Dignity Tuesday provides Thanksgiving meals to dozens of local families Third annual event moves to Lakewood’s Mile Hi Church

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Whether they heard about it on the radio, at a local food pantry or at their church, dozens of Denver-area individuals and families found their local Thanksgiving meal waiting for them outside Lakewood’s Mile Hi Church.

96.9 The Cloud and its local partners assembled for the third annual Dignity Tuesday, which provides boxes of free food the

Tuesday before Thanksgiving.

Along with turkeys and a few hams, the event also offered fresh bread, fresh and canned vegetables, stuffing, gravy, cranberries, pies and centerpiece-type flower arrangements.

Organizer Chuck Lontine from The Cloud said he had 1.3 tons of food total, including about 75 turkeys. He added that anything left over from the event would be donated to Golden and Lakewood food banks.

Lontine emphasized how Dignity Tuesday wouldn’t be possible without new and returning donors.

• Wheat Ridge Poultry & Meats donated the main courses; • Golden’s Grateful Bread donated special loaves of ciabatta; • Applewood-area Something Styled, Inc. donated the flower arrangements; • Colo-Pac Produce, Inc. donated boxes of fresh vegetables; and • Legacy Pie Co. — a new donor with a location in the Highlands and a forthcoming one near Washington Park — donated desserts.

Other businesses helped sponsor the event and provided volunteers, and the radio station’s longtime support Mile Hi Church provided the location.

The inaugural event was at Golden’s Christian Action Guild and last year’s was at the BGOLDN food pantry at New Hope Community

November 30, 2023No Church. Lontine said pick-up was complicated at both locations because of high traffic volumes and/ or lack of parking. While Mile Hi Church was a bit farther from Golden, it had easy access with lots of parking and gave Dignity Tuesday a more regional reach, he explained.

That proved important, as people came from all over Golden, Lakewood and beyond to pick up their Thanksgiving fixings. Lontine said one man came from Brighton after hearing about it on the radio, but most heard about it through The Cloud’s pantry partners or through Mile Hi Church.

Lakewood’s Delilah Martinez, who picked up food for her household, heard about it through a friend. She felt Dignity Tuesday was a great way to help a lot of people in need, adding, “Keep up the good work.”

Maria Ramirez, branch manager at Sunflower Bank’s Golden location, and her 8-year-old daughter Alana were helping assemble boxes of

food as people arrived. Ramirez volunteered at last year’s event, and was happy to support a good program again this holiday season.

She described how many local families are struggling to afford basic needs, and when that happens, it’s often harder for them to bring large families together for a meal. But, she hoped Dignity Tuesday would enable everyone to gather together for Thanksgiving, she said.

Leah Hahn of Golden’s Body In Balance Wellness Center, one of The Cloud’s supporters, also brought her 12-year-old son Logan to help, saying Dignity Tuesday was a great volunteer opportunity for him. She commended Lontine for putting the event together for the last three years.

“It’s people helping other people,” she said of Dignity Tuesday. “It brings the true meaning of the holiday out and puts it into action.”

When asked if he’d host a fourth annual Dignity Tuesday next Thanksgiving, Lontine responded

Finding the extraordinary among the ordinary Itty Bitty Art Tour returns to downtown Golden

Golden’s Parfet Park and Washington Avenue Bridge are home to 14 new, but tiny works of art.

The Itty Bitty Art Tour has returned for its second year, courtesy of the Golden Public Art Commission and local artists, with everything from a decorated bike rack and water fountain to a tiny license plate in a tree and a golden crack in the pavement.

“Itty Bitty Art is intended to be a fun and serendipitous experience for locals and visitors alike,” PAC member Kristie Brice stated in a press release.

“It’s been such a joy to observe so many people of all ages, slow down, look around and happily discover tiny treasures throughout the town.”

While last year’s art tour installed pieces along the north side of Clear Creek and in the 1100 block of Washington Avenue, this year’s pieces are more concentrated. Most are in Parfet Park, and the remaining ones are on the Washington Avenue Bridge.

A few are quite small and outof-the-way, so finding them requires some sleuthing.

Visit Golden and the PAC hosted tours of the pieces earlier this month.

As with last year, all the artwork is meant to be fun but temporary. How long they’ll last depends on the elements, with a few already showing some wear and tear.

Robin Flesichmann of Visit Golden said finding all 14 pieces could be a fun activity for families, couples or groups of friends as they visit downtown for holiday shopping and upcoming events.

West metro mayors discuss affordable housing, homelessness and more at annual Mayors Roundtable

BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Arvada Chamber of Commerce recently hosted four regional mayors in the annual Mayors Roundtable at Revive Church in Arvada. The panel included Mayor Bud Starker of Wheat Ridge, Mayor Nancy McNally of Westminster, Mayor Lauren Simpson of Arvada and Mayor Pro Tem J.J. Trout of Golden.

The roundtable was moderated by Denver Metro Chamber’s Director of Marketing and Communication Jim Siedlecki.

Siedlecki posed questions to the mayors and the mayor pro tem about current issues facing all the communities in the region. Each one revealed plans and solutions in addition to a few personal stories and jokes.

Siedlecki asked each official to talk about their plans, initiatives

and strategies to tackle affordable housing in their respective cities.

Starker led the conversation with a proud description of Wheat

Ridge’s Affordable Housing Strategy and Action Plan. That was followed by a rundown of the affordable housing projects in various stages of development around the city and partnerships with organizations to make those happen. Starker also discussed incentives to landlords to maintain affordable housing, a new affordable housing city manager position and Wheat Ridge’s decision to also opt into Prop 123.

Trout said Golden is small and focused on preserving while also creating affordable housing.

“We committed to increasing our affordable housing units by 3% each year for three years,” Trout said. “That was about 26 units per year, which makes Golden and our partners eligible to access the funding through Prop 123.”

Trout described an assessment similar to Wheat Ridge that the city of Golden conducted to determine an affordable housing plan. This plan helped the city tailor its effects into initiatives to help landlords and tenants preserve affordable housing. Trout also mentioned helping a mobile home park gain ownership and making Golden a part of the National League of Cities.

Simpson shared Arvada’s current work on an action plan similar to that of Wheat Ridge and Golden.

Arvada is also opting for Prop 123.

Simpson, like Starker, gave a list of

affordable housing projects that Arvada is working on with its own partners.

Simpson described a new affordable housing development in progress in Arvada that will “supply what looks like luxury housing, but it’ll be primarily targeted at families of 30 to 70%, area median income range.”

McNally shared Westminster opted into Prop 123 as well. The city is in the final stages of its own housing study to determine the affordable housing needs of the city.

McNally also detailed a number of affordable housing projects, as the other officials did. However, McNally said Westminster is also looking at the needs of older adults in the community.

“The aging population is going to be huge for this entire area for the next 15 to 20 years,” McNally said. She wanted the mayors to consider questions about Medicaid payments and considerations in their housing plans.

Westminster is also developing condos, according to McNally. That was a fact Siedlecki picked up on.

“All of us with children that are in college would like to have them live (in the Denver area),” Siedlecki said, acknowledging that the region is lacking in homes in the $200,000 to 4300,000 range.

The mayors also answered questions about homelessness.

Starker mentioned Wheat Ridge’s mental health focus in relation to the unhoused population.

Trout shared the story of a family member who is unhoused. The mental health challenges make the situation complex, so Trout was glad to see that Starker had developed a program that considers unhoused people similar to her family member.

Simpson reiterated a point that all of the officials ended up making: The cities had to band together to tackle these issues.

“Here in the front range, we are all working quite collaboratively to be able to try and address (homelessness) because no one municipality can do this on its own,” Simpson said.

The average hamburger in Colorado now costs $15

PHOTO BY HUGH CAREY AND ILLUSTRATION BY DANIKA WORTHINGTON /

BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN

Over at a Denver-area Red Robin restaurant, the Keep It Simple burger costs $13.49, or nearly $15 with tax.

That’s up 31% in a little more than three years, based on old menus posted at restaurant review site, Yelp.com, showing the same nofrills burger at $10.29 in May 2020.

It’s not just Red Robin. A lot of burger joints are getting unwanted attention because of their higher prices, with some consumers sharing their shock on social media. It’s also not just burgers. The cost of eating out at a restaurant in Colorado has increased 28.2% since January 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index. Menu prices have gone up at most Colorado eateries, and restaurant owners don’t really like to talk about it.

But one can still find a solid burger at a full-service restaurant for under $15. The Cricket Burger at The Cherry Cricket in Denver is $11.50, up 30% since 2021, the restaurant confirmed. Fries are still $4 but now there are two sizes: a half order and full size, which is $6.

“Continuing to provide a delicious product to our guests at a value is paramount to us at the Cherry Cricket. We’re always very hesitant to increase our prices,” Calley McCue, president and chief financial officer for Cherry Cricket’s parent company, BreckenridgeWynkoop, said in an email. “That said, the dramatic increase in (the cost of goods sold) and labor costs that we’ve seen over the past two years have, unfortunately, necessitated increased prices in order for us to keep operating.”

The Colorado Restaurant Association & Foundation gets a lot more specific. Earlier this year, the industry group, which has 4,900 member restaurants, put together its own guide to why the price of an average burger has increased to $15.

Restaurants have seen an increase of 54% in the cost of labor, 55% for utilities and 20% for equipment and maintenance. The price of beef? Up 43%. Cheese? Up 79%. And lettuce?

Up 85%.

For restaurants to make the same margin on burgers that they did in 2020, they’d have to charge $22.

Want to referee basketball?

There’s a class for that in Evergreen

BY CHRIS KOEBERL CKOEBERL@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Kids as young as 13 can become certified referees for real middle and high school games with the right training.

The course offered through Evergreen Sports Officials is taught by Clear Creek Middle and High School Coach Phil Mauro.

The idea, according to Mauro, is to get kids involved in sports by teaching the rules to referees, plus there’s a need for referees now.

“There is a high need for new officials, especially up here in the mountain area,” Mauro said.

Mauro explained that often in games there is one referee per game when there should be two or three.

New referees would start working with younger teams, then work their way up.

At a recent basketball tournament at the middle and high school in Evergreen, 14-yearold Will Kelker and 13-year-old Frank Mauro were dressed in black and white referee uniforms with whistles dangling from their necks.

“It’s really cool and it’s a great way to make money and help out the kids teach them how to play basketball,” Kelker said.

Successful graduates of the course would be recognized and certified referees through the Colorado High School Activities Association, according to Mauro.

Students typically meet Thursday nights for about an hour at Evergreen High School as students learn rules, mechanics and professionalism, according to the curriculum.

The cost is $175 dollars for the six-week course, but students in the Clear Creek School District

receive a full scholarship, funded, in part, through grants from the Explorer Fund and an Innovation Grant, according to Mauro.

“Evergreen Sports Officials’ mission is to provide the youth and high school sports community with certified and well-trained officials,” Mauro added.

At the recent basketball game in Evergreen,

the two young referees commanded respect with their calls but Kelker said it’s not always easy.

“It’s hard, I mean the parents and coaches always have their own opinion,” Kelker said.

“You just have to call what you call. You can’t let other people tell you what to think.”

Rock climbing proposals worry both climbers and wilderness advocates

BY JASON BLEVINS THE COLORADO SUN

Heavily anticipated plans to revamp rock climbing management in parks and wilderness areas contain what appears to be a call for a coastto-coast inventory of every bolt and anchor in designated wilderness worries climbers. The draft proposals unveiled by the National Park Service and U.S. Forest Service in mid-November also contain a process that allows land managers to approve bolts as permanent installations, which troubles conservation groups.

Climbers have been rallying to protect fixed anchors in wildlands after federal land managers earlier this year began classifying fixed bolts and chains as permanent installations that are not allowed in wilderness areas.

The Access Fund in March called the potential policy banning fixed anchors “a war on wilderness climbing.” Meanwhile, wilderness supporters have been decrying anchors as “the defacement and degradation of wilderness” and “the proverbial crack in the armor for wilderness.”

Colorado’s D.C. lawmakers — like Sen. John Hickenlooper and Rep. Joe Neguse — have joined the climbers with proposed legislation directing the Forest Service and the Interior Department to create a uniform policy for all wilderness areas that allows the placement of permanently fixed anchors for climbing.

That draft guidance throws a new log on the fire fueling the climbing bolt war. The proposed policies by the Forest Service and Park Service note that climbing is “a legitimate use” of wilderness and the use of fixed anchors “can fulfill important wilderness recreational purposes and can help preserve wilderness character by providing opportunities for primitive and unconfined recreation.” But it also defines fixed anchors as “installations,” which are banned in designated wilderness by the 1964 Wilderness Act.

The guidance prohibits new bolts and anchors in wilderness unless they have been approved by local forest supervisors and park superintendents following an indepth review called a “Minimum Requirements Analysis.” And most troubling for climbers is the new plan’s determination that existing bolts — including those placed prior to wilderness designation — are prohibited but may be allowed in the wilderness if land managers have the resources to conduct a review.

“Existing fixed anchors and fixed equipment in wilderness may be retained pending completion of a Minimum Requirements Analysis, as funding and resources allow, that determines they are the minimum necessary to facilitate primitive or unconfined recreation or otherwise preserve wilderness character,” the guidance reads.

So wilderness area bolts and anchors will go through “the same review as required for a road or even a landfill,” said Garrett Garner-Wells with the Access Fund. The fund estimates that about 90% of all climbing routes in national wilderness areas use fixed bolts and anchors, which allow climbers to reduce the risk of a potentially disastrous fall on routes where removable equipment is not possible.

“We are glad to see them say climbing is a legitimate use, but the classification of anchors as installations and requiring a full inventory of all wilderness fixed anchors across all wilderness, National Park and Forest Service land, that is definitely a thing we are disappointed to see,” GarnerWells said.

George Nickas, the executive director of Montana-based Wilderness Watch, said the plan by the federal agencies is troubling because it allows a way for land managers to allow permanent installations in wilderness, which the Wilderness Act explicitly prohibits.

Proposed climbing management policies by the Forest Service and National Park Service would require review of fixed anchors and bolts in wilderness areas.

What the legislature did during the special session

BY BRIAN EASON AND JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

In the special legislative session that concluded before Thanksgiving, the Colorado General Assembly cut property taxes by $434 million and increased taxpayer refunds for most Coloradans by redistributing money that otherwise would’ve gone to higher earners.

They also redirected $185 million in surplus tax collections to expand a tax break for low-income workers, approved $30 million in rental assistance and authorized a summer meals program for lowincome children that will bring in up to $42 million in federal funding.

It all happened in a span of four tense days as lawmakers rushed to wrap up before Thanksgiving.

Gov. Jared Polis called the special session earlier this month after voters overwhelmingly rejected Proposition HH, his sprawling tax plan that offered a complicated mix of property tax relief, school

under the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights.

In response, legislative Democrats went back to the drawing board on tax relief, directing more of it to low-income workers over the lockstep opposition of Republicans, but stopping short of any longterm solutions to Colorado’s cost of living crisis. Six of the bills they sent to the governor’s desk make only temporary changes to the state tax code, while a seventh assigns a bipartisan committee to study a more lasting solution.

All of the legislation was signed into law by Polis, whose office was intimately involved in the crafting of policy debated at the Capitol during the special lawmaking term.

Here’s what the legislature did, and what it means.

The average Colorado homeowner will save a little over $200 on their property tax bill due in April. The amount of savings may be higher or lower based on your home’s value and your local mill levy rate.

Democrats used two levers to provide relief. They reduced the residential assessment rate for the 2023 tax year to 6.7% from 6.765%.

And they increased the amount of a home’s value that is exempt from taxation to $55,000 from $15,000.

Combined, that represents

about an 8% tax cut for a home worth $550,000 — and more cuts are likely on the way. Many local governments will be legally required to cut mill levies due to local limits on revenue as they grapple with the 40% increase in statewide home values.

To be clear: Your property tax bill won’t be lower than it was.

The relief lawmakers passed will limit the increase caused by higher property values.

Lawmakers didn’t pass any additional property tax relief for commercial properties.

You can use our calculator below to see how much you will owe in property taxes — and how much you would have owed if the legislature hadn’t acted: Democrats tried to help renters in a few ways. But unlike the property tax cuts provided to every homeowner, not all renters will qualify.

The largest relief measure comes through a $185 million expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit, which primarily benefits low-income working families.

Currently, Coloradans receive 25% of the federal tax credit of the same name. The General Assembly doubled it for this tax year only.

That translates to as much as $1,350 more for a family with three children making $25,000.

The federal program is designed to encourage people to work, so it rises over the first $10,000 to $15,000 in income, but falls after a certain point. No one making more than $63,400 is eligible. You can use the calculator found here to determine your federal credit, then divide it by two to determine your state credit for this income tax year.

Democrats also approved up to $30 million in emergency rental assistance for households making up to 80% of the median income for their area. To qualify, renters have to be able to show financial hardship that puts them at risk of eviction.

There’s a deadline to receive help: any money that isn’t distributed to landlords before July 1 will be sent back to the state coffers to spend on other programs.

SESSION FROM PAGE 12

Coloradans who make less than $104,000 — the majority of Colorado taxpayers — will get a larger Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights refund next calendar year, while higher earners will get less than they would have otherwise.

That’s because Democrats passed a bill making TABOR refund checks the same for everyone, a temporary change from the usual system, which ties refunds to income, with higher earners getting more.

The refunds are owed for excess revenue collected over the TABOR cap, which is set by annual increases in inflation and population. The state has to refund any money collected over the cap.

The checks will be $800 for single tax filers and $1,600 for joint tax filers.

The refunds would have been $47 larger per person, but lawmakers used $185 million of the state’s $3.6 billion surplus to fund the expansion of the earned income tax credit.

Schools will be reimbursed for all the money they would have gotten had the legislature not exempted $55,000 of a home’s value from taxation and reduced the residential assessment rate.

That totals about $145 million.

Fire, ambulance and hospital districts, like schools, will be

HAMBURGER FROM PAGE 9

“Inflation has had a huge impact on menu prices across Colorado, as has the annual increase of the minimum wage,” said Denise Mickelsen, a spokeswoman for the industry association. “The cost of running a restaurant continues to skyrocket, and with typical industry profit margins sitting at a slim 3% to 5%, operators don’t have a lot of wiggle room when food, alcohol, energy, labor, taxes and more continue to climb. It all leads to higher menu prices, streamlined menu offerings, limited hours of operation and operator burnout.”

reimbursed for all the money they would have collected had lawmakers not passed property tax relief. That totals about $50 million.

Counties, cities and other local agencies like water districts and libraries will only receive state assistance if their local property values are increasing by less than 15%. Even then, the reimbursements may be only partial.

The legislature also formed a bipartisan, 19-member task force to come up with a long-term property tax solution.

The task force will include state lawmakers and local elected officials, as well as representatives from education, firefighting and business advocates.

Property owners will also be on the panel.

Appointments to the task force will be made by Dec. 4 and the commission will start meeting the next day. Meetings will continue at least twice a month through at least mid-March, when it is required to present its findings to the governor and the legislature.

The panel is set up with the goal of either passing a long-term property tax solution at the Capitol next year, or crafting a measure to place on the 2024 ballot.

The bill forming the task force was originally drafted to be dominated

by Democrats, but it was changed in the Senate to be more politically and geographically diverse. For majority Democrats, it’s a bet on bipartisanship, after a special

In October, the restaurant association polled its members about prices. Based on the responses, customers can expect prices to continue to increase next year. About 86% of members who responded said they planned to increase menu prices when the minimum wage goes up 5.6% to $14.42 an hour on Jan. 1. Six out of 10 said they’ll have to cut hours or shifts for their teams.

This story was printed through a news sharing agreement with The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver that covers the state. This story was also part of the Sun’s ongoing series talking to Coloradans about their challenges, their fears and their solutions to the rising costs of living.

session that was otherwise deeply divided along party lines. If the plan that comes out of the task force can win some Republican support in the legislature, there may be enough votes in the Capitol to refer a constitutional amendment to next year’s ballot.

Placing a constitutional amendment on the ballot takes the support of two-thirds of the lawmakers in each the House and Senate. Democrats have a supermajority in the House but are one vote shy of that threshold in the Senate.

Democrats had to scrounge to find funding for their proposals after state budget analysts reported last week that the state could face a shortfall this year.

They got some help from revised property tax forecasts. Local property taxes are now expected to generate $262 million more for schools this year than anticipated, enabling lawmakers to delay a state reimbursement to schools until the 2024-25 budget year, which starts July 1.

If Proposition HH had passed, lawmakers would have been required to spend that money this year.

They also used $15 million in leftover federal stimulus funding to cover half the cost of the additional rental assistance.

Golden Candlelight Walk: Truly something to marvel at

I

t’s time for us to put November in the rear-view mirror and start really focusing on all the things that make December one of the most magical months of the year.

That’s when so many holidays representing a variety of people converge and happen at about the same time. Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Christmas are the three that get the most attention, but there are a few more that are observed by people that are not as widely known.

So, that means it’s going to be a bit of a scramble to get everything organized and ready to celebrate whatever you have going on in your and your family’s lives. For some of you, it’s pick one of the above, but for others, it might be a mixed bag of all of them. But whatever you have on your schedule as the actual holidays, don’t forget to have a little bit of fun going to some of the events leading up to them.

Here in Golden, things start right off on Friday, Dec. 1 with the annual Candlelight Walk down Washington Avenue. This is always a huge event with thousands of people coming from all over to participate. I’ve said it before, it’s definitely one of the “don’t miss” holiday experiences on my family’s calendar every year.

If you haven’t been to this one,

here’s how it works. This year it all begins with a Holiday Show on the stage in Parfet Park at 10th Street and Washington Avenue at 5 p.m.

Pretty soon folks start to gather at Foothills Art Center around 6 p.m., up the hill on 15th John Akal Street, for caroling.

Then everyone lights up a candle and they start a massive procession down the street and through town back to 10th Street singing carols and following Santa all the way.

You can bring your own candles or purchase one from a local vendor.

Seeing the entire street illuminated by thousands of glowing candles and experiencing the warmth of the festive, small-town holiday atmosphere is truly something to marvel at.

It gets back to 10th Street by about 6:45 p.m. when the Mayor usually takes the stage and flips the switch to light up Golden’s 45,000 holiday lights along Clear Creek and throughout downtown, marking the official start to Golden’s holiday season.

AVENUE FLASHES

Once that happens, you can stroll along Clear Creek to check them out and wander around downtown because most of the shops will be open too. There will be free hot cider and cocoa, and several outdoor cafes will be open to enjoy along the way. Plus, there will be more entertainment on the street as well.

It’s just one of those fun things to put you and your family in the holiday spirit for an entire evening.

OK, now that being said, there are a few things to know and keep in mind if you plan to attend this event. When I said thousands of glowing candles, I wasn’t kidding or exaggerating. There will be thousands of people showing up for this event. One year we had about 10,000 revelers downtown. So, that means you should plan accordingly.

Getting there early is going to work in your favor.

Also, you should probably have some idea about where you are going to want to park and new parking regulations. We have parking garages and plenty of free parking is available in the Clear Creek Parking Lot, located at 304 10th St. Just visit www.visitgolden.com/plan-yourvisit/getting-here-around/parking/ and make a good parking plan.

Another thing to keep in mind is

the weather. It gets pretty cold at night, so dress warm and make sure the kids don’t forget their hats and gloves. Nothing ruins the experience quite like hearing, “Mommy and daddy, I’m cold, can we go home?”

Also, bring some paper napkins in case there’s a spilled hot chocolate incident.

And one last thing. You might want to print out some lyrics to the most popular Christmas carols and have them in your pocket. There’s nothing more pathetic than getting halfway through one of them and realizing you can’t remember the rest of the words. “On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me…

Uhmmm…”

We have a lot more coming up this month so stay tuned to this column.

I’ll do my best to keep you updated.

It’s beginning to look a lot like, well, a lot like I better make sure the batteries to the snow blower are all charged up!

Two departing Jeffco School Board members serve as models of public service

A

s Jeffco Public Schools says goodbye to two dedicated public servants, I want to take a moment to reflect on the profound and positive impact that local leaders can have on generations of students.

Stephanie Schooley of District 3 and Susan Miller of District 4 just completed their terms as elected members of the Jeffco Public Schools Board. They exit the Board having volunteered thousands of hours of their time in service to Jeffco kids.

While Stephanie and Susan consistently JEFFCO attention is acted in the best interests of Jeffco SUPERINTENDENT often focused kids. They chose to work productively

on the highestprofile public offices, it’s often leaders who are closest to their communities who leave the most tangible and lasting Tracy Dorland legacies.

In this era of widening political divisions,

with their Board colleagues, casting politics aside and collaborating to advance a shared vision.

Stephanie and Susan did not always share one another or other Board colleagues’ perspectives.

However, when individual perspectives were not aligned, discourse was respectful; they upheld the values of civility and respect. In this way, Stephanie and Susan have served as role models for

Jeffco’s leaders of tomorrow.

To some, a school board might seem like a small stage. However, opening doors of opportunity for over 75,000 students in the state’s second-largest school district is anything but insignificant.

Stephanie and Susan contributed to decisions that have created positive ripples that will continue to spread for many decades after their terms. They played a critical role in positioning our district to thrive.

uides in the outdoor industry inevitably come up with collective nicknames for customers. On horseback they’re “dudes,” on the river they’re “mers” — short for customers — and they’re “sticks” if you’re trying to trick a trout. Sometimes the terms trend a little negative — “flatlander” comes to mind, and there’s another name I’ve come to use but need to explain it.

It comes out of what I do: For the last decade, I’ve guided multi-day whitewater fly-fishing trips through western Colorado’s Gunnison Gorge during the summer. Then I spend the fall guiding horseback hunting outfits in wilderness. It adds up to around 100 nights a year sleeping rough.

I’ve met a lot of people from all over the country, and, sad to say, too many seem oblivious to how scarce clean water is in the outback and also how much work it takes to make water safe for drinking. That’s why I sometimes call them “water poopers.”

Spill a big batch of filtered water, treat a horse like a car rather than a living being, or behave in some other entitled way, and you might get saddled with this moniker. If a client takes offense, I explain that a waterpooper assumes that a flush toilet is

necessary to life, and they usually agree: “Yep, that’s me. Never thought about it that way.”

On the river, and in hunting camp, water is precious: We filter every drop of water that we drink. We haul the water from the Jacob Richards river or the creek to camp and then let gravity filters purify it, one drop at a time.

On overnight river trips we use a portable toilet setup with a great view, but some clients never get over their distaste of having to use it.

At trip’s end, our portable toilet gets packed out, leaving nothing behind.

On the mountain every fall, we usually have to dig two 5-footdeep outhouse holes at least 40 paces from the main tents. After a stalagmite of poop and toilet paper inevitably forms, the “camp-jack” has the unlucky job of knocking over the tower. We fill in the hole when it’s three-quarters full and then dig a new one.

DORLAND

Both demonstrated a commitment to equity in their advocacy for quality education. These were two leaders who consistently leaned in to listen and learn. They deeply understood their role as Board members and the Boards’ potential for greatest impact.

Stephanie and Susan are shining examples of two community leaders who have led with purpose, integrity, and an unwavering focus on students. They came to the Board as parents and community members who saw a system that could be improved. They stepped up to be part of the solution and to make a difference.

In this way, they serve as role models for all of us, including the students of Jeffco Public Schools.

On behalf of Jeffco’s students and staff, I thank them both.

Tracy Dorland is the superintendent of Jeffco Public Schools.

At times, school board members can be lightning rods. But the best ones understand that having the opportunity to make a meaningful difference for a community means making hard and sometimes unpopular decisions. They were sense makers for the community during a pandemic and as our district ran out of runway to address changing demographics, resulting in the difficult but courageous decision to close schools.

As I reflect on Stephanie and Susan’s service, I think of how they each searched out – and sincerely strove to understand – all perspectives across this geographically and economically diverse district.

indoor Christmas lights — that designation goes to Thomas Edison, who did so in the 1800s, according to Sturgeon Electric’s Marketing Director Erin Stromberg — his innovation spread like wildfire throughout early 20th-century Denver.

up the story and wrote several articles on Sturgeon’s invention, according to local freelance writer and historian Rosemary Fetter.

The idea’s popularity spurred Wayne to organize the first outdoor Christmas lighting contest — which drew hundreds of participants.

Soon after, the tradition had gained a foothold across the front range.

By 1938, Denver had begun to display Christmas lights on the

Show.

“That’s really where the tradition that most of us still observe today, of leaving our lights up until the end of the Stock Show, because so many people were coming to Denver, both for the Christmas season and for the Stock Show,” Hansen said.

“It was an act of hospitality to leave the lights up so that everybody can

enjoy them.”

In 1945, NBC did a broadcast tribute to Denver and the Sturgeon family for having originated the tradition, according to Stromberg.

Now, Sturgeon Electric — still in business after all these years — celebrates its Christmastime roots by partnering with Colorado Children’s Hospital to hang lights on the homes of kids who are ailing during the holidays.

“This will be the sixth year in a row that Sturgeon Electric gives back to our community by putting lights on the homes of a child who is currently at Children’s Hospital,” Stromberg said. “We’re glad to be able to give back to our community and carry that tradition forward.”

This year, for History Colorado’s Zoom In exhibit — which examines the Centennial

State’s history in 100 artifacts — Hansen’s research team looked into the claim that Sturgeon invented outdoor Christmas lights to see if they could verify what many Denverites know as a piece of local mythology.

“It’s one of those stories where it may just be urban legend,” Hansen said. “And so, we went in and looked into it. I had a team of researchers that were working on that exhibition, and we dug into it trying to disprove it. And we couldn’t. It’s one of those enduring traditions, which is why we wanted to include it in the 100 objects exhibition.”

Thus, there is a strand of Christmas lights on display at the Zoom In exhibit at History Colorado’s Denver museum.

The organization also puts on an annual Christmas light tour that takes merrymakers on a bus ride throughout the city to discuss the tradition’s history and look at lighting displays today.

he holiday season is a time filled with stories, whether they come in form of traditions long passed down or the fantastical kind we all gather round to hear for another year.

For this year, the Arvada Center’s holiday show is a bit of both — Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella.”

“Cinderella is a great holiday show because it’s magical and larger than life,” wrote Lily Schmoker, who plays Charlotte, one of the sisters, in the production, in an email interview.

“The beautiful set design, the transformations and the huge group numbers create a spectacular experience which is perfect for the holidays. It’s a feel-good story that families can enjoy together.”

“Cinderella” runs at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through Sunday, Dec. 31. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 1 p.m. on Wednesday and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Directed by Kenny Moten, the show takes the familiar tale of a young girl forced to be a servant by her evil stepmother and infuses it with some modern updates, including knights riding on hoverboards and villagers using cell phones. Don’t worry, all the characters audiences know and love are still around, just with a new twist.

A perfect example is the fairy godmother, played in the show by Aléna Watters. In the classic version, the character appears magically in the story but in this version audiences get to meet her earlier as a beggar woman who eventually transforms into the fairy godmother.

“I’m approaching her with some silliness,” Watters explained.

“Because our costume design is not the traditional ballgown, the godmother has so much more silly playfulness to her that we get to transform into some elegance.

She’s a bit more eccentric, zany and playful.”

That sense of fun extends to all aspects of the story, with Schmoker bringing a humanly comedic touch to Charlotte, who she describes as a product of her mother who just wants to be loved.

“I think she is the total contrast

of Ella, but I really

COMING fell in love with ATTRACTIONS her,” Schmoker

wrote. “I’m trying to play her with as much honesty as I can while keeping all her comedic moments, since she’s written, I think, to be a main source of comedic relief throughout Clarke Reader the show.”

While the show certainly has some changes, the crucial core story is still there and that’s the reason it has resonated with audiences for so long. Which, as it turns out, makes it the perfect fit for the holiday season.

“I hope audiences have a beautiful holiday joy infusion,” Watters said.

“They will be entertained and get to laugh and those are important experiences to have as a family. These days it is so easy to get distracted by technology but I hope people will leave the show feeling joyful. It’s really fun to come be part of a show that is a real collaboration.”

Outdoor recreation economy tops $1.1 trillion, fueling efforts for legislative support

BY JASON BLEVINS THE COLORADO SUN

Outdoor recreation has a new tagline: a trillion-dollar industry.

The new measurement of the outdoor recreation economy by the Bureau of Economic Analysis shows outdoor businesses in 2022 earning $563.7 billion, accounting for 2.2% of the nation’s gross domestic product and employing 5 million workers.

Spending on outdoor recreation — defined by the bureau as gross output — reached $1.1 trillion, a 19% jump from 2021.

This is the sixth year the federal government has analyzed outdoor recreation. And the numbers continue to reveal an economic juggernaut that drives urban and rural communities across the country. Outdoor recreation now is bigger than the country’s mining, agriculture and technology industries.

The new easy-to-trumpet trillion-dollar impact arrives as federal lawmakers weigh the America’s Outdoor Recreation Act of 2023, a package of legislation that would, among, many

things, champion recreation in federal land management plans, encourage private partnerships on federal campgrounds, support outdoor businesses and help rural communities manage the impacts of recreation.

The legislation, sponsored by Democrats and Republicans, has passed out of the U.S. Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee and is expected to be heard by a U.S. House committee soon.

“These numbers help us make the case for outdoor recreation priorities,” said Chris Perkins, the vice president of programs for the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable, a coalition representing 110,000 outdoor businesses, nonprofits and associations. “This gives the industry a seat at the table supporting the most comprehensive package of outdoor recreation bills in a generation.”

The Bureau of Economic Analysis measures the industry in three categories: “conventional” outdoor recreation, “other” outdoor recreation and “supporting” SEE RECREATION, P21

Positive impact of green roofs

G

reen roofs, also known as vegetated roofs or living roofs, are recognized as a sustainable strategy for urban development. These ecofriendly rooftops offer a multitude of environmental, economic and social benefits, making them a valuable addition to modern cityscapes.

Denver implemented its Green Building Ordinance in 2017, requiring adherence to environmentally sustainable standards for commercial and multifamily buildings over 25,000

square feet and for major renovations.

These standards include green roofs or roofs with solar panels as an option for compliance. This forward-thinking policy encourages eco-friendly urban development and contributes to Denver’s commitment to environmental responsibility, positioning the city as a leader in green building practices.

One of the most significant advantages of green roofs is their

positive environmental impact. They act as natural insulators, reducing the energy consumption of buildings by moderating indoor temperatures.

By absorbing carbon dioxide and filtering the air, vegetation on green roofs contributes to improved air quality and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. They also mitigate the urban heat island effect, lowering ambient temperatures in densely populated areas. This is particularly important in a city like Denver, where average temperatures are up to five degrees warmer than surrounding

rural and suburban areas.

Green roofs also play a crucial role in stormwater management. They absorb and clean rainwater, reducing the risk of flooding and preventing pollutants from reaching water bodies. This not only safeguards local water quality but also eases the burden on municipal sewage systems during heavy rainfall events.

Adding precious green space also enhances biodiversity, providing habitats for birds,

recreation industry is an economic force.” He said his group was “especially proud” to see the growth in core activities since 2019, with more than 55% of Americans getting outside for recreation.

The BEA is still compiling specific state data, but Colorado ranks sixth among states with the fastest growing outdoor recreation economies. Outdoor recreation employment in Colorado rose 9.2% in 2022, compared with a national average of 7.4%.

A big part of the 2022 growth in Colorado can be credited to snowsports. Nationally, the economic impact of all snow activity — skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling and other winter sports — grew 39%, with spending reaching $13.2 billion. Skiing and snowboarding accounted for $7 billion of that. Colorado contributed $1.4 billion to that winter sports impact, more than twice any other state.

That jibes with ski industry numbers showing both the 202122 and 2022-23 ski seasons as the busiest ever for the nation’s resorts.

And Colorado ski areas reported highs of 14 million visits in 202122 and 14.8 million in 2022-23.

Colorado typically accounts for 20% to 25% of the nation’s ski resort business.

Luis Benitez, the first director of Colorado’s outdoor recreation office who now works as the chief impact officer at the Trust for Public Lands said the trilliondollar mark should sway the federal government to form a federal office of recreation.

“Name another trillion-dollar

economy that does not have a deep, well-constructed overwatch,” he said. “The time is now.”

The new federal office inside the Department of Commerce would direct the Biden Administration’s revived Federal Interagency Council on Outdoor Recreation.

It would support natural resource protection. It would wade into public health and trade policies and promote higher education programs to better hone industry

leaders, Benitez said.

As the race for the 2024 presidency begins, Benitez wants to see all candidates discussing how they will support and protect the nation’s newest trillion-dollar industry.

“The ’t’ really shifts the conversation,” he said. “The ’t’ changes things.”

industries.

The conventional category includes cycling, paddling, fishing, climbing, hunting, motorized recreation, RVing and skiing. Other recreation categories include going to amusement parks, concerts and sporting events, playing field sports, taking guided tours and gardening. Supporting industries include construction and travel.

Using the BEA yardstick, travel is the largest contributor to the outdoor recreation economy, accounting for more than $339 million — or roughly 40% — of the outdoor economy. The industries supporting outdoor recreation are up 28% compared with 2021, while the economic activity in the core outdoor recreation categories is up 12%.

But since 2018, when the bureau first began studying the outdoor economy, the economic impact of core activities are up 36%.

That’s understandable considering the spectacular growth and appeal of outdoor recreation in 2020 and 2021 as the pandemic pushed more people outside.

Now, as other industries, like travel, rebound from the pandemic downturn, it’s understandable to see stronger growth in those peripheral, supporting economies, Perkins said.

Kent Ebersole, the head of the Boulder-based Outdoor Industries Association, said the $1.1 trillion mark “proves that the outdoor

How many missed days of school are too many?

BY YESENIA ROBLES CHALKBEAT COLORADO

You might have seen recent headlines about the growing number of kids missing school.

In Colorado, just this fall, state officials said almost a third of students are chronically absent. The number has gone up significantly since the pandemic and schools are struggling to figure out how to get kids to return to classes.

Kids might miss school for a number of reasons, including for work, an illness, a lack of transportation, or to care for younger siblings. Absences also go up near the holidays as families go on vacation and figure a few missed school days can’t hurt.

But, regardless of the reason, research shows consistently missing school can affect a child’s learning.

Missed days can add up more quickly than you think. Here’s what you should know: What’s the big deal? Why is missing school such a problem?

When kids miss school, they miss out on learning opportunities. Just a couple of missed days might mean a child can fall behind on several topics or lessons, and sometimes, there isn’t a good way for them to easily catch up.

Research shows that students who

miss a lot of school are more likely to not be able to read on grade level by third grade, and later on are more likely to fail classes and drop out of school.

“Attendance matters and being engaged in learning matters,” said Johann Liljengren, director of dropout prevention and student reengagement at the Colorado Department of Education.

Schools also stress attendance when Count Day comes up in October.

Students must be enrolled and present in school during the window, so they can be counted and so the school receives state money for that student.

So, how many missed school days are too many?

The research that links bad outcomes to missing school usually looks at students missing just 10% of school time.

In Colorado, that would mean about two days a month, or about one day every other week. Over the course of the school year, that would add up to missing a whole month of school.

And in schools where classes are only four days per week, it’s even easier to reach that 10% of missed time.

What is chronic absenteeism?

insects and other wildlife where they are typically scarce. The benefits of green roofs extend into the economic realm as well. By reducing energy costs through improved insulation and extending the lifespan of roofing materials, they save money for building owners in the long run, making them a sound investment.

Denver Botanic Gardens has been at the cutting edge of green roof development in Denver. The York Street campus has two publicly accessible green roof installations, a smaller green roof above the Offshoots Café, and Mordecai Children’s Garden, built on top of the visitor parking garage. These two green roofs have served as living laboratories, allowing the Gardens’ staff and scientific collaborators to improve plant selection for vegetated roofs in Denver’s dry climate and

MISSED DAYS FROM PAGE 22

A student who is missing 10% of school time is considered chronically absent.

The state tracks percentages of how many students are chronically absent in a school or district. It’s a measure that can signal inequities among different groups of students and can be a red flag that shows students need more support.

But what if the absences are excused?

In short, it doesn’t matter. When research looks at school absences, both excused and unexcused missed days still have the same results because students are missing new lessons either way.

When the state counts who is chronically absent, it also doesn’t matter if those absences are excused or unexcused.

Can children or parents end up in court over missed school?

It can happen. In this case, whether an absence is excused or not does matter.

State law says that a school district can identify a student as “truant” when they have more than 10 unexcused absences in the year, or

better quantify their environmental benefits. Currently, Gardens’ staff is working to establish vegetation on green roofs through direct seeding, which is more cost-effective and results in more biodiverse plantings than industry-standard plant palettes. Other exciting work in Colorado is being pioneered by researchers at Colorado State University, who are leveraging the combined environmental benefits of green roofs and solar panels to grow crops on rooftops under a protective canopy of energygenerating panels, a practice known as rooftop agrivoltaics.

As cities such as Denver continue to evolve, green roofs are becoming an increasingly vital component of a sustainable future. With the continued enthusiasm and backing of governments, cultural and academic institutions, Denver can remain a leader in this field.

Michael Guidi is the manager of horticulture research for the Denver Botanic Gardens. four in a month. The law doesn’t say that students have to be sent to truancy court, and many school districts will try sending parents warnings and will try to help find other solutions first.

If you get a letter from your school saying that your child is at risk of being designated as truant, the best thing to do is to talk to your school. Not communicating could lead schools to think the issue isn’t being taken seriously and to involve the courts.

I need help or I want to talk about my case with someone. Who can help?

Your first stop should be your child’s school. It will be important to talk through the barriers for your child to attend school every day. The school can then point to services within or outside of the school that might help.

For example, schools might connect a student to tutoring if they aren’t in school because they feel like they’re struggling, or might connect a family to services if the problem is related to issues with housing or health care.

Some schools have had creative solutions including pairing students so they can walk to school with a buddy who can hold them accountable, and make them feel safer than being alone.

RICHARDS FROM PAGE 15

Wilderness guides love saying things like “misery makes memories,” or “embrace the suck.”

It’s good for a laugh when rain, mud or a sudden freeze moves in, but it helps make living deep in the wilderness an experience to learn from and remember. It also breaks the water-pooper spell we fall into in the “real world.” Being responsible for our personal needs connects us to the realities of life that modern civilization hides.

Our elk camp is located in an aspen forest licking down into Gambel oak brush, and every year I notice that the land is drier and hotter. Aspens are not doing well.

The mature trees are dead or dying and only saplings seem to have any vigor. A little creek used to run cool enough to hold some fingerling

November 30, 2023No trout, but vegetation is moving higher up the mountain and the creek is warm. The elk rut also happens later in the fall each year.

At some point every season after six weeks in the wild, I drive home, and as I crest the ridge and see the lights of Grand Junction, it hits me: Some 150,000-plus people live in the area, and they all defecate in purified water without a second thought.

For those first few days back in civilization, the absurdity is overwhelming. But I also can see the bigger picture of our careless lives. Living in a wild place separates us from what is essential: Shelter. Energy. Food. Clean water.

Waste removal. We’re forced to take individual responsibility for all of those things in the backcountry.

Of course, I’m a water-pooper, too. No one is immune. No matter how you wipe it, we all clean ourselves with dead trees, even protestors sitting in old growth

forests.

I might just be a river rat and mule skinner, but I know that many of our most pressing environmental and social issues stem from this water-pooper line of thinking.

Stepping out of the system to take responsibility for ourselves, even for a few days in the wild, can be eye-opening. It’s amazing to realize how fragile our luxuries are, from toilets that whisk waste away

to having clean water pour out of a tap.

It is unwise to take these luxuries for granted.

Anglers want motorboats. Outdoor filmmakers and trail runners want exemptions from the ban on commercial enterprise in the wilderness.

“The climbers are just one more recreational group trying to establish the first big chink in the armor of the Wilderness Act,” Nickas said. “This is an ongoing fight.”

Wilderness Watch was among more than 40 conservation groups

in March who sent a letter to federal lawmakers urging them to oppose the “Protect America’s Rock Climbing Act,” saying “maintaining wilderness character requires that climbers accept a higher level of risk in wilderness and maintain some humility and respect for the peaks they scale.”

“If we can waive prohibitions on installations for climbing, then why can’t we waive the prohibition on motorized equipment and vehicles

for recreation?” Nickas said. “The Wilderness Act is very clear. It says ‘there shall be no.’ But the agencies seem to be thinking ‘Well, there should be some.’”

The Forest Service and Park Service are collecting public comment on the proposed climbing management plan through Jan. 16.

Role Players: Orediggers work behind the scenes to elevate football team’s performance

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLOROADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Just like a large-scale theater production, becoming the No. 1 football team in the nation doesn’t happen overnight. It requires everyone giving their all day in and day out, for months on end.

Everyone from the offensive and defensive linemen to the strength & conditioning coaches must be firing on all cylinders from the offseason to the final game, and that’s exactly where the Colorado School of Mines football team has found itself in 2023.

But, while some step into the spotlight on game day, others work hard behind the scenes.

Jake Sype, a redshirt sophomore quarterback, said all the Orediggers give 100% every day because they love the game and they love each other. Even if they never receive any individual recognition, they work hard to become the best versions of themselves and help the team succeed, he described.

“It’s kind of the coolest culture ever,” Sype said of the Mines program. “Nobody’s selfish. It’s all selfless. … Even if you’re not getting the spotlight, you still come out here and give your all, because you love the game and that’s what you do.”

Josh Wojciechowicz, a redshirt junior and the team’s long snapper, said the idea of “role players” comes up a lot in sports, particularly basketball. These are players who don’t worry about playing time but focus on doing whatever needs to be done for the team to succeed.

Wojciechowicz emphasized consistency and reliability in his role as long snapper, saying he has “the exact same job every time,” and likened it to shooting free throws.

He played offensive and defensive line in youth leagues and into high school, where he picked up the role of long snapper. He was offered a scholarship at Mines, and took

over as starting long snapper last season. He mostly practices kickers Jacob Click, Blake Doud and Hunter Pearson.

Wojciechowicz felt that being a part of the Mines football team is its own reward, saying he enjoys spending time with his teammates on and off the field.

But, when Orediggers receive individual honors, their teammates understand how they played a role in that, he described. When senior quarterback John Matocha won last year’s Harlon Hill trophy,

the offensive linemen celebrated too; and when Doud and Pearson received First-Team All-RMAC honors earlier this month, Wojciechowicz felt he contributed to their successes.

“Just knowing that you’re part of it, to me, is all the blessing,” he continued.

Team guys

For many of the behind-thescenes Orediggers, the real game day is practice.

About 50 players — roughly

two at each position — are on the scout team, who prepare the Mines starters by imitating their upcoming opponent in practice. Sype, a quarterback for the scout team, said that means learning everything from the opposing team’s playbook to their footwork.

“If we’re making practice hard for (the starters), it makes their game day easier,” he continued. “That’s our entire goal. We all love it, and we all take pride in it.”

Runners Up: Mines XC places 2nd, 3rd at NCAA championships The teams played out the final three minutes, but the Orediggers couldn’t score a tying goal. Mines still outshot Colorado Mesa, though, 29-6 overall and 7-2 in shots on goal.

The Orediggers’ season ends with a 15-4-3 overall record. While it wasn’t the way the seven departing seniors hoped to close out their collegiate soccer careers, they leave with several team and personal accomplishments under their belts, including RMAC titles and four consecutive NCAA tournament appearances.

Mines soccer falls in overtime, eliminated from national tournament

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Colorado School of Mines Orediggers are bringing home two sets of metals — and medals — from the NCAA Division II Cross Country Championships.

The men’s team, which won last year’s national title, is now the national runner-up after the Nov. 18 race in Joplin, Missouri. Meanwhile, the women’s team repeated last year’s third-place finish.

The women’s team had the most All-American finishes in program history, with Holly Moser, Jenna Ramsey-Rutledge, Clare Peters and Molly Maksin all finishing in the top 40. It’s the Orediggers’ fourthconsecutive podium finish.

Moser placed the best among the Orediggers, running the 6K course in 20:26.3 and finishing 18th overall.

On the other side of the top 40 runners, Mines’ Margaux Basart, Riley McGrath and Grace Strongman placed 50th, 58th and 79th respectively. The Orediggers had a 27-second spread among their four scoring runners, and all seven crossed within a minute of each other.

On the men’s side, the Orediggers scored 79 points, just nine points shy of national champion Wingate.

All seven runners finished within 56 seconds of each other.

Loic Scomparin was Mines’ first runner in, placing eighth and finishing the 10K in 29:23.9.

Duncan Fuehne took 11th; Logan Bocovich, 16th; and Paul Knight, 23rd in 29:58.2. The four received All-American honors for finishing in the top 40.

Rounding out Mines’ roster was John O’Malley, who just missed AllAmerican honors in 41st place; JP Rutledge, a Pittsburg, Kansas native who took 52nd on his former home course; and Andrew Kaye, who finished 71st.

From left, runners Jenna Ramsey-Rutledge, Clare Peters, Holly Moser, and Molly Maksin celebrate the Colorado School of Mines women’s team winning third place at the Nov. 18 NCAA Division II championship race in Joplin, Missouri. The four also received individual honors for placing among the first 40 runners.

According to Mines Athletics, the men’s team has now finished third or better every year since 2015, and fifth or better every year since 2009.

Both sets of Orediggers now have to hit the ground running for their indoor track & field season, which kicks off in December.

Mines soccer suffers repeat defeat to Colorado Mesa in NCAA tourney

The Colorado School of Mines soccer team got a rematch with conference rival Colorado Mesa, and for the second consecutive Sunday, the Mavericks took down the Orediggers on their home pitch, winning 1-0.

The two faced off in the Nov. 12 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference title game, with Colorado Mesa winning 3-0. Both teams were placed in the same region for the NCAA Division II tournament, where Mines had a first-round bye while Colorado Mesa took down No. 6 seed Texas Woman’s 1-0.

With elimination on the line, the No. 2 seed Orediggers hosted the No. 3 seed Mavericks for the Nov. 19 second-round game. After a scoreless regulation period, the teams played two 10-minute overtime periods.

Mines had several good looks and near-misses throughout the game, including in both overtime periods,

FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 26

Freshman linebacker William Brown was also proud of being on the scout team. He said he plays against the best offense in the country every week, and he doesn’t take that opportunity for granted.

As a true freshman, Brown believed Mines’ football culture had helped him and his classmates acclimate to the program and their roles in it, as well as the college environment in general. There are great leaders ready and able to help the Orediggers grow and succeed, he said, both on the field and in the classroom.

“It’s a blessing to be a part of it,” Brown continued.

Even though scout team members don’t really get reps with the Mines starters, Sype and Brown said they all work to improve their individual skills. Sype’s enjoyed seeing young Orediggers like Flynn Schiele, Landon Walker, Braelon Tate and Nick Stone transition from making plays for the scout team to making plays on game day.

“To see their development come to fruition … that’s my favorite thing,” Sype continued.

He and Brown used the term “team guys” to describe how unselfish all the Orediggers are and how hard they work — whether they perform in the spotlight or work behind the scenes. All that effort has elevated the Mines football team to the national stage and a No. 1 ranking, as it prepares to power through the postseason to its first NCAA championship.

“It’s really cool to see everyone getting the spotlight and getting the attention they all deserve,” Sype continued. “ … It’s just really cool to see all of them succeed because, in a way, it makes me feel like I’m succeeding.”

Senior linebacker Adrian Moreno, left, gives advice to freshman linebacker William Brown during the Colorado School of Mines football team’s Nov. 16 practice. Brown, a member of the Mines scout team, said he enjoys playing against “the best offense in PHOTOS BY CORINNE WESTEMAN the nation” every week at practice.

Redshirt sophomore quarterback Jake Sype does a passing drill during the Colorado School of Mines football team’s Nov. 16 practice. Sype, a member of the Mines scout team, enjoys seeing younger players develop and transition from the scout team to the starting lineup.

Long snapper Josh Wojciechowicz practices with the Colorado School of Mines special teams during the Nov. 16 football practice. Wojciechowicz, a redshirt junior who took over as Mines’ starting long snapper last season, emphasized reliability and consistency in his role as long snapper.
