Jeffco’s Adapted Athletics returns to in-person events

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — The smiles, laughter and excitement was back at All-Star Park on Thursday morning.

Jeffco Public Schools’ Adapted Athletics held its first in-person event with Cross Country Day on the Gold Crown Field House complex in Lakewood. The COVID-19 pandemic forced all of Jeffco’s Adapted Athletics events to be virtual for the 2020-21 school year.

“Everyone is excited,” said Bryan Wickoren, Jeffco Adapted Athletic Director and Adaptive Physical Education teacher. “They have been waiting to come back.

It’s great to be back in-person.”

Two weeks after issuing an order requiring students and staff to wear masks in all Jefferson County school and childcare settings to wear masks, JCPH Executive Director Dawn Comstock announced she was amending the order in response to public feedback.

The revised order, which was issued on Aug. 30, states that anyone age 3 and over who enters a school is required to wear a mask. Previously, masking had been required in schools and Childcare centers for everyone 2 and over.

Comstock said she decided to make that change after JCPH hosted a town hall with more than 60 childcare owners and operators in the county. During the town hall, JCPH received feedback on JCPH’s Public Health Order.

Two of the most common challenges with implementing the order were masking among 2-year-olds and maintaining six feet of social distance when children were unmasked during meal times, which the previous order also required.

“While JCPH’s original order follows guidance from CDC, the SEE JCPH, P5

Man shot dead by Jefferson County deputy Purported eyewitness gives different account of shooting

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A 33-year-old man was shot dead by a Jefferson County deputy around 12 p.m. Thursday near the I-76 off-ramp onto Sheridan Boulevard just outside Arvada, the sheriff’s department said.

The deputy was responding to a 911 call about a man standing beside a black motorcycle waiving a gun in the air, said Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer Karlyn Tilley.

“Someone passing by called it in originally,” said Tilley. “We were told he was waving it around and seemed angry.”

When the officer arrived on the scene, the man pulled a gun from his waistband, Tilley said, adding that it is unknown who shot first.

The JeffCo deputy was not injured, she said. No other injuries were reported.

The black motorcycle was reported stolen out of Westminster in February, according to an update posted on the JeffCo Sheriff’s Twitter account.

The name of the 33-year-old man was not given at a press conference held around 1 p.m. Thursday.

Tilley said that there was no threat to the public at this time.

As of 4 p.m. Thursday, Sheridan Boulevard was closed in both directions and the off-ramp will remained closed for a few hours, according to Tilley.

She said the deputy involved in the shooting was on patrol at the time of the shooting and is now on leave, which is JeffCo Sherriff’s protocol for an officer involved shooting.

A Critical Incident Response Team investigation was underway and was being led by the Arvada Police Department. Lakewood Police were also on the scene shortly after the shooting.

Conflicting eyewitness reports A man who said he witnessed the incident gave a differing account of the shooting.

Martino Aguilar said he was

working at his wife’s sod company located across Sheridan Boulevard from where the shooting occurred at the time of the incident. He said that a grey Dodge Ram with a trailer attached to the back was being followed by the JeffCo Sheriff’s deputies off the I-76 ramp onto Sheridan.

According to Aguilar, three people were in the truck; a middle-aged adult, an older person and a child.

Aguilar says he saw the truck pull over after turning onto Sheridan, at which point, he said, a middleaged adult got out of the truck and attempt to flee two deputies.

Aguilar said he saw one female deputy and one male deputy pursue the adult. He said shots were fired without a warning from deputies that he could hear, at which point the adult collapsed with their hands on their head.

Aguilar said that he heard between four and six shots fired, and that one shot passed over the roof of the sod company’s office, missing it and knocking some leaves off an overhanging tree in the process.

“I didn’t hear any (warning),” said Aguilar. “Nothing, like a ‘Stop!’ or something; nothing. I can hear everything from here, but I don’t hear anything like ‘Stop!’ or something like, ‘Hey, stop,’ or something. The only thing I hear was the shooting.”

The grey Dodge Ram truck Aguilar described.

Aguilar then described a panicked scene when the paramedics arrived.

“When the ambulance coming, the lady cop looks like she doesn’t want that he die,” said Aguilar. “They told the ambulance guy like, ‘Come on, come on, help him help him.’”

A man named Rodrigo who was also working at the sod company, who also said he was an eyewitness, gave an account similar to Aguilar’s, describing the Dodge Ram turning

onto Sheridan, pulling over, and an adult getting out of the car and running from deputies.

A grey Dodge Ram with a trailer attached was pulled off to the side of Sheridan Boulevard inside the police line.

Tilley said she was unable to give any details as to why the vehicle was in the crime scene area and did not give comment when presented with Aguilar’s version of the events.

Missing Golden woman found dead on Argos Trail Kap Soon Lee was last seen on Aug. 31 STAFF REPORT

A Golden woman was found dead on the Argos Trail on Sept. 2, about three days after she was reported missing by her family.

Kap Soon Lee, 76, was found at around 6:55 p.m. by someone recreating on the trail, which is located west of the old Heritage Square site in Apex Park.

Golden Police were notified on Aug. 31 that Lee had left her home at around 1 p.m. that day and had not been seen since that time. Lee lived in the Eagle

Ridge neighborhood off Heritage Road.

According to a post made to the city of Golden Facebook page on Sept. 1, Lee was known by her family to frequently walk on the trails around her neighborhood an in Apex Park.

Following Lee’s disappearance, police used canines and drones to search for Lee and conducted a full sweep of the Apex trail.

According to the Facebook post, Lee took medication for high blood pressure.

Golden’s Communications Manager, Emily Gedeon, said the police investigation is active and ongoing but foul play is not currently expected in Lee’s death.

Now That the Summer Months Are Behind Us, How’s the Market Shaping Up for the Fall?

It has been a wild ride so far in 2021 — and the ride may be slowing, but it is definitely not over.

At right are some key statistics that I garnered from our MLS, REcolorado.com, for the 13 months ending August 2021, a timespan that allows us to compare this August with last August as well as the months since.

In creating the chart, I limited myself to listings within 15 miles of downtown Denver. That includes the entire metro area except for the city of Boulder.

The headings are pretty selfexplanatory except for the last three columns. “Ratio” is the ratio of closed price to listing price at the time of sale, which might, in the case of older listings, be less than the original listing price. “Med. DOM” stands for median days that the listing was “active” on the MLS. Half the listings went under contract in that number of days or less, and half of them went under contract in that number of days or more. “Ave. DOM” stands for average days that listings were active on the MLS, and it’s always higher than median days on the MLS because many

listings are overpriced and linger on the market before the price is lowered and the home goes under contract.

There are some numbers that are worth noting, but there are some numbers that are downright remarkable. We all know, for example, that the inventory of active listings is very low, but it’s notable that it is more than 40% lower this August than it was in August 2020, yet the number of sold listings is also lower by over 4% and the number of new listings is lower by 13%.

However, it’s also notable that the number of listings that expired without selling has plunged by over 43% from a year ago. More hard-to-sell and overpriced homes are selling before expiring.

Lastly, it notable that the median days before a listing goes under contract has barely risen, and that figure has been under 7 days now for over a year.

Those statistics are notable, but there are two statistics that are remarkable.

The first one is the ratio of sold price to listing price, which remains above 100% at 101.4%, although down from June’s

Integrity, for the Most Part, Still Rules in Real Estate We all need to be careful that we are not scammed. We see scams all around us — in our emails, phone calls, text messages, and snail mail. Seniors in particular are targeted for scams by people who have no shame about cheating someone out of their life savings.

Title companies warn buyers and sellers about wire fraud. Buyers have been known to get emails purportedly from their title company giving them the wiring instructions for their down payment or, in the case of a cash buyer, for the entire purchase price of a property they are buying, only to discover that they wired the money to a scammer on another continent where it can never be retrieved.

Time shares (or fractional ownership) is another area rife with misrepresentation and deceptive practices that can trap an unwary buyer in the purchase of something they don’t really want and can’t really sell.

And, yes, there are a few local real estate professionals who get disciplined by the Colorado Real Estate Commission for illegal or improper behavior.

But I have to say that overall I have been very impressed by the level of integrity that I encounter in this business.

Ask any Realtor, in particular, and he or she will probably tell you, as I can, that they can hardly recall a time when a fellow professional intentionally lied to them or misrepresented a client, listing or situation.

If, for example, I’m representing a buyer and the listing agent says there are three other offers and they’re all above full price, I’m confident in believing that to be true. I’ve completed hundreds of transactions and can’t recall one where I was told something that turned out not to be true or a fact withheld by the agent.

As an industry, we need to trust our fellow professionals, and I have found little or no reason not to. We are not just “honor bound” to be truthful. Being otherwise puts our very livelihood at risk, since any colleague or member of the public could report us to the Real Estate Commission, our MLS, or our Realtor Association, possibly resulting in a fine or even the loss of our license to practice real estate. I am glad that’s the case.

high of 104.6%. This is remarkable because it was only this February that the number rose above 100% for the first time, signaling the height of the bidding wars. The August figure indicates that many bidding wars are still happening — due in part, of course, to the limited inventory of active listings — but they are not as numerous or extreme overall.

I emphasize “overall” because bidding wars are still getting extreme in isolated instances where the home is outstanding in some way or is in a highly desirable area with little or no competing listings.

We are still seeing some homes sell for 40 to even 50% over their asking prices here and there. That includes in my home town of Golden.

So what, you may be asking, is the outlook for the fall and winter months?

If there is any seasonality left in the real estate business, it is that there are fewer new listings in the winter. You can see that was true last winter, with the low point being December. This makes sense, because few people want to put their home on the market during the holidays. That, however, only serves to keep the inventory of active listings even lower than during the summer time, yet the buying of homes continues year-round, with roughly as many closings happening in December as in November. Notice, in fact, that December was the only

month in the last 13 where the number of sold listings exceeded both the number of active listings and new listings.

We should stop thinking of spring and summer as the selling season, but rather as the listing season. Most sellers believe it’s the selling season, when in fact homes sell year road. In fact, winter could be the best time to put your home on the market because there are just as many buyers getting those MLS alerts that I wrote about last week, but there are fewer homes for them to look at. If you want to sell your home before next spring, you should not wait until next spring to put it on the market — but do take some nice exterior photos of your home now that can be used in the marketing of your home over the winter.

Mortgage rates could start to ease upward in the coming months, but that will only increase the market frenzy as buyers try to get ahead of further increases in interest rates. No one in the industry, however, is projecting a major increase in interest rates over the next 12 months.

JCPH tried to convince schools to implement stronger mask policy JCPH head said superintendent was acting for political reasons

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A set of emails shows the frank and emotional nature of the discussions that took place between Jeffco’s top school and health officials about whether — and how — to require masks in schools, included efforts by the county health head to implore the school district to implement a mask requirement herself.

The emails came to light after an area parent filed an open records request for recent correspondence between the two organizations.

In one of the emails, dated July 28, Jefferson County Public Health Executive Director Dr. Dawn Comstock pleads with Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Tracy Dorland to issue a blanket mask order for its schools, saying the school district is in a better position to do so than the health department.

“You have 100% authority over all health and safety rules in your schools and complete control over enforcing them,” Comstock wrote to Dorland. “You have the ability to implement a mask order and to enforce it.”

Comstock then told Dorland that she would be willing to have Dor-

land tell the public she pushed for the mask order.

“You also know I will support you 100% — I will even be willing to say I pressured you to make this decision so you can say you took action that you knew would protect students but would also protect the school culture, etc. in order to avoid having the public health authority dictate rules that would not be sensitive to the needs of students and their parents,” she wrote.

Concerned about court rulings However, Comstock also explained in the same email that she did not see it as sensible for JCPH to issue its own public health order regarding masks in schools because such orders are only supposed to be a last

resort. She also expressed concern that the “current unpredictable courts” could rule against an order issued by JCPH and damage JCPH’s future authority in the process.

“You are choosing not to implement rules for purely political reasons,” Comstock also wrote. “You are bowing to pressure from misinformed parents in a way that clearly puts all of the students in your charge at unnecessary and unacceptable levels of risk.”

Comstock then said that if Dorland and the district failed to enact a mask requirement, they would be “undermining their ability to act and enforce all of their current and future safety rules.” In one particularly vivid passage, Comstock suggests that the district’s ability

to enforce other health and safetyrelated rules could be at risk.

“What happens when parents start sending their children to school with high fevers and whilst vomiting and refuse to come pick them up or to keep them home the next day because ‘it is my right to do what I think is best for my child’s health?’ ... What happens if parents begin sending children to school armed because they fear for their safety in this era of school shootings and do so touting the Second Amendment? If enough parents do so and those parents begin challenging your weapons bans in court you will have to turn to Colorado Department of Education, the State, or me to receive the authority to force compliance” “Heck, what happens if large numbers of students blatantly begin violating your dress codes or honor codes in ways you feel are bullying or otherwise detrimental to student wellness and when you try to suspend them they take you to court?”

Comstock promised a more sweeping order Comstock concludes the email by saying that if she did issue a PHO of her own for schools, it would likely go beyond requiring masks to include other steps that she deems necessary to best protect students, including a vaccination requirement for school staff, a weekly testing requirement for unvaccinated SEE SCHOOLS, P5

students and a ban on indoor extracurricular activities.

“If I am going to take that step that will so damage the future authority of public health. I will do exactly what is truly needed to prioritize, emphasize, and protect in-person educational activities,” she wrote.

The 309 pages of emails, which were obtained via a Colorado Open Records Act request, do not include any further response from Dorland. However, in an email sent to Comstock earlier that morning, Dorland said she would “fully support a public health order that is put in place by a public health authority.”

“I continue to believe a local, state or national public health order is the best option to support our community and other communities with this issue,” Dorland wrote.

The July 28 email exchange came two days before the district release new masking guidelines requiring that all students 12-and-under be masked at school but allowing both vaccinated and unvaccinated students over 12 to be unmasked if they so chose.

Then, on Aug. 16, Comstock followed through on her promise to issue a public health order requiring masks for everyone 2-and-over in schools and daycare centers regardless of vaccination status (this has

since been amended to apply to everyone 3-and-over).

The order also requires that all faculty and staff either be vaccinated or face weekly testing. Unvaccinated students participating in extracurricular activities must also face weekly testing under the order.

However, the order stops short of mandating testing for all unvaccinated students (unless they are participating in extracurricular activities) and canceling all indoor extracurricular activities, as Comstock had indicated she might.

District, JCPH response Following the public release of the emails, Colorado Community Media reached out to both Dorland and Comstock to ask how they would approach and navigate their relationship going forward, particularly in regards to controlling the spread of COVID-19 in school.

“The district will continue to work to balance public health priorities, protocols and orders with ensuring we are meeting the needs of all Jeffco students with as much uninterrupted in-person learning as possible, and in continued service to our community,” Dorland said.

JCPH also provided the following more general statement on behalf of Comstock via email.

“The email under discussion was written by JCPH Executive Director Dr. Dawn Comstock to JPS Superintendent Tracy Dorland as part of ongoing conver-

sations about COVID-19 precautions in schools for the 2021-2022 school year and how to safely prioritize and protect in-person learning. This is only part of the extensive conversations that happened between Jefferson County Public Health and Jeffco Public Schools leaders in the midst of rising COVID-19 cases in Jeffco, Colorado and the country due to the highly transmissible Delta variant. Dr. Comstock stands behind the urgency and importance of the message conveyed in the email during this ongoing public health emergency.”

The emails between Comstock and Dorland have also been subject to extensive sharing and commentary on social media, particularly by those opposed to the mask mandate.

Republican State Representative Colin Larson, whose district encompasses a large portion of South Jeffco, was among those to express criticism of Comstock following the release of the emails. In a public statement Rep. Larson said he was “deeply troubled” by the correspondence.

“The dismissive and threatening tone of her emails combined with the clear disdain for parents and families who disagree with her is totally unacceptable in a public official especially one who is unelected and therefore unaccountable,” Larson said. “I urge the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners to take action to ensure that JCPH leadership is acting appropriately and in the best interest of Jeffco citizens.”

JCPH FROM PAGE 1

American Academy of Pediatrics and Children’s Hospital Colorado regarding appropriate ages for use of face coverings, we listened to those in our community who work with young children every day and have modified the age for required masking from age 2 and older to age 3 and older,” Comstock said in a JCPH press release announcing the change.

The requirement that six feet of social distancing be maintained during meal and snack times and while playing instruments has also been removed. It has been replaced with language stating that JCPH “strongly recommends” three feet of social distancing during these unmasked activities.

“JCPH acknowledges that not all school and childcare settings have sufficient space to ensure that children can be spaced at least six feet apart while unmasked during meal or snack times or while playing instruments,” reads the new amended order.

“JCPH therefore recognizes the need to balance the implementation of numerous viral mitigation strategies with the practical constraints of school and childcare settings.”

In the release announcing the amended order, Comstock thanked Jeffco schools and childcare facilities from taking the steps necessary to protect students from COVID-19.

“We want to be as responsive as possible to your feedback as we understand the need to balance the implementation of numerous viral mitigation strategies with practical challenges and constraints of school and childcare settings,” she said. “We admire the work you do and will continue to work toward our common goal of keeping kids healthy and safe.”

JCPH says COVID-19 numbers trending in wrong direction in Jeffco Data show cases, hospitalizations increasing

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a statement published online on Sept. 1, Jefferson County Public Health listed several pieces of recent data that together suggest the COVID-19 is worsening across Jefferson County, with the majority of impacts now falling on unvaccinated residents.

Among the datapoints showing

increases are new cases. According to the report, there were 767 new cases of COVID-19 in Jeffco from Aug. 24-29. That is a 68.2% increase from the same period last month, when there were 456 new cases from July 23-29.

Hospitalizations have also been increasing significantly, the report said. The 14-day rolling average for hospitalizations had doubled from 0.4 per 100,000 people from July 10-23 to 0.8 per 100,000 people from Aug. 10-23. There were 41 Jeffco residents hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19 as of Sept. 1.

However, the data indicates the vast majority of both new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are in unvaccinated residents.

Of all new cases in the past two months, 83.5% were among people who were unvaccinated or only partially vaccinated. Similarly, 82.9% of the people hospitalized in the past two months were unvaccinated or partially vaccinated.

Overall, 71.9% of Jeffco residents age 12 and over are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 while another 5.1% are partially vaccinated. Given the increased transmissibility of the Delta variant, public health experts now estimate that at least 80% vaccination coverage is needed to reach

Immunocompromised individuals who received the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine are now eligible to get a third vaccine dose at least 28 days after their second dose.

Wear a mask indoors. The CDC recommends that everyone ages 2+ wear a mask in indoor public settings, regardless of vaccination status, in high or substantial risk areas.

If you have COVID-19 symptoms or have been exposed, get tested.

If you have any symptoms of COVID-19 or if you have been exposed to COVID-19, get tested and isolate until you receive your results.

Get tested even if your symptoms are mild and even if you have been vaccinated. If your test is positive, continue to isolate for 10 days Add other layers of protection when possible.

The Delta variant, which spreads more than twice as easily from one person to another, is now responsible for nearly 100% of COVID-19 cases in Colorado.

COVID-19 can seem routine or intangible. In reality, these numbers represent our Jeffco community members — neighbors, parents, children, friends and coworkers — who are still suffering from this virus,” said Christine Billings, JCPH’s Head of Pandemic Response, in the report.

Tough opening night for Jeffco School Board

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The first assignment of the new school year for the Jeffco Public Schools Board of Education was to delve into the debate around masking of schoolage children.

Board member, Susan Miller, set off the debate just moments into the first board meeting of the school year on Sept. 2 with a request to add an agenda item — discussion of the District’s compliance with a JCPH (Jefferson County Public Health) public health order (PHO) requiring universal masking in schools.

Board President, Susan Harmon, along with appointed member, Rick Rush, said they weren’t in favor of adding the discussion to the night’s agenda — a position met with unsurprising jeers from the crowd in attendance.

However, new Superintendent, Tracy Dorland, said she was open to having a public discussion about the district’s COVID protocols.

“I am very proud of the district team and the work that they have put into complying with the public health order that has been put in place by Jefferson County Public Health,” she said.

Dorland agreed with Harmon and Rush, that the last-minute nature of the discussion might not lead to the most effective way of dealing with the conversation, but she said she’d do her best.

“I was hopeful going into the fall, that we were going to be coming

back in a more normal fashion with less impact from COVID. That has not been the case. I’m extremely disappointed by that,” Dorland said.

“And at this point in time, we are legally required to follow the public health order.”

She said many of the County’s mitigation policies have helped families feel safe sending their children to school. She also recognized that there are families with many different perspectives on the COVID precautions.

All in all, the discussion of whether or not to have another discussion about the topic later in the evening, lasted more than 20 minutes.

During the one-hour public comment period, speakers went to the public health masking order with a vengeance. The first person to speak linked masking to future suicides.

The second said he wanted to speak about assessment tests, but instead went directly into masking.

Twice-warned to stay on topic, he continued on mask policy until his microphone was silenced and a security officer had to ask him to step away from the podium.

Dorland then spoke about the District’s compliance with the masking order. She said legal advice from both internal and external counsel concluded that the district was obligated to follow JCPH public health orders.

Goal posts Dorland said the District has

pushed JCPH for goal posts for when some of the public health requirements might be lifted. She said she thinks it’s helpful when a community has goal posts to work toward.

“And I will say publicly that we are not getting clear answers from public health authorities on that issue,” she said. “I will also say publicly that even if we occasionally have gotten a clear answer from public health on that issue, it has changed, and the goal posts move.”

Dorland then said that she agrees that masks get in the way of some learning and she’s worried about oral language development and students not being able to see the expressions on their teachers’ faces.

Testing for unvaccinated teachers and students who want to participate in extra-curricular activities was the second part of the COVID protocols dilemma Dorland addressed. She said the testing program will begin as soon as next week for unvaccinated teachers and staff.

State funding will allow the District to begin testing at 18 sites, expanding the program when possible.

They will be using rapid tests to cut down on missed classroom time.

Extracurricular activities are unique in that if the activity takes place during the school day, testing for unvaccinated students will not be required.

But activities that take place outside of normal school hours, will require weekly testing for unvaccinated students. Dorland said she

didn’t agree with JCPH policy on extra-curricular activities but is resigned to carrying out testing because the district is legally bound to do so.

The masking conversation then took a dark turn.

Board member Stephanie Schooley spoke directly to those in attendance saying her family has been harassed over the masking issue and asked for it to stop. She said she’s received threatening letters — some containing photos of her children — and has had strangers driving by her house. Voice wavering, she pleaded with those listening, to bring the temperature down.

Within seconds of her request for the abusive measures to stop, an unidentified woman in attendance yelled out “Your life’s not more important than a 12-year old’s.”

Masks dominated the final public comment period of the meeting.

Anger and vitriol directed toward the board was palpable. Officers were required to escort yet another group of speakers from the podium.

One speaker wore a shirt with an illustration of an assault rifle while another demanded resignations from all board members.

The newspaper reached out to District Executive Director, Media Relations, Cameron Bell, with questions about whether the board would continue to hold in-person meetings with public comment in light of the heightened tensions in the public SEE SCHOOLS, P13

Proposed Wheat Ridge development sparks debate Planning commission votes to recommend the project move forward

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A mixed-use neighborhood along 38th Avenue in Wheat Ridge was the main subject of interest during the Sept. 2 Planning Commission meeting.

At issue — the proposed development of a major subdivision consisting of 26 townhome units built

by StoryBuilt — an Austin, Texasbased development firm. Current zoning allows for the high-density construction project — 21 units per acre — but some neighbors don’t want another row of multi-story units blocking sunlight and increasing traffic.

In the end, despite much discussion and some valid concerns from neighbors, the Planning Commission found the developer has met all code requirements and voted to recommend the approval of the project.

The proposed project, named Judy, will be located at 5785 W. 38th Avenue (38th and Eaton Street).

The area is mixed use, including commercial, restaurant, high-density and single family residential.

Along with the townhomes (four buildings with four to eight units in each), curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements will need to be made.

The plan also also calls for a 20-foot green-space buffer separating the townhomes from residential housing to the north.

The City’s Engineering and Planning divisions had both found the site plan approvable. City staff has recommended approval of the project.

StoryBuilt’s Director of Acquisition and Development, Chris

Auxier, says his company focuses on “Boutique, Infill development,” choosing sites where the “neighborhood is an amenity.” He said the the site was attractive to StoryBuilt because of the momentum, growth and interest currently happening in the neighborhood. Auxier expects the price of units in the subdivision to be in the $550,000 to $750,000 range.

During the open comment portion of the meeting, privacy, traffic, density, height of the proposed buildings and parking were all raised as possible red flags. Comments on the Wheat Ridge Speaks website tended to oppose the development.

Developer wants to build duplexes along West 50th Avenue Neighbors say project does not fit community’s character

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A developer plans to seek county approval to rezone 4.2 acres of agricultural land along West 50th Avenue west of Eldridge Street so it can build nine duplexes there.

During an Aug. 30 community meeting, civil engineer David

Theisen pitched the plan to rezone the site on the southwest corner of West 50th Avenue and Flora Street to a group of generally unenthusiastic neighbors. Theisen said the developer’s goal is to rezone the site to Residential 2 zoning, which allows single family homes and duplexes.

Theisen said the surrounding area is made up mostly of residential zoning districts with a few agricultural districts in the mix. He pitched the plan as one that would bring more housing to an area where it is often difficult to find.

“18 families will get a new home out of this deal and I think that is

a really good thing for all of the people who are looking for homes right now,” Theisen said.

However, Theisen got an earful from several neighbors who said the project is not a fit for the community, which they feel has a low-density and agricultural feel and should remain that way.

That was the point raised by Danielle Burr, who argued that the integrity of the neighborhood comes from its agricultural background and the many small farms and horse properties that give it so much character.

“I appreciate that packing as

many people as you can into a fiveacre property is very profitable,” she said. “But I think in terms of the integrity of the neighborhood, people who have been here for as long time are really opposed to this because we’ve all experienced the traffic and the congestion from the building that’s already happening in the area.”

Area resident Jim Little then asked if there was a comprehensive plan for the area and if it would allow such development.

the hurricane.

According to Rod Tyus, CO TF-1 Program Manager and West Metro Fire Captain, West Metro Fire Rescue is a sponsoring agency for CO TF-1, which is one of 28 FEMA-directed (Federal Emergency Management Agency) teams across the country.

Tyus, a veteran of almost 39 years with West Metro, goes back nearly 30 years with CO TF-1. He said volunteers in the group are specialists with a wide range of skills. There are 19 position classifications with jobs in planning, logistics, rescue, search, communications, medical and hazmat.

Since its inception, CO-TF-1 has been deployed outside the state more than 20 times. Aside from hurricanes, tornadoes and floods, the task force has worked on high-profile incidents like the Oklahoma City Bombing and the 2003 Space Shuttle explosion. The most notable deployment for the team was being called upon to do search and rescue at the World Trade Center site after 9/11/2001.

CO TF-1 has also been deployed six times within the state since 1997.

Funding for the task force is provided by FEMA. It covers day-to-day costs like administrative staff salaries, facilities lease and maintenance, training, and equipment purchase and maintenance. It also covers personnel costs, travel costs, and other operational expenses.

Deployments typically last 14 days, Tyus said, but may be extended if necessary.

4 MISTAKES THAT MAKE KNEE PAIN WORSE

By Dr. Brooke Olsen, DPT - published author & leading Denver PT

What if what you are doing is actually bad for your knees? Are you making your knee pain worse without even knowing it?

Were you given an exercise sheet or followed a program in the past and you are not noticing any improvements? I have so many people ask if what they are doing is the right thing or not - should they be using cold packs, heat, massage, braces… because they don’t know if it will help or make their knee pain worse. If you’ve wondered this as well, I’m going to clarify a few of the MOST common mistakes I see people do when it comes what to do about knee pain: 1. Rest - Rest is important to a certain degree, but we over use this idea way too often. Rest does one thing to your joints - it weakens the muscles around it without use. This is why your knee becomes more unstable, stiff, and painful as the years go on. So, if your knee pain doesn’t improve after a short period of time of rest, an extended period of rest will definitely make your knee pain worse in the long run.

2. Medications - Similar to rest, taking medications, such as anti-inflammatories or pain pills, might make sense for a short time following a knee injury.

However, the truth is that these medications only mask your pain and they don’t uncover or treat the actual ROOT CAUSE of your knee pain. This, over

time, makes your knee worse because again - they don’t fix the root cause of the problem, they only put a band-aide on it.

3. Braces - I have no problem with people wearing a brace from time to time - especially if you want a little support during a more active day. However, if you’re RELYING on a brace to stabilize your knee on a regular, daily basis, you’re missing something - big! Braces take over the actual job of muscles they help to stabilize your knee.

Until you figure out WHY your knee is feeling unstable and you DO something about it, the feeling of instability isn’t likely going to improve and instead, worsen.

4. The Wrong Exercises - Doing generic exercises that are from a book or a cookie cutter program given to you without a specific purpose is well-meaning advice, but will not get the results you want. Many people plateau and feel stuck in knee pain after seeing no improvements with this type of approach. That’s because these movements are not specific to helping your knee pain. They are a good starting point, but that’s about it. What’s even more concerning - If you continue to do the wrong exercises, you could be making it worse. ➤ If you’re looking to get help for your specific knee pain and want more customized advice on what to do, Dr. Brooke Olsen’s team at The Physio Revolution is happy to answer any questions about knee pain by phone at (720)-772-1133 or email at TheTeam@ThePhysioRevolution.com

VOICES The elegant solution: thinking before speaking T here is a time and place for pithy remarks, sarcasm, and even bad jokes. OK, well maybe there is never a good time for bad jokes, but pithy remarks and sarcasm, absolutely.

The world has been dealing us some very serious situations. There are many among us who deal with serious situations through humor.

Whether we are trying to mask our own fears or concerns, and/or we are trying to lighten a mood for others around us, the smart play is to read the room first. Many a poorly timed great joke or spontaneous one-liner has been met with incredulity and awkward silence.

Many of us have found ourselves apologizing once we realized the impact that our comment or joke had on those around us. Having been that person who carelessly and thoughtlessly made a bad choice of words, and did so more than once, I know firsthand what it feels like to wish I could immediately take back what I had said.

Now I am not referring to political correctness where some of us get easily offended by the slightest offhanded remark or jab. I will reserve

WINNING WORDS

that for another column. What I am referring to here is having situational awareness and sensitivity to what is going on around us at any given moment.

In our haste we may think that is inMichael Norton something credibly funny, or harmless when it first pops into our head, not pausing to try and appreciate how it will be received by others. Even when we have the very best of intentions, poor timing coupled with even worse content could end up as a complete misfire.

You may feel like this is common sense. Maybe it is, let’s also remember that common sense isn’t always common practice. Again, learning this the hard way, I have taught myself to apply the 30-second rule.

Instead of focusing on being quick with a joke or punch line, I hesitate to make sure that what I am about to say wouldn’t be insulting or hurtful to those around me.

By the way, there is a difference between being offended and being insulted or hurt. If we were to worry about offending others each time we spoke, well we just might not speak at all anymore. We could all use a little adjustment to our offended meter, recognizing that all our differences and differences of opinion are what keep things fun and interesting. Just imagine if we all thought the same, looked the same, acted the same in every situation, how boring would that be?

Insulting or hurting others through our words is something completely different. It’s one thing if our poorly timed attempt at humor, lightening the mood, or trying to comfort someone else is done with the very best of intentions and falls flat. When that is the case, we can fix it by practicing the 30-second rule, pausing before we speak. However, when we know that what we are about to say could potentially be a mic drop moment for all the wrong reasons, that is when it becomes a problem.

Situational awareness coupled with proper etiquette is always seen as an elegant solution. I

think we still live in a country that honors free speech. Although our speech may be, it is incumbent upon as humans that coexist with one another to think before we speak, especially in moments where we have a knee-jerk reaction to shoot from the hip. And to increase our chances of providing an elegant solution and speaking the right words at the right time, maybe we can build or rebuild our own go-to word bank filled with words such as kindness, gentleness, grace, compassion, comfort, love and forgiveness.

Have you experienced a poorly timed joke or note of sarcasm?

Have you ever uttered words at the wrong moment that you wish you could take back? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing. com, and when we can remember to pause and think before we speak, it really will be a better than good year.

D

o you remember?

10 months earlier, we had just gone through one of the most contentious elections in American HITTING history. So close, in fact, that it HOME spawned six weeks of lawsuits, court cases, dueling supreme courts, and even a khaki pants mob. From it, we all learned the term “hanging chad.” But, eventually, it got settled, and we moved on.

Michael Alcorn Sound familiar?

Spring and early summer in Colorado were dominated by sports, of course. The Colorado Avalanche, with Patrick Roy, Joe Sakic, and Ray Bourque, made an historic run to win the President’s Cup (for the best regular season team) and, on the strength of two incredible performances

phases, as “ER,” “Friends,” and “West Wing” were all atop the ratings, along with “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?”. At the theaters, it was all about the kids, as “Shreck, “Monsters, Inc.,” and “Harry Potter” dominated the box office.

Summer became contentious again, as all of our natural American political anxiety was turned to the issue of… Stem cell research. Remember that? All of the debate and angst about whether it was ethical to use embryonic stem cells for medical research.

Of course, the issue became moot not too many years later, when we discovered that we could harvest a person’s own stem cells and use them for a variety of therapeutic purposes.

One great example of science making politics obsolete. If only…

And then, one beautiful fall morning, we all realized how trivial all of our high dudgeon really was.

September 11, 2001, started out normal enough for me. Woke up to see my wife out of the house,

got myself showered and ready to go; woke up my oldest daughter, got her ready and planted in front of a movie with a bowl of Frosted Flakes; woke up the baby, and was right in the middle of changing a diaper when plane number two hit the Towers. Work was surreal that day, and life was pretty different after that.

On September 12, I don’t think any of us could have possibly imagined two things: one, that the US homeland would not suffer another catastrophic attack in 20 years; and two, that the “war” would’ve lasted 20 years and ended in a series of ignominious retreats. That is both a testimony to our greatness as a people, the courage of our military, the dedication of our intelligence community…

And the stupidity of our politics.

Bin Laden thought he could break America by attacking us. He was wrong — that galvanized us. It took social media, unfettered money in elections, bankruptcy and violence in our

culture, Russian Psy-Ops, and a virus from China to push us to this breaking point.

Can we step back from this cliff? Can our ultimate rebuke of bin Laden, Russia, and the CCP still be in the cards?

I think so. I hope so.

But it’s going to have to start with a rebuke of all the extremists on every side of the American body politic. No matter what your tribe, your party, or your ideological bent, every time we reach for unreasoning victory instead of reasonable solutions, we only confirm what bin Laden believed about us.

You want to remember 9/11 properly?

Be better.

Man vs Bear: Who Will Win the 20,000 Calorie Challenge?

A

sk Will Tennyson how to arrive at 20,000 calories and this is what he would tell you: Breakfast: one dozen doughnuts, 2 McDonald McGriddles, 2 hash browns and 2 breakfast burritos.

Lunch: one jumbo 18” loaded pizza and a Firehouse Sub (the New York Steamer).

Snack: one cookie dough tube (baked), one pint of vanilla Haagen Dazs with chocolate sauce, one Three Musketeers bar and 3 bananas.

Dinner: 2 Cheesecake Factory entrees (spaghetti and meatballs and spicy cashew chicken) with white chocolate raspberry cheesecake.

A YouTube sensation, Tennyson uses humor and his own video footage to relay salient points about his experience with diets like paleo, vegan or OMAD (one rmeal a day). In November 2020, he declared his intention to consume 20,000 calories in one day.

Tennyson peers into the box of 12 perfectly round, sugary, deep-fried doughnuts and quips, “Cloudy with zero chance of survival.”

But when it comes to consuming 20,000 calories in one day, there’s a bigger, badder binger out there: the brown bruins of Katmai National Park in Alaska. These animals wait patiently in and along the fast-flowing Brooks River, simply opening their mouths or pulling their paws through the water. Out pops a 4,500 calorie sockeye salmon. This fatty gift makes for a fatty bear. Location, location, location.

National Park Service rangers have created Fat Bear Week that will start Sept. 29 and conclude on Fat Bear Tuesday, Oct. 5. In addition to voting during this weeklong tournament, there will be a series of online chats on explore. org featuring naturalist Mike Fitz.

Katmai park rangers learn more about the individual bears and Katmai’s healthy ecosystem.

Fat Bear Week creates a “MarchMadness style bracket pitting individual bears against each other. The public then votes to see who will advance each round.

Voting takes place over several

People may vote using any criteria they see fit. In the end, one bear will reign supreme.”

In 2020, nature lovers from around the world cast almost 650,000 votes, and 113 articles and media pieces were written about Fat Bear Week. From around the world, there were 2.5 million bear cam views. A bear simply called 747 (and nearly as big as one) was the 2020 champion, deposing 2019’s champ, a big fellow named Chunk. Will 747 keep his title for 2021?

Colorado might not have fat bear contenders, but it is imperative to remember that allowing bears access to food or purposely feeding bears on your property will not only endanger the bears, your pets and kids, and your neighbors but could earn you a hefty fine. Let wildlife be wild and that means bears need to eat the food nature intended, not at the garbage buffet.

This year, the number of bear reports has dropped from last year. Jason Clay, public information officer for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, stated, “As for the natural food sources, those have been good this year thanks to all the moisture we’ve gotten. When bears have plenty of their natural food sources, we see a decrease in bear conflicts. Last year at this time, Area 1 (which includes Evergreen) had 242 bear reports.

This year the area has only had 174.”

What does this mean for Will Tennyson? Perhaps he should stick to experimenting with protein shakes and military ration diets and leave the EPIC 20,000-calorie contest to the real champions.

LIFE

A firefighter’s mission to remember 9/11 comrades

Denver 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb pays tribute, raises funds

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

O

n Saturday, Sept. 11, Americans will pay tribute to those lost in the worst terrorist attack in the country’s history as they reflect on the 20th anniversary of 9/11.

Like country star Alan Jackson’s song, “Where Were you When the World Stopped Turning,” many Americans to this day can remember exactly what they were doing when they heard the news that the World Trade Center had been hit by an airliner hijacked by terrorists. Americans still remember the fear, anger and sadness.

In Castle Rock, local firefighter Oren Bersagel-Briese said he had the day off and his pager sounded.

He ignored it, and a few minutes later, his pager, home phone and cell phone began going off. All firefighters were called in to Castle Rock Fire to be on hand.

At the time, Bersagel-Briese said his father, who worked with the International Organization of Firefighters, was visiting. Doing what they could, Bersagel-Briese said all the firefighters came together to help his dad organize how to handle the tragedy on a national level.

Bersagel-Briese, a fourth-generation firefighter, said after 9/11, he always felt a sense of duty to pay tribute and support for the firefighters and police officers lost that day.

In 2004, his efforts started on a small level with a handful of firefighters from Denver and Castle Rock getting together to stay fit and talk while climbing stairs.

As the tradition continued each month, in 2005 one of the firefighters brought up the idea of climbing specifically on Sept. 11. That year, five firefighters climbed 110 flights of stairs, representing the 110-story World Trade Center towers, where firefighters climbed on 9/11 to save

lives before the towers collapsed.

Besides a remembrance for lost comrades, Bersagel-Briese said, the annual event provides an opportunity to run a fitness exercise, raising the level of awareness for one of the highest firefighter priorities — physical fitness. More than half of the line-of-duty deaths among firefighters are heart-related incidents, he said.

Bersagel-Briese said in 2006, the group had 12 firefighters show up for what came to be known as the Denver 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb.

That year, Bersagel-Briese said, the participants realized they were on to something that could become a bigger event.

In 2007, the Denver 9/11 Memorial Climb grew to 250 participants from all over the U.S. In 2008, the number or participants was capped at 343, which Bersagel-Briese said represents the number of firefighters who died on 9/11.

In 2018, a total of 343 firefighters from Denver, Castle Rock and nationwide suited up to participate in the Denver 9/11 Stair Climb.

Say ‘I Do’ to the return of musical theater COMING ATTRACTIONS

Clarke Reader

T

hroughout the bulk of the pandemic, many of us have really buried ourselves in nostalgia to find some escape. And for a lot of us, there are few things more comforting than a good love story. Add in some music, and there you go.

That’s exactly what the Arvada Center is bringing to audiences with the return of indoor musical theater on Friday, Sept. 10 with its production of “I Do! I Do!” The show is brimming with human feeling and the kind of connection many have been missing.

“Our audiences have been without theatre for almost two years and it was important to me to open the season with something

that was smaller and more intimate,” said director Rod A. Lansberry. “Something our audiences could relate to and connect with and yet not be overwhelmed with a big splashy musical. Something that is warm and comforting.”

The show runs at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through Sunday, Oct. 10. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 1 p.m. on Wednesday and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Beginning on Tuesday, Sept. 28, all patrons aged 12 and older must be fully vaccinated and show proof of vaccination before attending indoor seated performances. Those who are unable to receive the vaccination must in-

stead provide proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 72 hours of your performance start time or a negative COVID-19 antigen test taken within six hours of the performance start time.

The two-character musical by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones (the team behind “The Fantasticks”) follows the story of a wedding and marriage that lasts more than 50 years. During those decades the couples endure the peaks and valleys that are part of every long-term relationship.

In an ingenious bit of casting, the Center is featuring two real-life married SEE READER, P17

Memorials allow personal reflection, in-person ceremonies planned

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Whether attending a special remembrance ceremony, or taking a personal moment alone, there are several ways to pay respects on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

For example, Castle Rock Com-

couples with alternating weekly schedules: Twyla and Johnny Wilson, or locals Adriane Leigh and Marco Robinson.

“Casting the show needed two strong actors that could not only portray a married couple but actually take us into the reality of a real married couple learning from each other during the process,” Lansberry said. “It is the same basics of the piece, but each couple brings their own experience and interpretation that gives it a slight twist from the other couple.”

Perhaps surprisingly, despite the fact that it’s the first inside theater in a year and a half, Lansberry said the process for putting together the show remained largely unchanged.

He described it as getting back on a bicycle and seeing if everyone could

munity Relations Manager Melissa Hoelting said the Castle Rock Fire and Rescue Department has several options for residents to choose from.

To take part in personal reflection, Hoelting said residents can stop by two 9/11 memorials in town. The two memorials are located at Station 151, 300 Perry St., and the Public Safety Training Center, at 303 Malibu St. These are always open to the public, Hoelting said.

Thanks to the work of local firefighter Oren Bersagel-Briese, the memorial at the Public Safety

Training Center was officially put in place in 2021 after six years of work.

The steel-box column recovered from Ground Zero that is now on display weighs 350 pounds and took years to be built into a proper memorial. After the memorial was completed, Bersagel-Briese, a Castle Rock Fire and Rescue Department division chief at the training center, said, having a piece of Ground Zero in Castle Rock is an honor.

Bersagel-Briese said he chose the training center for the new memorial because it is a place

where both firefighters and Castle Rock police officers come to train, noting that on 9/11 both police and firefighters ran to the World Trade Center together to save lives.

Hoelting said the public is also welcome to attend an in-person remembrance ceremony in conjunction with the Veterans Memorial Run. The ceremony will begin as soon as all of the runners have completed the run, which is slated to be between 2 and 3 p.m. This ceremony will be held at Station 152, 485 Crystal Valley Parkway.

firefighter they are running for,” Bersagel-Briese said. “They call and let them know they have not been forgotten.”

Now, in its 16th year, the annual stair climb has gained national attention as departments all over the U.S. have started hosting similar events. In a normal year, BersagelBriese said, there are more than 16,000 firefighters paying tribute to lost comrades on 9/11.

Bersagel-Briese said the Denver 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb is only

for firefighters. For the general public to pay tribute, a public stair climb event is hosted at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre each year.

The Red Rocks Stair Climb, 911stairclimb.com, is limited to 1,200 participants this year.

From the start, Bersagel-Briese said, the annual climb has always been about paying respects to the fallen comrades of 9/11. It was not about money, he said.

However, as the event grew bigger and gained more national

attention, the annual event started generating funds. Proceeds go to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, which provides funding to help firefighters who survived 9/11 but are now being diagnosed with cancer and other illnesses directly related to the attacks.

Over the years, Bersagel-Briese said, more than $7 million has been contributed to helping New York firefighters and their families.

still ride. But there never really was much doubt.

“I also hope they leave with the realization of how much they have missed theatre as a part of their lives,” he said. “It’s been a hard couple of years and we’re still faced with challenges every day but I feel it is important to give our audiences a chance to get out and enjoy a part of their lives that has been missing.”

‘Oracles of the Pink Universe’ is magical exhibit Simphiewe Ndzube invents intriguing world through paintings, sculpture

IF YOU GO The Denver Art Museum, located at 100 W. 14th Ave. Parkway in downtown Denver, is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free. One needs to reserve a ticket in advance. denverartmuseum.org, 720-913-0130.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A delightful small vacation is available at the Denver Art Museum through Oct. 10.

Simphiewe Ndzube’s paintings and sculpture are shown in a colorful exhibit — “Oracles of the Pink Universe” — which offers a trip into the imaginary world of a young South African artist, born in 1990, who currently lives and works in Los Angeles.

He has invented an intriguing world and presents images from it that reflect an arts education which blends European imagery, including “The Garden of Earthly Delights”

by Hieronymus Bosch (ca. 1504), with Xhosa tribal mythology and other segments from here and there that reflect colorful imagined worlds — and today’s political realities.

The painting “Bloom of the Corpse Flower” from this exhibit is a recent acquisition by the Denver Art Museum, getting DAM in on the ground floor with a talented young artist who is just holding his first U.S. museum exhibit, but is expected to become a big name in future years.

This plant appears in several paintings in “Oracles of the Pink

Simphiwe Ndzube’s “The Bloom of the Corpse Flower,” acrylic on canvas and mixed media, is part of the collection of the Denver Art Museum, which is showing Ndzube’s COURTESY PHOTO “Oracles of the Pink Universe” exhibit.

Universe” and DAM director Christoph Heinrich writes in an introduc-

tion to the show catalog: “Ndzube’s work interrogates the legacies of

apartheid based on his personal experiences, his Xhosa heritage and his knowledge of indigenous African and Eastern art.”

In addition to application of paints, the artist at times includes actual garments, bits of fabric and other objects in collage technique.

Colors are brilliant and sartorial styling is varied — we find a dude striding toward us in a pink suit and brown fedora, while in “A Visit to a Mine Moon,” a headless character with black and white checked gingham shirt and yellow glove approaches one who floats upside down, with a left leg that turns into a snake. Above them, a third fellow floats, rowing a boat with oars capped with yellow gloves.

On the next page, we find a fellow who looks as though he has a secret as he’s surrounded by dripping mustard colored clouds.

In one painting stands the Djinguereber Mosque, located in Timbuktu, Mali, West Africa, with design attributed to Abu Es Haq es Saheli, built in 1327.

A car-lover’s paradise Olde’s Garage hosts weekly Cars and Coffee

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Olde’s Garage is the place to be for car enthusiasts on Saturday mornings.

The weekly summertime Cars and Coffee, in its second year, draws 75 to 100 cars each week whose owners show off their vehicles, talk shop and swap stories. Even more people attend to admire the beautiful vehicles of all ages, shapes and colors.

Everyone is welcome at the loosely organized show. There are no awards, no competition — just car lovers getting out in the beautiful summer weather. Some are weekly regulars, some only stay for a short time, while others driving on Evergreen Parkway see the show and check it out.

David Taylor, owner of Evergreen Auto Brokers, calls Cars and Coffee the AA meeting for motorheads.

“We come here to commiserate with other car junkies,” he said.

From Mustangs to MGs, from Porsches to Pontiac Thunderbirds — the lots of Olde’s Garage and the neighboring Shell gas station are filled each week with cars. Cars and Coffee is the brainchild of Taylor, Olde’s Garage co-owner Monty Porter and Kevin McGuire with Transamerica Financial Advisors Inc.

A car enthusiast checks out the offerings at Cars and Coffee.

Kate Olde Porter, garage co-owner, has said as far as she knows, Olde’s has never hosted a car show in its 100-year history until Cars and Coffee.

Jim Beetham of Golden brought

his 2002 Aston Martin Lagonda DB7 Vantage Volante to Cars and Coffee on Aug. 28, calling it a fun, comfortable car to drive. He has a modest collection of cars, adding that being a car collector was an “expensive disease.”

Greg Fricke of Evergreen brought his golden retriever, Beau, in his light blue ‘66 Mustang convertible to Cars and Coffee. Beau sat in the backseat, watching the admirers go by. Fricke said he attends Cars and Coffee occasionally, noting that he learns a lot from other car owners about how to fix and improve his car.

Taylor believes Evergreen’s Cars and Coffee is the largest weekly event of its kind in the country, saying cars from Montana, Iowa and even Alaska have been part of the show. A core group of supporters attends every week, plus everyone else who shows up makes the event a fun adventure.

“We bring a lot of people to Evergreen,” Taylor said. “I think it’s a really good event for us.”

He noted that cars are boys’ first love — before they could have girlfriends — which makes them so

“As a young man, everything you remember was about cars,” Taylor said. “Our first toys were cars. The most sought-after thing when you were 15 was your driver’s license, and by 16, it’s getting your first car.

Cars are a symbol of American freedom. They’re a big deal.”

Comments generally favorable on Morrison’s paid-parking system Attendees at meeting say some glitches remain

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

About a half dozen business owners and residents at a Morrison Town Board meeting on Aug. 31 said they generally liked the managed parking program, though they believe there are glitches to work out.

“I love this town and the (paid) parking idea because people come into town, and they leave the cars here all day,” said Les Gomez, owner of Beso de Arte, “but the way it works, it’s not helping businesses be successful. I don’t want to have to field questions for a parking company. I’m trying to run a restaurant with COVID, limited staff and limited customers.”

Gomez explained that customers were coming into the restaurant bewildered by the paid parking program, which started in midJune, and his staff was stopping restaurant duties to answer parking questions.

In response, Gareth Lloyd, owner of Interstate Parking Inc., which operates Morrison’s pilot program, said his staff would create informational fliers and place a parking system QR code in the restaurant to help with the issues.

The Morrison Town Board decided to institute a paid-parking program through Interstate

Parking in response to businesses’ concerns about the lack of parking in downtown Morrison. Board members wanted to stop people from parking in the downtown area, only to return hours later without frequenting Morrison businesses.

Mayor Sean Forey told the group that the Town Board would decide at its Sept. 21 meeting whether to continue the program on a monthto-month basis and has slated the Dec. 7 meeting to decide whether to continue the program permanently.

Interstate Parking, which also operates similar systems in Idaho Springs, Breckenridge, Keystone and more, uses kiosks placed throughout the downtown area and a smartphone app.

Lloyd said since the program was implemented in mid-June, there have been 30,000 transactions for the 160 parking spaces — half through the kiosks and half through the app. The average user is spending $2.18 for parking.

The trial parking management system runs from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. The first 30 minutes are free, with the next 30 minutes $1. The second hour costs $1.50, third hour $2, fourth hour $3 and subsequent hours $5. A violation is $30 and doubles in 10 days for nonpayment.

Paul Thompson, owner of Red Rocks Beer Garden, said he went to Idaho Springs, which instituted a similar program a few years ago.

He said Idaho Springs businesses

owners told him the first year was rocky, but they saw sales increases and now like the program.

Thompson said he’s noticed an increase in sales over the summer, attributing it to the paid-parking program.

“Overall, this is really good for the town,” Thompson said. “Parking has a cost, and we have a finite amount of spaces. We need to maximize parking for customers.”

Attendees said they were happy with the parking system, and they believed it made sense to keep it going rather than stopping it for the winter months and starting it again.

Some were concerned with people who didn’t have smartphones or credit cards, so they have problems using the kiosks or the app.

Their comments contradicted Butch Luedtke, owner of the Morrison Inn, who told the Town Board in July that he was concerned his regular customers — not tourists — would become frustrated with paying for parking and would not frequent his and other businesses. He also was concerned about his employees’ safety as they walk long distances to their cars on dark roads where parking is free.

Those at the meeting suggested that the money the town gets from the parking system — which is 40% of the revenue after expenses — should be used for more parking or for promoting the town.

“The money won’t go back in the general fund,” Forey said. “This is

not a huge revenue generator. The town isn’t doing this for revenue.

We’re doing it to help serve the businesses.”

Perlmutter visits St. Anthonys Congressman visits amid latest uptick in coronavirus cases

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rep. Ed Perlmutter, CO-07, toured Lakewood’s St. Anthony Hospital Sept. 2, getting a first-hand look at the state-of-the-art T-10 Operating Room (OR), Intensive Care Unit and Flight for Life operations.

Nurse, Karen Lee, said active lifestyles a lot of Coloradans lead keeps the T-10 OR busy. Traumatic brain injuries from climbing, hiking, cycling, skiing and other outdoor pursuits augment the usual car crashes and other emergent conditions.

After hearing from doctors, nurses, a flight team and administrators, Perlmutter reflected on the facility he calls “a jewel for the entire state.”

“This is one of just a few Level One Trauma Center’s in Colorado.

They take the hardest, most urgent

kind of cases. And the T-10 room goes even beyond that.” he said. “To have a hospital like St. Anthony here — I think everybody in Jefferson County, the west side of Denver and the mountains sleep a little easier, knowing that you’ve got great doctors and a great facility nearby.”

St. Anthony’s website explains the origins of Trauma Room 10, or T-10, a dedicated field-to-surgery suite that stands ready 24/7 for trauma surgeons and specially trained shock trauma teams to provide lifesaving care to the most severely ill and injured patients.

The first T-10 was opened at St. Anthony Central in 1977.

The latest incarnation of the world-class operating room features a ceiling-boom design that integrates imaging and instrumentation. It also has a dumb-waiter style blood delivery system with specialized pneumatic tubes that enable blood and pharmaceuticals to be delivered to trauma teams quickly. T-10 also has CT imaging and interventional radiology equipment located immediately across the hall.

Littleton Museum seeks input for new exhibit Project will focus on Colorado history

BY SHANNA MAXCY SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The Littleton Museum is in the early stages of developing a new exhibit that will focus on Colorado’s firsts, famous Coloradans and fun facts.

The Colorado exhibit concept spawned from a list of artifacts created by Jenny Hankinson, Curator of Collections at the museum.

“The idea was to tell the story of Colorado through our unusual, fun and engaging objects, and to

borrow other objects from local museums,” Hankinson said. “For the exhibits we create in-house, we try to use as many of our artifacts as possible. Selecting and curating the unique objects into a cohesive narrative is one way of developing an exhibit.”

To help make the exhibit appeal to a wide variety of Coloradans, the museum is conducting a survey.

“While we are in our early stages of planning, the input we receive helps us to shape our themes and the stories we tell,” said Ryan Badger, curator of education and interpretation. “We are one of many Colorado museums and certainly not the first to put together

an exhibition that highlights the state and its history. Finding a niche that is dear to the hearts of Littleton residents enables us to put a different bent on our specific exhibition; this will guide our research and programming and hopefully end in an exhibition that resonates not only with locals, but people throughout the state and beyond.”

The exhibit is scheduled to open in June 2023 and run through 2024.

And though it is very early in the development process, Moira Casey, curator of exhibits for the Littleton Museum, said that gathering community input is an important step before the curation team begins diving into the research.

The survey opened in the beginning of August and will stay open through the beginning of October.

Casey said not only is the survey a great opportunity to get input on the front end, but it also makes the community a resource, sharing information the curation team might not know about.

There will also be a drawing when the survey closes and responders will have the opportunity to win a gift basket from the museum store, which is reopening after being closed for COVID-19 precautions.

The survey can be found at littletongov.org/city-services/citydepartments/museum/exhibits/ colorado-exhibit-survey.

lala, where he states “I have been making art from the moment I realized my consciousness, or rather, from the moment I realized I could do something with my hands … creativity has always been a kind of alternative space for me to understand the world. I make art to please myself and surprise myself. I have been able to turn my passion into a profession. Making art in these times in America, that can actu-

ally be seen by people beyond my studio, beyond my homeland, means so much to me because I am able to create something that has cultural capital. Further, I am able to support my family and younger artists around me.

“There is a deep voice that I want people to hear; there is a story that I’m trying to tell, one that is uniquely relevant to this time and this space. I am searching for an understanding of existence: why we’re here, an understanding of the planet, understanding these bodies, and an understanding of these figures I create that are traversing these spaces looking for meaning, love, liberation and freedom. I am

also poking fun at the comedy of life itself — the theatre of life.”

Ndzube later says, with regard to working as a Black artist: “Just being an artist from South Africa, I’m aware of a history of art that excluded black artists ... I want to expand options to bring so much more than identity and resistance to my work ... I see myself as a vessel ...

I’m interested in expanding options for what Black and brown artists are able to create. I acknowledge that my identity and where I’m from grounds the work, but I want my art to go beyond just me: I want to explore the limits of magical realism and its relationship to Third World countries.”

Golden gets a dose of vintage nolstalgia with new downtown store

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Stephanie O’Rourke has always felt like she was born in the wrong generation.

“I just feel like the music is better and the fashion is better from the 60s and 70s,” she said. “And it seems like other people agree.”

That latter point has been one of O’Rourke’s main takeaways since she launched Little Piece of My Heart in Loveland in 2018.

The store, which has a strong hippie bent,” later expanded with locations in Fort Collins and Boulder.

Now it’s come south to Golden, where it opened its doors at 1235 Washington Avenue on Aug. 27. It’s a move that O’Rourke says she has had her eye on for some time.

“I grew up in Littleton and always came to Golden and it’s seriously probably my favorite city in Colorado,” she said. “I just love it.”

So what can visitors expect when they step into Little Piece of My Heart’s bright and colorful Golden interior? Offerings that run the gamut from bright floral dresses to Rolling Stones tour t-shirts to soy candles and bellbottom pants.

“I would say that we are a woman’s boutique with a free-spirited, retro vibe,” she said. “We have some cool vintage tees, some that are more Indie style, a lot of tie-dye and crazy powder. Lots of stuff with mushrooms on it, too.”

IF YOU GO Little Piece of My Heart 1224 Washington Ave., Golden Littlepieceofmyheart.com While Little Piece of My Heart leans strongly vintage, not everything in the store is from the past.

The store also stocks a variety of gift items that she said are all handmade by small businesses around the country.

But O’Rourke said that if there is anything that unites the store’s offerings, it is her focus on offering “the unique stuff.”

“It’s stuff that you don’t really see in other businesses,” she said.

“We’re kind of trying to celebrate edgy, free spirited women.”

That ethos is also reflected in the shop’s name, which is a nod to the song “Piece of My Heart” that was popularized when the Big Brother and the Holding Company band fronted by Janis Joplin recorded it in 1968.

O’Rourke said she has currently hired one employee for the store but is working to hire more. She said she’s also hoping to add mens clothing to the mix in the near future.

While it remains to be seen how Goldenites will receive the store, several reviews on its Facebook page point to its loyal following up north.

Sarah Elizabeth Ball was one of

multiple reviewers to compliment the shop’s positive energy.

“You’ll feel it the second you walk in” she said. “And everything in the shop is one-of-a-kind.”

Laura Leah Flores-Olsen put it perhaps even more simply.

“Everything from little gifts to give to sass to self-care,” she wrote.

“My favorite downtown shop.”

And if the shop’s first few days are any indication, Little Piece of My Heart will soon find its place in the downtown fabric.

“It’s such a welcoming community and that’s especially true of the small business owners,” she said. “And it seems like there is a real passion for small business in Golden which is great.”

No. 3 Columbine rumbles past No. 9 Cherokee Trail

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — The story continues to be the same year-after-year … Columbine is pretty at running the football, maybe the best.

Longtime Rebel football coach Andy Lowry doesn’t look to mix in the latest offensive scheme trend.

Three yards and a cloud of dust is just fine with him.

“It starts up front and our backs and blocking for each other,” Lowry said. “We have our commitments as backs. No. 1 is you better block and No. 2 is you have to carry out fakes, after that you have to take care of the football. Our guys are working hard. Those guys all had great nights.”

Columbine showed off its latest version of its classic physical running attack Thursday night at Jeffco Stadium in a top-10 showdown against Cherokee Trail. The No. 3 Rebels took care of business with a 52-21 victory over the No. 9 Cougars.

The Rebels (2-0 record) scored seven rushing touchdowns with senior Seth Cromwell and junior Tyree Hayes-Trusty leading the way. Cromwell and Hayes-Trusty combined for 34 carries for 414 yards and six touchdowns on the night.

Lowry also handed out credit to the Rebels all stellar offensive line and sophomore James Cillessen who filled out Columbine full-house starting backfield.

“This might be one of the deepest backfields we’ve had in a long time,” Lowry said. “I’ve got about eight dudes that I can run in and out right now. It’s kind of hard to give them all reps right now.”

Hayes-Trusty began the scoring capping off an opening 74-yard touchdown drive with a 2-yard touchdown. His second touchdown came on a 24-yard run early in the fourth quarter that pushed Columbine’s lead to 38-14.

Cromwell dominated the first half with 11 carries for 180 yards and three touchdowns before halftime.

Columbine senior Seth Cromwell (34) breaks into the open to the joy of the Rebels’ sideline during the first half Sept. 2 at Jeffco Stadium.

midway through the fourth quarter after Hayes-Trusty gashed the Cougars’ defense for a 58-yard run.

“We just had to run it down their throats,” Cromwell said. “We do some specific plays to open up specific gaps and that is what happened.”

The Rebels’ back-up running backs were impressive late with sophomore Josh Snyder scoring

on a 1-yard touchdown run in the final minutes. Columbine scored on eight of its nine offensive possessions, punting just once and not turning the ball over.

“This is all we do at practice… trap, trap trap and run, run run,” Cromwell said. “We have to be good at it.”

Cherokee Trail (1-1) did have some success on offense. Quar-

competed on Thursday, along with Platte Canyon middle and high schools attending.

There were a total of six races with middle school girls and boys races, high school girls and boys races, along with wheelchair and assisted walker events.

There were also student/ athletics from a few of the area high school who helped run the events.

“There is learning on both sides,” Wickoren said of the student/athletics and full teams that come to volunteer to help run each event. “This program is only successful

terback Logan Brook had a pair of first-half touchdowns to Jack Pierce — 59 and 3 yards. Brook was guiding the Cougars on a nice drive to start the second half with the Cougars trailing 31-14, but Columbine senior Grayson Headrick came up big intercepting Brook in the red-zone.

because of them, their support and their teams.”

Wickoren added that he has varsity coaches reach out to him before schedules are set up to make sure they can help run events. Columbine’s football team and Green Mountain’s track and field squad are two examples of programs that stepped up to the plate to help the program grow.

Soccer, football, bowling, volleyball, basketball, hockey, softball and track & field are all on the schedule. The plan is to have at least one event every month through the 2021-22 school year.

“The goal is to have a full schedule,” Wickoren said.

Wickoren was named the 2019 Adapted P.E. Teacher of the Year by the Central District Society of Health and Physical Educators (SHAPE).

While the pandemic prevented in-person events, the excitement is definitely back.

“It was really tough because they didn’t get the social interaction,” Wickoren said. “It is a great social environment.”

“I pushed the receiver I had toward the sideline and when I turned around I saw the ball to my left,” said Headrick, who allow kicked a field goal to end the first half. “I just made a play on the ball and was right were I needed to be for that pass.”

The Cougars could only manage a 6-yard touchdown pass from Brook to tight end Gage Gordon for their lone score after halftime.

Columbine heads to Las Vegas next

week to face Faith Lutheran next Friday night.

“This will be the first time I go to Vegas and I won’t lose money,” Lowry joked.

The Rebels are focused on mainly pocketing a third victory to start the season.

“It is a business trip. We might have a tiny bit of fun,” Headrick said. “We want to make sure we win first.”

3 measures qualify for Colo.’s statewide ballot Voters will decide questions on taxes, legislative money control

about the measure.

Colorado Education Association president Amie Baca-Oehlert said her organization has anxieties over the implementation of the out-ofschool learning program under the measure and whether students will truly be able to access aid in their communities.

There are no other groups seeking to place measures on the November ballot.

2 ballot, backers needed the signatures of 124,632 registered voters, including a minimum of 2% of registered voters from each of Colorado’s 35 state Senate districts.

The two other questions on the statewide ballot in November are: -- Initiative 27, which would lower the property tax assessment rate

for multi-family residential homes to 6.5% from 6.8% and to 26.4% for lodging properties from 29% -- Initiative 25, which would impose a new 3% sales tax on recreational marijuana starting Jan. 1 and increasing to 5% by Jan. 1, 2024, at which point it is projected to generate about $138 million a year. That’s in addition to the existing 15% state sales tax on recreational marijuana. The money generated by the increased taxes would go toward bolstering out-ofschool learning.

Initiatives 19 and 27 are being pushed by Colorado Rising Action, a conservative fiscal group.

Initiative 25 has bipartisan support, though the marijuana industry and the state’s largest teachers union have expressed concern

commissioners consider several criteria, including the impacts of the proposed land use, how those impacts will be mitigated and any changes in circumstances in the area since the comprehensive plan was approved.

Little then stated that he is opposed to the development because it exceeds the density allowed in the comprehensive plan.

“We didn’t move here to live in a high density neighborhood,” he said. “We moved here because of the open spaces.”

Another commenter, Joel Day,

said he lived four parcels down from the proposed development and took issue with an assertion made by Theisen that there are other duplexes in the area, which he said is not true.

Day said he was concerned about the amount of development on his street, which has gone from 18 to 36 homes over 20 years, and the impact of duplexes on his property value.

“Duplexes typically become rental properties and rental properties are not going to help our resale value in this neighborhood, which we care about greatly,” he said. “And if you

guys look, the houses behind you are multimillion dollar homes and I don’t think they want to look at duplexes either.”

Day argued that the developer should consider a development that would adhere to the comprehensive plan, which would allow for up to 10 detached single family homes on the site.

Following the meeting, the developer will have one year to formally apply to rezone the property. The rezoning application would ultimately be voted on by the county commissioners.

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado voters will decide whether the legislature should have more control over how money from legal settlements and the federal government is spent after a third and final measure qualified to be on the statewide ballot in November.

The signatures turned in to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office by proponents of Initiative 19 were deemed sufficient Aug. 31.

To get their question on the Nov.

DUPLEXES FROM PAGE 10

Clauson, who is handling the rezoning case, said there is a comprehensive plan and that it recommends a density of 2.5 dwelling units per acre for the property. However, the density of the proposed duplex development would be 4.1 units per acre.

When a development proposal is higher in density than the area comprehensive plan calls for, the county planning commission and county

Dick Lamm remembered for policy, passion and prescience Former 3-term Colo. governor honored at Denver service

BY DANIEL DUCASSI THE COLORADO SUN

The late former Gov. Dick Lamm was a man of vision and prescience, a complex character in the state’s political history who was never afraid to follow his convictions and take on controversial issues, his family and fellow Colorado politicians remembered Aug. 31.

Current Colorado Gov. Jared Polis praised Lamm Lamm’s life of service, not just to the state as both a lawmaker and governor, but also in the U.S. Army to his nation, as a lawyer to his clients and as a teacher to his students.

“Whether or not you agreed or disagreed with Dick, nobody can deny he lived a full life and one that was truly dedicated to serving others,” Polis said in opening remarks at a Denver memorial service that drew hundreds, including prominent Colorado politicians such as Democratic U.S. Sens. John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet.

Lamm, a Democrat, died July 29, less than a week short of what would have been his 86th birthday.

Speakers praised Lamm for his passion for policy, particularly as an advocate for the environment and for opening the door to the liberalization of abortion laws.

Former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb, who served in Lamm’s cabinet, described his friend and for-

mer colleague as a “member of the greatest generation of political leadership in Colorado,” contemporaries with Democratic former U.S. Sens. Gary Hart and Tim Wirth, as well as Democratic U.S. Rep. Pat Schroeder.

“Dick was truly Colorado,” Webb said. “Independent, tough, strong, complicated, unpredictable, kindhearted.”

Lamm was no stranger to controversy during his time in office, and afterward.

Lamm was a state legislator in 1972 when he famously led a movement that spurred voters to reject funding for the 1976 Winter Olympics.

That remains the only time a host city has rejected the Olympics after they were awarded.

He also generated controversy for remarks he made in 2006 that suggested Latinos and Blacks lacked the drive and ambition of

Asians and Jews.

Speakers remembered Lamm for his ability to foresee problems like climate change and urban growth, with Polis calling him “prescient.”

Lamm was also described as a man ahead of his time on hot-button topics. Speakers noted he was on the vanguard on environmental issues and pushed the country’s first law liberalizing abortion regulations, six years before the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on abortion rights in Roe v. Wade.

“Patients from across the country benefit from Dick Lamm’s belief in, and advocacy for, bodily autonomy and the right to make our own healthcare decisions,” said Vicki Cowart, CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains.

Cowart said Lamm “took the position he believed was

right no matter what.”

Lamm’s daughter, Heather Lamm, recounted her father’s love for reading and intellectual discussion, guessing that he “probably ascended to the pearly gates only to inquire of St. Peter what he had been reading over the summer.”

His wife, Dottie Lamm, told the story of their love for each other, starting from how they first met and their first date to the time they spent “cocooning during the lockdown,” giving them a chance to look back on their lives and express their love for each other.

The couple shared a deep affection for Colorado, which Lamm governed for 12 years from 1975 to 1987.

“Our marriage was rooted in Colorado soil,” she said.

“We fell in love with the state before we fell in love with each other.”

The memorial service,

held at Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum, was punctuated with musical performances by local musicians Purnell Steen and the Five Points Ambassadors. The service concluded with a rendition of John Denver’s Rocky Mountain High.

In her final comments, Dottie Lamm bid her husband a final farewell: “Goodbye, love of my life. We had a really good run. Now pass your torch, release your spirit, raise your wings and fly over the Rockies.”
