BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On Jan. 9, the Golden City Council celebrated its proverbial changing of the guard, as outgoing Councilors JJ Trout and Casey Brown gave their departing remarks before Councilors Lisa Vitry and Patty Evans were sworn in.

Vitry succeeds Trout in representing District 1, which encompasses southern Golden, and Evans succeeds Brown in representing District 2, or northern Golden.

Vitry is a board-certified medical technologist and won the Nov. 7 election with 47% of the vote among the four District 1 candidates. Evans, who’s served on Golden’s Planning Commission, had 55% of the vote over another candidate.

Additionally, Mayor Laura Weinberg was sworn in for her second term during the Jan. 9 meeting. Weinberg received

47% of the vote over four challengers.

Weinberg, Vitry and Evans were elected to four-year terms.

After the swearing-in ceremony, the incoming councilors and their colleagues received their new subcommittee and regional board assignments.

Councilor Don Cameron noted a newly created liaison position between City Council and Colorado School of Mines. Councilor Rob Reed will serve as the inaugural liaison, with Cameron stating that this is an important relationship for the city to maintain and strengthen.

Reed will also succeed Trout as mayor pro tem, who will act as mayor when Weinberg is unavailable.

In their departing remarks, Trout and Brown thanked their loved ones, fellow Laura Weinberg is sworn in for a second term as Golden’s mayor during the Jan. 9 councilors and voters for their support Golden City Council meeting.

Here’s a Statistical Review of the Denver Metro Real Estate Market in 2023

Now that 2023 is in the books, I have done some statistical analysis of the year and how it compared to the other three “Covid years.”

The result of that research is reflected in the various charts on this page. In addition to the “Covid years,” of course, we have the “interest rate surge” years, which had the opposite effect.

Covid unexpectedly super-charged the real estate market, while the interest rate surge put a wet blanket on it. The effects of each are clearly visible in the charts.

One way to do an apples-to-apples comparison of the years is to look at the price per finished square foot, which is independent of the price of the home. In this first chart, you can see how the value of homes using that criterion surged during 2020 and 2021 but dropped quickly in 2022 and has more or less leveled off since:

Looking at the both the median and average sold prices of homes, you see the same trend. I like to look at the median rather than the average when studying the market, because a few multimillion-dollar home sales can have a big effect on the average price of sold homes but has no effect on the median price.

market but because listings go under contract so quickly. However, when interest rates surge as much as they did in 2022-2023, homeowners will refrain from moving up (or downsizing) because of “rate lock.” They don’t want to sell their home with a sub-3% mortgage only to buy a replacement home at double that rate (or more). You can see that in this chart of active vs. sold listings:

In mid-2022 as interest rates began to rise, the sale of homes began to plummet and sellers took or kept their homes off the market at a rate higher than usual. The initial surge in active listings at that time was because fewer listings already on the market were going under contract as buyers waited in hopes that interest rates would decline again. By January 2023 it was evident that rates were staying high, and the pent-up demand of buyers to buy and sellers to sell kicked in.

So, how slow did the market become?

The following charts are good measures of that. As the pandemic took effect in March 2020, buyers flooded the market (as reflected above) buying homes further from their places of work and/or with more room for home offices now that work-at-home became a thing. This depleted the supply of homes for sale (again as reflected above), and caused the median days on market to plunge to 5 or 6 days. Because there are always overpriced homes which languish on the market, the average days in MLS (DIM)

However, the fact that the average sold price is consistently higher than the median price shows how active the market in million-dollar homes is.

In a seller’s market, the number of active listings drops, not because homeowners aren’t putting their homes on the

remained over 20 until finally sellers saw the writing on the wall and lowered their prices enough to sell, hence the low average DIM by mid-2023.

By November 2022, new listings had dropped to a record low, but that was matched last month as shown in the next chart. Expired listings are another meas-

ure of the market’s health — and of how many sellers overprice their homes.

That, too, hit a peak in late 2022 and again at the end of 2023.

One of my favorite measurements of the seller’s market during Covid was the average ratio of sold price to listing price, indicating how much the average home benefited from a bidding war. In early 2021 and 2022, as shown in the following chart, it reached a record of

about 6% over asking price. Prior to 2020 it was typical for homes, on average, to sell slightly below asking price.

As this last chart shows, homes aren’t now selling for above their original

price but are selling for about their current listing price once that price had been lowered enough.

As I’ve said so many times in the past (see the archive of my columns online at www.JimSmithColumns.com), pricing your home at or slightly below the market will typically net you more than if you list it for a wished-for price and then chase the market downhill.

Also, just like politics, all real estate is local. Even within my hometown of Golden, I have watched homes languish on the market in one neighborhood while they trigger bidding wars a mile or two away.

Bottom line, always hire an experienced Realtor like those of us at Golden Real Estate if you want to price your home right and get the highest price.

Colorado Cowboy Gathering returns to Golden for poetry, music preciates the opportunity to enjoy cowboy poetry and music, saying, “It’s different. It’s not country. It’s not Western. It’s down to earth.”

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLOROADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

If anyone can brave sub-zero temperatures and snowy conditions to put on a night-to-remember show, it’s cowboy poets and musicians.

After taking a break last year, the Colorado Cowboy Gathering returned to Golden Jan. 11-14, but this time at a new venue.

Or, technically two.

After hosting a special membersonly show Jan. 11 at the new Miners Alley Performing Arts Center, the Colorado Cowboy Gathering held its Jan. 12-14 shows at the Buffalo Rose.

During the Jan. 12 “Kickin’ It Off ” show, the place was nearly filled to the brim. From the front row to the back of the balcony, people eagerly listened to the performers’ songs and poems, which were a mix of classics and originals.

Musician Lori Beth Brooke, a firsttime CCG performer from Texas, was impressed to see how packed the Buffalo Rose was on a Friday afternoon. She and the other performers described how they see each other at Western events throughout the year, so the annual Golden-based gathering feels like a family reunion.

Many of the regular attendees felt similarly. Golden’s Paul Chamberlin said he and his wife Nona love seeing their friends among the performers and fellow attendees every year.

“It’s a fun weekend,” Chamberlin said. “ … We’re here to try and help

support it because it’s a good event.

The Colorado Cowboy Gathering started 35 years ago at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities and typically coincides with the National Western Stock Show.

Around 2011, CCG moved to the American Mountaineering Center in downtown Golden, board member Dennis Russell said. The 2021 show was canceled because of COVID-19 but returned in January 2022.

However, the organizers decided to forgo last year’s show, with Russell describing how everyone needed a break.

For 2024, the organizers wanted to keep the shows in Golden but find a bigger venue, Russell continued. So, the Buffalo Rose seemed like a good choice.

“The town wants us here, and we want to be here,” Russell said, adding how welcoming the Chamber of Commerce, the city and residents have been.

Dave Stamey, a singer/songwriter who’s been performing at CCG for 15-plus years, described how CCG has changed since he started performing while it was still at the Arvada Center.

GATHERING FROM PAGE 4

He said CCG continues to develop a very loyal audience, both locally and long-distance. It draws in regular attendees from all over Colorado, plus others who drive in from Kansas, Wyoming and elsewhere, he described.

Stamey, who headlined the Jan. 14 show, traveled from California himself because he loves performing in Golden every year.

“It’s a neat place,” he said. …and the skies are not cloudy all day

For the uninitiated, Russell emphasized how the Colorado Cowboy Gathering doesn’t showcase the country music one hears on the radio, but rather songs and poems — whether original or traditional — about the cowboy lifestyle.

Russell, a poet and singer/songwriter, said he writes about his life

keeping cows and horses in southern Colorado. Many of his fellow performers had similar experiences, like Miska Paget who shared poems about being a veterinarian or Brooke who shared her yodeling, accordion-playing and songwriting skills.

While she’s been playing accordion since second grade, Brooke started yodeling about 20 years ago. She said it’s about emphasizing the break in one’s voice that one normally covers up, but people can practice how to yodel versus sing.

While she only performed 10 minutes during the Jan. 12 show, she expected a full slate for the Jan. 13-14 shows. But, she hoped to perform at CCG again if invited.

Finally, Russell wanted newcomers to know CCG is family-friendly and features about 20 of the very best cowboy and cowgirl performers in the country.

“They have to come,” Russell said of those who’ve never attended a show. “ … After one time, they’re hooked.”

As attendees listen, Dale Page recites a poem during the Jan. 12 Colorado Cowboy Gathering’s “Kickin’ It Off” show at Golden’s Buffalo Rose. Western musicians and poets from across the country performed during at shows Jan. 11-14.

Golden forgoing Fourth of July fireworks in 2024 and beyond City to invest money in another form of celebration

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Golden won’t have Fourth of July fireworks for the foreseeable future.

At its Jan. 9 meeting, City Council decided against signing a contract for a 2024 Independence Day display, and most councilors were OK with forgoing fireworks indefinitely.

The councilors also believed hosting a drone show would be too expensive and logistically difficult to replace fireworks for Independence Day, opting to instead invest the money in another way to celebrate the holiday, such as expanding the current Lions Club event, reviving the children’s bike parade or something else.

“I don’t think fireworks equates to patriotism,” Councilor Don Cameron said. “It’s time to do something different.”

New Councilors Patty Evans and Lisa Vitry, who were sworn in during the Jan. 9 meeting, opposed hosting

a Fourth of July fireworks display.

Evans pointed out how Colorado School of Mines hosts a fantastic fireworks display for its E-Days every April, which she said is more of a local event while Golden’s Fourth of July celebration tends to attract out-of-towners. Evans and Vitry supported using city funds to celebrate the holiday another way, with Evans saying it should be in a daytime, family-friendly environment.

“We don’t want to have something that encourages people to stay (late) and drink more,” she continued.

City Manager Scott Vargo clarified Jan. 10 that the city had budgeted about $45,000 for 2024 Independence Day fireworks. Staff plans to redirect some or all those funds toward “an alternative or expanded Independence Day activity or event,” he said, and would be discussing possibilities with the Lions Club soon.

Survey results

The Golden City Council has considered eliminating fireworks sever-

al times in recent years. Councilors and community members have continually voiced concerns about: • Increased fire dangers and the likelihood of dry conditions on Independence Day; • The noise impacts on people and pets; • People’s behavior as they linger in downtown Golden between the Lions Club’s daytime event and the nighttime fireworks display; and • The annual cost of $40,000$45,000.

Plus, as Goldenites saw in 2023, fireworks can be rescheduled or canceled for dry conditions or weather events. The 2023 Independence Day show was moved to Sept. 1 for the summer’s final Movies & Music in the Park event.

Councilors have considered alternatives, like a drone show. However, then officials must decide where to host it. Unlike fireworks, drone shows must be viewed from a certain angle to enjoy the images.

Councilors’ comments

After a Dec. 5 study session, the City of Golden hosted an online survey asking respondents about their Independence Day preferences.

During the Jan. 9 City Council meeting, Thriving Communities Director Sarah Vaine said the survey received 154 responses over two weeks, and fireworks was the most chosen option with 48% of the vote.

However, she pointed out that the other 52% respondents opted against fireworks, with 22% in favor of a drone show and 23% in favor of replacing an aerial display with something else, like dancers, music, etc.

Seven respondents said the city shouldn’t do anything beyond the Lions Club’s event, and four gave their own suggestions.

Vaine said that the respondents’ comments weren’t surprising. Many pro-fireworks respondents said it’s an Independence Day tradition that they wanted to see continue, while others pointed out problems like fire danger and noise.

While Vaine felt the enthusiasm for a drone show was low, she emphasized how attached the respondents were to

Mayor Laura Weinberg said Golden’s window to sign a fireworks contract for this year was closing, so City Council had to decide Jan. 9 whether to pursue a 2024 display.

Weinberg and five of the councilors were OK with forgoing fireworks indefinitely. Councilor Paul Haseman was the only one who insisted on a final year of fireworks in 2024.

Haseman pointed out that fireworks received the most support of any survey option, saying the city should have a 2024 display but tell the public it’s the final one.

Whatever the city wants to do in future years, Haseman emphasized it should be “something that celebrates the patriotism that brought this country to be.”

Cameron believed that if the city had one more display in 2024, people would still be “up in arms” next year.

He said Golden should rip off the proverbial Band-Aid now, adding, “I don’t think we gain much by doing it one more year.”

Councilor Rob Reed initially sided with Haseman about hosting a final display in 2024, but later decided against it. Reed said Golden’s Fourth of

July fireworks have been rescheduled several years because of dry conditions or poor weather, and didn’t want the city to commit money to a display “that may or may not happen,” he continued.

“I would rather see that energy and resources put toward some other use,” Reed said.

Weinberg and Councilor Bill Fisher likewise supported a different type of celebration, such as expanding the Lions Club event or pairing it with another event like the children’s bike parade.

Weinberg recalled the first time she visited Golden in the ‘90s, which happened to be the Fourth of July. Her family attended the Lions Club event, saying the entire atmosphere “felt very small town.”

That wasn’t the case last year in downtown Golden, she said, describing how the Clear Creek corridor is now an attraction for people in the summer months, particularly on holidays. She believed fireworks encouraged visitors to linger on Fourth of July evening, which she said overwhelms the corridor.

With six councilors opposed to fireworks and all seven opposed to a drone show, Weinberg recommended city staff use the intervening months to inform the public there won’t be Independence Day aerial displays in the foreseeable future.

The two parcels — previously part of unincorporated Jefferson County — were annexed into the city and rezoned at the Jan. 8 Arvada City Council meeting by a unanimous vote.

James Warren Andrews

August 26, 1929 - December 19, 2023

James Warren Andrews (Warren), 94, of Golden, died on Tuesday, December 19th, 2023, in Golden, Colorado.

Warren was born August 26th, 1929, in Fort Collins, Colorado, the son of James Henderson Andrews and Lydia Warren Andrews.

Warren spent his early years on the family ranch in Livermore, Colorado. He graduated in 1947 from Fort Collins High School.

In 1948 he enrolled in the Navy and spent much of his time in Guam, which he very much enjoyed (probably because it was warm!). Afterwards, in 1950 he traveled by ship to Africa, working odd jobs as a day laborer for mining companies, and visiting many mines, especially in South Africa.

Besides his interest in mines, one of his favorite memories was a foray to Victoria Falls.

In 1951 he enrolled in the Colorado School of Mines and received an Engineer of Mines degree in 1963. It took him a while to complete the program because of a number of health setbacks (migraines, etc.). Warren later worked as a mine ventilation engineer for the Federal Government from 19661996. While still working, he completed a Bachelor of Arts in History from Metropolitan State College of Denver in 1994, and then a master’s degree in history in 1998. Clearly education was important to him, especially history.

Moreover, Warren was an active professional land surveyor, usually on the weekends. He helped create the Professional Land Surveyors of Colorado (PLSC) in 1966 as a means for improving the quality of surveying in Colorado. Warren served as

president from 1975-76 and was nominated for Surveyor of the Year in 1981. He kept himself heavily involved in the organization and published a number of write ups in its quarterly journal Side Shots.

To be sure, surveying was Warren’s preferred mode of exercise. He carried his transit up and down mountains and could cut down 2-foot diameter trees with an axe in less than 20 minutes!

Warren married Nancy Jean Bailey, in Boise, Idaho in 1959. During their early married years, they lived in a charming house on 614 Newton Street in Denver.

At that time, they started raising their two children, Bradford Warren and Karen Anne.

In 1971, they began building a house in Golden and moved into the house in 1973.

It was barely functional at the time, but they never had a mortgage, gradually finishing the abode over the years. One exciting investment was the immense retaining wall in the backyard built of 400-lb stones from the old Mines gymnasium.

Warren had a long fulfilling life. He was quite the talker, especially anything mining, or Scotland-related. He was a card-carrying, kilt-wearing member of the St. Andrews Society and proud of his affiliation with six Scottish clans. Warren will be dearly missed by friends and family. He is survived by his son Bradford and daughter-in-law Akiko Nosaka of Tacoma, Washington, and his son in-law, Andy Sheldon of Westminster, two beloved grandchildren, Audrey Sheldon of Chicago, and Graham Sheldon of Denver, and his two sisters, Julia Andrews-Jones of Golden, and Helen Bonham of Kennewick Washington.

OBITUARIES ANDREWS

Nancy Jean (Bailey) Andrews March 25, 1928 - December 2, 2023

Nancy Jean Andrews, 95, of Golden, died on Saturday, December 2nd, 2023, in Lakewood, Colorado. Her husband, James Warren Andrews passed away two weeks later on December 19th, 2023. Nancy was born Nancy Jean Bailey on March 25th, 1928, in Boise, Idaho, daughter of Reverend Benjamin Bailey of the Second Presbyterian Church in Boise and Lela Synder. Nancy also had an older brother, Philip Louis Bailey, who passed away in 2019.

Nancy grew up in Boise and graduated from Boise High School in 1945. She then received an Associate Arts degree from Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri in 1947, and then a Bachelor of Arts degree, in English, in 1949, from Lindenwood College in St. Charles, Missouri. After college, she spent a year each in Boston and San Francisco working various jobs. These were formative experiences that in part gave her the confidence to go to Europe by boat in 1968. She did this solo, something rare for a young woman in those days. Fortunately, she opted to return from Europe in late August, leaving former Czechoslovakia two days before the Soviets invaded.

Nancy married James Warren Andrews in Boise, Idaho in 1959. They lived for a while in a charming house on 614 Newton Street in Denver, Colorado, raising their two children Bradford Warren and Karen Ann. In 1971, they started building a house in Golden - Nancy’s own design - and the family moved in 1973.

Nancy had a lifetime love for travel.

She typically saved for a major trip every four years – her husband Warren would complain about her squirreling money away, only to be all smiles once the plane took off. Besides Europe, Nancy (and Warren) managed to visit countries in the Middle east, Persia, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Travel inspired Nancy’s poetry, an intellectual endeavor that she pursued for most of her life. She published her first book, Dimensions, in 1976, and then The Invisible Season in 1998. She also published poems in journals, including Poets Lore, and Bloomsbury Review. In 1976 she was awarded an honorable mention in the Prize Poets National Anthology. These experiences taught her that publishing poetry is not easy. Consequently, she started the James Andrews & Co., Inc. publishing company in 1986 to provide struggling, young, and talented poets with a place to publish their works.

Nancy had a fun-loving exuberance for life. She was also an avid exerciser and sports enthusiast – loved the Broncos unless they were losing! She was quick to laugh, making light jokes up until the day she died. Like any doting mother, Nancy was proud of her children, and she made it a point to show genuine interest in the lives of her family and friends. She will be dearly missed.

Nancy is survived by her son Bradford and daughter-in-law Akiko Nosaka in Tacoma, Washington, her son in-law, Andy Sheldon of Denver, and two beloved grandchildren, Audrey Sheldon and Graham Sheldon of Denver.

“clean-up effort” that brings the pump station into the city and allows for three additional lots to be constructed. It is the final administrative step needed for the development to move forward.

“The recent City Council meeting was really a smaller effort to clean up some parcels around the primary Canyon Pines property and bring

them into the City of Arvada in order to add three new lots and a parcel for the City’s new water pump station,” Ellington said.

Councilmember John Marriott praised the development and said it would add to Arvada’s diversity of housing stock in a multitude of ways, as well as stretch the city west of Highway 93 for the first time.

“I think it’s particularly good news that we have this new very high-end development here in Arvada,” Marriott said. “We talk a lot about development, and all the attention seems to be on how cheaply you can do development. Well, it’s really

Steve Hansen

November 7, 1967 - December 10, 2023

A tribute to my brother: Steve made our whole family laugh all the time.

There’s a photo of my dad receiving birthday gifts in 1982. He’s holding a ceramic craft I made for him. He’s laughing so hard he looks as if he’s in pain. Steve did that. He is the one who put our dad in such a joyous and riotous state. A one-liner, like always, and we all fell to pieces. Many people beyond our family knew his quick wit. Mom has shared with many friends the countless hilarious expressions Steve coined from an early age.

Steve was born in Forest City, Iowa. He attended college at UC-Santa Barbara before graduating from the University of Northern Iowa, where he met his wife, Melanie. Not long after graduating, Steve and Melanie moved to Houston, Minnesota.

Owning property in the sublime Driftless Area turned Steve into a nature lover and environmentalist, a talented landscaper, and one-time boat-builder. After divorcing, Steve moved to Golden, Colorado where he turned to writing full time, focusing on sustainability. Steve had found his home in the West. He spent time in Oregon before settling in Durango, Colorado for the last few years of his life.

Learning the values of our parents, Steve was a member of the world’s greatest

tribe—that of dog lovers. Over the years, his dog family included Heidi, Brandy, Muffin, Kizzie, Abbie, Tasha, Penny, and Sadie. One of his favorite activities was a daily hike outside of Durango with Sadie.

Steve is preceded in death by his sister Linda Hansen, two generous souls—his father Ron Hansen and his stepfather Jon Closson, and his lovely stepmother Margaret Hansen, along with his dogs Tasha and Penny. He is survived by his mother Diane Closson, sister Kim Hale, brother Michael (Renee) Hansen; uncle Jim (Peg) Fetrow; aunt Sheila Hansen; Jon’s children Dave Closson, Deanna Grosskopf, and Linda Land-Closson; Margaret’s children Grant Piepergerdes, Amy Warren, and Anne Armitage; nephews Zack Tannahill and Carter Hale; and nieces Anna and Caroline Hansen. His chill little rez dog Sadie will find a new home with Kim and give comfort to his family.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the universe, Tasha and Penny follow Steve on a hike while he shares a joke with Dad. A celebration of life to honor Steve will be planned for 2024. In lieu of flowers, the family asks you to donate to your local humane society or animal shelter in Steve’s memory.

VOICES Get ready for three days of music and beer at the UllrGrass Festival

W

e are finally hitting those sub-zero temperatures outside and the snow is starting to be measured in feet versus inches up in the high country, so what better time to schedule an outdoor music and beer festival than January?

Well, this is Golden, Colorado and we kind of like to do things our own way around here. That’s why we have an annual event like this that always turns out to be named as one of the Top Ten Outdoor Festivals in Colorado by our colleagues over at Westword.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, it’s time once again for our favorite Norse God to smile over his namesake event, Ullr-

Grass!

Ullr. It’s pronounced “ooler.”

For those of you who aren’t familiar with this character, he’s the Norse God of Snow and Winter.

If you are a veteran skier, you might be familiar with him as his name comes John Akal up, half in jest, when you want to pray for a good powder day or something. “Say a little prayer to Ullr.”

Every January in Golden we have this UllrGrass Festival and it’s three days of music starting on Friday

AVENUE FLASHES

with a huge beer festival thrown in on Saturday and more music, fun and games on Sunday. This year it’s happening on Jan. 26-28.

Basically, it’s set up like this: The UllrGrass Beer Festival portion takes place in Parfet Park on Saturday afternoon from 12-4 p.m. You can enjoy live music on two alternating stages while sampling craft brews and ciders provided by over 30 breweries from across Colorado.

That’s the beer festival day.

The evening shows on Friday and Saturday nights will take place in Parfet Park under heated big top tents. Sunday is “Free Family Day” at UllrGrass; featuring an UllrEgg Hunt, craft activities and games.

Food trucks provide a variety of

tasty treats all weekend long.

There are a great variety of bands featuring bluegrass, newgrass, funk and jamband artists.

This year’s line up includes Hunker Down, The Coral Creek String Band, A’Beary Jerry Ullr Jam, Nordic Daughter, Opal Agafia, Pick & Howl, Bill Nershi & Todd Shaefer, The Magic Beans, Erinn Peet Lukes, Adam Kinghorn Bluegrass and Super Magic.

OK, as this is an outdoor festival in the middle of Winter, you are going to want to dress warm. In fact, a lot of folks attending wear Viking regalia so they even have a costume contest in the mix.

Family and friends remember beloved Brush legend and Colorado sports official Gerrard Flores Flores died after falling ill while refereeing a wrestling match — one of five sports he officiated

BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Everyone who got to know Gerrard Flores loved him — and Flores knew everyone.

The Brush, Colorado native died doing what he loved — officiating youth wrestling — on Jan. 7. Flores was a father of two boys, grandfather of one, Brush High School homecoming king, three-sport athlete, five-sport official, coach, ordained minister and karaoke aficionado.

He was 55 years old.

Flores was born into a big family — he was one of 13 children. His expe-

riences with sports began at a young age and continued throughout his life, as did his love of his hometown, Brush.

A Beetdigger through and through, even when Flores moved to Colorado Springs, he kept Brush close to his heart, forming a youth baseball organization named after his high school’s mascot.

Flores met his fiancé Rene McElhany in an unlikely place — on the wrestling mat. She joined Flores in his officiating pursuits and encouraged him to try new sports like softball and volleyball. On off nights, the couple would go to youth matches and support other officials “From the beginning, we met on the wrestling mat, and that is where he loved to be,” McElhany said. “But as we got to know each other and started building our relationship, he encouraged me to step on the mat in a different way, and to officiate with him.

“I traveled with him everywhere,” McElhany continued. “(Officiating) was our fun. It was our opportunity to go on a new adventure and do things together. It was how we lived and loved and spent our free time.”

Flores officiated football for 32 years, wrestling for 25 years, baseball for 18 years, softball for 5 years and started officiating volleyball last year.

One of Flores’ six sisters, Malessa Hernandez, said he worked to make the young people he was officiating feel special and was always a positive presence in life.

“When he would officiate wrestling, he would hold the winners’ arm up and ask them, ‘Where are your parents?’ and he would turn them to their parents to represent the winner — but in his eyes every kid was a winner to him,” Hernandez said. “He was not ever in a bad mood, he was just one happy, happy guy.

You can check out the whole schedule, get more information and buy tickets by heading to ullrgrass.com.

As mentioned above, it’s all happening at Parfet Park, which is located on the corner of Washington Avenue and 10th Street here in Golden.

UllrGrass is a volunteer-powered non-profit event with proceeds benefitting the Kids Music Project by Coral Creek which delivers music education and performance to kids in Colorado. You can find out more about them at coralcreekmusic. com/kidsmusicproject.

This whole thing is the brainchild and passion project of Chris and Susannah Thompson, long-time Golden residents who felt Golden needed a signature event in the middle of winter to bring the community together.

Susannah has this to say about it: “The only way this event can happen is with the support of our incredible Golden community. It takes a village to throw a festival with more than 100 volunteers and 50 plus local businesses working together to pull it off. Every year we are humbled by the collaboration of our town.”

So, hats off to Chris and Susannah for putting this terrific event together every year. It’s a lot of work, but it brings Golden a signature event every Winter that’s really unique that has become one of the most successful festivals in the area. You guys rock!

STARTING 2024 WITH A SPLASH

More than 400 locals inaugurate the new year at Evergreen Lake Plunge

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

hether they wanted to support a local cause or wash off any remnants of 2023, more than 400 people from across the Denver metro area celebrated New Year’s Day by jumping into Evergreen Lake.

The annual Evergreen Lake Plunge had record participation in 2024. Nonprofit Active4All, which fundraises for local parks and recreation programs, sold out its 400 pre-registered spots and limited day-of registrations.

The weather was likely a factor, as several plunge veterans said the sunny conditions and 40-degree temperatures made a difference. In other years, participants have faced cloudy, windy weather and literal 0-degree conditions, which made getting out of the water that much worse, they described.

This year’s participants were also a mix of returners and newcomers, with many convincing their friends and relatives to jump too.

Wheat Ridge’s Steve Moyer said doing a Polar Plunge-type event has been on his “bucket list” for years. So, when he decided 2024 would finally be the year he’d take the literal plunge, he convinced three of his loved ones to do it with him.

SPLASH FROM PAGE 14

Moyer even sported a shark hat for the occasion, which was one of many fun costumes people wore to the event.

Evergreen’s Jon Balliet dressed as a hummingbird — complete with sound effects.

Balliet, who’s done the plunge seven or eight times, said he wears a new costume each year. He’s won the costume contest before as a shark eating a person and decided to dress as an elk for 2023’s event.

This year, he chose a hummingbird, saying, “They’re all over Evergreen.”

Brothers Stephen and Greg Leathers — from Highlands Ranch and Englewood, respectively — donned Christmas sweaters and pajama pants for the plunge. Stephen said he talked Greg into doing it, as they both thought it’d be fun.

Greg had plunged before at Lake Michigan, but both were newcomers to the Evergreen event. They appreciated the community aspect of it, noting how many people decided to start 2024 this way — plunging into icy waters together.

Several groups like Evergreen Country Day School seventh-graders and the Evergreen High School girls basketball team plunged together.

Golden High School swimmers Mica Gillaspie and Hanna Heard decided to as well.

Gillaspie, a member of the Evergreen Hurricanes swim team, said she heard about it from her coach and roped Heard into doing it too.

The two said their goals for 2024 included helping the Golden Demons “make it to state.”

The Evergreen Lake Plunge is also a fun New Year’s Day outing for the spectators, like bagpiper Dan Kingsley.

The Lakewood resident said event emcee Alan Gionet recruited him to provide music while participants are waiting in line. Kingsley’s now performed at the event five or six times, describing it as an overall positive experience.

“So many people are out here having a great time,” he said. “ … It’s a good way to start the year off fresh.”

So long, 2023!

Some participants signed up for the 2024 Evergreen Lake Plunge because they had a less-than-ideal 2023 and wanted a powerful way to transition

Dressed as walruses, the Bebarta siblings of Greenwood Village approach the platform for the Jan. 1 Evergreen Lake Plunge. Emma Bebarta, who was doing her third plunge, said she signed her siblings up to do it with her this year.

into the new year.

Greenwood Village siblings Emma, Grace and Owen Bebarta described their 2023 as “eventful” and “weird.”

So, they wanted to start the new year “with a bang.”

Emma, who was completing her third plunge, said she signed up the first time because she “wanted a refresh” after the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year, she made her siblings do it with her.

Emma and Grace — who are both in college — and Owen — a junior and a swimmer at Cherry Creek High School — described the plunge as a fun activity they could do together while they were all on winter break.

In that spirit, they donned matching walrus costumes for their family

plunge.

Likewise, Tricia Holloway and Michelle Kemberling — both from Centennial — and Annie Zdrojewski of Evergreen dressed as phoenixes to symbolize starting 2024 by “rising from the ashes.”

The three friends plunged last year, saying it was a strong way to start 2023. Their intention when they plunged, they described, was to have a year of transformation.

2023 was ultimately a transformative year with a lot of growth, they said, but perhaps not in the way they wanted. They described it as “a burning year.”

So, the three were being more specific with their 2024 intentions, asking for transformation mixed with calm, stability and gratitude. And, rather than donning the tutus they wore in 2023, they dressed as phoenixes — creatures burn but rise to soar again.

Holloway, Kemberling and Zdrojewski recommended others try it, as it’s a “beautiful way to start the year” that people won’t regret.

All4 a good cause

The Evergreen Lake Plunge is Active4All’s biggest fundraiser, raising at least $25,000 annually for Evergreen Park & Recreation District’s special education program — called INSPIRE — and other programs.

Balliet said the fundraising aspect is a big reason he plunges every year.

“It’s a great cause,” he said. “Everyone should have access to parks and recreation.”

That’s something Clint Frost and his family know all too well.

Frost’s 9-year-old son is an INSPIRE participant, attending the annual summer camp, and going on regular outings like swimming and horse riding. Frost said his son really enjoys skiing and being in the mountains, adding, “That’s his happy place.”

So, Frost plunged this year to support his son and other INSPIRE participants who benefit from Active4All’s fundraising. Frost said he’s plunged before in 2016 or 2017, but travel and COVID-19 prevented him from doing it again sooner. Now, though, he wants to be a regular.

He described how hard everyone works to make the annual event a success, from the sponsors and organizers to the firefighters and volunteers. The participants’ financial contributions and word-of-mouth advertising are also big factors.

Frost said of everyone who helps make it possible: “I can’t thank them enough.”

“This is such a huge hit not only to our family but numerous communities,” Hernandez continued. “He was just huge to everyone in the world.”

Flores shared his love of sports with his two sons, Trea and Tristin, supporting their athletic endeavors and sharing his love of the Denver Broncos with them. He was able to meet his grandson, Hendrix — Tristin’s son — before he passed.

Trea said the last time he saw his dad was for a trip to a Broncos game.

“I will never watch a Bronco game the same without my dad,” Trea Flores said. “We enjoyed watching football together and the Broncos were our thing. Our last trip together was going to the Bronco game, and that’s the last time I saw him. It was a great trip. And he’s a good man.

“You just felt loved by him,” Trea

Flores continued. “He loved everyone, literally. So, I’ll just miss him greatly. He just had a big impact in life.”

Stephen Dabelko met Flores on the wrestling mat and said that the relationship Colorado wrestlers had with Flores differed from other officials.

“You couldn’t help but love him,” Dabelko said. “The news of his passing completely broke my son and I. Normally, wrestlers don’t have a relationship with refs but Gerrard was different. He made everyone feel special. The wrestling community lost one of its favorite people. He made every kid feel important. He found joy in making everyone feel special.”

Flores’ longtime friend JJ Pursely said that Flores enjoyed being involved in every level of the sport and watching those in the community grow up and move through the ranks.

After rocky start, No. 23 Orediggers on an eightgame win streak

eligibility left and is enrolled in a two-year natural resources & energy policy graduate program, he said he hasn’t decided whether to return next season.

“I’m just taking it one day at a time,” Deng said. “ … I’m enjoying my time so far. Everything (at Mines) has been amazing.”

Deng recalled how he and the other newcomers worked with their teammates and coaches to determine everyone’s roles in the preseason. While the team looked great in practice, he said the true test was the November and early December games.

“It was quick growing pains — it’s nothing to look back at now,” Deng continued. “We’re the team we are now. We’re just going to keep moving forward.”

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLOROADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Coach Pryor Orser must’ve felt a little like Col. John “Hannibal” Smith from the “A-Team” on Jan. 6 as he watched his Orediggers beat the visiting Colorado Christian Cougars 88-72.

While the 2023-24 Colorado School of Mines men’s basketball team had a rocky start, it seems Orser’s plan — or rather, his team — has come together.

After starting 4-3, including losing a Dec. 1 home game to No. 18 Colorado Mesa, the Orediggers are on a 10-game win streak after their Jan. 12-13 road trip to CSU Pueblo and New Mexico Highlands.

With those road wins under their belts, the Orediggers are 14-3 overall and 8-1 in conference play. As of Jan. 14, they were ranked No. 23 in national polls and occupied third place in the RMAC standings behind Mesa and fellow undefeated Fort Lewis.

“We want to be the best team in March, not the best team in November,” senior guard Sam Beskind said after the Jan. 6 game. “ … I think it’s coming together. The guys are playing with confidence.”

Finding the right balance

Some of the Orediggers’ initial challenges related to the lineup and playing time.

The team lost four seniors after the 2022-23 season but gained two transfers and five freshmen.

Orser described how, on top of losing many of last season’s leaders, the Orediggers had to figure out how all the new players would fit into the existing team’s structure. This included determining whether and how much playing time any of the freshmen would have.

“Anytime you have guys in the program, and then freshmen come in and beat them out, you know, it’s a

Onward and upward

hard adjustment,” Orser continued.

All of this took the better part of the fall to figure out, he described, adding that he’s happy with where the team’s at now.

Along with the win streak, he said both team and individual stats are better as well.

Redshirt sophomore guard Reagan Koch struggled initially but has improved, Orser said, while junior forward Adam Krasovec battled knee injuries early in the season.

True freshmen Alex Romack and

Markus Pastoricic-Straun are “true competitors” who love basketball and give 100% every game, Orser continued.

Then, junior guard Juani Dassie — a transfer from California’s Cuesta College — has become a true weapon for the Orediggers’ offense, he said. Likewise, senior Majok Deng — a graduate transfer from Pepperdine — is leading Mines points per game, and Orser said Deng’s defense has improved since November.

While Deng has another year of

Both Orser and Beskind, a graduate student who transferred to Mines for the 2022-23 season, said the Orediggers need to be firing on all cylinders to tackle the second half of their regular season.

After its Jan. 19-20 home games versus Regis and UCCS respectively, Mines has a packed schedule with a home game against MSU Denver, two games versus No. 9 Fort Lewis and a road game at No. 11 Colorado Mesa.

While the Orediggers are taking 2024 one game at a time, their ultimate goal is to build on last year’s RMAC and NCAA tournament appearances.

“It’s important to win these (regular-season) games,” Beskind said.

“It’s a competitive league and a competitive region.”

Beskind, who’s the only Mines player in his last year of eligibility, has appreciated his loved ones’ support over his career. He gave a special shout-out to his girlfriend, who made a long drive to attend the Jan. 6 home game.

He ultimately hoped he and his teammates could make this a season to remember.

“I’ve been playing basketball for a long, long time,” he said. “ … This is it for me, so … I’m soaking it all up.”

FLORES FROM PAGE 16

“You could tell that he really enjoyed refereeing; he enjoyed watching your wrestling,” Pursley said. “He especially enjoyed watching Brush wrestling. And then the coaches that he got to ref when they were in their careers, he loved watching them coach.”

Another of Flores’ sisters, Shaire Chavez, attributed divine intervention to Flores’ ability to impact so many people around the state and country.

“We were all just wondering, ‘How did Gerard impact so many people throughout the United States?’” Chavez said. “And I came to the conclusion at 3 a.m. this morning that he was literally an angel on earth because how else could someone be loved all over?

“And if this world would live like Gerard did, it’d be a much better place because he was never ever mad,” Chavez said. “He was always so happy.”

Outside of the athletic community, Flores was known as a “jokester, a prankster” who “made everyone laugh and made everyone feel loved,” according to McElhany.

He loved to dance and sing karaoke; his favorite karaoke songs were “Summer Nights,” “Neon Moon,” and “Friends in Low Places.”

McElhany said Flores’ joy in life was to support those around him and keep up long-lasting relationships. An ordained minister, Flores would marry anyone who asked him to, including former players he had coached or refereed.

“His priorities in life were his family, his friends and sports,” McElhany said. “Those are the things he loved the most. He loved getting together with all of his brothers and sisters, all of his nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews. He delighted in things like going to their sporting events, supporting them and in all the things they were involved in.

“It was his great pleasure to encourage and to lift up those that he loved,” McElhany continued.

“He had a wealth of friends from all different areas of life, all the way

back to his school days that he still kept in contact, to probably just the person he met on the street yesterday. And he valued all of them very deeply.”

Flores’ friend Chad Cox echoed McElhany’s sentiments, saying that he brightened the lives of those around him.

“He was always a guy that just

F. Amount Claimed: 23.3 cfs, conditional. Englewood will make the exchange described herein at the rate water is legally and physically available to the subject rights pursuant to the terms and conditions of the decrees entered in Case Nos. 89CW061, 89CW062, and 92CW030 (Water Division No. 1). The rate of exchange will not

exceed 23.3 cfs). G. Use: Water to which Englewood is entitled under the subject rights may be conveyed to the South Platte River at the points of introduction identified above. An amount of water equal to the amount of water to which Englewood is entitled under the subject rights may be diverted at any of the points of diversion identified above and used for municipal, domestic, industrial, commercial, irrigation (including watering of parks, lawns, and gardens), stock watering, recreational, fish and wildlife propagation and maintenance, manufacturing, fire protection, sewage treatment, and street sprinkling. In addition, such water may be used for exchange purposes, for replacement of depletions resulting from use of water from other sources and for augmentation purposes. Such water may be used on any lands to which Englewood provides water for municipal purposes. Use of such water shall not be limited to lands served by Englewood at the time of the original application, but shall extend to any lands to which Englewood hereafter provides water for municipal purposes, and to any lands to which Englewood provides water for municipal purposes under an existing or future contract of supply. H. Appropriation Date: December 17, 1990. 4. Previous Findings of Reasonable Diligence: Previous findings of reasonable diligence were entered on June 17, 2009 in Case No. 03CW139 (Water Div. 1) and on December 7, 2017 in Case No. 15CW3073 (Water Div. 1). 5. Request for Finding of Reasonable Diligence: Pursuant to the Decree issued in Case No. 90CW223, the Subject Exchanges are part of an extensive unified system for the collection, treatment and distribution of water operated by the City of Englewood for its customers. The operation of the Subject Exchanges is not only dependent upon Englewood’s demands and stream exchange potential available, but is also affected by the yield of other water rights and exchanges currently operated by Englewood. The existence of these other water rights and exchanges is necessary in order to allow Englewood to plan for growth and maintain flexibility and reliability in its water supply system. Therefore, for the purposes of showing diligence as to the appropriative rights of exchange decreed in Case No. 90CW223, diligence as to any part of Englewood’s water rights system used to operate or benefit from these exchanges shall be diligence as to the completion of the Subject Exchanges.

During the diligence period of 2017 to the present, in continuing the development of the appropriative rights of exchange that are the subject of the Application, Englewood has undertaken significant efforts on various components of its unified water system. Activities that have been performed toward completion of the appropriation and application of the Subject Exchanges to beneficial use are described below. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. (1) Englewood spent over $1.5 million on various water diversion, measurement, and distribution system improvements. This includes improvements to various ditches, wells, pumps, pipes, flumes, and gulches; removals and replacements of filter media at Englewood’s water treatment plant in the amount of approximately $757,000.00; and dredging of Englewood’s water treatment plant facilities in the amount of approximately $657,387.00. (2) Englewood spent approximately $174,453.00 in connection with improvements to McLellan Reservoir and associated facilities, including the pump station. (3) Englewood spent approximately $615,773.00 on design and pre-construction services for piping portions of City Ditch. (4) Englewood spent a total of approximately $597,510.00 on various aspects of the design and construction of the Big Dry Creek Hydropower Diversion structure, plus an additional $40,425.00 to obtain an easement agreement with the Colorado Water Conservation Board for an easement necessary for that project. (5) Englewood spent approximately $161,277.00 to remove or maintain trees that interfered with Englewood’s water system. (6) Englewood spent $3,375.00 to install security fencing around the McBroom Ditch Headgate. (7) Englewood engaged water resource engineers and outside water attorneys to protect and enhance Englewood’s water rights, and participated in numerous Water Court cases to protect the quantity and quality of the subject water right and Englewood’s other water rights from injury by other parties.

Englewood also filed diligence applications on other conditional decrees that are part of its integrated system. 6.

SUPPORT LOCAL JOURNALISM

DON’T LET YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPERS GO SILENT.

This year, even more than ever before, the news is in crisis.

More than 17,000 news media jobs were cut just by June, at national and local outlets including at some of the biggest names like NPR, The Texas Tribune and Gannett. In fact, newsroom layoffs are up 20% from last year. Some of these outlets laid off more than 10% of their staff in the last few months — even as we head into a critical election year.

These are devastating numbers. But all is not lost.

Many local and independent newsrooms continue to launch across the country. With your contributions and subscriber memberships, small newsrooms like ours continue to grow, adding new journalists and expanding reporting and investigations.

We’re committed to bringing the news to Coloradans. That’s because you deserve access to local, independent journalism that keeps you connected and informed — especially during challenging times. This is #newsCOneeds.

PLEASE SUPPORT LOCAL NEWS AND THE COMMUNITY CONNECTION WE PROVIDE. To contribute online: www.ColoradoCommunityMedia.com/give-to-CCM To contribute by phone: Please call 303-566-4100 • Monday-Friday 9am-4pm To contribute by mail please send your contribution to the following address:
