Man accused of killing Sheri ’s K-9 hires new attorney

Romero now set to enter plea Nov. 27

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLOROADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Lakewood man who reportedly killed a Je erson County Sheri K-9 and pointed a gun at a Golden police o cer has had his arraignment one last time, after his new attorney asked for additional time to review discovery and confer with his client.

Eduardo Romero, 29, is now scheduled to enter a plea at 2 p.m. Nov. 27. Romero, who’s in Colorado Department of Corrections custody, will appear virtually for the hearing at the Je erson County Courthouse.

Romero was arrested Feb. 13 for reportedly eeing police near the Colorado School of Mines campus and shooting K-9 Gra t, who was trying to apprehend him.  e District Attorney’s O ce led eight

charges against Romero, including felony charges of aggravated cruelty to animals, identity theft, motor vehicle theft and menacing.

Romero appeared virtually at his Oct. 3 hearing, where his new attorney told the judge how he’d been hired only the week before. e attorney said he’d only received discovery in the case on Sept. 29, and hadn’t had a chance to discuss it with Romero yet.

He asked Judge Jason Carrithers for at least a six-week continuance, which the prosecution didn’t object to and which Carrithers granted. However, both Carrithers and the prosecutor stressed that they wanted to conclude this case soon, as it’s been in the judicial system since February and has been continued several times.

e Feb. 13 incident

As described at the May 9 preliminary hearing, around 12:15 a.m. Feb. 13, a Mines campus o cer and GPD o cer contacted a white Jeep blocking a street near the campus.

Romero, the vehicle’s only oc-cupant, was slumped over the steering wheel with his foot on the brake. He later told o cers he’d been drinking and smoking marijuana during a Super Bowl party in Denver.

LEARNING TO LOVE YOUR ENEMIES

Romero woke up enough to start driving the Jeep less than 10 mph westbound on 19th Street, across the U.S. Highway 6 overpass. e two o cers followed and “pinched” the Jeep in to prevent it from moving again. Romero then reportedly started ramming the Jeep into the patrol cars.

e GPD o cer broke the driver’s side window to grab ahold of Romero, but he slipped free and ran eastbound on 19th Street. e o cer chased him until Romero reportedly pointed a gun toward the o cer, who dove out of the way.

Meanwhile, Romero ran into heavy shrubbery on the northeast side of U.S. 6. Local agencies set up a perimeter, and Deputy Zachary Oliver released K-9 Gra t into the brush to apprehend Romero.

Romero later told detectives that he recognized a “cop dog” was coming toward him. He said the dog didn’t bite him, and he denied pointing his handgun at the dog but “heard the gun re a round.”

He assumed he shot the ground. After hiding from police, Romero turned himself in around 5 a.m. Feb. 13. Once he was in custody, investigators reportedly found he’d used a stolen passport to buy a hotel room. e Jeep he’d been driving was also listed as stolen.

A necropsy con rmed K-9 Gra t died from bullets matching Romero’s gun, Golden Police detectives stated at the May 9 preliminary hearing.

Gra t, who’d been with JCSO since 2015, died at the scene Feb. 13.

Oliver, his handler, has memorialized Gra t as a K-9 who never backed down from a task. He was also a very social dog who loved attention at home and at work.

“He was my partner, my best friend, and most of all, my family,” Oliver said at Gra t’s memorial service Feb. 27. ” … He gave his life that day. He took a bullet that wasn’t meant for him.”

In the wake of Gra t’s death, community members from Je erson County and beyond donated money and supplies toward the Sheri ’s K-9 unit. Oliver and another deputy have new K-9 partners, who were scheduled to be in training through September.

I Found a Company Selling ‘Self-Powered’ Ma nufactured Homes Starting at $310,000

If you attended last Saturday’s tour of green homes, you saw 15 homes which were showcasing the way toward allelectric net zero energy home construction. All of them, however, were built onsite.

In the past I have written about manufactured housing, and this week I discovered a relatively new company, born in Canada, which combines manufactured housing with net zero energy design. In fact, the homes are designed to be totally self-sufficient and can be combined with similar homes to form what’s called a microgrid, making them totally resilient in terms of energy.

They are also built of steel and designed to withstand wildfires because

they lack any attic or crawl space openings which would allow embers to enter the structure.

The company is called Dvele, and I urge you to browse their website, www.Dvele.com. They manufacture 20 models ranging from 1 bedroom/1 bathroom for $310,000 to 4 bedrooms/4½ baths for $1,050,000 — plus shipping on flatbed trailers to your build site.

At right is the “Beaufort” model featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 baths for $462,000. They promise to manufacture the home’s two modules in 16 days.

The homes come with enough solar panels to power the home for four occupants, with batteries to store enough

My Advice to Buyers About Inspecting Homes

First of all, always hire a professional inspector recommended by your agent. With my two decades of representing buyers, you can be confident that I would recommend the best inspector, whether you’re buying a new or existing home. (Don’t think you don’t need to inspect a new home!)

Your inspector will (or should) take 3 hours to inspect a home, and only slightly less time to inspect a condo or townhome. Be sure to attend the inspection yourself. You don’t need to stalk the inspector, but be available for him (or her) to show you any issues that are uncovered. He/she will also show you things you’ll want to know as a homeowner, such as where the water and gas turnoffs are located.

Your inspector will create a lengthy printed report that you should receive as a PDF by email. Authorize him to send a copy to your agent. This report should include photographs illustrating all the issues which he uncovered. The urgent issues should be highlighted and compiled in a “client advisory” of its own.

You don’t want to put every issue into the “Inspection Objection” which your

agent will present to the listing agent. Remember that it’s the inspector’s job to identify every single problem whether important or not. That does not mean you should demand the seller to fix every single item.

Your Inspection Objection should, in my opinion, only include “hidden defects.” For example, when you made your offer, you were aware of the old carpet and the cracks in the driveway. Those were not “hidden defects.” And remember that it’s a negotiation. Be prepared for some back and forth as the listing agent submits an Inspection Resolution which does not include everything you asked for.

As a buyer, a professional inspection is the best money you’ll spend, because it can uncover costly defects. Your inspector will ask if you want to order a radon test and a sewer scope. Say yes. Those can uncover repairs that the seller can reasonably be expected to pay for, each costing thousands of dollars.

In a bidding war, your agent may suggest waiving inspection objection. Okay, but do not waive inspection termination! And still hire a professional inspector.

solar-generated electricity to allow it to function indefinitely, assuming normal intermittent sunlight. (All bets are off if an asteroid or nuclear explosion blocks out the sun.)

The home is airtight, with an energy recovery ventilator (ERV, which I’ve written about in the past) to bring in conditioned fresh air.

If you’re a survivalist with some acreage in a wilderness that’s accessible by semis with flatbed trailer and portable crane, and have a half million dollar budget, Dvele might have the perfect luxury solution for you! I’m not a survivalist, and it has me thinking!

Dvele’s mission is to sell “high performance” homes using advanced materials and state-of-the-art manufacturing to produce energy efficient, climate resilient homes. They have trademarked both Self-Powered and Self-Healing to describe their “health-centric” homes.

As stated on their website, “We must stop accepting homes that make us sick, destroy our environment, and weaken

our access to energy. It turns out when you produce a home focused on health and longevity, you get a beautiful space that improves your daily life, creates energy security, and reduces your impact on the planet.”

My kind of company! I’ve signed up for their monthly online conversation.

Native American performers share their stories, cultures at Golden museum’s Autumn Fest

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLOROADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For Raelene Whiteshield, there’s something special about dancing in Golden.

Whiteshield is of Cheyenne and Arapaho descent — people who call Golden home. So, sharing her family’s traditional dances on their ancestral lands is “signi cant for me,” she said.

Whiteshield and her daughter

Josie Running Wolf showcased the jingle dress dance Oct. 1 at the Golden History Museum & Park’s Autumn Fest, alongside other Native American artists.

e museum’s third annual Autumn Fest spanned the entire campus, o ering families a chance to learn about various aspects of Colorado history, ora, fauna, minerals and more. Activities ranged from learning wilderness survival skills to examining Civil War-era artifacts and replicas.

Nathan Richie, museum director, said the goal was to o er a signature program for families and activate both the park and museum spaces. He thanked the museum’s cultural partners who participated in the event.

Among the festivities were hourly performances by Native American dancers, drummers, singers and a utist.

Steve LaPointe, a dancer who also served as the group’s emcee, said most of the dancers made their own regalia, including cloth, beadwork, bustles, hairpieces and headdresses.

e Autumn Fest performances were “our representation of a modern powwow,” he continued, showcasing several styles of men’s and women’s dances, and a friend-

ship dance with attendees at the end.

While many of the dancers and drummers also performed at last year’s Autumn Fest, Denver-based utist Calvin Standing Bear, Jr. was new to the event.

e second-generation utist of Lakota and Navajo descent said his dad is a longtime utist who’s still active and has made some of his own utes.

After watching his dad for many years, Standing Bear started formally learning the instrument ve years ago, adding that it’s one of the oldest instruments in human history. In playing it, he said, he recognized how it was “crafted from a tree that sacriced its life to make music.”

He played songs for attendees after the dancers and drummers nished performing and said he was “honored to be part of this event and represent our people.”

‘To showcase who we are’

As LaPointe told the crowd that had gathered to watch the performances, most of the dancers serve on the museum’s Native American Advisory Board, which was formed about a year ago.

e board has eight members whose backgrounds span about 15 tribal nations and peoples. LaPointe, who is of Lakota descent, described how he and his fellow board members act as liaisons between the museum and Native American communities. ey focus on inclusivity and giving their input on proposed or ongoing museum exhibits, programs and collections.

Among its current projects, the board is helping the museum plan a Native American arbor at the history park. Richie said construction will begin soon and should be done by the end of the year. Additionally, the museum is planning a Native American exhibit for 2024 and an even larger one in 2026 for Colorado’s 150th anniversary, he continued.

Whiteshield, who’s also on the board, said the museum’s done a lot of engagement and acknowledgment with the board members and other Native American community members over the last year. On top of all the other projects, she said hosting the performers at Autumn Fest was a good opportunity “to showcase who we are,” she said.

Whiteshield and LaPointe both stressed how Native Americans aren’t just “past gures,” as Whiteshield described, but people who lead regular lives like everyone else.

“We’re a living, thriving piece of our modern community,” LaPointe said. “We’re your neighbors who have a living presence here.”

Paralyzed woman summits Colorado’s highest peak

BY KIT GEARY SUMMIT DAILY NEWS

In a matter of minutes, Chris Shively Layne went from being a lifelong athlete with a long list of hikes to tackle to thinking she would never hike again.

Layne was ecstatic when her 17-year-old son invited her on his birthday hike. It’s not every day that a teenager invites his mom to hang out with him and his friends. Yet, that sunny day in October 2016 started o like a dream and ended like a nightmare.

Seven steps into her hike, Layne lost her footing in Clear Creek Canyon. She fell 80 feet. On his birthday, her son had to assume the role of rst responder.

“My son ran down to get me. He said that when he got there he checked my pulse and could not nd one, and I was not breathing,” Layne said.

She eventually regained consciousness and realized she had raised her right arm during the fall, protecting her head from what would have been an extreme impact with a boulder. Layne looked around and realized that she had landed on the only pile of leaves in the area, cushioning her fall.

“I began to move my body … and immediately realized I could not move my legs. It was at that moment I realized I was paralyzed,” Layne said.

From that day on, Layne would spend the rest of her life paralyzed from the chest down.

Fast forward years later, Layne eventually found her way back to recreation. On Sep. 10, she summited the highest peak in Colorado, Mount Elbert.

With the assistance of 51 volunteers and a trail rider, a mobility device that uses a single wheel to help navigate narrow trails, Layne made it to the

top of the 14,438-foot peak. Having been paralyzed for nearly seven years now, Shivley said she would have never imagined that she could climb another 14er.

“I thought I’d never hike again — never mind summit the highest peak in Colorado,” Layne said.

“ ere’s no way I would have achieved this goal without the help of e Lockwood Foundation and these volunteers.”

Layne’s path back to recreation began when she heard about e Lockwood Foundation through two of her friends that had also summited Mt. Elbert with the organization. One had cerebral palsy, and the other had Lou Gehrig’s disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disease that a ects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. e organization’s goal is to get a person living with a di erent disability to summit Mt. Elbert each year.

e Lockwood Foundation and Layne got in touch and set a goal to get a person in a wheelchair due to a spinal cord injury to summit the highest peak in Colorado.

e team with the Lockwood Foundation set up camp at 11,700 feet to prepare for the summit bid. With a 5:45 a.m. start time, the team was back by the afternoon.

e adventure also included camping, an activity that Layne had not had the opportunity to do in nine years.

“It was my rst 14er and my rst time camping in 9 years, and it was the day of the rst snow, making things more magical,” Layne said.

“I got to be on top of the world again,” Layne added.

Layne remains on a mission to shed light on accessible recreation to prove people with mobility issues have opportunities to recreate. ese days she said her motto is “get up and get rolling.”

Georgetown packed with leaf peepers as aspens turn golden

BY CHRIS KOEBERL CKOEBERL@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e color palette of fall in the mountains is the green pine and the gold of the aspens, a yearly occurrence that draws on-lookers to Georgetown from around the country and the world, Tala Sonesen with the Georgetown Visitors Center said.

e last week has been the peak for visitors, Sonesen said.

“Saturday and Sunday we were packed,” she said of Sept. 30 and Oct. 1. “ e whole town was full. We were completely out of capacity.”

Mostly tourists but some locals were in town to gaze at the leaves. is is probably the busiest time of year for Georgetown, Sonesen said.

at’s saying a lot for a visitors center that sees at least 450,000 people come through the doors every year, according to Sonesen. Georgetown merchants say the in ux of customers is a welcome sight, but it takes planning.

“We start preparing to order gifts and retail items in February just so it’s available at this time of year,” said Scott Goeringer, Owner of Georgetown Valley Candy Company on Sixth St. in Georgetown.

Inside, the candy company shelves are stocked with trinkets and gifts, but behind the counter is where the good stu is: dozens of kinds of homemade candies, chocolate and lots of ice cream.

Guanella Pass

A popular path to see the vibrantly changing colors is Guanella Pass, which winds through the mountains between Interstate 70 and Highway 285 from Georgetown to Grant.

From the top of the pass, you can see 14,000-foot mountain peaks, including Mount Bierstadt and Mount. Blue Sky.

A line of cars could be seen Sept. 4, winding up the pass through sharp turns and the occasional bighorn sheep.

Leaf-peepers, as they’re sometimes known, are out on paths

or the side of the road with their cameras capturing the colors. License plates from California, Utah, Nevada and Texas are just a few seen going up or coming down.

e peak season to witness the

colors to change starts in midSeptember and usually runs until November, according to Sonesen. e wind is starting to strip the trees of some of their leaves but it’s still pretty, she said.

A Colorado museum exhibit explores cowboy culture, the archetypal and the authentic

BY PARKER YAMASAKI THE COLORADO SUN

In 2019, Emmanuel David, a gender and sexuality researcher at CU Boulder, and Yumi Roth, a sculpture professor at CU Boulder, were searching the archives for a Filipino presence in Colorado. Nestled into an 1899 routebook of Bu alo Bill’s Wild West, the world-famous traveling show, David found the names of three Filipino Rough Riders: Ysidora Alcantara, Felix Alcantara, and Geronimo Ynosincio.

From this discovery, David and Roth developed a traveling art project called “We Are Coming,” a nod to Bu alo Bill’s promotional poster from the time that declared “I am coming,” which displays the three names on vintage theater marquis in towns where the show historically stopped.

“When we think about Bu alo Bill’s Wild West, we think about the personage of Bu alo Bill. e guy in the Stetson, with the white hair and the lovely deerskin jacket,” Roth said.  “What we’re interested in doing is (looking at) what happens when you invert that relationship, so that Buffalo Bill is not the central character anymore,” Roth said.

“Part of it is like: What can you excavate from a partial archive that is designed around someone?” David added. “We can nd the fragments of their lives and create something out of that.”

at is largely the goal of the Museum of Contemporary Art’s upcoming exhibition, “Cowboy,” where “We Are Coming” will be displayed alongside the work of 25 other artists. Together, the works examine the cultural gure of the cowboy — including the negative space around him. Some artworks deconstruct the myth of the character, while others pay homage to the cowboy’s enduring livelihood and culture. e exhibition opened Sept. 29.

Even with cattle ranchlands across the West shrinking overall, Colorado still has about 2.6 million heads of cattle, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the labor that comes with tending those cattle is the everyday reality for many in

Colorado.

“How do we acknowledge both the fantasy and the seduction of the cowboy gure as depicted in popular culture in Hollywood?”

Nora Abrams, the show’s co-curator asked. “And yet, also acknowledge that for many people this is a real, lived experience that is a daily part of life, it’s real work, it’s real labor, it’s real livelihood.”

In other words, the curators wanted to lean into the myth, while keeping their feet planted in the reality. But what even is that reality?

“I think our idea of a cowboy is largely in uenced by books and tall tales from that time. And I know they weren’t really interested in accuracy on any level,” artist R. Alan Brooks, who writes a comic for e Colorado Sun, said. Last year Brooks created a comic book about Black cowboy Nat Love for Denver Art Museum’s Western galleries.

Brooks pored over Nat Love’s biography to pull out the key moments to excerpt in the comic.

“ ere’s a story in Nat Love’s book where he lassos a train, and his horse gets dragged into a ditch, then he walks into a bar and shoots it up and forces the bartender to serve his horse a drink. Is that true?” Brooks asked. “I don’t know. But what’s more interesting to me is nding the humanity beyond the gure.”

Nat Love was 11 when slavery ended, Brooks said. But throughout his life, both before and after slavery, he writes in his autobiography about the freedom he feels when he’s riding his horse. “ e horse represented freedom for him throughout his whole life. To me, that was the human connection,” Brooks said.

For the MCA show, Brooks created a new comic book, this one about the historic town of Dear eld, the largest Black homesteading settlement in Colorado.

While Brooks addresses the historical record, other works add the contemporary one. Juan Fuentes, a Chicano artist based in San Francisco, will show a series of photographs of the immigrant community in Bennett, roughly 30 miles east of Denver, which focuses on the workers whose lives are inter-

twined with their animals and the changing landscape. e show will also include New Orleans-based photographer Akasha Rabut’s series “Southern Riderz,” a collection of photos about urban rider clubs.

“ ere are some artworks in the show that fall along the lines of the deconstructive impulse, like ‘you think the cowboy is this, it’s not that,’” Miranda Lash, the other co-curator, said. “But we also have a lot of works in the show that feel like love letters and homages. e show really toggles between the two impulses, you know, pulling apart, but also lifting up.”

SEE CULTURE, P12

In the 19th century, one-third of all cowboys were Mexican or Black, an aspect that has not been fully recognized over the last 150 years, Abrams said. It was important to the curators to honor that history. “Of course, in doing that it does unsettle the icon,” Abrams said. “An icon inevitably is something that’s pretty at, that is larger than life, that is more idea-based rather than concrete, and that really is what the cowboy has become in many ways.”

Like Roth and David’s piece, many of the artists took the opportunity to crack that de nition of what a cowboy is. Nathan Young, a Native American artist who comes from a long line of cowboys, borrowed artifacts from his family to create his MCA installation, which pays homage to famous Pawnee bull riders and rodeo stars. Karl Haendel sketched deeply detailed drawings of female barrel racers that he encountered at a Denver

rodeo. And Otis Kwame Kye Quaicoe, an artist who grew up in Ghana thinking that “cowboy” meant “American,” created a series of paintings full of Black cowboys and ordinary Black people in cowboy attire.

“ e West, it’s always been this ‘thing’ in our culture, in our American psyche,” Nikki Todd, founder of Visions West Contemporary Gallery said. Todd was enamored by the images in traditional Western Art — the plains, the bu alo, of course, the cowboy — but understood the limitations of those images. She started Visions West in Montana in 2000 to show Western art that wasn’t stereotypically “Western.”

“ e cowboy has just saturated the imagination of Americans for decades — through lm, books, even marketing.” Todd said. “I think everybody knows what a cowboy is.”

His image comes forth repeatedly in times of crisis and ux.

“Cold War America: e heyday of Western lm. Turn of the millennium: “Wild Wild West,” Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears and their all-denim out ts, and

Paris Hilton’s ‘ e Simple Life,’” Lash said, a bit jokingly. Now we’ve got “Yellowstone.”

“As we emerge from a global pandemic, we’re questioning our relationship to the environment, to climate change, to global politics, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we’re into the idea of the gure that lives close to the land, that embodies freedom, a sense of liberation of movement — to me it tracks,” Lash said.

Both Abrams and Todd speculated — maybe the pandemic did give people a chance to leave their urban centers, to seek solitude and learn to live o the land.

“It’s just something that has

captured the imaginations of everyone,” Todd said. “ ere’s something about freedom, and just being tough, and the rugged individual, that we’re all drawn to. No matter what culture we’re from. You know, don’t we all want to ride o into the sunset on our horses?”

Je erson Symphony Orchestra is kicking o

Once the leaves start to fall from the trees and the weather gets a little cooler, a lot of things begin to change. We start wearing di erent clothes and shoes, we think about things like snow tires and whether the heater is working in the car, disconnecting the garden hoses and putting away the BBQ grill. We also start to move a lot of our outdoor activities indoors and there always seems to be a change in the focus in everything we do.

I don’t know if it’s just a throwback to when we were all kids and Summer was the “fun” season and we had to buckle down and get a bit more serious about everything once the school year started, but there always seems to be a bit more formality to a lot of our activities during the fall and winter. is came to my mind when I started looking at the details of this week’s event I’m going to highlight in today’s column. It’s a concert from a group that performs year-round, but their summer programs are a lot di erent than their regular season performances and so are the locations. During the warm weather, the group does concerts in the parks with picnic blankets and present a lighter style of popular music. But once their regular season rolls around, they tend to move

Parking management

In the article about Golden looking into a parking management company (Golden Transcript, 21 September 2023), the writer explained how a parking management company could simplify and coordinate the city’s existing parking system and even save money. But there was no mention made of the e ect that using such a management company would have on parking rates — an item of key interest to those who park in the city.

Golden City Manager Scott Vargo is also quoted saying, “We want to understand how we can make parking in Golden more user friendly…” e most obvious move

into performing the real-deal classical music by all the legendary composers and feature guest artists who never fail to dazzle their audiences with superb musicianship and technique.

Yes, its time for our Je erson Symphony Orchestra regular season and the program they have selected is going to feature a terri c combination of fun and serious music with an amazing piano soloist and the o cial debut of their new conductor and musical director.

It’s happening at the Green Center on the Colorado School of Mines Campus at 3 p.m. this Sunday, Oct.15.

e concert will be featuring Aaron Copeland’s El Salón México which was inspired by his rst visit to Mexico City in 1932. His friend Carlos Chávez took him to a colorful nightclub called “El Salón México,” and Copland immediately “felt, in a very natural and unaffected way, a close contact with the Mexican people. It wasn’t the music I heard, but the spirit that I felt there, which attracted me.” So,

he set about composing something he hoped would capture the whole vibe of the place and since then, it’s become an audience favorite.

Also on the program will be Antonín Dvo ák’s Symphony No. 9, also known as e New World Symphony. is piece was composed back in 1893 while he was the director of the National Conservatory of Music of America. It premiered in New York City and has become one of the most popular of all symphonies ever composed. Fun fact here, Astronaut Neil Armstrong took a tape recording of the New World Symphony along during the Apollo 11 mission, and sort of became the soundtrack for the rst Moon landing, in 1969.

But the highlight of the opening concert is going to be George Gershwin’s most famous composition, Rhapsody in Blue that’s about to celebrate it’s 100th birthday. It was on Feb. 12, 1924, that an audiencepacked New York’s Aeolian Hall rst got to hear it. But there was one problem. Gershwin had forgotten he was supposed to write a concerto until just two weeks before when he saw the concert’s ad in the New York Tribune. So, he had to kind of throw this thing together. e iconic opening clarinet glissando was only done as a joke during the dress rehearsal and

Gershwin had not yet actually even written down the solo piano part. He made it up live in the concert.

But, Rhapsody in Blue was an audience hit, with its rst recording selling over a million copies, a huge number for the time. And that solo piano part? Well, that has since become the most dramatic part of the entire thing and for this concert, it’s going to be performed by Guest Artist, Pianist Katie Mahan, who adds her signature air in what promises to be a stellar performance.

All of this is going to be conducted by Dr. Arturo González, who will be making his debut as the new JSO Music Director and Principal Conductor.

Tickets are available in advance by going to www.je symphony. org and run Adult $27, Senior (60+) $22, Student (ages 12-17) $10 and Children (11 and under) $5.

So, put on your long pants, grab a coat and we’ll see you there!

Firefighter opinion on mill levy request

Let me start this by being clear on my position, I am for a paid (or combination) municipal re department in the City of Golden. I am a paid re ghter myself for another local jurisdiction and I live in Golden.

What I am concerned about is a .45% property tax increase (6 mills) request to fund a municipal re department. is increase will

result in approximately $4.675 million in revenue to the city for the purpose of: “attracting and retaining re ghters, improving response times, ensuring appropriate equipment is on hand and purchasing vehicles”, according to Council Resolution 2996. is is as detailed as this request gets. When asked to pay for something for the remainder of my time as a resident of this city, I want to know exactly what I am paying for, how those funds will be used speci cally, and that all other avenues of revenue have been exhausted. A property tax increase should be a last resort. A mill levy is tied to the value of our homes and will only ever increase. It also places 100% of

the burden of funding for this re department on the residents of the city, while we are not using 100% of the services.

A municipal re department is normally funded through sales tax revenue. at places the funding burden for emergency services on both residents and guests alike – since both utilize the service. Fire districts, like West Metro, are funded through mill levy’s since they cross many jurisdictional lines. Golden is not a re district, nor is it asking to be.

e Golden Fire Department is also bit unique in that it responds onto a state university and into Jef-

Tips to protect child’s mental health from social media use

Social media can be a great tool to help build connections, stay informed and engage with others. However, it can become all-consuming and potentially damaging to adolescent brain development, which is a cause for concern.

A recent advisory issued by U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy calls attention to the potentially harmful e ects social media has on children’s mental health. According to the report, 95% of teens ages 13-17 say they use social media, with more than a third saying they use it “almost constantly.” In addition, 40% of children ages 8-12 use social media, even though most platforms require users to be at least 13 to participate.

According to a study in the report, teens who spend more than three hours a day on social media face twice the risk of experiencing mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety. Other potential issues referenced in the report include:

• Body dissatisfaction, or disordered eating behaviors

• Social comparison

• Lower self-esteem

• Poor sleep

e information in this report corroborates with the what UnitedHealthcare providers are often seeing: an increased rate of harmful comparison, limited in-person interaction, feelings of loneliness and an uptick in anxiety, depression and other mental health issues. Dr. Donald Tavakoli, national medical director for behavioral health at UnitedHealthcare, says the amount of time children spend online af-

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 5 children have a mental, emotional or behavioral disorder and only about 20% of those children receive care from a mental health provider. ese ndings may be alarming for parents and tackling the issues surrounding social media use may feel overwhelming as well. esetips may help you and your child become more informed about social media use and, in turn, reduce potential harm:

Understand and monitor social media

Having a bit of background on the latest social media apps can help parents create better limits and boundaries for their kids. As children’s brains go through dramatic developmental changes, they could develop sensitivities associated with a desire for attention and may have undeveloped self-control, especially during early adolescence. Social channels that promote “likes” or excessive scrolling may pose issues for developing brains. Limit chat functions, especially with strangers, and restrict inappropriate content.

On a cool summer morning, quietness settles over the prairie. Only nature is audible. A warm breeze rustles the grass and the meadowlarks’ songs are punctuated by the grunts of bu alo, who t perfectly into this puzzle of prairie life.  “We have to all work together to conserve bison in their native landscape,” said Megan Klosterman, the deputy refuge manager at Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge. Bison conservation has received more attention in the last ve to 10 years than ever before. On Sept. 7, the Department of the Interior announced $5 million for the “support the restoration of bison populations and grassland ecosystems in Tribal communities.” is investment supports Secretary Order 3410, which was announced in March 2023 and is the larger investment of $25 million from the In ation Reduction Act to restore bison and prairie ecosystems through Indigenous knowledge of the species.

Klosterman said Rocky Mountain Arsenal, located in Commerce City, is part of a greater initiative to work with Indigenous groups to bring back and protect the bu alo.

Bison once numbered in the range of 70 million across North America prior to Europeans settling on the continent. en, for a range of reasons but primarily to “settle the West,” which was the excuse made for clearing out the megafauna — the bison — and the American Indians who heavily relied on the bu alo for subsistence, European Americans killed most of the bu alo,which brought the species near extinction and purposefully nearly destroyed many American Indian tribes. Over the last 100 years, conservationists and American Indian tribes have worked to bring back this important animal to the ecosystem.

“People are beginning to understand that we can’t control Mother Earth. Mother Earth is going to control us. And so, I think that it’s almost imperative that we bring the bu alo

CONSERVATION

back,” said Rick Williams, board president of People of the Sacred Land, an organization that aims to reveal the ways American Indians were mistreated throughout Colorado’s history and create an equitable future for American Indians.

Prairie grasslands stretched for miles across the state as did herds of bu alo who play an important ecological role in the landscape. Colorado is home to nearly 50 di erent tribes who traversed this land much like the bu alo did.

“It’s so important that we believe that the strength of the herds of bu alo who are coming back parallel our existence, we will never be strong as a people again until we have the bu alo back,” said Williams, who is Oglala Lakota and Northern Cheyenne.

Bu alo are incredibly intertwined with many Indigenous Tribes and Nations, especially the Lakota, Williams said, and not just as a source of food, tools and clothing.

“Part of that relationship is a spiritual relationship, the spirit of that bu alo and my spirit can interact with each other and understand each other,” said Williams.

In the 1990s, Williams was part of a group that created what is now the InterTribal Bu alo Council. ITBC is a collection of more than 80 tribes across the country who manage more than 20,000 bu alo. e organization is bene ting from the new federal funding, using the money to help educate and fund the animals’ care.

e Southern Ute Tribe in Colorado is one of the founding tribes of ITBC. eir herd was established in 1984 with just eight bison and has grown to 115 bison. is size of the herd sustains their meat program, which provides ve pounds of free bison meat each month to all 1,500 tribal members.

One of the main reasons [to return bu alo to tribal lands] is to help restore our food sovereignty and our traditional food system,” said Stacey Oberly, a Southern Ute Tribal council member and representative for the tribe with ITBC.

e other reason to return the bison to prairie grasslands is the incredible ecological role the animals play — an aspect Oberly, Williams and

Klosterman all talked about extensively.

“ at symbiotic relationship that we had with the bu alo also goes all across the environment.

e prairie dogs love the bu alo, the grass loves the bu alo,” explained Williams. “Even the bugs and mosquitoes like bu alo.”

As the World Wildlife Organization explains, bison graze grasses at di erent heights which not only replenishes the grasses but also provides nesting grounds for birds. Bu alo also roll around as a way to shed their coats and rid themselves of bugs. at rolling creates depressions in the ground called wallows. ose wallows then ll with rainwater and become sources of drinking water for wildlife across the plains. e wallows are also home to several medicinal and rare plants that rely on these spaces to grow.

“[Bu alo] ber is the second warmest ber in America. And so, when animals use that ber to line their nests, the animals that nest on the ground, the scent of the bu alo masks the scent of their babies in their nests. So, the predators can’t send them to nd their babies,” explained Oberly.

Bu alo hooves also churn the soil and create microclimates for new plants to grow. And bison use their big heads and shoulders to plow through the snow to eat the grass in the winter. is plowing activity bene ts other animals like pronghorn antelope and elk.

“Bison were selected to be part of this refuge

At Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge, more than 200 bison live on 6,300 acres of land. Visitors to the refuge can see the bison for themselves using an 11-mile wildlife drive. e refuge also boasts 20 miles of hiking trails and many other animal species.

“We are really hoping that we are a place where people in the urban communities here can come experience wildlife in nature and really nd their place in this natural environment,” said Klose refuge donates new bison to Tribes or other conservation herds hoping to bolster their own herds. e bison’s area at the refuge will soon expand to 11,500 acres, giving the animals even more space to roam, which Williams said is something they desperately need to thrive.

“ ey’ll come back if they’re treated well and they can have that freedom again, not being conned, not being unable to roam and be bu alo,” said Williams.

While the refuge is a good place to conserve bison, Williams is talking about bringing back bison as true wild animals. In fact, he believes we, as a country, should create corridors for bu alo to move freely north and south as they did for thousands of years.

“ ey need more land. And that is the critical issue that we’re facing. We’ve seen a diminishment of bu alo grass and grasslands that would be suitable for bu alo going away,” said Williams.   While this idea may seem radical to some, Williams believes returning the bu alo in this way will not only help the grasslands, the environment and Indigenous ways of life but restore some balance that has been missing in this area for the last 150 years.

“My message to all people — because it’s going to take more than just the Indians to do this — if you really want to make a di erence in the world, nd a way to bring bu alo back,” said Williams. “If you want to make a di erence in this world, bring bu alo back.”

Take a visit to Miners Alley’s ‘Cherry Orchard’

Classical theater carries a lot of negative connotations for many people — it’s too stu y, wildly out of date and indecipherable to modern audiences. But if you see the classics done right, they can be just as invigorating and moving as the latest storytelling.   e approachable touch is just what Miners Alley Playhouse is bringing to its production of Anton Chekhov’s classic comedy, “ e Cherry Orchard.” Based on a translation by Stephen Karam, the show is at once hilarious and thought-provoking.

“I knew we had the cast that could do this show and I really wanted to take the opportunity to present it to our audience,” explained Len Matheo, Miners Alley’s artistic/executive director and director of the production. “I think this version tells the story the way it is meant to be told. It’s both funny and farcical while being bittersweet.”

“ e Cherry Orchard” runs at Miners Alley, 1224 Washington Avenue in Golden, from Friday, Oct. 13 through Sunday, Nov. 5. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. ursday through Saturday and at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

e show focuses on the family of Madame Lyubov Andreievna

COMING ATTRACTIONS

Ranevskaya (Mare Trevathan), an impoverished landowner who has returned to the family estate before its set to be auctioned o . e family has several options to save their estate, but are too paralyzed by their own denial to determine a way out.

“In modern parlance, the family and world is at an in ection point,” Trevathan said. “It’s at this point between capitalism and communism, old and new and agriculture and industry. What will all the characters do in the face of such change?”

e di erences between social classes are as ripe for comedy and interrogation now as when Chekhov rst wrote the play in the early 20thcentury. It was a time of revolution in Russia and that is mirrored in some of the many changes American society has been going through over the last decade.

“ e play isn’t a straight farce, despite how funny it is. ere really is a lot of depth to what’s going on,” Matheo said. “I want people

to come for the laughs and be surprised by the full scope of the show.”

In the end, what “ e Cherry Orchard” accomplishes is the same as all great entertainment — something that keeps you engaged long after the story is nished being told.

“We’re aiming to put on a performance that is alive, funny and true,” Trevathan said. “You’re de nitely going to have an interesting car conversation on the way home and audiences will understand why Chekhov is a household name.”

A smooth way to spend an evening with the CJRO

e performance will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 13 at the Schoolhouse eater, 19650 Mainstreet in Parker. e band will be

More schools stock overdose reversal meds, but others worry about stigma

BY RAE ELLEN BICHELL AND VIRGINIA GARCIA PIVIK KFF HEALTH NEWS

Last year, a student fell unconscious after walking out of a bathroom at Central High School in Pueblo, Colorado. When Jessica Foster, the school district’s lead nurse, heard the girl’s distraught friends mention drugs, she knew she had to act fast.

Emergency responders were just four minutes away. “But still four minutes — if they are completely not breathing, it’s four minutes too long,” Foster said.

Foster said she got a dose of naloxone, a medication that can rapidly reverse an opioid overdose, and gave it to the student. e girl revived.

Forty- ve miles away in Colorado Springs, Mitchell High School o cials didn’t have naloxone on hand when a 15-year-old student overdosed in class in December 2021 after snorting a fentanyllaced pill in a school bathroom. at student died.

Colorado Springs’ school district has since joined Pueblo and dozens of other districts in the state

in supplying middle and high schools with the lifesaving medi-

cation, often known by one of its brand names, Narcan. Since passage of a 2019 state law, Colorado has had a program that allows schools to obtain the medicine, typically in nasal spray form, for free or at a reduced cost.

Not all schools are on board

with the idea, though. ough more districts have signed on since last year, only about a third of Colorado districts had enrolled in the state’s giveaway program at the start of this school year. And within the dozen counties with the highest drug overdose death rates in the state, many school districts had not signed up in the face of ongoing stigma around the need for the overdose reversal medication.

e federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration recommends that schools, including elementary schools, keep naloxone on hand as fatal opioid overdoses rise, particularly from the potent drug fentanyl. And 33 states have laws that expressly allow schools or school employees to carry, store, or administer naloxone, according to Jon Woodru , managing attorney at the Legislative Analysis and Public Policy Association, which tracks naloxone policies across the country.

Among those, about nine states require at least some K-12 schools to store naloxone on-site, including Illinois, whose requirement goes into e ect in January. Some states, such as Maine, also require that public schools o er training

Narcan is stocked at Central High School in Pueblo.

to students in how to administer naloxone in nasal spray form.

Rhode Island requires all K-12 schools, both public and private, to stock naloxone. Joseph Wendelken, a spokesperson for the Rhode Island Department of Health, said in the past four years naloxone was administered nine times to people ages 10 to 18 in educational settings.

In early September, the medication also became available over the counter nationally, though the $45 price tag per two-dose package has some addiction specialists worried it will be out of reach for those who need it most.

But the medicine still isn’t as publicly widespread as automated external de brillators or re extinguishers. Kate King, president of the National Association

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — SZA at Ball Arena

If you love smartly written R&B, the kind that gets you moving whether you’re at the club or at home in your room, then the ve years between the release of SZA’s “Ctrl” and “SOS,” were absolutely interminable. Luckily, right at the end of 2022 the singer/songwriter nally returned with an album

of School Nurses, said reluctance to stock it in schools can stem from o cials being afraid to provide a medical service or the ongoing cost of resupplying the naloxone and training people to use it. But the main hang-up she’s heard is that schools are afraid they’ll be stigmatized as a “bad school” that has a drug problem or as a school that condones bad choices.

“School districts are very careful regarding their image,” said Yunuen Cisneros, community outreach and inclusion manager at the Public Education & Business Coalition, which serves most of the state’s school districts.

“Many of them don’t want to accept this program, because to accept it is to accept a drug addiction problem.”

at’s the wrong way to think about it, King said. “We really equate it to our stock albuterol for asthma attacks, our stock epinephrine for anaphylactic reac-

that’s already become an instant classic. SZA knows how to be sultry and sexy and witty and insightful, all at the same time.

In support of her album, SZA is bringing her SOS Tour to the Ball Arena, 1000 Chopper Circle, Denver, at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 18. She’ll be joined by up-andcomer d4vd for the concert. For tickets, visit www.ticketmaster.com.

tions,” she said.

Colorado health o cials could not say how often naloxone had been used on school grounds in the state. So far this year, at least 15 children ages 10 to 18 have died of fentanyl overdoses but not necessarily in schools. And in 2022, 34 children in that age group died, according to the state Department of Public Health and Environment. at included 13-year-old José Hernández, who died in August 2022 from a fentanyl overdose at home just days after starting eighth grade at Aurora Hills Middle School. His grandmother found his body over the bathroom sink in the early morning.

With the arrival of this new school year, supplies of naloxone are on hand for kids in more Colorado schools. Last year, state lawmakers appropriated $19.7 million in federal aid to the Nal-

oxone Bulk Purchase Fund, which is accessible to school districts, jails, rst responders, and community service organizations, among others.

“It’s the most we’ve ever had,” said Andrés Guerrero, manager of the state health department’s overdose prevention program.

According to data provided by Colorado’s health department, 65 school districts were enrolled in the state program to receive naloxone at low or no cost at the start of the school year. Another 16 had reached out to the state for information but hadn’t nalized orders as of mid-August. e remaining 97 school districts either didn’t stock naloxone at their schools or sourced it from elsewhere.

Guerrero said the districts decide whom to train to administer the medicine.

Ban on hunting mountain lions and bobcats in Colorado could land on 2024 ballot

BY JASON BLEVINS THE COLORADO SUN

After Colorado lawmakers last year rejected a proposal to ban mountain lion hunting, animal rights advocates are planning to ask voters to end wildcat hunting.

A proposed ballot measure for the November 2024 ballot would prohibit hunting, trapping, using dogs or electronic devices to hunt mountain lions, bobcats or Canadian lynx.

e proposal asks voters to declare that hunting wildcats “serves no socially acceptable or ecologically bene cial purpose and fails to further public safety.”

Julie Marshall, the communications coordinator at the Center for a Humane Economy, said the ballot initiative proposal is “Coloradocentered” but has support from about 50 state and national animal

advocacy groups.

Marshall said most bobcat trapping in Colorado and the West is for pelts that are sent to Russia and China. California has prevented mountain lion hunting since 1972 and since 1990 the state protects the wildcats as a nongame species. In 2015, California banned trapping of bobcats. In 2020, the state banned bobcat hunting. ( e ballot measure includes protections for Canadian lynx, which are endangered. Colorado Parks and Wildlife reintroduced lynx in the late 1990s but advocates suspect they are occasionally injured or killed by hunters or trappers thinking they are bobcats, Marshall said.)

“ e North American Model for Wildlife Conservation says you are not supposed to kill wildlife for commerce and that’s exactly what’s being done in Colorado. It’s giving all ethical and fair chase hunting a

black eye,” Marshall said.

e coalition soon will begin training people to help gather more than 124,000 signatures from Colorado residents to get the proposed ban on the 2024 ballot.

Marshall said the signature gathering will include an educational campaign with information about wildcat hunting. Colorado Parks and Wildlife estimates there are between 3,000 and 7,000 mountain lions in Colorado.

In an email, Marshall forwarded links to online videos posted by hunters using dogs to tree large cats and then shooting them.

“We feel that a large majority of Coloradans have not been able to learn about what is happening to our wildcats and our woodlands,” she said.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife commissioners in January 2021 approved rules allowing hunters in about nine hunting units to use electronic calling devices to lure mountain lions with the sounds of dying critters. Since 2007, the agency requires that cat hunters take an education course and test to make sure they can identify a lion’s gender in an attempt to reduce the number of females killed. Harvesting too many females can have long-term impacts on an area’s lion population. All hunters must harvest the meat from mountain lions they kill.

In January 2022, animal rights groups worked with four Front Range lawmakers to propose a law — Senate Bill 31 — that banned hunting of wildcats. e bill riled hunters and opponents ooded lawmakers with emails. ree of the bill’s top sponsors pulled their support before the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources rejected the legislation in February 2022.

voters who were asked about killing wildcats to prevent con icts with people and livestock.

In 2005, Colorado Parks and Wildlife surveyed 1,300 residents and found 47% supporting legal and regulated hunting of mountain lions and 41% opposed. About 46% of respondents to that survey disagreed that hunting mountain lions should be banned while 34% supported a ban.

A 2022 survey of 462 Colorado residents by Colorado State University researchers for the mountain lion advocacy group e Summerlee Foundation showed 67% strongly agreeing with the idea that mountain lions should not be harmed by humans without cause. at survey also showed an even split — 40.6% — between residents who approve and disapprove of mountain lion hunting, with 19% saying they did not have any opinion. but a large majority said they did not like the idea of using dogs or electronic devices to hunt wildcats.

In 1980, Colorado hunters killed 81 mountain lions. In 2021-22, 2,493 hunters spent 1,826 days hunting mountain lions and killed 486 animals, down from a 10-year high of 515 in 2020-21. e agency adjusts caps for mountain lion harvests every year, with the 2023-24 hunting season capped at 674 animals.   Bryan Jones with the 1,800-member of the Colorado chapter of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers said his group is working with the Colorado Wildlife Conservation Project on a response to the proposed ballot initiative.

In 2020, the Colorado Humane Society conducted two surveys of 3,300 state voters showing strong opposition to mountain lion hunting. e group’s July 2020 survey of 1,800 voters found 69% opposed hunting mountain lions and 23% supported. A December 2022 survey showed similar responses by

“In some cases, it’s just the school nurses. In some cases, it’s school nurses and the teachers,” he said. “And in some cases, we have the students as well.”

In Durango, the 2021 death of a high schooler galvanized students to push for the right to carry naloxone with them to school with parental permission — and to administer it if need be — without fear of punishment.

It took picketing outside a school board meeting to get permission, said Hays Stritikus, who graduated this spring from Durango High School. He’s now involved in drafting legislation that would expressly allow students across the state to carry and distribute Narcan on school grounds.

“ e ultimate goal is a world where Narcan is not necessary,” he said. “But that’s just not where we live.”

Some health experts disagree that all schools should stock naloxone. Lauren Cipriano, a health economist at Western University in Canada, has studied the cost-e ectiveness of naloxone in secondary schools there. While opioid poisonings have occurred on school grounds, she said, high schools tend to be really low-risk settings.

More e ective strategies for combating the opioid epidemic are needle exchange sites, supervised drug consumption sites, and medication-assisted treatment that reduces cravings or mutes highs, Cipriano said. But those approaches can be expensive compared with naloxone distribution.

“When the state makes a big, free program like this, it looks like they’re doing something about the opioid epidemic,” she said. “It’s cheap and it looks like you’re doing something, and that’s, like, political gold.”

Colorado Parks and Wildlife to reintroduce wolves in Western Colorado by 2024. In 1996 voters approved a ban on lethal “leghold traps, instant-kill body-gripping design traps, poisons or snares” by animal trappers. In 1992, voters overwhelmingly approved a law that prevented hunting black bears with dogs or bait or between March 1 and September 1.

In early 2022, as Colorado law-

Denver Public Schools, the largest school district in Colorado, started stocking naloxone in 2022, said Jade Williamson, manager of the district’s healthy schools program.

“We know some of the students are on the forefront of these things before older generations,” Williamson said. “To know where to nd it, and to access it when needed through these adults who’ve trained, whether that’s a school nurse or a school administrator, I think it brings them some sense of relief.”

e state’s seven largest districts, with more than 25,000 students each, all participate in the state program. By contrast, a KFF Health News analysis found, only 21% of districts with up to 1,200 students have signed up for it — even though many of those small districts are in areas with drug overdose death rates higher than the state average.

Some school districts gured out a path to getting naloxone outside of the state program. at includes Pueblo School District 60, where lead nurse Foster gave naloxone to a student last year.

e Pueblo school district gets naloxone at no cost from a local nonpro t called the Southern Colorado Harm Reduction Association. Foster said she tried signing up for the state program but encountered di culties. So she decided to stick with what was already working.

Mo at County School District RE-1 in Craig, Colorado, gets its naloxone from a local addiction treatment center, according to district nurse Myranda Lyons. She said she trains school sta ers on how to administer it when she teaches them CPR.

Christopher deKay, superintendent of Ignacio School District 11Jt, said its school resource o cers already carry naloxone but that the district enrolled in the state program, too, so that schools could stock the medication in the nursing o ce in case a resource o cer isn’t around.

No. 6 Golden football stays hot with win over Standley Lake

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA — Golden’s passing game found a nice rhythm late Friday afternoon at the North Area Athletic Complex.

Junior quarterback Kalin Hu ord threw three touchdowns passes in the rst seven minutes to jumpstart the Demons to an easy 46-6 victory over Standley Lake in the Class 4A Mountain West League game.

“We came out with our heavy package to set the tone with the run game,” Golden coach Matt McDougal said. “It opened up the passing game. We have been working a lot on some little things to try to improve the passing game. We got some openings today, threw the ball well and completed them.”

McDougal said after last week’s conference win over Bear Creek that he knew the passing game needed to be more of a factor for the Demons. Hu ord connected with seniors Jonathan Wheeler, Trey Abrams and junior Jack Dixon for touchdown passes well before the end of the rst quarter to give Golden a 21-0 lead.

“It felt great,” Abrams said of the rst quarter show through the air. “It has been a little rough the last couple of weeks, but we are there now. We are getting it done.”

Hu ord has replaced the shoes of Jazel Riley, who threw for over 1,500 yards and rushed for over 1,500 yards in his senior campaign with the Demons.

“I think he (Hu ord) is getting there,” McDougal said. “It is always a process when you are the new

getting better every week.”

Senior Luc Chevalier did all the scoring for the Demons (6-1 record, 2-0 in 4A Mountain West) in the second quarter. e senior running back had touchdown runs of 11 and 2 yards to push the lead to 35-0.

board with a short touchdown run by quarterback Boston Harris to cut the lead to 38-6, but the Demons were quick to answer. Hu ord threw his fourth touchdown pass with an 11-yard score to Abrams with 6:41 left in the third quarter.

“We just wanted to get on the same page with each other where it’s just pass and catch between quarterback and receiver,” Abrams said. “I think we are there now. It’s awesome.”

A successful 2-point conversion pushed the margin to 40 points to induce a running clock for the rest of the game.

Golden returns to the NAAC next Friday night for a huge conference game against Dakota Ridge. e Eagles (4-3, 1-0) had a dominating 47-19 win last night against Bear Creek at Je co Stadium.

“It is a big game and I think over the last few years it has kind of turned into a rivalry,” McDougal said of the game against Dakota Ridge. “ ey have a good team again. ey have some dangerous guys. We are going to have to come out and play one of our best games of the year.”

Golden ended Dakota Ridge’s string of four straight league titles last year when the Demons won the 4A Mountain West title.

“We have been looking toward this game all year,” Hu ord said of Dakota Ridge. “We are excited to have it nally coming this week.”

Standley Lake will also be back at NAAC next week. e Gators (4-3, 1-1) have a non-league game against Heritage. at game will kicko at 4 p.m. before the big showdown between Golden and Dakota Ridge.

US Forest Service

South Platte Ranger District invites public to provide input on Lower North-South Vegetation Management Plan

The US Forest Service South Platte Ranger District is proposing activities to restore sustainable forest conditions that are resilient to fire, insects, and diseases, while providing for diverse wildlife habitats, recreational opportunities, and sustainable watershed conditions. These activities, collectively referred to as the Lower North-South Vegetation Management project, respond to the need to reduce the likelihood of largescale, high-intensity wildfires and improve resiliency of the forest to insects and disease.

The South Platte Ranger District invites the public to view information on the proposed action found at the project website: https:// www.fs.usda.gov/project/ psicc/?project=65019.

The District will also be hosting one virtual and one in-person public meeting to provide an opportunity to hear more about the project from the Forest Service.

Virtual Meeting: October 24th, 2023. 6 PM – 7:30 PM. Access meeting through the project website.

In-Person Meeting: October 26th, 2023. 6 PM – 7:30 PM. Elk Creek Fire Station 1. 11993 Blackfoot Road, Conifer, CO.

Public Notice

NOTICE OF DEFAULT

AND FORECLOSURE SALE

WHEREAS, on October 6, 2003, a certain Deed of Trust was executed by The Doris A. Aldrich Trust, as Grantor and Doris A. Aldrich, in favor of Financial Freedom Senior Funding Corporation, a Subsidiary of Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB, and the Public Trustee of Jefferson County, Colorado as Trustee, and was recorded on October 27, 2003, at Reception Number F1893697, in the office of the Clerk and Recorder of the County of Jefferson, Colorado; and

WHEREAS, the Deed of Trust was insured by the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (the Secretary) pursuant to the National Housing Act for the purpose of providing single family housing; and

WHEREAS, the beneficial interest of the Deed of Trust is now owned by the Secretary, pursuant to an assignment recorded on August 11, 2014 at Reception Number 2014066031 in the office of the Clerk and Recorder of the County of Jefferson, Colorado.

WHEREAS, a default has been made in the covenants and conditions of the Deed of Trust in that Paragraph 9 (a) (i) has been violated; and

WHEREAS, the entire amount delinquent is $351,377.35 as of August 29, 2023; and

WHEREAS, by virtue of this default, the Secretary has declared the entire amount of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable;

NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to the powers vested in me by the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of 1994, 12 U.S.C. 3751 et seq., by 24 CFR part 27, subpart B, and by the Secretary’s designation of me as Foreclosure Commissioner, recorded on December 19, 2017 at Reception No. 2017129817 in the records of the Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder, notice is hereby given that on November 9, 2023 at 12:30 pm. local time, all real and personal property at or used in connection with the following described premises (“Property”) will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder:

LOT 25, BLOCK 1 VADA VALLEY, COUNTY OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF COLORADO; AND BEING MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN A DEED DATED 09/25/1998, AND RECORDED 10/16/1998, AMONG THE LAND RECORDS OF THE COUNTY AND STATE SET FORTH ABOVE, IN F0716186. APN NO: 3915215001.

Commonly known as: 9555 West 53rd Place, Arvada, CO 80002.

The sale will be held on the front steps of the Jefferson County Administration and Courts Building located at 100 Jefferson Parkway, Golden, CO 80401.

The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid the lesser amount of the loan balance, or the appraised value obtained by the Secretary prior to sale.

There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorated share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale.

When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling 10% of the Secretary’s bid in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of 10% of the Secretary’s bid must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them.

Public Notices

The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due.

If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit, or at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder.

There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein, HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant.

The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner no less than three (3) days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before the public auction of the property is completed.

The amount that must be paid if the mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $351,377.35 as of August 29, 2023, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the deed of trust had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out of pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement.

Tender of payment by certified or cashier’s check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.

Case Number: 23DR365 Division: Y

SUMMONS FOR: ALLOCATION OF PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITES

To the Respondent named above this Summons serves as a notice to appear in this case.

If you were served in the State of Colorado, you must file your Response with the clerk of this Court within 21 days after this Summons is served on you to participate in this action.

If you were served outside of the State of Colorado or you were served by publication, you must file your Response with the clerk of this Court within 35 days after this Summons is served on you to participate in this action.

You may be required to pay a filing fee with your Response. The Response form (JDF 1420) can be found at www.courts.state.co.us by clicking on the “Self Help/Forms” tab.

The Petition requests that the Court enter a Order addressing issues involving the children such as, child support, allocation of parental responsibilities, (decision-making and parenting time), attorney fees, and costs to the extent the Court has jurisdiction.

Notice: Colorado Revised Statutes §14-10123, provides that upon the filing of a Petition for Allocation of Parental Responsibilities by the Petitioner and Co-Petitioner, or upon personal

service of the Petition and Summons on the Respondent, or upon waiver and acceptance of service by the Respondent, an automatic temporary injunction shall be in effect against both parties until the Final Order is entered, or the Petition is dismissed, or until further Order of the Court. Either party may apply to the Court for further temporary orders, an expanded automatic temporary injunction, or modification or revocation under §14-10-125, C.R.S.

A request for genetic tests shall not prejudice the requesting party in matters concerning allocation of parental responsibilities pursuant to §14-10124(1.5), C.R.S. If genetic tests are not obtained prior to a legal establishment of paternity and submitted into evidence prior to the entry of the final order, the genetic tests may not be allowed into evidence at a later date.

Automatic Temporary Injunction – By Order of Colorado law, you and the other parties:

1. Are enjoined from molesting or disturbing the peace of the other party; and

2. Are restrained from removing the minor child(ren) from the state without the consent of all parties or an Order of the Court modifying the injunction; and

3. Are restrained, without at least 14 days advance notification and the written consent of all other parties or an Order of the Court, from cancelling, modifying, terminating, or allowing to lapse for nonpayment of premiums, any policy of health insurance or life insurance that provides coverage to the minor child(ren) as a beneficiary of a policy.

If you fail to file a Response in this case, any or all of the matters above, or any related matters which come before this Court, may be decided without further notice to you.
