary member, said her rst weekend in Georgetown was Memorial Day 2022, and she attended the burro race.

“It’s been easy to embrace this little town,” she said, “and the burro race is one of the unique things that puts us on the map.”

History of burro racing

Pack burro racing is a sport native to Colorado, though it’s unclear how it originally started. According to social media, the most likely scenario is that two miners found gold and raced with their burros in tow to see who could get to the claims o ce rst. “Burro” is Spanish for “donkey.” In 2012, pack burro racing was named the o cial summer heritage sport in Colorado.

e Western Pack Burro Ass-ociation (the name is trademarked) was formed more than 50 years ago to better organize the races, track race results, establish guidelines for how competitors should conduct themselves and enforce rules for how burros should be treated, according to the WPBA website. Racing continues to grow across the United States, with races seeing more competitors each year.

Burro race runners

is was Kristin Trapp’s rst time in the Georgetown burro race, though she’s raced elsewhere. e Tucson, Arizona, resident said her son also was participating in the race. “I love to run in them,” she said, noting that her burro Leo was a good donkey.

Racers leave the starting line on May 27 at the annual pack burro race in Georgetown. Burros and their handlers traversed eight miles to Empire and back for the first of two burro races in Clear Creek County on Memorial Day weekend.

could join EFR.

“My dad always said if you live in Evergreen, you have to be a reghter,” Carrol said.

Marilyn Sandifer, whose husband Bill was a re ghter from 1965 to 1985, attended the barbecue. She said the rst time she was alone with Bill – not a date, she noted –Bill stopped at the re station, and he let her sit in a retruck. “It was a stepping stone” to their long marriage, she said.

The 1970s

e retirees talked about the hose cart races in the 1970s, and how Evergreen was the state champion three years in a row, beating other volunteer re departments. A trophy and photos of the team in action are on display in a cabinet in the entry way to the Administration Building.

Pete Anderson, who served on the department from 1977 to 2007 and is writing the EFR history book, said no calls stand out as he looks back on his 30 years. He explained that some calls were heartbreaking since rst responders tend to see people on their worst day.

e best part, he added, was working with really good people and doing a good job, noting that “there’s nothing more exciting that running

into a burning building.”

Anderson’s father and uncle were charter members of the department.

Rhoda Schleicher, who was among the rst women in the department, joined in 1979, and while some of the older re ghters gave her grief for joining, they realized she was the perfect size to get into attics and crawl spaces, places others couldn’t get into.

“I refused to make co ee,” she said.

She noted that the teamwork

good time, too. One of his favorite memories was training to be on the rappelling team for helicopter responses, saying he still had the harness he wore for those missions.

Stein recently rejoined the department as part of the retired reserve as a tender truck driver. He said the rst time he came to grab a truck, other, younger re ghters wondered who he was, and they welcomed him like a brother once they learned his new role with the department.

George Merchant, who served from 1979 to 1999, said he remembered going from just boots and a jacket to full re ghting bunker gear during his tenure with the department.

among the re ghters was the department’s greatest asset.

“ e fact that we came from all over the place, and we worked together to put out a re made it special,” she said. “Training was fun, and I made friends. It was a challenge, but the challenge was fun.”

The 1980s

Joe Stein, who served from 1985 to 2006, said innovation was necessary in those days, noting that the re ghters worked hard but had a

Dick Merkel, who served from 1972 to 1982, recalled the huge amount of work to combine the re department with the separate ambulance service. He said re ghters responded to calls and waited for the emergency medical personnel to arrive. It made sense, he said, to combine the two services.

“We went from providing rst aid to an EMT program,” he said. “It was memorable to get the rescue unit going.”

His wife, Judy, was especially grateful for the combined department because Dick was hit by a drunken driver in 1989, and “they saved his life because of the pro-

gram he started.”

Dispatching

Schleicher, who left reghting and became a dispatcher with Rose Smith in the late 1970s and 1980s, said it was vastly di erent than the current Je com high-tech dispatch center. Five women worked from their homes, and since most had young children, they helped each other, making sure that someone was available to take calls and dispatch rst responders 24/7.

Schleicher says she still has nightmares that the phones are unattended when calls come in.

e dispatchers helped each other out when one needed to leave the house to take out the trash, do something with the children or take time to vacuum the carpets.

In those days, GPS didn’t exist, so the dispatchers had maps available to gure out where the emergency was and provide directions to responders.

The 2000s to present day

e early 2000s, Weege not-

ed, were a time of huge growth for the department, which went from four re stations to its current eight, plus the construction of the Administration Building on Bergen Parkway.

“We doubled the size of the apparatus and the buildings,” he said. “ at was a big change.”

He is proud that Evergreen Fire/Rescue grew along with Evergreen.

“We’re proud of our history, those who came before us and had the foresight to start the department, recognize the growth of Evergreen and the need to expand,” Weege said. “ ey had a willingness to change over the years. e department’s forefathers recognized the growth and need to provide a level of service this community expects.”

While the volunteers are the core of re operations in the department, Weege said, the department has expanded into re prevention and most recently the wildland group.

Mike Gregory, who served with EFR from 2002 to 2014, then was elected to the re department’s board of directors, said joining the department was the best thing he ever did.

“I had 80 immediate friends when I joined, and I still have those friends,” he said.

The first firehouse in downtown Evergreen was built by the charter members.

Nikki Ruelle of Georgetown was running for the rst time with umper the burro.

She joked that she would do well in the race because of communication and a deep understanding of umper, though she meant it when she exclaimed, “ is is the best day of my life.”

Cousins Jason Mounts of Denver and Dewane Mosher of Alamosa participated together, Mounts with burro Bluebell and Mosher with Bunny. is was Mounts’ rst foray into burro racing, and he just wanted to cross the nish line unscathed. is was Mosher’s fourth time in the Georgetown race. He said he used to run road races, and then he tried a race with a burro, and the road races became passé.

“ ese are more entertaining,” he said.

Burro fans

Leslie Russell of Salem, Massachusetts, used the Georgetown pack-burro race as a way to gain more understanding of the book: “Running with Sherman: How a rescue donkey inspired a rag-tag gang of runners to enter the craziest race in America.”

Both Russell and her daughter Erin Gilroy, who lives in Denver, Aare new to watching pack-burro races.

“I’m trying to ful ll a dream,” Russell said. “I am so excited. You have no idea.”

She said she was doing reconnaissance as she considers trying burro racing herself – maybe next year.

Tonya and Paul Pappert of Westminster attended to cheer on their daughter, Brooke Tolmacho , who was running with Esther the burro.

Rotary fundraiser

e smiles and chuckles were noticeable as people learned about the Rotary club’s Call to Dooty fundraiser, a unique twist for the pack-burro race.

Five years ago, according to Rotary President Robert Smith, the club came up with the fundraiser, and he said club members have learned over the years that burros relieve themselves while they’re moving, which is why the squares are located near the starting line.

With apologies to those who might be a bit squeamish, Smith said the club wants to make sure the winner truly is the winner, so club members survey the squares after burros run by, and if there isn’t a clear square winner, they don gloves and grab paper plates to scoop up and weigh the excrement.

“We weigh it to one-one hundredth of an ounce,”

he said, “to gure out where the most poop is.” is year, the club added a poop-pitching cornhole game with participants throwing bags that look like poop, and winners getting gift certi cates to area businesses.

Tonya Pappert laughed uproariously when she saw the Rotary club’s Call to Doo-ty fundraiser, with Paul adding, “Where else can you gamble on poop?”

Bill Lee, a Clear Creek icon, and his burro Bullwinkle make their way through downtown Georgetown amid applause and cheers at the start of the burro race.

Summer markets are back

I’ve mentioned this before but I’ll mention it again, when we think of seasons, we don’t really think in terms of the “o cial” designations, do we? You know what I mean. e o cial start of seasons based on solstices or whatever. No, we tend to think of them based on the school calendar or holiday schedule. Yes, the actual rst day of summer is June 21, but everybody thinks of it as being between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

So, that means that most of our favorite summer activities have already started. One of the things a lot of us look forward to, once the weather warms up, is the Golden Farmer’s Market. at started last weekend and will be continuing every Saturday until Oct. 7.

If you have never been there, you should check it out. It’s produced and managed by the Golden Chamber of Commerce and has been a long-standing tradition in the Golden community. eir goal is to contribute to the success of local food growers and producers, as well as other businesses, and to create kind of a vibrant community gathering every week.   e revenue gener-

It’s open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., so this is one of those morning things. But don’t worry, they always have farm fresh fruits and vegetables, of course, but they usually have meat, sh, poultry, wines, owers, plants, health and wellness items, jewelry, art, clothing plus co ee as well as a slew of food vendors so you can just get up, throw on some clothes and have your breakfast out in the sunshine. Now, I’ll be honest here, this year’s vendor list hasn’t been posted on their website yet, but that’s the kind of thing you can expect to nd there.

e best way to gure out what’s

available there this year is to just drop by and take a look. Who knows? You might just stumble upon a new favorite that makes you want to get up early on a Saturday.

You can nd out more by going to the afore mentioned website at www.goldenfarmersmarket.org.

Golden is also home to other types of markets as well as a few di erent food halls. One of those is the new Morris and Mae Market the combines a food hall, bar, and artisan market together under one roof. If you haven’t been there and just happen to be a dog lover, then this Sunday, June 11 might be a good day to go take a peek at the place. ey will be hosting something called Tito’s Giveback and Pup Crawl…Yes, that’s “Pup”, not “Pub.” It’s a fundraising event to support a local animal rescue while having a great time with your furry people.

Although it all starts at Morris and Mae it continues on from there. It promises to be a fun- lled day of pup crawling with live music, where you and your canine companions can explore the local area and enjoy some delicious dog treats and adult beverages along the way.  e drinks

are for you, not the dogs. ey’ll probably have water for them.

e event runs from 1-3 p.m. and tickets include admission to the crawl, two drinks at Morris and Mae and one drink at two of their nearby neighborhood establishments. A portion of every Tito’s cocktail sold is going back to support the local animal rescue. It costs $40 but you get four drinks and the good feeling of donating to a worthy cause.

Morris and Mae Market is located at 18475 West Colfax Ave, Suite 132 on the south side of Golden. e most visible landmark in the area is Avalanche Harley Davidson. It’s in a little shopping center next to that.

Solar similarly once seemed like a long reach. Panels have become ubiquitous, and we’re just getting started in Colorado, owing in part to the seeds planted at NREL more than 40 years ago.

related always emergency wildlife immediate issues con car another herds across tra case, tra with road dispatcher tions ate emergency. Colorado o deputy

What should I do if I see injured wildlife? Call *277!

After the initial shock of seeing an animal struck on the road, an elk entangled in a net (or basketball goal, hammock, or holiday lights), your mind might race to the question, “What should I do?”

Here is your answer and it’s all wrapped up in 4 characters: *277.

Why that number?

Colorado State Patrol (CSP) operates a non-emergency phone line, *CSP (which is *277). While humanrelated emergency calls should always be sent to 911, the CSP nonemergency number can be used for wildlife emergencies.

What are wildlife emergencies?

Animals that are injured and need immediate assistance are appropriate issues for a *277 call. Human-wildlife con icts, such as an animal attack or car crash, should be sent to 911.

When nearby and not involved in another call, CSP troopers or CPW ofcers may respond to *277 calls about herds of elk that are moving slowly across Highway 74 and are blocking tra c for long periods of time. In this case, the trooper or o cer will calm tra c but are not allowed to interfere with the animals’ progress across the road for safety reasons.

What happens when I call *277?

Just like a 911 dispatcher, the *277 dispatcher will ask pertinent questions and will contact the appropriate agency to respond to the wildlife emergency. e dispatcher knows the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) o cers, CSP trooper, Je co Sheri ’s deputy or Evergreen Fire/Rescue re-

INSIDE THE OUTDOORS

sponders on duty.

Why not call Colorado Parks and Wildlife, county animal control or a wildlife rehabilitator directly?

While those are all options, calling *277 will allow a dispatcher to make the determination of which organization is appropriate to respond to that wildlife emergency, and *277 is always available.

What about nights and weekends?

Dialing *277 is an excellent option because the caller does not have to be concerned with knowing an agency’s o ce hours. People may have difculty thinking clearly when facing an emergency involving a su ering animal, and dialing *277 is simple and fast.

When is *277 not the right choice?

Do not call *277 when:

You see dead animals or roadkill (the state or county road crews will likely remove them, but you may also contact them to report the carcass) unless the carcass is a human safety issue, such as blocking tra c.

You have wildlife questions of a non-emergency nature (call CPW or another wildlife-based agency or nonpro t during o ce hours)

Other important details concerning animals in the road:

In the Conifer/Evergreen areas,

we have state and county roads. e responsible agencies are di erent for each jurisdiction.

Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Region 1 includes Highways 74, 285, 8, I-70, Highway 40 among others. CDOT Maintenance is responsible for roadkill removal. Colorado State Patrol jurisdiction includes all state and interstate highways.

Je erson County roads are those not included in the above list, such as Highway 73, Brookforest and Bu alo Park Roads. Je co Road and Bridge is the agency responsible for roadkill removal on these roads. Je co Sheri deputies respond to crashes on county highways and roads.

Wildlife carcasses discovered on personal property are the responsibility of the property owner. Options are calling a carcass removal company or

in some cases, the animal may be harvested for which a permit from CPW is required.

CPW asks that residents experiencing bear encounters contact the appropriate CPW o ce to report the incident. Sta will share important information with the callers, such as how to bearproof the home and how to haze the animal, with the goal of preventing bears and other wildlife from feeling comfortable near homes. Bears that associate food with humans may become increasingly aggressive. Regretfully, when a bear breaks into a home, he is then considered a danger to human beings and may be put down by CPW o cers.

To report bear encounters, learn more about bear-proo ng, or ask wildlife-related questions, please contact CPW’s Denver o ce at (303) 291-7227.

questions as they arise.

An hour before the tours and four miles away at the Colorado School of Mines, Gov. Jared Polis had signed several bills. e new laws contemplate possible solutions as Colorado stretches to achieve its emissionsreduction goals from 2030 to 2050.

Two of the laws anticipate using the subterranean in ways to quell emissions or even stow carbon dioxide captured from the atmosphere. A central player in this governance will be the Energy and Carbon Management Commission, which is a new name for an old agency.

is agency will have a broader mission than the oil and gas drilling that previously was its exclusive domain. One is potential tapping of underground heat to generate electricity.

Another is governance of underground storage of hydrogen as Xcel Energy contemplates with a potential project involving the Pawnee power plant near Brush.

Carbon capture and sequestration is a third possibility, but one hotly disputed by some environmental watchdogs, among them Leslie Glustrom, a biochemist. ey are skeptical of the

agency’s ability to regulate oil and gas, let alone other activities. Pipelines, both for oil and for carbon dioxide, have a history of ruptures. In 2022, residents of a rural area of Mississippi were left unconscious after a pipeline rupture left the odorless carbon dioxide spewing for four hours.

Dozens of bills addressing the energy transition were passed this year by Colorado legislators, a recognition of the need for swift actions proportionate to the risk of still-rising emissions. Even more striking was a report from northwest Colorado that Rangely, one of our most prominent oil and gas boom towns, plans to be engaged in the clean energy transition.

Speaking at NREL on Monday, U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm noted that urgency. “We have to do everything everywhere all at once to get to that 100% goal,” she said.

e work has begun on the changes that will be manifested beyond 2030. e path leading to the current basketball championship began in 2014 when the Nuggets drafted Jokic with their third draft choice that year. e Nuggets did not have high expectations. Some things take time - and then, all of a sudden they’re here.

Striving to bring the magic of global movement to people in Colorado, Caitlin BroznaSmith founded the dance studio that brings a piece of global culture along with self-expression and con dence with each class.

teach countries.

To bring as much authentic culture into Denver, many teachers have gone abroad to study di erent styles of dance.

“ e people (teachers) who are not native from the cultures that we’re teaching travel and learn from the source because it’s really important that we do cultural appreciation and cultural exchange,” Brozna-Smith said.

“I am very careful when I am teaching my students because I am not Brazilian, it is not my culture, but it is something that I am absolutely fascinated with and love,” said instructor Chelsi Vecchiavelli. “I spend a lot of time outside of class researching, asking experts, listening to podcasts, consulting my mentors who are Brazilian and who are my teachers.”

Born out of the slave trade when it was down in Brazil, Samba was a means of hope and joy and is a dance of resistance and raises up against oppression.

Samba schools have often been located in a favela, which is the poor neighborhoods within Rio De Janeiro. Vecchiavelli said there

DANCE

is a big connection between the people and the culture, which is something she wanted to bring back to her classes in the U.S.

Since spending time in Brazil earlier this year, Vecchiavelli has implemented a sense of community within her classes.

e class starts with a warm-up, which can di er each week, but tends to be drill focused. Students start to move their bodies by working on hip movements, endurance and strengthening the ankles.

After warming up, the class begins to stretch out every part of their body to help prevent injuries. e class then moves to work on technique, whether it is adding the ourishes of the arms during Samba no pé or gaining speed and endurance for the style.

In Brozna-Smith’s Samba class, her students warm up to the upbeat rhythm of the drums.

Just as Brozna-Smith has her students perform for one another during the class, Vecchiavelli has integrated improvisation at the end of her class. e students gather in a circle and with an energetic song playing, they dance with each other.

e end of class time is not about technique or who has the best footwork, it’s about connecting with one another as that is what the culture is about. Western dancers are often trained to perform, but this style of dance is about looking each other in the eyes, singing and embracing the joy that comes along with Samba.

“We need to recognize that we’re dancing it from a place of privilege,” said Vecchiavelli. “We’re not able to connect to it in the same way that people in Brazil can, and so I try to make sure that we at least know the context of it.”

Bella Bro World Dance

For an hour each week, men take part in a high-intensity, choreographybased workout. Led by Kyle Kastner, the group’s heart rate increases and sweat pours down as Kastner focuses on moving fast.

Having been the only consistent man who danced at Bella Diva for eight years, Kastner felt the need to bring more men into the fold, as male representation in dance in America is not as strong as in other cultures.

Kastner believes the American culture is dismissive and even undermining of male dancers.

“I actually think that it is incredibly masculine to dance, and when you look at other cultures around the world, dance is ingrained,” Kastner said. “It’s not gendered. ere may be gender norms within it, but gender is not important.”

With the goal of creating a space for men to feel free to use their bodies in a creative way, Kastner created Bella Bro World Dance. ere are about eight individuals who are regulars to the class.  Kasnter gains inspiration for his class

from Bollywood and Brazilian Samba no pé. It is not just the energy that those styles of dance bring but embracing the masculinity of the Indian culture and bridging the gap between di erent stylings that is being shown in Samba no pé.

Bella Bro World Dance recently worked on a piece inspired by a lm based on a true story. e character they are portraying was a great warrior and fought in battles. Although it appears that the dancers are not doing much, their moves are incredibly complex and take a lot of strength to complete.  roughout the class, the students started to learn how to move their bodies in new and challenging ways and discover things about themselves, Kastner said. e class also helps rede ne what masculinity is and shift the focus from a toxic idea of masculinity to a much more embracing, accepting idea of what it could be.

In his class, he helps the students learn how to use their inherent male privilege as a superpower for good.

“ at’s something I’ve de nitely been working with the men on is understanding that just because we are men, we have privilege that others don’t,” said Kasnter. “And then especially if we are white men with privilege that others don’t (have), to use that in a bene cial positive way for society and community as a whole.”

instructor of the Iranian Persian style of dance in Colorado, Delsie KhademGhaeini is honored to represent her community and to be a vessel for cultural outreach by sharing Iranian culture through dance.

In Iranian culture, there are a couple of di erent stylizations of dance as there are di erent minority groups and languages, all of the groups have their own folk dancing and style of dancing. e style Khadem-Ghaeini teaches is not a regional style of dance in Iran, it is shared across all of those cultures.

Iranian culture is deeply rooted in poetry, therefore, a lot of the music has poetry in it.

Khadem-Ghaeini said the style she teaches is more of a staged kind of style of dancing, a style that is closely related to what is seen in current pop styles of dance. She focuses on the quality of the movements. e movements are more structured and re ned compared to some of the more theatrical styles of dancing.

“Depending on what region they’re from, there might be dance movements that are associated to the kind of farming that they might have done or in the southern region, along the Persian Gulf, there may be dance movements that are related to shing,” Khadem-Ghaeini said.

Her classes focus on connecting with the music by using the uidity of the arms, hands and wrists, which can be very emotive. One form of movement that di erentiates the Iranian style of dance from other styles that also use

arms and hands is the use and curving of the spine. e combination of the arm, hand and spinal curves is subtle to the eye.

According to Khadem-Ghaeini, the aesthetics of Iranian culture has a lot of curves and a lot of geometry. Many of the shapes in the body that dancers create are very curved, even mirroring the way Persian calligraphy curves and moves are showing up in dance.

Another important piece of Iranian Persian dancing is learning the history of Iranian culture and sending messages and making statements. With the current revolutions taking place in Iran, Khadem-Ghaeini and her students performed at the University of Denver, choosing songs that relate to the woman-led revolutions.

“When I’m dancing, it’s a much deeper connection to music,” said Khadem-Ghaeini. “It’s not just about trying to hit my body a certain way that that music hits… but the poetry and the music that has like thousands of years of history, that is part of Iranian culture, to me, every time I do a performance is deeply involved for me.”

Being a student at Bella Diva World Dance

Having studied dance since she was a little girl, Elizabeth Buckius has trained in di erent kinds of studios with strict teachers in traditional ballet. She said that Bella Diva is the most welcoming, supportive and caring studio.

Students at the Denver-based studio are of all ages, all orientations and all shapes and sizes. e people bring an electric energy into the studio and by embracing the cultural aspect of the di erent styles of dance, everyone — from sta to students to the costume designer — has created a strong community within the walls of the studio, according to Buckius and sta at the studio.

“What makes us unique is also what makes us stronger,” said Brozna-Smith. “We’re able to really learn empathy by putting ourselves in somebody else’s shoes or position and life.”

Along with the positive and supportive energy in each classroom, there is a lot of curiosity as well. e studio focuses on learning about different cultures and becoming a global citizen. Buckius said it’s a great way to learn about other parts of the world.

Bella Diva also focuses on being body positive and being a healthy place for dancers. And with such multicultural sta and students at the studio, the studio has become a strong and vibrant community in Denver and internationally.

“We really want to be rooted in the actual traditions that we’re studying,” said Buckius. “So even though we’re here in Colorado, we want to make sure we’re connecting with the actual traditions at the world dance studio.”

Life/Art Ensemble takes dance into the world

When many people think of starting a dance organization, they probably conjure up images of children or teenagers awkwardly guring out how to get their feet to do what their minds want them to. But Life/Art Dance Ensemble got its start in 2009 with a di erent audience in mind.

“I am a registered dietitian nutritionist and my very rst job out of college was with Volunteers of America, Colorado Branch. I co-ran the Healthy Aging program there and we would bring nutrition, exercise, and fall prevention classes to lowincome residences for older adults,” explained Jessica Riggs, artistic director and founder of Life/Art. “I also learned that entertainment budgets at these residences weren’t high and that there was a lack of quality entertainment available, particularly for those who had impaired mobility or couldn’t a ord tickets to a show.”  And from that experience came the idea of bringing dance directly to older adults.

In the 14 years since its founding, the organization has expanded to o er contemporary dance performances all over the metro area.

“We work with live music and di erent creative concepts to take dance out of the theater and move it into the world,” Riggs said. “We’re trying to expose people to what dance can be and collaborate with as many di erent groups as we can.”  e metro dance scene can often

be very siloed, Riggs said, so collaboration has become a crucial feature of nearly every project the organization engages with. Some examples include the annual Life In Motion: A Colorado Dance Film Festival, which showcases Colorado dance lm artists, and the Convergence event, which is a costsharing show featuring all kinds of local dance organizations, like Rocky Mountain Rhythm and Front Range Contemporary Ballet Company. While summer is a bit of a quiet time for Life/Art when it comes to public performances, there’s always something to work on. e organization is currently preparing for this year’s Convergence performance and a dance haunted house, also slated for the fall.

But, in the meantime, the work with older adults never stops. at is due, at least in part, to the 2021 expansion of their program to feature inclusive dance classes taught in the DanceAbility method. According to Riggs, this allows the residents to be able to dance themselves, regardless of any physical limitation they might have.

“ ere are many physical, mental, and emotional bene ts to dance,” she said. “Our primary goal in serv-

ing older adults is to improve their quality of life, social and mental health, mood, and overall sense of well-being.”

Snowmelt is swelling Colorado’s rivers

BY SHANNON MULLANE THE COLORADO SUN

Floods, swollen rivers, road closures — Colorado’s spring runo season is in full swing and much of the snow in the state’s mountains hasn’t melted yet.

Colorado saw higher-than-average snowfall build up on the Western Slope this year, a boon for irrigators and other water users who rely on the Colorado River Basin which spans Colorado, tribal lands, six Western states and parts of Mexico. But the snowmelt, with the help of recent weather, is leading to high runo and its adverse impacts are popping up around the state like a game of whack-a-mole.

Beyond monitoring for mudslides and rockfalls loosened by rain and high runo , the Colorado Department of Transportation is also watching bridges and roads for possible closures.

“I’m seeing higher ows in almost every single drainage that we have over here (in western Colorado)

than what we’ve seen probably in at least four or ve years, if not longer,” said Julie Constan, a CDOT regional director. “We had such a heavy snowpack across the entire western portion of the state, so that’s causing all of the creeks to de nitely be running higher than what we’re used to seeing.”

On the Front Range and Eastern Plains, 10 days of rain in May helped with the state’s continuing recovery

drought conditions has dropped from 93% a year ago to just 11% today.

But the rain has also combined with snowmelt to cause ooding around Colorado. In northeastern and southwestern Colorado, communities in the White-Yampa River Basin and along the Dolores River have built sandbag barriers to slow encroaching ooding. On May 11 in Denver, Cherry Creek leapt to its highest ow rate since 1980 after intense rain supplemented by reservoir releases, according to media reports.

For anyone traveling, camping or oating the river over Memorial Day weekend, checking road and weather conditions will be key for a safe outing.

Statewide, 42 people died in waterrelated accidents in 2022, according to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife. As of May 18, two people died in con rmed water-related incidents this year. e state recommends that boaters wear life jackets regardless of age or experience level.

Campsites could also be temporar-

ily closed. Dinosaur National Monument closed its Pot Creek campsites this month due to the possible failure of an old, earthen dam on private land. e dam is structurally sound, but the area has received so much snow this year that, as of mid-May, runo in ows increased the reservoir’s elevation to within a few inches of the dam’s crest, Park Ranger Dan Johnson said.

“ e state o ce was concerned that, should that dam fail in the middle of the night when people are camping there, it could create a hazardous situation,” Johnson said, adding that the campsites could reopen in time for Memorial Day weekend campers.

e high spring runo is also impacting road conditions across the state. In southeastern Colorado, the Arkansas River ooded U.S. 50 near La Junta.

A debris ow at the Hanging Lake exit on Interstate 70 in Glenwood Canyon blocked access to the trailhead for two weeks before it reopened last week. e Forest Service announced the trail is closed again

until at least June 2 because of heavy runo on the trail.

“ e amount of water coming down the trail in many spots is really impressive,” Leanne Veldhuis, EagleHoly Cross district ranger, said in a news release. “ ere is currently no good way around the water, so we have closed the trail until the runo lessens or our trail crew can mitigate it.”

CDOT is also working to repair a gaping sinkhole that appeared on Colorado 133 near Paonia. Rushing spring runo overwhelmed a culvert under the highway and caused enough erosion to collapse a section of the road that is roughly 20 to 30 feet wide — and certainly large enough to t a sedan, she said. A temporary bridge should be installed by early- to mid-June, and permanent repairs should begin this fall.

“Lots of monitoring going on, but so far, the only real major failure we’ve had has been on 133,” Constan said. “It’s a good thing that there’s only been one major failure and everything else pulled together OK.” is winter, Colorado saw storm after storm add snow to the growing snowpack in the mountains.

By early April, that buildup

peaked. e amount of liquid water in the snow, called the snow-water equivalent, across the Western Slope was 130% to 140% of the median between 1991 and 2020, according to the Colorado Basin River Forecast Center. e estimate is based on SNOTEL data collected using a network of high-elevation instruments that measure snowpack. On the Front Range, the snow-water equivalent lagged below its median this winter.

In the Upper Colorado River Basin, which includes Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming, the amount of water peaked in early April at about 150% to 170% of the historical norm. ese states are situated upstream of Lake Powell on the Utah-Arizona border, one of the basin’s largest water storage reservoirs. e reservoir’s dam, Glen Canyon Dam, sends water down to Lower Basin states — Arizona, California and Nevada — which also had an exceptionally wet year, said Cody Moser, senior hydrologist at the forecast center.

However in the Upper Basin above Lake Powell, most of the snowpack is still sitting at 150% to 170% of the norm, Moser said, according to SNOTEL data.

“Across the northern part of the Upper Colorado River Basin, there’s been alternating periods of sunny, warm weather that generates the snow melt and the higher ows,” he said. “And then we’ve seen those pe-

riods alternating with cooler, cloudier weather that’s brought some additional moisture in both rain and snow. It’s helped the snowmelt rate decrease, so it’s been kind of up and down in April and May.”

Southwestern Colorado has seen more continuous warm, sunny weather and thus more snowmelt than other parts of Colorado, like the northwestern region, he said.

Colorado also received higherthan-normal snowpack across elevations lower than 9,500 feet, where snow typically melts more quickly.

at thick layer is also frequently downstream of reservoirs which means, depending on the location, the water is going straight into streams and rivers.

at has led to an extended period of high ows, especially in the WhiteYampa River Basin in northwestern Colorado and the Dolores River Basin, Moser said. And when rain falls onto snow, as it has in isolated patches across the state, the liquid water speeds up melting even further.

“We’ve entered into a period of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoons and evenings,” he said. “We’ve had some enhanced melt due to rain-on-snow with some of these storms.”

SNOTEL sites are generally located above 9,000 feet so lower elevation runo isn’t re ected in basinwide snow-water equivalent percentages.

ese sites target between 9,000 and 11,500 feet where most of the snow-

pack typically accumulates. at’s why the snow-water equivalent percentages from SNOTEL data have not changed by much, he said.

“ ere’s still a lot of high-elevation snow up there,” Moser said.

CSU scientists delve into cattle guts to cut emissions

Fight against greenhouse gases enters new dimension

BY RAE SOLOMON KUNC

In many ways, the research pens at Colorado State University are what you’d nd on your standard cattle feedlot. ere are cows, of course, plenty of mud, and the inevitable odor of livestock.

But this feedlot, at CSU’s agricultural research and education center in Fort Collins, doubles as a scienti c laboratory. It’s where researchers in the AgNext program — a specialized research group for sustainability in animal agriculture — are learning about the greenhouse gases cows produce as they stand around digesting food.

e feedlot is tricked out with millions of dollars of equipment that allow scientists to track everything that goes into each cow, along with some of what comes out.

Specialized feed bins use radiofrequency identi cation (RFID) technology to track every ounce of corn consumed on a per cow basis. Another piece of equipment called the GreenFeed machine analyzes the gases cattle exhale. It’s a bit like a high-tech gumball machine, dispensing tasty cow treats — alfalfa pellets — on a schedule, and at the beckoning of a smartphone app operated by researchers.

On a chilly afternoon in March, Colorado State University Animal Sciences Professor Sara Place demonstrated the technology, tapping a button on her phone. A highpitched electronic chime sounded and the alfalfa pellets dropped into an opening at cow level, catching the attention of a big-eyed angus who moseyed up for a bite to eat.

“He’s got his head stuck in the machine and he’s chowing down a little bit of a snack,” Place explained.

Despite common misconceptions about the perils of bovine atu-

lence, most methane comes out of the cow’s front end in the form of enteric emissions. at means each time an cow gets a snack from the

GreenFeed machine, Place has an opportunity to get information.

“ e air gets pulled from around the animal’s face, and whatever they’re respiring out goes directly into the machine,” Place said. “We can get real time methane emissions data from that.”

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas that has a warming power 80 times more potent than

carbon dioxide in the rst 20 years of emission. e animal agriculture industry, which includes all operations that raise animals for meat or dairy, produces more methane than any other human activity in the U.S.

Climate experts say we’re running out of time to prevent climate catastrophe. To avoid the worst of it, experts say it is imperative to cut greenhouse gas emissions dramatically before 2030. Environmental groups have ambitious goals to reduce agricultural methane emissions by 30% globally by the year

But when it comes to emissions from the livestock sector, the science is still just emerging, and it’s not yet clear if the cuts will come in

Place hopes to change that with her work in the research pens.

“We want to nd solutions that can help mitigate those emissions to cut the climate impact of beef,”

A tricky proposition

Reducing the climate footprint of beef is a complex problem. According to Kim Stackhouse Lawson, director of CSU’s AgNext program, producing methane is just part of

“ ey’re biologically supposed to make methane,” she said. e gases are the byproduct of a complex fermentation process that happens inside a cow’s largest stomach, called the rumen. Changing that equation involves tinkering with the complex microbiological ecosystem inside a living animal’s stomach, which means there’s still a lot we don’t know.

For instance, there is still no experimental data on baseline emissions from the livestock industry. “ e data is not granular enough,” Stackhouse Lawson said. e best understanding of the cattle emissions picture comes from the Environmental Protection Agency’s greenhouse gas emissions inventory, which derives its data from a model that uses emissions factors - essentially multipliers from a chart, so the data is based on equations rather than direct measurements from the animals themselves.

Stackhouse Lawson said the inventory does a decent job of estimating livestock emissions at the scale of the entire U.S. But for individual operations trying to account for the carbon footprint of their own herds, those numbers are too generalized to tell the full story. “ ere’s too much variability between animals, there’s too much variability within region,” she said.

Stackhouse Lawson’s team is only now doing the work of developing more precise numbers. She cited surprising initial data from CSU’s research pens that shows the quantities of methane cows produce can vary wildly from animal to animal, suggesting an entirely new frontier for the research.

“Is there a genetic component?” She wondered. “Would we select animals that have lower methane?”

e CSU team is also looking at other variables like feed additives that can cut emissions outright.

John Tauzel, senior director for global agriculture methane with the Environmental Defense Fund, explained successful additives “will change the biome of the cow’s stomach to reduce the amount of methanogens—the organisms that create the methane.” It’s a solution he went on to describe as “really, really complex,” because of the complicated structure of the livestock industry and the biological intricacies of cattle microbiomes. at complex problem remains only partially-solved, in part due to lack of funding for the research.

Tauzel pointed out that only 2% of federal funds that support research and development for climate adaptation and mitigation in agriculture go toward reducing enteric emissions.

“We need more investment in

that space if we’re going to meet the reductions in timeframes that we need,” Tauzel said.

at investment is starting to come. Just last week, the team at AgNext announced it had received a $1 million Conservation Innovation grant from the US Department of Agriculture. e money will support continued research into emissions on the feedlot. It will also allow the researchers to expand their inquiry into cattle emissions to look at cows grazing in a pasture setting.

Stackhouse Lawson hopes more funding could be part of the next Farm Bill currently being negotiated in congress.

Until more federal dollars start owing, the research being done on cattle emissions is dependent on industry to ll the funding gap.

Industry’s stake in reducing emissions

Five Rivers Cattle Feeding bills itself as the world’s biggest cattle feeding operation. e Northern Colorado-based company runs 13 feedlots across six western states, with the capacity to fatten up to 900,000 head of cattle at any given time. A cow typically spends about six months on one of Five Rivers’ feedlots, during which time it can put on anywhere between 500 and 700 pounds.

“What we’re all about is e ciency,” said Vice President of Environmental A airs and Sustainability Tom McDonald. “[We’re] getting cattle to perform at their best while they’re at the feedlot.”

Part of that commitment to cattle performance includes support for the ongoing work at CSU’s research pens.

“ e whole goal here is to learn what our greenhouse gas footprint is, and then how can we improve it?” McDonald said.

All of the emissions research animals at CSU are on loan from Five Rivers. e company also supplies the animals’ feed and has donated

$600,000 worth of equipment to the cause, including the GreenFeed machines that collect and analyze cow exhalations.

McDonald said his company expects to recoup that sizeable investment and then some in the eventual e ciency gains made possible by the research.

Methane, after all, isn’t just a greenhouse gas. “Methane is energy,” McDonald said. “When energy is lost, that’s a wasted resource.”

CSU researcher Sarah Place said reducing methane emissions from cows could actually mean more beef to go around.

“[Methane] is basically feed calories the animal eats that actually get lost to the atmosphere,” Place explained. at means the less methane a cow exhales as it digests, the more weight it puts on that ultimately becomes beef. In other words, a lower emitting cow is more e cient at converting corn feed to body mass than a higher emitting cow.

McDonald likened the company’s interest in lowering cows’ methane emissions to any other sound business decision.

“When we upgrade equipment at the feed mill, we look for energy e cient equipment. We strive to reduce our energy usage in those areas,” he said. “From a cattle performance standpoint, we utilize the tools available to help the cattle grow faster, gain faster.”

A race against the climate time horizon

But for all the enthusiasm from the agriculture industry, the work at AgNext and a handful of related research facilities around the country is still young. Scientists are working to translate promising treatments from the pristine laboratory setting to actual, scalable applications in the feed lot.

“We’ve got a lot of exciting research that is underway,” Stackhouse Lawson said. “But it’s not ready yet.”

at’s a problem, according to Ben Lilliston, director of climate and rural strategies at the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, a climate and agriculture think tank.

“[ e technologies] are not proven yet,” Lilliston said. “We need to have emissions reductions really quickly, like in the next seven years. Speculative technologies are… You

10

know, it’s not to say that they’re not worth exploring, but [I] wouldn’t rely on them as a real climate mitigation strategy.”

Apart from the scarcity of feedlotready solutions, Lilliston points to factory farming itself – an industrial system hell-bent on continual growth - as the main culprit.

“Even if you’re able to reduce emissions a small amount by some of these scienti c advances, if you’re going to continue to grow and expand the number of animals that are part of that system, then you’re going to negate those gains,” he said.

He thinks of the emerging technologies as a distraction from the bigger question that we’re not asking: how many beef and dairy cows do we need in this country? After all, a more immediate solution to the livestock methane conundrum is to have fewer cows.

“Reducing the cattle herd is the clearest way to reduce actual emissions,” Lilliston said.

Of course, a smaller cattle herd would mean less meat and dairy on the market, which would impact consumers’ meal choices. It’s a situation John Tauzel doesn’t nd feasible.

“For various reasons, whether that’s social, whether that’s economic, livestock products are going to continue to be part of a signicant portion of the global diet for the foreseeable future,” Tauzel said. at’s why he believes advancing research on livestock methane emissions is critical.

“If people choose to eat a hamburger, we want to make sure that when they eat that hamburger, it has the lowest methane footprint possible,” Tauzel said.

As for Place, she wants to nd solutions that simultaneously work for consumers, cattlemen and the climate.

“At the end of the day, we want to make sure we create practical solutions that can be adopted in the real world,” Place said.

After all, people like their burgers. It just might be easier to alter the microbiome of an animal’s gut than it is to change the cravings of a hungry planet.

Calls for metro district reform mount

ed about $764 million in bonds that it can issue to investors. e debt incurred by these bonds would be paid back by Baseline homeowners over the next several decades.

“ ese practices should be far more heavily regulated than they are,” Sorensen added.

Metro districts and homebuilding

BY ROBERT DAVIS YELLOW SCENE MAGAZINE

Andrew Sorensen and his wife Samantha were elated when they bought their home in Broom eld’s Baseline neighborhood in September 2022 after nearly a year of bidding on homes that were overpriced and uninhabitable in some cases.

However, Sorensen said that excitement quickly turned to trepidation after the couple learned that their home was controlled by a metropolitan district, a controversial tool that Colorado developers use to build homes.

Sorensen’s home is part of Baseline Metropolitan District 3, one of nine metro districts that are responsible for developing homes and maintaining the necessary infrastructure like roads, water lines, and sewer systems. Colorado law also allows metro districts to issue bonds to nance its work, and those bonds are often paid back through property tax mill levies.

So far, the metro district has codi-

ere’s just one catch: e board members that set the Baseline Metropolitan District’s tax levels all work for McWhinney Real Estate Services, the developer building the neighborhood.

“When McWhinney owns the land, the rights to develop it, and the right to charge Coloradans whatever the company would like to nance the project via bonds, can you call it anything but self-dealing?” Sorensen asked Colorado lawmakers in February.

Like other homeowners in Colorado, Sorensen wants greater transparency and responsiveness from his metropolitan district’s governing board. For example, Sorensen said he and his neighbors don’t know if McWhinney is charging them a fair price for their development services.

He added that they also have no say in whether McWhinney raises the district’s mill levy in the future. is could e ectively price Sorensen, and other homeowners, out of the neighborhood if they are unable to keep up with property tax increases, he said.

Metropolitan districts have come under increasing scrutiny in recent years as Colorado’s challenges with housing a ordability continue to fester.

ese districts were created in the 1980s to help solve a very practical problem. Colorado’s economy was under signi cant pressure as employment nosedived in government, retail, and hospitality due to enormous speculation in the state’s housing market. As a result, local government tax receipts declined and caused them to be nancially unable to support new infrastructure and community development projects even as the state’s population increased.

Metro districts o ered tax-hobbled jurisdictions an alternative nancing model for infrastructure projects. Instead of only using tax subsidies, metro districts can raise debt from private investors by selling bonds and use those proceeds to fund construction. ese districts then collect property taxes from homeowners to pay for their maintenance expenses.

In 2000, there were about 200

metro districts in Colorado. Today, there are more than 2,300 metro districts in Colorado, according to the Special District Association of the Division of Local Government. Groups like the Colorado Association of Home Builders say metro districts can improve housing a ordability by reducing the per unit infrastructure costs by between $30,000 and $40,000. But homeowners like Sorensen think there need

Homeowners fed up with metro districts but changes are hard to come by

to be more safeguards in place to limit the amount of debt that metro districts can issue.

For example, the more than $760 million in bonds that the Baseline Metropolitan District can issue is about 72% greater than the city and county of Broom eld’s total outstanding debt, according to Broom eld’s latest comprehensive nancial statement. Collectively, the 2,300 metro districts in Colorado hold more than $1 trillion in debt, which dwarfs the state of Colorado’s more than $37 billion of total debt.

“Unchecked, some of thesenancial structures could easily lead down a road of mass foreclosures or whole communities defaulting,” Sorensen said.

Metro districts also don’t seem to be helping to make Colorado homes more a ordable. Colorado’s median home price has skyrocketed by more than 93% over the last decade from about $288,000 to more than $558,000 as of March 2023.

Rents for a two-bedroom apartment in major cities like Denver and Boulder have also increased signi cantly. In Denver, rents have increased by 120% from about $830 in 2013 to about $1,967 today,

according to data from RentCafe. Boulder’s average rent has increased by 137% over the same time period, from about $1,060 to more than $2,300, according to RentCafe.

Recent reform e orts

Despite some glaring issues with

metro districts, legislative reform efforts have been hard to come by in part because of the strong lobbying efforts from developers.

Colorado lawmakers introduced multiple bills during the 2023 legislative session aimed at metro districts. One bill, House Bill 23-1090, sought to prohibit the directors of metro districts from purchasing the bonds that they issue through another entity. It was introduced by Democrat Rep. Mike Weisman of Aurora and Sen. Robert Rodriguez of Denver.

Weisman told the House Finance Committee that the bill is designed to create “higher restraint” on the part of metro district directors before they issue debt on behalf of the homeowners they represent.

“I want to be clear that there is a role for government debt. The state has it for school and fire districts,” Weisman told the committee. “But in just about every other case, those who purchase the debt do so at an arm’s length from those who issue it.”

districts regarding the debt issued and requires the entity to get the opinion of a registered municipal advisor regarding the market fairness of the debt incurred.

SB23-110 also gained the support of many lobbyists who did not support HB23-1090 such as the Adams County Regional Economic Partnership, the Colorado Infrastructure Council, and the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce.

Supporters of the bill like Maryann McGeady, an attorney with McGeady Becher P.C., a law firm that represents special districts, told lawmakers that SB23-110 ensures there is a standard set of best practices for all metro districts to follow. This includes clarifying information that needs to be included in a metro district’s service plan and which entities will be responsible for maintaining the district after it is complete.

However, HB23-1090 attracted significant pushback from groups like the Associated Builders and Contractors Rocky Mountain Chapter, the International Council of Shopping Centers, and the Colorado Chamber of Commerce to name a few. The Senate Local Government & Housing Committee voted to postpone the bill indefinitely by a 4-3 margin at the end of March.

Instead, lawmakers passed Senate Bill 23-110, a bipartisan bill that explicitly allows metro district directors to purchase this kind of debt. SB23-110 also requires additional transparency from metro

But Colorado residents like Alex Plotkin, who lives in Boulder, told lawmakers that SB23-110 would simply add to the financial problems that homeowners in metro districts face.

“Statewide, this is becoming a multi-billion dollar issue with no signs of abating,” Plotkin told lawmakers in March. “So as the citizens of Colorado are struggling financially, representatives at all levels are further exacerbating the issue by enabling additional financial burden on countless citizens who have no say in the matter.”

Governor Jared Polis signed SB23-110 into law on April 3.

Golden baseball fi nishes historic season as 4A state runner-up

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

PUEBLO — It wasn’t the hardware Golden’s baseball program wanted to drive home with June 3, but a Class 4A state runner-up trophy is one that should be proudly displayed forever at Golden High School.

“It’s only the third time we’ve been here in the school’s history and rst time in 20 years,” Golden coach Jackie McBroom said of the Demons making the state championship game at Rawlings Field in Pueblo against Severance. “It is de nitely an accomplishment.”

In the end, the No. 6-seeded Silver Knights of Severance took a 1-0 victory over No. 4 Golden to win the school’s rst ever state team title. e lone run was scored in the top of the second inning when Severance senior Joe Tamburro scored on a pitch that got away from Golden senior catch Noah Wicks.

“I’m proud of everyone. We just played great team baseball,” Wicks said. “We knew what we were going into. We knew we had a great team. We made the championship game which was our goal. Sadly, we didn’t win, but we had a great season. I’m proud of everyone.”

Golden (25-6 record) had a di cult road to the championship game. After a solid 9-0 shutout victory over Summit during the opening round of the double-elimination state tournament May 26, the No. 4-seeded Demons su ered an 8-5 loss that same day to top-seeded Holy Family, sending Golden into the consolation bracket.

e uphill battle begun. Golden stayed alive with a 8-1 victory over Riverdale Ridge on May 27 at Mountain Lion Stadium at UCCS to advance to the Final Four last weekend.

Seniors Laif Palmer and Wicks — who got the wins on the mound against Summit and Riverdale Ridge — both had brilliant pitching

performances Friday, June 2, at UCHealth Park in Colorado Springs.

Palmer had 13 strikeouts in a 3-2 victory over Lutheran. It would be the nal game the hard-throwing righty would pitch in a Demon uniform. Palmer has committed to Oregon State University, but will likely get selected in the Major League Baseball Draft coming up in early July to give him the option to turn pro.

“I’m proud of every single one of these guys,” Palmer said. “ e whole year all of them played their hearts out. I love all these guys. It just sucks it had to end this way, but we had one hell of a season.”

Wicks not only came in to get the nal out against the Lions when Palmer hit his 110-pitch count, Wicks threw a complete-game 3-hitter against Holy Family in a 4-1 Golden win Friday

afternoon.

e victories June 2 sent Golden into Saturday’s situation to be in the championship game against Severance. e Silver Knights had the luxury of advancing straight to the title game after a 3-0 start to the tournament that included wins over Cheyenne Mountain, Pueblo County and Holy Family the pervious week.

Golden junior pitcher Braeden McCarroll was equally up the task Saturday against Severance with Palmer and Wicks not in the mix to pitch after combining for 200 pitches on the hill Friday. e junior matched Severance ace Mason Bright to keep the Demons within reach.

“Braeden gave us a chance to win,” McBroom said. “He did just as good as (Palmer and Wicks) did. Give credit to their pitcher (Bright), but we needed to do better and scratching a run across.”

Bright was on top of his game on the mound throwing a complete-game shutout victory. Severance’s ace had only given up three singles — a pair by Wicks and one by sophomore Jaydon Stroup — through six innings.

Bright had only thrown 79 pitches going to the bottom of the seventh inning, but a leado triple by McCarroll give the Demons the opportunity to send the game into extra innings.

“He (Bright) is a very even-knelled kid,” Severance coach Kevin Johnson said of the senior that nearly threw 80 innings for the Silver Knights this season with an ERA below 2.00. “He made good pitches to get the strikeout and then the y out.”

Golden junior Noah Welte pinch-hit with no outs, but struck out. Senior Daine Hart hit a y ball to left eld. Severance left elder Brycen Farris made the catch and red to third baseman Noah Hertzke. Silver Knight catcher Angie Dominguez caught the

throw from Hertzke and put down the tag on Golden sophomore Andrew Romero, who came in to pinch-run for McCarroll.

e home-plate umpire called Romero out on the close play at the plate for the nal out of the game.

“I actually threw it and thought we had one more out to go,” Farris said of his game-winning assist. “I was celebrating in the out eld thinking we had just got the second out and then I saw the dogpile and ran in. It’s surreal. It really is.”

Bright picked up his 12th victory of the season while relying on the stellar defense behind him that didn’t commit an error in the 12th straight victory for the Silver Knights (23-6) to end the season.

“Brycen had a wonderful throw from the outfield that won us that game,” Bright said. “I’m very thankful for that.”

Golden had five baserunners in scoring position during the game, but couldn’t push a run across the plate.

“It was a bang-bang play at the plate. That’s just how it works out sometimes,” McBroom said of the final play.

Severance High School opened its doors in August of 2019. The Silver Knights faced Golden High School, which is the oldest continuously operating high school in Colorado having opened in 1873…150 years ago.

“We just started this school four years ago,” Bright said. “I’m on top of the world right now.”

The 4A state championship game was scheduled to be played at 10 a.m. Saturday at UCHealth Park in Colorado Springs. The decision was made round 9 a.m. that the field in Colorado Springs was unplayable due to wet conditions, so the game was moved to a 3 p.m. in Pueblo after the 2A state championship game.

“Both teams played very well. It was four hits to four hits. It was a very even ballgame,” Johnson said. “Both kids pitched their behinds off.”

McCarroll will likely step into the roll of the Demons’ top pitcher next season with the graduation of Palmer and Wicks.

“I just want to tell Braeden

to keep doing what he is doing,” Wicks said. “He is a great baseball player. A great pitcher and honestly, a very good dude overall.”

Golden graduated seven seniors — Palmer, Wicks, Hart, Jaydon Hord, Hayden Carbone, Xavier Nuss and Jonathan Coche-

nour —that helped lead the Demons to a third straight 4A Jeffco League title along with the deepest playoff run since Golden won the 4A state title back in 2003.

“I think we set the tone for the next few seasons,” Palmer said. “We are a winning program. This should set the bar. We’ve got

great coaching and great kids coming through the program. I think everyone is a gritty player and plays their heart out.”

JEFFERSON COUNTY PUBLIC NOTICE

PUBLICATION DATE: June 8, 2023

Substantial Amendments to the Jefferson County Community Development Block Grant and Home Investment Partnerships 2021 and 2022 Annual Action Plans

Jefferson County’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) 2021 One-Year Action Plan was approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in November 2021 and the 2022 One-Year Action Plan was approved in November 2022. Communities applying for CDBG and HOME funding must submit an Annual Action Plan in order to receive these grant funds.

There are two purposes to these amendments:

1. To add the FY 2021 allocation of the HOME Investment Partnerships Program – American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) funding in the amount of $3,584,662 to the 2021 Action Plan. The American Rescue Plan appropriated $5 billion to help communities provide housing, shelter and services for people experiencing homelessness and other qualifying populations. These grant funds will be used for two separate projects: Approximately $1 million will be used for the purchase and/or rehabilitation of a motel to provide permanent supportive housing and temporary non-congregate shelter; and, the remaining funds will be used for the acquisition, rehabilitation and/or construction of a non-congregate shelter. Both locations will serve all qualifying populations under the HOMEARP regulations.

2. To increase the total 2022 CDBG allocation from the amount originally submitted in the 2022 Action Plan of $1,087,949 to include an additional $45,918 allocated through the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 reallocated metropolitan area entitlement funds under Section 106(c) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. The total amended allocation for the 2022 CDBG program year is $1,133,867. The additional grant funds will be allocated to assist with the acquisition of a site in the Evergreen area, for the development of for-sale affordable housing.

The Substantial amendments to the 2021 Action Plan and the 2022 Action Plan will be submitted to HUD on or after July 12, 2023, following a 30day public comment period and public meeting. The county invites public review of the 2021 and 2022 Action Plan Amendments June 8 – July 10, 2023. The plan can be accessed on the County’s website at: https://www.jeffco.us/2667/Planning or by contacting Emily Sander, Community Development Manager, at 303-248-6318 or esander@

jeffco.us.

Jefferson County Community Development will hold a virtual public meeting for the 2021 and 2022 Action Plan amendments on June 29, 2023, at 9:00AM, accessed at: https://jeffco.webex.com/ meet/esander. The purpose of the meeting will be for the public to ask questions regarding the 2021-2022 Substantial Amendments.

In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA"), Interpretive services for persons with hearing impairments or persons of limited English proficiency (LEP) will be provided upon request. Please contact Emily Sander at 303-248-6318 or esander@jeffco.us at least 72 hours in advance of the event if interpretive services or special accommodations are needed. You can also use the TTY line at 303-980-7335. The Action Plan Amendments may be made available in Spanish upon request.

NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS Date of Publication: June 8, 2023 Jefferson County Community Development 3500 Illinois Street Golden, CO 80401 303-248-6318 esander@jeffco.us

This notice shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by Jefferson County Community Development.

REQUEST FOR THE RELEASE OF FUNDS

On or about June 24, 2023, Jefferson County Community Development will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on behalf of Metro West Housing Solutions for the release of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds under Title II of the Cranston-Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 as amended, to undertake the following project:

Project Title: Belmar Groves

Purpose: The purpose of the project is for Metro West Housing Solutions to rehabilitate an existing affordable 118-unit family development in Lakewood, CO. This extensive rehab will include interior upgrades to kitchens and bathrooms, exterior updates including new siding, new roofs, landscaping, and system (water/sewer) upgrades. HOME funds will be used to pay for the rehabilitation costs for the property located at 259 S. Teller Street in Lakewood. The property serves residents earning on average up to 50% of the area median income.

Location: 259 South Teller Street, Lakewood, CO 80226

Estimated Cost: HOME funds through Jefferson County: $500,000.00

Total Project Cost: $59,044,318.00

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT

Jefferson County Community Development has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. An Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), therefore, is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR). The ERR will be made available to the public for review electronically via email, or by mailed hard copy by request. Please submit your request, weekdays 8 A.M. to 5 P.M., to Jefferson County at esander@jeffco.us or by phone at 303-248-6318.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to Jefferson County. All comments received by June 23, 2023, at 5 P.M., will be considered by Jefferson County prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION

Jefferson County certifies to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development that Kat Douglas, Director, Housing, Economic and Employment Services Division, in her capacity as Certifying Officer consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows Jefferson County Housing Authority, d/b/a Foothills Regional Housing to use Program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO THE RELEASE OF FUNDS

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will accept objections to its release of funds and Jefferson County Community Development’s certification for a period of 15 days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are made on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of Jefferson County Community Development; (b) Jefferson County Community Development has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs, or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before the approval of a release of funds by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; or (d) another Federal agency, acting pursuant to 40 CFR part 1504, has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality.

Objections must be prepared and submitted via email in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to Noemi Ghirghi, CPD Region VIII Director, at CPD_COVID-19OEE-DEN@hud.gov.

Potential objectors should contact CPD_COVID-19OEE-DEN@hud.gov to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

State breathes life into lifeguard training

More than $250,000 allocated to help open pools across the Front Range

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Countless public pools opened over the Memorial Day weekend as schools let out and summer approaches. But whether they remain open throughout the season is another matter.

e state of Colorado is boosting aid along the Front Range and across the state to help local pools avoid that outcome.

Gov. Jared Polis announcednancial help on May 30 for nearly 50 cities and districts as part of the Lifeguard Training Initiative — a follow-up to his administration’s Pools Special Initiative, launched last summer.

e initiative was announced early this month at the Northglenn Recreation Center, along with administrators, local o cials, lawmakers and community members.

“We are making a splash with this exciting support for lifeguards, part of our ongoing work to make sure that pools can safely open earlier, expand hours, and stay open longer this summer,” Polis said in his announcement.

“We are thrilled that so many local governments across the state applied for this funding so that families,

friends, and neighbors can dive right into the summer.”

e grants, implemented by the state’s local a airs and labor departments, ranged from $1,000 requests to $20,000, the maximum. In the end, the state allocated mixed amounts, but exhausted almost all of the available funds, leaving just $200 to potentially allocate supplementally..

South Suburban Parks and Recreation District (SSPRD), which reported a signi cant shortage of lifeguards earlier in the month, received $10,700 — the highest-allocated amount awarded to more than a dozen districts or cities. Cities like Aurora and Boulder received the same amount.

Part of the shortage lies with the expensive cost of training lifeguards. Many prospective employees may be dissuaded by the idea of paying to obtain lifeguard certi cation. ough it won’t solve the main shortage problem, having the funding helps, said SSPRD Aquatics Manager Karl Brehm, who came down from a lifeguard stand himself to talk to Colorado Community Media.

“It will help us reach a demographic that is lacking in having the funds upfront to start,” Brehm said. “With the grant, we will defer the payment of those [lifeguard] certi cation

Brehm said South Suburban, like many other area pools, must hire throughout the season to try and maintain strong employee numbers.

e funds from the state help provide time for pools to keep hiring and training ongoing, Brehm added. He described the support as not a favor, however, but a public service.

“It hearkens to a safety situation. People want to have the pools open. We want to have them open. But there’s a barrier that stands there,”
