Eaton said assessment results show Jeffco students are on par with students state-wide and in counties with similar demographics.

Outside of testing data, surveys completed by students and teachers gave insight into the climate and culture in Jeffco Schools. Participation in the “Make Your Voice Heard” and other student surveys, increased from previous years.

Eaton said that data shows students are worried about academic performance. The student surveys indicated students attending inperson school were more egaged than remote learners. Teachers who

On Sept. 3, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office announced that someone in the custody of a private community corrections agency it partners with had died.

It was the second time in four days that the Sheriff’s Office had to make such an announcement.

The first death came on Aug. 31, when Damion White, 26, was found unresponsive at ICCS’ Lakewood residential facility for men in the early morning. He was later pronounced dead.

The second death came on Sept.

2, when Sean William Hayes, 30, was found dead in the store where he was working as part of a work release arrangement. According to the Sheriff’s Office, Hayes died of an apparent drug overdose.

Hayes was on his second day in work release custody after being transferred to ICCS on Sept. 1 to begin a 90-day work release sentence. White had been transferred to ICCS on July 14.

As of press time, the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office had not released autopsy reports for either death and likely would not for several more weeks.

White’s death was also not the first of someone housed at ICCS this year. In May, 33-year-old female work release inmate Brittni Marie Miller was found unresponsive at ICC’s female facility in Lakewood.

Jeffco assessment results are in — and not great Progress made last year, but improvements trail pre-pandemic levels

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

2020-21 state assessment data is incomplete but combined with information from MAP (Measure of Academic Progress), CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success), Acadience and SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) results, Jeffco’s School District is able to get an accurate picture of how the year went.

The picture that emerges from the

date suggests academic progress was lacking.

In a presentation to the Jeffco Board of Education, Dr. Carol Eaton, Executive Director, Instructional Data Services, said students made progress last year, but the gains were lower than in pre-pandemic years.

Eaton said students ended last year with lower performance than in typical years, with math scores coming in lower than reading scores. A bright spot is that graduation rates have improved over time.

According to the data, pandemicrelated academic difficulties disproportionately impacted minority, reduced lunch eligible, special education and English language

Back with the guys Mines football players from 1960s swap memories at annual reunion

It’s been decades since Jim Taylor, John White and other former Colorado of School of Mines football players slapped on their cleats and took to the school’s gridiron for games against old rivals like Colorado College.

But when 28 of the school’s players from the 1960s returned to Marv Kay Stadium for their annual reunion on Sept. 11, it often felt like not much had changed.

Sure, faces looked a little older and bodies moved a little slower than they had back then and the men now handed off beers to one another rather than football. But the sense of community and camaraderie felt as strong as ever.

“We just enjoy it,” said Taylor, who played three years for the varsity team starting in 1968, of the reunions. “They’re good guys, they’re all engineers and we all went through the same stuff and that’s why we’re here.”

Taylor said the first reunion of players from the 1960s took place in 2015 when the new Mines football stadium was dedicated to longtime coach and beloved program booster, Marv Kay. “Everyone said ‘we should this again’ and then somebody said `you should do this every year,” Taylor said. “And now we are doing this every year.”

During the reunion tailgate, which was held in the grass area at the south side of the stadium prior to the current team’s game with New Mexico Highlands University, old teammates recalled some of their more memorable games.

Dave Scriven, who played for the team from 1966 to 1970, recalled a major snowstorm that led to only half the team being able to fly to Durango to face Fort Lewis on a makeshift field on the town’s fairgrounds. That game is immortalized in Mines’ athletic hall of fame.

“One of my teammates and I ended up having to play both ways

because we were both offensive linemen and the defensive guys got hurt early on,” he said. “But it was a wonderful game that we ended up winning.”

Also recalled was the aforementioned rivalry against Colorado College, which came to an end after Mines laid down back to back beatdowns.

“They quit playing us,” said Taylor.

Of course, it just wouldn’t have been a football reunion without a little competitive ribbing and chest pumping.

Former wide receiver Jim Honea recalled how he was lucky to play in the mid-1960s just as Mines was embracing a more passing-centric offense, which allowed him to set many passing records.

However, one of his buddies then chimed in that those records didn’t last for long before being broken by Nelson King, who was also at the reunion.

“He broke all of his records,” the teammate said. “Barely.”

However, there was also plenty of humility, at least when it came

center weighed 150 and my guard weighed about 140.”

But while football is a boys’ sport, the former player’s wives weren’t the only women at the reunion.

Two of the team’s early cheerleaders, Pam Titus and Virginia White, also made the trip.

While White cheered when a Mines fraternity was in charge of providing male cheerleaders and recruiting girls from other local colleges to be their female counterparts, Titus was a part of Mines first group of female student cheerleaders after Mines started to enroll a handful of female students (there were 12 in White’s class including five who would ultimately graduate).

“Marv Kay called us up and said

this is the 100th anniversary of football, it’s important that you do a good job out there and we all said `oh no,” said Titus. “But we showed up for the first game, there was six girls and one guy, and that was it from then on they had co-ed cheerleaders.”

While Kay wasn’t able to make

the reunion, his presence loomed large as many players recalled his outsized impact on the program and their own lives. Scriven recalled how Kay pushed the team to be a playoff team even when it didn’t always meet that goal and therefore set a standard of excellence.

King, meanwhile, remembered how he told Kay he would need to quit the team before his sophomore year because he could no longer afford to play football after getting married.

“Marv calls me back about an hour later and says `I got you a job as a dormitory supervisor you and your wife you can live in a dorm apartment for free and get free food’ and we did that for three years,” he said. “That’s the kind of guy Marv Kay was.”

But while the reunions are always a celebratory occasion, they also carry the bittersweetness of growing old.

“It’s a little melodramatic, it’s getting to be where the reason you come back is to see who is still alive because we’ve lost a few which is tough,” said Honea. “But it’s fun.

And no matter how good you were, the stories make you sound better then you were.”

Why Are Real Estate Agents (except ours) Still Resistant to Shooting Narrated Videos?

Narrated video tours of all listings has been a trademark and “value add” for Golden Real Estate since our founding in 2007. Many times in this column I have promoted the value of narrated, live action video tours.

Back in 2005 or thereabouts, I even did a presentation at the weekly marketing meeting of the Jefferson County Association of Realtors (since merged into the Denver Metro Association of Realtors) showing my fellow Realtors how easy it is to shoot and edit a narrated video tour.

Yet, I still know of only one or two agents outside of Golden Real Estate who create such video tours.

Analyzing 100 currently active Jeffco listings on REcolorado, I found that only nine had non-drone video footage (60 were just slideshows with or without music). Only two of the nine had walkthrough video footage, but they lacked some factors which meet our standards.

Our standards are pretty simple. It has to resemble an actual showing. That means the listing agent begins the shoot in front of the house, giving its address and perhaps panning to show the street and neighboring houses. Then he or she takes you in the front door, talking all the while, pointing out features that may not be obvious in a still photo or slideshow — this is a hickory hardwood floor, this is a gas fireplace, notice the mountain view out this window, this is a quartz countertop and Silestone sink, etc.

We feel it’s important to do a single clip of each floor, not separate clips of each room, so the viewer gets a sense of flow. Our preferred camera (a DJI Osmo Pocket — $119 on Amazon) has a gim-

bal stabilizer, so we can walk up and down stairs with Steadicam-like smoothness, but if we make a separate clip of each floor, the first clip ends with a view up the stairs, and the second clip begins with a view down the stairs — again to provide a complete sense of flow for the prospective buyer.

Because our video tours are the digital equivalent of an actual showing, we have sold some of our listings to out-of-state buyers who only saw the home in person when they flew in for the inspection a week later.

They felt they knew the listing well enough from the video tour, and none of them terminated after seeing it in person. Isn’t that what an actual video tour should be like?

So the question remains — why aren’t other real estate professionals taking the time to shoot actual narrated walkthroughs of their listings?

One answer may be camera shyness, but all the agent needs to do is to talk, not be on camera. Just pretend you’re talking to a buyer! In fact, being on camera takes away from the video. I used to be on camera at the end of my videos, thanking the viewer for touring my listing and inviting them to call their agent or me to see it in person. I no longer do that, now simply putting my phone number and email address on the screen as I speak from behind the camera lens.

Another reason agents may choose not to shoot a video tour is that we are increasingly drawn to out-source our tasks, including shooting the photos (which we, too, out-source) and even putting the sign in the ground.

Just Listed: Updated Home in Golden’s Mountain Ridge The Village at Mountain Ridge is one of my $995,000 favorite Golden subdivisions. It is nestled between Highway 93 and the Mt. Galbraith Park, which you can glimpse behind and above this new listing at 342 Washington St. (Mt. Galbraith is popular as a hiker-only, no bikes, open space park.) This 4-bedroom, 3½-bath home built in 1999 sits on an oversized quarter-acre lot that has been beautifully landscaped and terraced in the back. Inside, you’ll love the slate and hardwood floors, the updated kitchen and bathrooms and the home theater in the basement with included screen and projector. I doubt you’ll find anything you’ll want to update or change in this fine home! Look for the magazine-quality photos and my narrated video tour (of course!) at www.MountainRidgeHome.com, then come to the open house I’ll be holding this coming Saturday, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Typically, the companies which shoot magazine-quality real estate photos will offer to create a video, but they are typically just offering to create a video file such as an .mp4 file consisting only of a slideshow of the very same still photos that are displayed in slideshow form on

the MLS itself. If they offer to add narration, it will likely sound inauthentic because the speaker is someone who hasn’t seen the house. In short, such a “video” simply can’t compare to a walk-through of the home with the listing agent, who can describe its not-so-obvious features.

My June 10th column, which you can read at www.JimSmithColumns.com, concerned a “freedom of expression” bill passed by the legislature prohibiting HOAs from restricting the display of flags or signs by homeowners, whether political or other non-commercial signs.

I warned that this could unleash a flood of partisan signs which could be detrimental to the harmony of neighborhoods. The bill was signed by Gov. Polis on July 7th, so it’s now law. I haven't seen a surge of “Trump Won” or

“Black Lives Matter” signs which might have previously been banned, but the law only took effect last week, so only time will tell what the effect will be.

HOA rules now have to be “contentneutral.” Only the size and number of signs can be regulated. I’ve seen only one HOA (the Highlands Ranch Community Association) issue new rules consistent with the law. They limit each home to 2 signs up to 18”x24” except during a specified Election Period, when 5 signs up to 3’x4’ are allowed.

New Flag & Sign Bill Took Effect on Sept. 7th

‘Electrical Vehicle Roundup’ Returns on Oct. 2

On the first Saturday of October every year, it’s our practice to sponsor an EV round-up in the Golden Real Estate parking lot. That means that on Saturday, Oct. 2nd, from 3 to 5 pm, there will be 20-plus electric vehicles of all makes and models and their owners — no dealers are invited — ready to show you their cars, let you sit in them, look under the hood (look, ma, no engine!) and perhaps take you around the block.

I’ll be there myself with my silver Tesla Model X, and maybe Rita will bring her red Model S. Visit my website, www.DriveElectricWeek.info to see the EVs that are already registered and to register your own EV if you’ll be bringing one. No hybrids, please, just EVs. The event happens during the monthly SuperCruise, when our lot is usually filled with gas guzzlers, but not this month! This way, the hundreds of spectators who line South Golden Road to see those gas-powered cars will get the opportunity to see what electric cars are

all about and speak with their owners.

You can expect to see EVs from Audi, Nissan, Ford (the new Mustang), Chevrolet, Hyundai, Jaguar and other manufacturers. This is a watershed year for electric transportation with new EVs being introduced every month. Next year you can expect to see the electric Ford F-150 Lightning and maybe even the Tesla Cybertruck.

Our event is also timed to be part of this year’s Metro Denver Green Homes Tour, held each October to show off net zero energy and otherwise “green” homes. It’s from 9 to 4 that day. Register at www.NewEnergyColorado.com.

Blight fights: Lakewood’s biggest headaches Why blight designation debates have become routine

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tempers flared once again as Lakewood City Council met Aug 16.

The reasons were many, but as is often the case nowadays a fight over a blight designation was part of the mix.

It raises hackles virtually every time they discuss it. The city has been fighting it — and fighting over it — in various ways for quite some time. Anyone who’s driven down parts of West Colfax Avenue, certain stretches of Sheridan Boulevard, or areas of the Two Creeks neighborhood, to name just a few locations, might think they know why it’s been such a pressing issue.

But that’s where the subject takes an interesting turn. Because the fight over blight is more than meets the eye.

A blight designation is not always about getting rid of blighted properties so that those properties can become cleaner, safer, more welcoming additions to the city’s neighborhoods and commercial districts.

It often goes much deeper than that — into the realms of gentrification, growth, and high-density residential construction that many residents are opposed to, as evi-

denced by the 1% growth cap known as the Strategic Growth Initiative that passed in 2019.

The Initiative also requires city council approval for residential projects of over 40 units.

The 1% growth cap is a logical place to begin this crash course in blight. Because often, if appropriately zoned, blight designations are sought with a particular outcome in mind — high density residential.

In such cases, new units built don’t count against the city’s growth cap.

This creates a conundrum. Voters expressed their wish to slow growth and development in the city. But are new apartments, condos or townhomes worse for crime, property values, etc. than a truly blighted city block?

Council member, Mike Bieda, Ward 3, thinks new construction built on properties given a blight designation should count against the city’s cap. He said language in the growth cap specifies it should be done that way.

What’s in a name Who applies for a blight designation, and who pays for it, are also issues of concern. The council was discussing whether or not to keep the current process used to consider a blight designation at the Aug. 16 meeting.

Blight studies are often paid for by developers looking to find land for a project they’d like to build. For the sum of several thousand dollars, a company will do a blight study that

is then presented to council. This rubs some council members the wrong way.

Because nearly without exception, the property being examined is found to be blighted in the study — whether it’s actually blighted or not. Council member Charlie Able expressed exasperation with the process.

“We have had true blight brought to us through this process. A couple of properties — max,” he said. “I think what a lot of folks think is blight is affordable housing that needs a paint job.”

In a recent council meeting, a property near West 14th Avenue, under consideration for a blight designation — and recommended by city staff to receive one — was found not to be blighted by every member of council —including councilors representing the ward the property was located in. Council members, in that particular case, thought the property merely needed a good cleaning up and mowing.

Relieved property owner? Not really. In this case, and others, property owners actually want their property to be considered blighted.

They make a case to council for their property to be given the blight designation, because they can then cash in by selling to a developer.

The current process could actually encourage property owners who want to sell, but are prohibited by the growth cap, to let properties fall into disrepair, thus making a blight designation a greater possibility.

Council member, Ramey Johnson, Ward 1, questioned when trash and other elements of blight appeared on the West 14th Avenue property, suggesting they may be purposeful.

Councilor Anita Springsteen, Ward 3, called blight studies presented to council discriminatory shams leading to gentrification.

But Councilor, David Skilling, Ward 4, hit back against Springsteen’s characterization of the studies, ripping into the assertion that developers paying for blight studies was a problem and that blight designations leading to high-density construction went against the intent of voters who approved the growth cap. Bieda then countered that he thought developers should continue to pay for the studies, but the City should pick the firm that performs the studies.

Mayor, Adam Paul, wrapped up the topic with questions about how to handle the topic of blight moving forward.

“Should we look at when and how these things (blight studies) come to us? The ‘how’ means, is there a better way to deal with a developer, or a land owner hiring their own (consultant)? Also, do we look at what Mr. Bieda said, when they come before us, do we deal with the 40 (residential units) cap or not? And should whatever (blight construction) is approved go against the 1% cap going forward?” he said.

All questions that remain to be answered about the future of Lakewood.

and the fires were blazing and kind of obscuring views of everything.

There were no patients. We were doing a lot of eye washes for the firefighters because there was so much debris drifting around. But we weren’t treating anybody because most people either got out on foot or didn’t make it.

Arvada native served as nurse near Ground Zero on 9/11 About Me I’m from Arvada originally and grew up there. I went to Arvada West High School and sang in church as a kid and did musical theatre at the Arvada Center occasionally. It’s a great place.

I went to college in Chicago at North Park University and got my nursing degree after high school.

I got my first nursing job in Oklahoma, ended up moving back to Colorado and worked at Lutheran Medical Center and St. Anthony Hospital, working as an ICU nurse.

While I was working as a nurse, I was pursuing acting and moved out to Los Angeles to pursue acting after my first few years as a nurse. I went to New York to audition for things on Broadway.

I was in line to audition for Footloose when the World Trade Center came down.

In the heart of it I was inside a building in Times Square and got a call from my mom telling me that something had happened. I didn’t see or hear anything, but when I got outside, there was smoke starting to bellow. I was a little too far away to see the World Trade Center.

Liz Randall, center, and her family.

I’m a first responder, and that first responder instinct just kicked in and I found the nearest hospital to Times Square in my dance shoes.

I went there and just said, `Hey, I’m a nurse, I don’t know if you’re going to need mt help, but I’m an ER nurse back in Colorado.’ They gave me a pair of scrubs and told me to wait.

A few other nurses and I were just sitting there doing nothing, and I just felt the urge to be helpful. So, we grabbed a taxi driver and just said, ‘Just take us down there, we want to help.’

Everything had been barricaded, so people couldn’t get down there,

COURTESY PHOTO

but out taxi driver was awesome and would stick his head out the window and say, `Hey, I’ve got doctors and nurses with me!’ and the police would move the barricades and let us in.

We ended up getting all the way to Stuyvesant High School and ended up setting up a clinic at the school, which is about six blocks away from Ground Zero.

Once we got down there, we were walking around on pulverized cement and there was all this grey stuff drifting and blowing through the air. Firefighters were giving out masks. I couldn’t really see anything because there was so much smoke,

Harsh reality There was definitely a camaraderie happening where everyone was pulling together to try and help.

There was a somber mood because there was so much uncertainty and we weren’t getting any patients, so it was a little bit of chaos and confusion.

I was there for the whole day, and after a while, the harsh reality set in and we began to understand; I don’t think anyone’s coming.

Later on, they started to evacuate us, thinking that our building might collapse.

It was just one of those significant moments in your life where you start to wonder and realize who you are.

I realized my life could be in danger, and I just remember thinking, `I’m not leaving, I’m going to stay with these people because we’re all volunteering our time and we’re in this together, and I’m going to make sure I’m part of the effort to help save people.’

Remembering Brethren Fast Music community fondly recall Don Messina, Mik Messina and Gordon Beesley

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For those who were around the Denver music scene in the 90’s, Brethren Fast needs no introduction. The purveyors of “electrified hillbilly hot-rod funk” charmed audiences and contemporaries alike with their good looks, groovy riffs and racing team outfits for over a decade, during which they rose to prominence as one of — if not the — most visible bands in Colorado.

During their peak in the late 90’s — which included sponsorships from Harley Davidson and Budweiser, along with gigs playing Broncos and Avalanche games — the band consisted of brothers Don “Dynamite” Messina on vocals and guitar, Mik “The Stick” Messina on bass and Gordon Beesley on drums.

Tragically, all three of the Brethren Fast members met untimely deaths. Don died in a 2015 car accident on Lookout Mountain, Mik died of organ failure in July and Beesley — who became an Arvada Police officer in 2002 — was killed in the Olde Town Arvada shooting in June.

Though their time was unduly cut short, their far-reaching influence on the local music culture continues to be felt today.

Their albums Sideburns from Hell, What in the Hell?, 500 Laps of Beer Drinkin’ Fun and Diesel Drivin Buddies earned them placements on MTV, Fox Sports and the Discovery Channel, and their raucous live shows saw them playing nearly 200 gigs a year at during their peak.

The band started in 1995 after the dissolution of Don’s project Elik Pink. By that time, Mik and Don had spent a few years playing in different projects and decided they wanted to join forces.

“The brothers played in a bunch of different bands separately and then in the mid-90’s locked in on playing together and kind of ro-

tated through drummers,” said G. Brown, who was one of the Denver Post’s music reporters at the time.

“But when they got Gordon in there, that’s when they had their heyday, if you will.”

While the trio started out with Ordy Garrison behind the kit, Beesley soon took the sticks and continued playing with the group until other responsibilities demanded more of his attention.

He was replaced by Nate “Dawg” Nicholsen for the latter years of the group’s run.

Brown says Beesley was integral to the group’s sound.

“You need a guy to lock it down in the back,” said Brown. “And Gordon was able to do that for them.

He was their most notable drummer — that was kind of a rotating position. I think they had a couple of guys play before and after, but Gordon had the longest stint.”

Those who knew the Brethren Fast guys recall them as kindhearted, approachable people who loved to have a good time.

Wendy Clark played hundreds of shows alongside Brethren Fast with her band Tequila Mockingbird, and says the band always made themselves available and kindly offered tips.

“They were really sweet, good guys,” said Clark. “They were definitely rock stars. If you’re a different band, they’re just regular guys. Mik especially — all the girls had a crush on him. Gordon was, I think, the nicest drummer I’ve ever met. They were sweet, approachable guys.

“They gave us a lot of different advice,” Clark continued. “It’s simple stuff sometimes, like `walk towards the stage when you have a solo’ and `walk backwards when you’re letting someone else have the stage.’ Just good advice.”

James Elias fronted Furious George and the Monster Groove out of Arvada and played dozens of shows with Brethren Fast. Elias recalls the trio as scene builders who preferred to build community rather than be competitive with

other bands.

“Brethren, we had known them and had done some small shows with them, and they were great,” said Elias. “They were good guys… they got us into some rooms. They got big and we were playing the Bluebird and the Gothic and all the other theatres in town — well heck, there was no other band we really wanted to share those bills with than Brethren Fast.

“We just had a great time together,” Elias continued. “They were scene builders. They were out to build; they weren’t out to compete with other bands or musicians.

That’s what was so great. and that was a lesson I learned from them early, that that was a better position to be in, to be a scene builder and there was no competition between a bunch of small-town bands. The better we all did, the better we all did. And that was a real strong movement for all the bands in the 90’s in Denver.”

BRETHREN FROM PAGE 6

“Fast cars, fast motorcycles and fast women” The Brethren Fast boys were not just known for their hospitality and scene building efforts. The trio, who grew up in Golden, were known motorcycle enthusiasts, a passion which culminated in a sponsorship with Harley-Davidson, yielding custommade Brethren Fast racing team jumpsuits.

They were known to occasionally ride their bikes onto the stage to start gigs and would sometimes perform in their racing suits. Motorcycles were a core facet not just of the band’s iconography, but of the member’s lives; Mik and Don were known to ride Harleys and Gordon would later become a motorcycle officer with APD. Jon Solomon of Westword wrote in a 2015 obituary for Don that the group liked “fast cars, fast motorcycles and fast women,” an attribution that is consistent with the subject matter of their songs.

Gina Burg, who was a fan and friend of the band, said that their style choices inspired others to follow suit, despite the presumed incongruity of biker style with 90’s fashion trends.

“All of a sudden they were geared out, and then of course, everybody wants to copy their style and then all the girls started to wear outfits with pinstripes down the pants and everything,” said Burg. “And I’m like — ‘this is the 90’s right now.’”

Jeff Gray was Brethren Fast’s photographer during the band’s peak, ,and said that when Beesley initially joined the group, he didn’t quite fit into the band’s aesthetic.

“The first photoshoot that we went to go do, Gordon is like two feet taller than Mik and Don,” said Gray. “So, I showed up and Mik and Don are in their usual gear — like chrome, jumpsuits, done up to the hill — and for the first photoshoot the best Gordon could do is a Sunday suit, a business suit. So, we tried to figure out how the hell we were going to make this mesh for the first photoshoot together.

“And I ended up having to put Gordon in the back because he was so much taller, and we went to a bridge that is right by the downtown Denver skatepark now, and we did some shots down there in a field right there kind of goofing around,” Gray continued. “I think we got some Elvis glasses on him to have him blend in a little bit more. Gordon just always had a smile on his face. they all did, our photoshoots were super fun. lots of joking around, lots of brainstorming.”

At another photoshoot, Gray recalled the trio trying — and failing — to maintain a serious demeanor at the Colorado Raceway.

“We went to an old broken down early 40’s Ford that was sitting in the back like junk,” said Gray. “I wanted to do a serious shot because most everything we did was goofing around. I wanted to do one where they were mean mugging like tough guys, which wasn’t in any of their personalities at all.

“And Don and Mik kind of seriousuped for me, and then Gordon, the most serious he could get was sitting there grinning,” Gray continued.

Brethren Fast at a photoshoot at Colorado Speedway.

“But I think he was so happy to be in that band and just a happy person with everything and to be around those guys.”

“Everybody loved them” Burg recalled a time when Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers was in town and started a jam session with Brethren Fast and other local musicians.

“There was one time around Thanksgiving where everybody’s in town and they were playing the night before Thanksgiving, that huge drinking night,” said Burg, “and the drummer from the Red Hot Chili Peppers was dating someone that lived in Colorado and then he got up on stage and was jamming with them and all the other rock bands like Furious George (and the Monster Groove) and all these people.

“Everybody’s up on stage rapping and singing and playing the instruments,” Burg continued. “It was fun. It was so much of a community.

Everybody loved them” As the trio progressed into middleage, familial and professional obligations began to phase them out of the scene. The band was less active during the Messina brothers’ final years, but continued to play the odd gig here and there, and Beesley would depart to be the founding drummer of The Railbenders.

Clark said that the Denver music scene has changed drastically in their absence, shifting more to an every-person-for-themselves climate.

“I’d say it’s gotten a little more saturated,” said Clark. “I would say everybody’s in a band, it seems like.

And a lot of bands aren’t as committed to each other, in my opinion, as they used to be. (Tequila Mockingbird) had a lineup for 12 years that stayed together.

“Everybody was friends and we all knew what band we were all in, rather than them being in seven different bands,” Clark continued.

“It seemed like it was more of a family. “I feel like there was a lot of

COURTESY OF JEFF GRAY

competition, but in the right way. we were all competitive, but we were all family.”

Gray said that one of his last conversations with Beesley involved the two commiserating over teaching their kids about boomboxes.

“Maybe 6 months ago, I had

posted a picture of my daughter with an 80’s boombox,” said gray. “And Gordon called me up and said that he was explaining to his boys what a boombox was. And we just talked about philosophy, talked about the funness of teaching your kids what an 80s boombox is.”

Shots fired near NAAC during Friday night football game No injuries or property damage reported STAFF REPORT

New arrangement for work release The deaths of two men in ICCS custody so close together is shining a new spotlight on the agency, which the Sheriff’s Office began contracting with to house and manage male inmates participating in its work release program just earlier this year.

For decades, ICCS, which is an independent nonprofit agency, has housed and served a population that largely included offenders that have diverted from traditional incarceration and those that are returning to the community after a prison sentence.

Those in the custody of ICCS were often able to work while receiving services such as educational and vocational assistance and sometimes being monitored for issues like drug use.

In February, the Sheriff’s Office

juries or property damage has been reported as of the afternoon of Sept.

11, and APD is investigating “active leads” but have not made any arrests, according to Public Information Officer Dave Snelling.

At around 8:30 p.m., officers who were already working security at the game between Pomona High School and Doherty High School responded to the sound of four gun shots coming from the west side of

the stadium, which is located at 64th Avenue and Highway 93.

Officers found at least three shell casings at the scene.

“There’s active leads and we’ll pursue those,” said Snelling. “Hopefully there’s an identification and an arrest made soon.”

Witnesses gave conflicting reports. Shawn Wingate said he was at the game, and stated that “It was definitely gunshots,” while adding

that he heard three rapid shots followed by two more. Jake Esau said he was working as a referee at the nearby soccer field and heard “loud pops,” but figured it was a celebration coming from the football field.

The game between Pomona High School and Doherty High School was not disturbed by the incident, and the Panthers defeated the Spartans 44-14 in their homecoming game.

began contracting with ICCS to house and supervise inmates serving a work release sentence, Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Karlyn Tilley said in an email to Colorado Community Media. The agency had already been housing and monitoring female work release inmates.

According to the Sheriff’s Office website, the county’s work release program allows inmates “who meet specific criteria to serve time while maintaining employment or attending school in the community.” Those participating in work release must also pay a daily fee to the county that is determined based on their income and ability to pay.

Tilley said the Sheriff’s Office began contracting with ICCS to house the male work release inmates as a response to COVID-19 and the desire to separate inmates housed in the jail facility.

At various points during the pandemic, the Sheriff’s Office took several steps to reduce the risk of transmission in the jail, including

implementing enhanced booking standards, releasing inmates who had served much of their sentence and reopening a closed floor of the jail.

with the county to provide a total of 100 beds for work release inmates.

On Sept. 10, there were 73 men and 16 men completing work release at ICCS. All work release inmates are now housed at ICCS, she said.

JCSO “concerned” but contract continues In her emailed statement, Tilley said the Sheriff’s Office “is concerned by any in-custody death, including those that occurred in the work release program.”

She then explained that while JCSO is contracting with ICCS to house and monitor inmates sentenced to work release, it does not have oversight into any internal investigations ICCS may or may not be doing as a result of these recent deaths.

However, the County’s Critical Incident Response team, is also investigating both deaths, she said.

The CIRT response team is made up of representatives from various law enforcement agencies and also investigates discharges of firearms by law enforcement that result in death or injury.

“Our ultimate goal is to bring the (work release) program back into our own facility, but for now we do not have plans to alter the contractual relationship,” Tilley said.

She also explained that the Sheriff’s Office has begun providing ICCS with behavioral, medical and mental health histories of inmates upon their transfer to ICCS, although that change was made prior to the recent deaths.

According to Tilley, it is the courts that sentence inmates to work release. Currently, ICCS is contracted

No comment from ICCS ICCS, meanwhile, declined to comment about the recent deaths and how it is responding to them for this story. In response to emails and phone calls, ICCS CEO Kelly Sengenberger said the agency has “no comment” and directed Colorado Community Media to address questions to the Sheriff’s Office.

Michael Teague, the spokesman for the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office that serves Jefferson and Gilpin counties, explained in an email that the DA’s Office’s role in determining who is sent to ICCS for work release is limited to either objecting or not when a defendant requests work release and either a judge or the department of corrections is considering granting it. He did not offer any additional comment on the two deaths.

Similarly, Jefferson County Public Information Officer Julie Story said the county commissioners were declining to be interviewed on the deaths because the commissioners are not involved in the Sheriff’s Office’s relationship with ICCS. “It’s really just a contractual relationship that the Sheriff’s Office has with ICCS,” she said.

Colorado Community Media also reached out to First Judicial District Chief Judge Jeffrey Pilkington via email about the deaths but had not received a response at press time.

Firefighters and community members gathered Sept. 11 at Red Rocks for the Colorado memorial stair climb. PHOTOS BY SHANNA FORTIER MAXCY

After a virtual event last year, the Colorado Stair Climb to honor the 343 New York City firefighters who were killed in the line of duty at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, was held in person this year.

Climb honors the fallen, 20 years later Colorado 9/11 Stair Climb maxed out attendance

The American flag flew high above the red rocks Sept. 11, as the notes from “Amazing Grace” rang

out from the bagpipes and drums below. Twelve hundred firefighters and community members stood in silence before ascending the ramp into Red Rocks Amphitheatre to begin the Colorado 9/11 Stair Climb — a climb of 110 stories in honor of the firefighters who died on Sept. 11, 2001.

CLIMB FROM PAGE 10

“It’s been 20 years since September 11, 2001 and so this year is extra special because last year we didn’t have a climb due to the pandemic,” said Shawn Duncan, captain at West Metro Fire and coordinator of the Colorado 9/11 Stair Climb. “So the fact that we can get together and climb in person today and remember the 343 firefighters that we lost and 3,000 Americans 20 years ago is huge.”

This years event was capped at 1,200 registrants plus children to allow for social distancing. In the past, the event has hosted about 4,000 participants.

“Looking out in the crowd, there’s some of you here that were too young to remember or weren’t even born yet,” Duncan said before the climb. “So it’s really meaningful to me and all us firefighters that you’re here to remember. We made a promise to never forget 20 years ago and this is how we keep that promise.”

One of those participants that wasn’t born yet is Adeline Robin-

son, 17. Robinson is in the firefighter training program at Warren Tech. She said even though 9/11 happened before she was born, it’s still important to her to honor the firefighters and show respect for the profession she is training for.

While there was no official in-person event in 2020, some firefighters like Raul Alvarez, with Timberline Fire Protection District, climbed anyway.

“We did it last year when nobody was here because of Covid,” Alvarez said. “We still came up and did our own. There were still a couple of firefighters here. I like doing this just the memorial of fellow firefighters that have passed and everybody, the victims. That’s why I walk. Just to memorialize them.”

For some, the event has become about more than just remembering the firefighters lost on 9/11.

“It’s become about everything; remembering everybody and all the people that are special to us,” said Mike Simons, of West Metro Fire.

Simons climbed this year in honor of Zach Lewis, a young firefighter with Rattlesnake Fire, who died in as accident recently.

“He was always up here climbing with us and he was a young kid who had a great future ahead of him and he died tragically, so he climbs with me today,” Simons said, in reference to the photo of Lewis tucked into his helmet.

Duncan said that even though 20 years has past, this event is still important because FDNY continues to lose firefighters due to 9/11 related illnesses and families are still dealing with the loss and tragedy of that day.

“I saw someone post something the other day that said, I miss Sept. 12, 2001,” Duncan said to the crowd at Red Rocks. And that really struck a nerve with me.

I’ve been having really hard time the last couple months with the decisiveness in our country right now. But think back to Sept. 12, 2001, the only thing that mattered is that we were Americans and we were people and it really brought us all together.”

The Colorado First Judicial District’s Critical Incident Response Team investigation into the June 21 Olde Town Arvada shooting has been completed, First Judicial District Public Information Officer Michael Teague announced in a Sept. 9 press release.

The findings of the investigation — which centered around the officer involved shooting of Good Samaritan Johnny Hurley of Golden — have not been released at this time.

District Attorney Alexis King and a team of prosecutors will now conduct a review of the investigating and determine wheth-

against the officer. An Arvada Police officer is confirmed to have shot Hurley during the incident and was placed on leave shortly thereafter.

No APD officers were involved in conducting the CIRT investigation. The investigation was led by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s office, according to the release.

APD is conducting the investigation into the death of Officer Gordon Beesley, who was killed by gunman Ronald Troyke. Troyke was killed by Hurley in the shooting.

“We’re grateful to be moving forward so the family and community can have answers while at the same time we understand that a thorough review takes time,” said APD Public Information Officer Dave Snelling.

Untangling the Green Mountain Water Board mess With a recall election looming, key players speak out about the District’s future

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tuesday, Oct 5, a special recall election will take place. At stake — three seats on the Green Mountain Water and Sanitation District board. The recall effort is the latest skirmish in a war that’s been fought since at least 2018.

The election will be conducted by mail-in ballot. The ballots, required to be mailed between 15 and 22 days prior to the election date, should be arriving in voters’ mailboxes any day now. Those ballots can be returned to a drop-off location between now, and 7 p.m. on Oct. 5.

But how did we get here? And what happens next?

Murky water board recap In 2018, former members of the board entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) that would have expanded their District’s reach, and in the process, supply sewage service to Big Sky Metropolitan District to help bring sewer waste from Big Sky’s system to Denver Water.

The board of directors for Green Mountain approved the agreement, but later that same day the outcome of district elections changed three of the board members. The new members immediately moved to invalidate the IGA. Big Sky filed a lawsuit in response, arguing a breach of contract, and seeking $140 million in damages.

Green Mountain Water District’s attorney at the time, Jo Deziel Timmins, argued provisions in the IGA would require costly improvements

e

to the district’s infrastructure. And since the IGA gave no indication of how those improvements would be paid for — it amounted to a violation of TABOR (Colorado’s Taxpayers Bill of Rights) which requires voters approval of the expense. In May, Jefferson County District Court Judge Jason D. Carrithers issued a ruling dismissing the case.

But the dismissal of the Big Sky case wasn’t the end of the drama. A recall petition circulated to remove three board members — two of which, helped scrap the IGA to begin with. The third vote to dissolve the IGA came from Board President, Adrienne Hanagan.

Soon, Jeff Baker, Board V.P., Alex Plotkin, Board Secretary and Karnen Morgan, Board Treasurer, will find out if they’ll serve out their elected terms or be replaced.

If voters give Baker, Plotkin and Morgan the boot — what then?

Several candidates have stepped up to replace them but it’s unclear what the end game of the recall will be.

The recall petition lists legal fees incurred and other financial mismanagement as reasons Baker, Plotkin and Morgan should lose their board seats. It also accuses them of shutting down public comment at board meetings and general disrespect for constituents.

Timmons, far from being hailed as a legal wizard for wining dismissal of the Big Sky lawsuit has been fired from her post by the three board members facing recall. Replacing her is Scott Gessler. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because Gessler, a republican, is the former Colorado Secretary of State. He has been in and out of the news since then, haveng been found guilty of ethics violations for spending government money on travel to a political event while in office, running for governor, running for state party chair of the GOP and most recently serving as attorney for the unsuccessful

pro-recall campaign of several Westminster City Councilmembers over water rates.

For her part, Morgan says she’s done nothing wrong and she’s unclear about the motives of the recall effort. Regarding charges of silencing public comment at meetings, she says she pushed for a specific public comment period to bring more order to meetings that had in her opinion been chaotic. In response to allegations that she didn’t produce financial reports, she says she was operating the same way her predecessors had.

Morgan says she would like to retain her seat on the board if possible.

Brenda Bronson, one of the main recall backers, wants Morgan gone.

Bronson said even removing one of the three members facing recall would be a victory. And in her opinion, Morgan is the one who should go. She thinks Morgan has been the main cause of disfunction on the board since her arrival in 2020.

Bronson admits the ouster of all three board members could create a scenario that would open the door again to the Blue Sky development

deal.

In Bronson’s opinion, the problem with the original IGA was simply the way things would be paid for.

“Rich people own that land and they’re going to develop it anyway,” she said. “We have the capacity to send sewage water from that area to Denver Water in our pipes. If an agreement’s not done, it could lead to them having to build another treatment plant in Rooney Valley.”

The newspaper reached out to Plotkin and Baker to allow them the opportunity to weigh in on the controversy and answer accusations directed in them in the recall petition. Both agreed to speak, but due to press deadlines those interviews will appear in a future edition.

Decaffeinate and de-escalate

O

n any given day I will usually have one or two cups of coffee in the morning.

On those days where I have three or four, I feel a very palpable difference … I am wired. I also notice WINNING that I am a bit more WORDS anxious and a lot more impatient.

For me, I cannot drink coffee at night for this very reason. I would be up all night. We all respond differently to caffeine, some get wired like I Michael Norton do, and others can drink coffee all day without losing the ability to fall asleep at night.

As I look around at what is happening in our country and around the world, I feel like maybe, just maybe there are way too many over-caffeinated people out there.

Violent crimes, verbal attacks, road rage, stadium brawls, random acts of violence and other assaults on humanity are occurring with greater frequency, and in some cases, an all-time high.

I am not a clinical expert, but anxiousness, fear, doubt and worry seem to be at an all-time high as well. It’s like we are going to our favorite coffee shop asking for a double shot of impatience with extra anxiety. Or we are making our own coffee at home, maybe the double espresso anger brew with some steamed “Hurray for me and the heck with you” creamer.

And that’s just the coffee version. For others it may be the caffeinated soda we drink or the highly caffeinated beverages we consume. Would we like a large or super-size cup of revenge with that burger and fries? And if we really need a jolt, maybe we pick up a shot of the five-hour hostility, you know that little bottle with a kick in it.

What could possibly be going on at a baseball game that could stir such hatred amongst the fans?

And are we talking about the fans at the World Series, or parents at a Little League baseball game? Are we coming together to enjoy the great American pastime, “baseball, hot dogs and animosity pie?”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Salute to a local hotel We in the (Weld County sheriff’s department) public affairs office just recently learned about this story and feel a long overdue thank you is owed to the managers of the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Wheat Ridge - Denver West.

Back in June, one of our jail deputies, Lauren Ruvalcaba, volunteered to stand watch over Arvada Police officer Gordon Beesley after he was ambushed and killed while on duty in Olde Towne Arvada. Standing watch is something we do in the public safety sector whenever a first responder is killed in the line of duty, dies in an accident or otherwise passes away before their time. First responders take turns guarding the deceased 24 hours a day until they are laid to rest.

Lauren was assigned to a 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. shift. Rather than drive back home to Weld County in the middle of night, Lauren went to the Holiday Inn to rent a room after her shift. When the manager learned what she was doing in town, she comped Lauren’s room.

The kindness and generosity of this gesture can’t be overstated. Thank you, Felicia Romero, for taking care of our deputy and for showing your support to the peace officer profession.

I am not sure about you, but I am seeing more and more road rage on our streets. Offended drivers attacking one another, flipping each other off, riding so close on the other one’s bumper to try an intimidate them. It’s like they look down and see that their bitterness tank is full, and they feel compelled to try and empty it.

Wouldn’t it be better to attend a game and get an order of nachos with a side of jalapenos and good sportsmanship? Or perhaps drivethru at our favorite coffee house and ask for an iced latte with a double shot of kindness. Maybe we can look down at the gauges on our dashboard and see that our gentleness needle is right where it is supposed to be as we just let others drive on by, even letting them get in front of us.

Did you ever notice that when you scream or yell or threaten others that they now pay attention to you? No, of course you haven’t because that never happens. What does happen is that the other person usually does one of two things, they shut down or they

stand up and fight back. And in either case, nothing gets resolved.

Instead, there is just lots of shoving, pushing, name-calling, brain damage and heartache.

Look, caffeine is certainly not the problem, it was simply used for illustrative purposes. But we are acting out in ways that would suggest that we could all use a little decaf right now. A supersize decaf with two packets of “I love you” and some extra forgiveness while we refuel our hearts with understanding and patience.

Isn’t it time to pause and take a bit of the edge off? Are we sweating the small stuff, the big stuff and everything in between? I would love to hear your thoughts and your story at mnorton@ tramazing.com, and remember that when we decaffeinate, we are more likely to deescalate, and then it really will be a better than good year.

Rounding third base as fourth quarter nears

T

he fourth quarter of the year begins soon. Investors are still on the edge of their seats concerned about potential tax law chang- FINANCIAL es and any Fed- STRATEGIES eral Reserve policy that might spook the financial markets.

The economy is open … or is it? Pandemic concerns continue, schools Patricia Kummer are open, but some have reverted back to remote learning. Many employees continue to work from home. No wonder it feels like we are riding an economic seesaw.

A deeper look boils down to a few distinct issues that affect investors: What will the Fed do? And will COVID-19 and its variants shut down the economy in a big way again?

Our Chief Economist, Bill

Greiner, believes our current elevated inflation numbers are largely based on the partial reopening, supply chain issues and pent-up demand for goods and services. This will likely calm down over time, Greiner says. This is key for the Fed to decide whether inflation is enough of a sustainable threat to raise interest rates in the near term.

Last year, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell launched the framework to hopefully lead us back to more normal policy at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium.

That may be slightly derailed this year based on an uneven labor market and surge of the coronavirus Delta variant, per Bloomberg News.

It may be difficult for investors to be patient and watch for meaningful opportunities, rather than second-guessing how the remainder of the year will play out. The uncertainty in employment, education, inflation and interest rates may

be here for a while. The first eight months of the year produced above-average investment returns, so what lies in store for the last few months of the year? You could think of this in a baseball analogy, rounding second base and safe at third. Now, do you wait for someone else to hit the ball?

Or do you steal home plate before the next out? Think of what you don’t have control over and when to take action.

Significant unknowns remain with the delta variant and how this will affect the economy in the long run.

Many businesses feel they are behind by a year and a half by now, and some employees currently plan to remain home until next January. The macroeconomic picture is murky with a burgeoning federal deficit and global ramifications from China in addition to the Fed story and inflation.¹ The positives that help bal-

A Colorado mom-and-pop business inches closer to red ink

T

he new priorities of the United States Postal Service will be the end of our momand-pop business.

Last summer, packages that our business shipped via USPS began to go missing or GUEST took months to reach their destiCOLUMN nation. Over the last year, we have spent a massive amount of time and expense tracking down packages, sending out replacements, filing claims forms online or by phone, and Alexa Metrick communicating with frustrated customers. Boxes being shipped internationally are even worse, as they sometimes disappear into limbo for up to half a year, assuming they turn up at all.

My parents own and operate a small business called Sopris Unlimited. Calling it a small business is a misnomer; it is literally a mom-and-pop operation. In 1982, my dad designed one of the first frame pack saddles for llamas and, three years later, he and my mom launched the family business.

Our line of llama pack equipment is used by customers throughout the United States and across the world, from Norway to Australia, from Israel to Argentina. Although we started the business in Carbondale, we are now based in the little mountain town of La Veta.

We are not, nor have we ever been, a brick-and-mortar store; we started out with mail-order print catalogs, covers emblazoned with

ance out the negatives are that we have high labor productivity, a strong money supply and positive corporate earnings. Although we expect to see housing prices and corporate earnings start to slow, the first half of the year showed enough growth for an entire year.

Investors and their advisers should focus on the fundamentals, which show continued positive equity markets with monetary policy, GDP growth and earnings all improving. However, every good financial plan should have flex-

End the endless war After 20 years in Afghanistan, it is time for the United States to acknowledge that peace and security can never be achieved through military force. As a grandmother, I don’t want to see my grandchildren being sent off to any future war.

One of the most important lessons we can learn from our failure in Afghanistan is the importance

candid photos of my brother and me out on the trail with llamas. We now receive the majority of our orders through our website. But if you call our 800 number, my dad answers the phone, answers your questions, and takes down your order the old-fashioned way, with pen and paper.

As you might imagine, the customer base for llama pack saddles is not large, and we are one of only a half-dozen sources for this type of equipment. Eleven years ago, we expanded our line to include gear for all of the smaller pack animals (including alpacas, goats, sheep, reindeer, yaks, and donkeys), but that still puts our annual receipts at $41,450,000 less than that of the average firm in our mail-order industry as designated by the U.S. Small Business Administration.

And although the SBA doesn’t have a standard number of employees listed for the industry, I’d imagine we’re on the low end; over the decades, various members of one Old Order Amish family in Iowa have manufactured our product line by hand.

This business has been a daily presence in my parents’ lives for nearly 40 years. So it seems just a bit ironic that, of all the volatile market forces that have threatened it over those decades, our demise might come about because of poor management of the government agency that has consistently been ranked as America’s favorite by Gallup.

The USPS is a vital service to rural America. Unlike our national postal service, private corporations such as United Parcel Service and ibility for when those unknowns become reality.

Make sure your plan is in order as we start the final quarter of a very unusual year. Check and see if you should adjust your taxable income, 401(k) contributions or realize capital gains or losses before year-end. There are a lot of opportunities to take better control of your finances before there could be changes next year, in interest rates, inflation or tax policy.

Thank you to Representative Ed Perlmutter for co-sponsoring and voting for HB 256 to repeal the 2002 Iraq Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF). I also thank Senator Michael Bennet and Senator John Hickenlooper for co-sponsoring SJ Res 10 to repeal the 2002 Iraq AUMF. I ask them to urge Senate leadership to bring it immediately to the floor for a vote.

FedEx are not federally mandated to deliver all mail to every address, no matter how remote, nor to do so for the same price as a delivery to an address in an urban distribution hub.

The accessibility and affordability of the USPS is especially relevant to our business, as our employees and our customers are overwhelmingly rural.

The future of the United States Postal Service has been under threats of privatization before Louis DeJoy was appointed Postmaster General and Chief Executive Officer, but the last year with him at the helm might be what finally does our family business in.

Longer delivery times, higher prices, reduced hours, and closed stations are bad enough, but the number of packages we’ve had go missing over the last year has been devastating to our bottom line.

DeJoy intends to make package delivery the main product of the USPS over the next 10 years, and yet it is that very service that has failed our business, over and over again, during the last year and a half. We are inching nearer and nearer to the red because of mis-

takes made by the USPS; mistakes that rarely, if ever happened before 2020.

When DeJoy’s new 10-year-plan, with its focus on cost-cutting at the expense of delivery performance, forces my parents to close down their business, I’m sure Wall Street won’t notice. No economic indicators will be affected and there won’t be a flood of unemployed workers looking for new jobs.

But anyone who ships their products directly to their customers, from artists to inventors to llama pack saddle manufacturers, are being adversely affected. It will be that much harder for those of us who exist in niches to make a living at them.

Pandemic, concerns about sustainability shape style trends

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

M

omentous events are often a force in shaping fashion trends and industry standards.

Locally, Denver metro area fashion gurus say they are seeing new trends amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and as environmental sustainability is increasingly grabbing consumers’ attention.

A resurgence of ’90s style, and retro vibes. Sparkles and sequins. Bold colors, and patterns galore. Also, an emphasis on individual style rather than fitting in a box, body positivity and sustainable fashion.

Genesis Gomez, a Westminster-based model, like many accrued a collection of loungewear when the pandemic first struck.

“I had my daytime pajamas, and my nighttime pajamas,” she said. “I have a whole slipper collection now.”

More recently, she switches it up. Some days she’s back to wearing professional clothing — a blazer and nice shirt — but not every day. With a longtime penchant for ’70s style, Gomez is also embracing that trend lately, throwing on oversized sunglasses and bellbottom jeans, styled with a sleek middle part and natural makeup.

“Embracing the oranges, greens, blues, tie-dye,” she said. “I’m big on the ’70s look these days.”

Interviewed as the model prepared to walk shows in New York Fashion Week, Sept. 8-12, she said she was most heartened to see people focusing on being themselves,.

“I think that that is truly beautiful, how we are kind of coming into a world where people are just really embracing what fits them best,” she said.

Vail Film Festival ready for a bigger, bolder 2021 COMING ATTRACTIONS

Clarke Reader

D

oing something for the first time is always a fraught process, but you often come away with all kinds of beneficial lessons that can make it smoother next time. Such is the case for the Vail Film Festival, which was an early adopter of the all-virtual film festival approach in May 2020. And as the event prepares for a second virtual event, organizers are ready for a bigger and bolder event.

“Last year we had to do a quick turnaround and worked with a new platform to create an online viewing experience,” said Corinne Hara, festival director.

“Knowing the platform like we do makes

this year’s festival much easier, but understanding how people watch online with all the flexibility it provides is the big change.”

The 18th annual Vail Film Festival runs from Thursday, Sept. 23 through Sunday, Sept. 26. Films will be streaming on Eventive’s virtual platform, which allows viewers to view their selected films on Roku, AppleTV or their computer or mobile device.

This year’s event continues the organization’s mission of fostering “independent film through film screenings, panels, workshops, networking events and educational projects,” with a particu-

lar focus on female filmmakers. With 80 films available to view, this is the festival’s most international lineup yet, with entries coming in from all over the world, including New Zealand, Japan and Brazil.

“If you think of creativity, so often it’s fueled by personal strife and triumph.

This year we’ve had some incredible submissions because I think the pandemic allowed people more time to be creative,” Hara said. “As people have become more comfortable with virtual content, that has encouraged more submissions from around the world.”

Amanda Crazybear is another model who works throughout the Denver metro area. She’s studied fashion history and worked in the industry for 10 years.

“I feel like everybody has had just a rough time and kind of got lost,” Crazybear said of the pandemic.

“Now everybody is kind of emerging.”

She’s watching her two teenage daughters join the revival of ’90s trends, picking up styles she once wore herself, she said, and mixing in goth and urban streetwear inspiration too.

“I think the ’90s were just a fun, funky time of freedom of expression for people,” she said.

Like her daughters, Crazybear said she’s observing people mesh multiple styles, not just settling for one. Dressing up also helps a person feel good, she said, complimenting Colorado designers for creating designs that empower people of diverse backgrounds and needs.

Darlene C. Ritz is the Denverbased fashion designer behind DCR Studios. She has a doctorate in education and a passion for designing for every body type.

One of the festival’s strongest areas is its documentary category, and this year is no exception.

Some highlights include “Kiss the Ground,” which features famous faces like Woody Harrelson and Gisele Bündchen discussing the importance of regenerating the world’s soils, and “D-REP: Fight for Life.” This film tells the story of Dave Repsher, a Summit County Flight for Life nurse, who survived a helicopter crash in July 2015.

It is also important for festival organizers to keep alive the connection and networking that traditionally accompanies film festivals — something they’re aiming to do with question-and-answer sessions, panels, a live award ceremony on the 26th and other social-mediadriven options.

The push for the personal element

shift away from homogenous trends throughout society toward more individual expression, she said, and the pandemic’s onset expedited that.

People were home more, browsing the internet, on their phones and online shopping.

For many, shopping became a pastime. Anything they wanted was available with the click of a button, and so too was fashion information, she said.

That’s helped lead to consumers becoming more educated, and as a result making a return to slow fashion and sustainable fashion, she said. They’re deciding to waste less, as are designers. They are purchasing higher-quality items in order to keep them longer, instead of throwing items away after little use.

Ritz took her collection to New York Fashion Week, where she also focused on less waste and including all body types and genders. She gathered inspiration on a trip to Mexico, taking in the many colors, and on a trip to Las Vegas, where she saw an exhibit that featured a phoenix.

Rising from the ashes plays a theme in here collection, she said, as are a flourish of prints.

“Fashion is a celebration, and we are seeing that people are coming out of this wanting to celebrate,” Ritz said. really gets to the heart of what makes a film festival special — something Vail organizers understand clearly.

“We’re always excited for filmmakers to spend time in town, so we’re excited to see interactions on social media and host a virtual festival lounge, since that’s the closest we can get to mirroring in person,” Hara said. “We have great programming by great filmmakers, and we know sharing everyone’s point of view enriches the conversations.”

New mural brings dose of color to Dinosaur Ridge Life-sized ‘geometric sculpture’ also planned

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Morrison’s Dinosaur Ridge has long provided a unique chance to see the footprints left by dinosaurs.

But starting now, visitors will also get a fresh perspective of what it might have been like to see dinosaurs walk across the area’s prehistoric landscape.

That perspective will come via a new mural covering two sides of the facility’s ticket booth at its visitor center, which depicts three dinosaurs walking across the mudflats that once characterized the area.

The dinosaurs depicted include a large stegosaurus, the first skeleton of which was discovered at Dinosaur Ridge, and two long-necked apatosaurus. Artist Julia Williams said she was also planning to draw several tracks in the mud flat to reflect the fossilized footprints that can be seen at the site.

Painting the mural has been “a perfect opportunity” for Williams, who goes

MORE FROM THE ARTIST To see more of Julia Williams’ work, including her other murals throughout the Denver metro area, visit thedesignosaur.com. by the artist name “The Designosaur” and has painted several murals around the Denver area, including a few depicting dinosaurs.

“I’ve always loved dinosaurs since I was a little kid,” said Williams. “I feel quite a connection to them.”

Kristen Kidd, the marketing and communications director for Dinosaur Ridge, said that affinity for dinosaurs made Williams a natural to design a mural for the visitor’s center, which already has several painted stegosaurus figures spread around its exterior.

“Naturally when we learned about her, we were curious about what she might do here,” said Kidd in an email. “And her design knocked our socks off.”

Williams, who lives in Superior, said the opportunity was also particularly exciting because she frequently visited Dinosaur Ridge while growing up in Arvada.

“I couldn’t believe it when they called me,” she said.

Julia Williams paints scales onto a stegosaurus as she continues work on her mural at the Dinosaur PHOTO BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO Ridge ticket booth on Sept. 8. The stegosaurus is the Colorado state dinosaur.

One of Kidd’s trademarks is super bright colors. The Dinosaur Ridge mural, which has a color scheme consisting of bright purple, red, orange and yellow, is no exception.

“I think it’s super warm and inviting and fun,” she said. “I wanted to bring some sort of color to this

area.”

The mural isn’t the only new piece of artwork coming to Dinosaur Ridge.

In a press release announcing the new mural, Williams explained that Golden-based artists Pat Madison and Jim Dickson will also soon be partnering on a new piece for the facil-

ity called “Eolambia.”

The release describes that piece as a life-sized geometric sculpture of a planteating dinosaur called an eolambia that “will resemble a Rubik’s Cube with its multi-colored design.”

The project will be visible to passing traffic along I-70, SEE DINOSAUR, P27

Community and firefighters celebrate return of Big Chili Event falling on 9/11 anniversary adds to poignancy

2021 BIG CHILI WINNERS Firefighter Challenge 1st Place - Clint Sayler – Platte Canyon Fire Department - 5 x winner (time 2 minutes) 2nd Place – Chris Volek – Evergreen Fire Rescue (time 2 min 8 sec)

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There was no better way for local firefighters to mark the 20th anniversary of 9/11 than by spending time with their colleagues and communities at the Big Chili Cook-Off. At least, that was how Evergreen Fire/Rescue firefighter Chris Voleck felt.

“I think there’s no better way than the American way — neighbors helping neighbors,” he said. “And that’s what we’re doing here.”

Thousands of people turned out for Saturday’s Big Chili Cook-Off, the annual event that benefits six local fire departments. The event was canceled last year because of COVID-19 but returned to Evergreen’s Buchanan Field in style.

This year’s event featured eight booths run by first responder agencies and 33 by restaurants, businesses, groups of friends and families.

Proceeds from the event are split evenly among the Elk Creek, Evergreen, Indian Hills, Inter-Canyon, North Fork and Platte Canyon fire departments. They typically use the funds, which has been as much as $7,000 each, to buy much-needed equipment.

Big Chili organizer Lora Knowlton, bottom center, poses for a picture on Sept. 11 with representatives from the Elk Creek, Evergreen, Indian Hills, Inter-Canyon, North Fork and Platte Canyon fire departments. The six departments receive funds from the anPHOTOS BY CORINNE WESTEMAN nual event, which they use to purchase much-needed equipment.

Evergreen Fire/Rescue Assistant Chief Stacee Martin and Marc Rosenberg, Indian Hills’ deputy chief, said their departments could use this year’s revenues to buy wildland firefighting resources. Meanwhile, Elk Creek’s Logistics Chief Scott Aaronson said his department might use some of it for recruiting and training.

John Gleason, Platte Canyon’s

volunteer assistant chief, said Big Chili was sorely missed last year, as it always helps out the local departments tremendously. For fire departments in the rural area, budgets are tough, he explained.

Beyond the proceeds, the event is also important community-building.

It’s a rare opportunity for firefighters to see each other outside of an emergency, and for firefighters to see their community members as well, Gleason explained.

“This event, for us is a highlight of the activities that we do,” he said, adding that Bailey Day is the other one. “… It’s family. We want to keep that close-knit community thing going.”

Rosenberg said he’s attended Big Chili 18 years, saying he missed one while he was in Wisconsin and then last year’s was canceled. He’s seen the event grow from its spot by Evergreen Lake and turn into one of the community’s biggest events of the year.

“It doesn’t get any better (than Big Chili),” he said. “If we did this event every weekend, that’d be fine with me.”

on the somber elements of the day, including their 343 brothers and sisters who died on Sept. 11, 2001.

Rosenberg described how firefighters have something akin to tunnel vision during emergencies — their only thought is to save the people, structure or land that’s in danger.

“That’s all we think about when we go on calls,” he said. “… I feel sorry for everyone that lost their lives and got sick afterwards. But if it happens again, they’d do it all over again. That’s what’s bred into firefighters.”

Rosenberg and Martin said that any of the local firefighters would’ve done the same as their colleagues did on 9/11 because, no matter the call, time of day or weather, firefighters go where they’re needed.

“I know that these guys would do it; we’re here for each other,” Martin said, adding that mutual aid is critical among local agencies.

Gleason described how Elk Creek firefighters saved his house during 2000’s Hi Meadow Fire, which inspired him to join Platte Canyon.

“I wanted to give back to what they did for me,” he continued.

By 2001, Gleason was a rookie and Aaronson was in the firefighter academy, and they both recalled how much 9/11 impacted them and

their colleagues.

“It’s hard to describe the feelings that you have about those terrible losses,” Aaronson said. “… It really does hit home. But, it’s important thing to remember how it brought us together — a common purpose, being kind and doing good by their neighbors.”

Rosenberg said that he will never forget 9/11, and just as local firefighting agencies will keep going, he hopes that Big Chili keeps going, too.

“It was a horrific tragedy that happened, but yet the country united so much after that,” he continued. “I think that’s what this event does. It unites the public with the firefighters and the firefighters with each other.”

Ava Schubert pours chili at the Chair of the Board Chili booth on Sept. 11 at the Big Chili Cook-Off. Schubert was helping her grandpa Stephen Farland make the chili, just as her mom had helped him in 2003 and 2004, making for three generations of chiliPHOTOS BY CORINNE WESTEMAN makers.

The Rotary Club of Golden recognizes

BGOLDN as a significant contributor to the quality of life in our community. Working with its partners and volunteers, BGOLDN addresses food insecurity in the Golden area.

John Gleason, volunteer assistant chief of Platte Canyon Fire Department, stands next to the department’s state-of-the-art firetruck on Sept. 11 at the Big Chili CookOff. Gleason said his department wanted to bring the truck, which it started using last month, to show its constituents “what $1 million looks like when it comes to firefighting apparatus.”

While the Golden Backpack Program paved the way for distributing food and meals to Golden school children and families, BGOLDN expanded this mission to include providing assistance to all those in our area facing difficulties in obtaining healthy food.

Of particular note, BGOLDN organized a food distribution program shortly after the outbreak of COVID locally. Anyone in need could receive food purchased by BGOLDN at cost from thirteen Golden-area restaurants, most of which were suffering from a serious fall-off in business due to the pandemic.

As part of its Ethics in Business Awards program in 2021, each quarter Golden Rotary will select a local person or organization making significant contributions to the community and/or demonstrating high ethical standards in its business operations.

We ask that our community join us in recognizing BGOLDN for its important, ongoing and valuable contributions.

World Trade Center steel is part of new 9/11 memorial near DIA Speakers encouraged Americans to never forget the day

BY JENNIFER CASTOR ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

On a small field just behind the garage doors at Denver Fire Department’s House 35 on E. 75th Avenue sits a mangled piece of steel. Recovered from the World Trade Center, the worn piece of metal represents incredible loss.

VIDEO ONLINE For a Rocky Mountain PBS video of the dedication ceremony, visit tinyurl.com/ RMPBS911memorial after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, this is now a permanent location for reflection of the emotions from that tragic day.

“9/11 are numbers that are forever seared into our consciousness. We hear that combination of numbers and are instantly transported back to that day. We recall where we were, who we were with, what we were doing. And that abrupt interruption,” said Mary Dulacki, the chief deputy executive director for Denver’s Department of Safety.

On Sept. 10, the eve of the 20th anniversary of the attacks of Sept.

11, Denver International Airport, the Denver Fire Department, the Denver Police Department and the Denver Department of Public Safety dedicated a 9/11 memorial to honor the fallen civilians and first responders.

“On this infamous day, four separate planes were hijacked and intentionally crashed — one into the Pentagon, one into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and two into the World Trade Center, killing nearly 3,000 innocent people on one of the worst days in our history,” said Denver Fire Chief Desmond Fulton.

Standing in front of the memorial, DIA’s CEO, Phil Washington,

brought focus to the heroes from that day.

“It changed not just the aviation industry forever, but it changed this country forever. On that horrific day 20 years ago we saw the heroic efforts from emergency responders: police, fire, paramedics. We also saw such effort from airline employees, passengers and so many others,” Washington said.

The piece of steel was donated by the Counterterrorism Education Learning Lab (CELL), a nonprofit organization dedicated to the prevention of terrorism through education, empowerment and engagement.

The ceremony included a moment of silence, a solemn song led by the sound of bagpipes and the laying of two wreaths. It also paid honor to

lives lost in the years since 9/11.

“Over the last 20 years, the United States as lost an additional 7,072 people fighting evil that visited New York on that Tuesday morning. This includes the 13 lives that were lost in Kabul just a few weeks ago, rescuing Americans and those fleeing Afghanistan,” said Denver Police Department Commander Mark Chuck.

Many speakers encouraged Americans to never forget the significance of this day – but also to keep looking forward with a commitment to improved safety and performance of first responders.

“In honor of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice and those who responded to the unthinkable 20 years ago, let us remember the spirit of resilience that we exhibited so brilliantly after that unimaginative tragedy,” added Dulacki. “Let us unite again to address what often appear as insurmountable challenges, but which we know we can handle.”

It is a long way from home — nearly 1,800 miles — but this piece of steel has found purpose in the heart of Colorado, forever a reminder of a nation’s pain, gratitude, and resilience.

Love for public lands is at heart of business Englewood-based Travel Posters captures experience of journeys

BY RACHEL LORENZ SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Blair Hamill was looking for a way to make a living as an artist — for something that would unite his love of this country’s public lands with his talent as a landscape painter and his experience as a graphic artist.

“What could I come up with that would become a more marketable form of my artwork? That could sustain us as a business?” Hamill said he asked himself.

Travel Posters was the answer.

Hamill creates images that capture “the American travel experience” for posters, coffee mugs and coasters. The outdoor scenes have strong lines, distinctive shapes and a graphic feel. He draws on his former career as graphic designer, his time as a fine art oil painter and on a love of the natural world that extends back to his childhood.

Hamill moved the business he co-owns with Lauri Hamill, his wife, to Englewood in 2019 after posters overran the basement and garage of their home near Littleton.

“This is a neat little neighborhood down in here,” Lauri Hamill said, referring to the engineering firms, landscape design companies, auto repair shops and “cool, creative

businesses” that make up the area around their studio and warehouse space at 3638 S. Jason St. Plus the proximity to Santa Fe and Hampden make deliveries and pickups a breeze, she said.

The former teacher began working at the business full time in 2019 after retiring early. At Travel Posters, she’s the organized counterpoint to her creative husband.

“We work really well together,” Lauri Hamill said. “Yin and yang.”

Like her husband, Hamill loves to hike, camp, snowshoe — anything that gets her outdoors.

The couple’s travels inspire the business’s designs. This spring, the twosome went to Canyonlands National Park in Utah. Last fall, they explored New England. And now, majestic Candlestick Tower and colorful West Quoddy Head Lighthouse are among Travel Posters’ extensive catalog of illustrations.

With the help of two employees, the Hamills sell their products through their online store and at fairs and festivals. Customers range from individuals to small businesses like General Store 45 in Littleton to national parks in Colorado and beyond.

The pandemic, however, disrupted their business last year. The Hamills did only two art shows in 2020 compared to the 42 they worked the previous year.

Yet people flocked to the country’s natural places in record numbers last summer and orders from national parks eventually came in.

Blair Hamill reaches for a coaster in the Travel Posters warehouse in Englewood on PHOTOS BY RACHEL LORENZ/SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA Sept. 8.

After all, the Hamills aren’t the only ones that love the outdoors.

“Even though our show business and festivals basically stalled, we really made inroads with online and with our public lands accounts,” Blair Hamill said.

Enthusiasm for the outdoors, and for products that commemorate people’s time there, has persisted.

Business for Travel Posters in 2021 is already better than it was in 2019,

according to the couple.

Hamill understands that travel sparks memories and emotion. He’s done about 250 designs for Travel Posters so far — and whether it’s a cityscape, a mountainside or a natural wonder, he has a story to go with each one.

Travel Posters is open by appointment only, but their line of products can be seen anytime by going to travelposters.com.

Street murals beautify Olde Town

Three artists complete murals in advance of Jackalope Festival

p L c a t k s d u a l e r

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Three artists worked to install murals on the streets of Olde Town Arvada beginning on Sept. 9, completing the murals by Sept. 15 in advance of the upcoming Jackalope Denver arts festival slated for Sept. 18 and 19.

Volunteers primed the streets on Sept. 8 and artists Chelsea Hart, Talia Parsell Swartz and Kailey Geary began on their murals the next day.

While the installation of the murals was timed to coincide with the Jackalope festival, Olde Town Business Improvement Director Joe Hengstler said that the goal is to keep the murals as party of the Olde Town landscape for the foreseeable future.

“Our goal is to have the murals as long as we possibly can,” said Hengstler, “understanding that when you install them on streets, there’s definitely some challenges in maintaining them and keeping them long-term, whether that be people walking over them or elements in the winter. We do want to make sure these are a semi-permanent feature of Olde Town.”

The three artists were chosen

felt their proposals would fit the project best, according to Hengstler.

Hart, a Denver-based artist, said she’s done murals for the past five years and really got into them last summer because of the COVID-19 pandemic forcing people outside.

She said she hopes her abstract, colorful mural brightens the Olde Town community.

“I just think public art adds positivity to the community,” said Hart.

“There are so many good aspects when creating public art and putting it into a community. I’m happy to be a part of that positive change.

I hope it brightens someone’s day.”

Parsell Swartz said that she hoped her mural would reflect the area’s mountain views and layered landscape.

“The piece starts down in the layers of the earth, soil, and then transitions up to the grasslands and

river and mountains and continues up to the sky,” said Parsell Swartz.

“I’m doing a really long vertical piece on Olde Wadsworth and the w idea behind it was that I wanted to d reflect Arvada’s layers landscape and also represent the connected- o ness that humans long for.”

Hengstler said that in conjunction with other art projects recently implemented by the city, including the Gateway project, the murals are part of a concerted effort to improve Arvada’s arts and culture footprint.

“I think this really solidifies our public art as far as art and culture goes,” said Hengstler. “I think it’s a really positive direction to be headed in.”

The Jackalope festival will be held in Olde Town Arvada on Sept.

18 and 19 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

participated in the “Teachers and Learning Conditions Survey” were concerned about student learning and socio-emotional impacts of the pandemic but reported they knew how to access mental-health supports for both staff and students. Family engagement continued to decline, although students and families attending in-person learning showed higher levels of engagement than those who did remote-learning.

Eaton said the pandemic affected schools and districts unevenly, pointing to measurable differences in start of school delays, proportion of remote learners, and number of quarantine days different schools faced.

“We’re so used to being able to look at our standardized data and thinking we can look at all districts — we can compare,” she said. “But it’s very challenging (this year) because we don’t understand all of the impacts of the pandemic considerations as well as the participation problems that we may be

seeing across schools and districts.

So, that makes it very challenging to use our data the way we have in prior years.”

The Colorado Department of Education says that a test participation rate of 85% is likely good enough to give a test score results that are truly representative of a district or a school. However, in 2020-21 very few districts (including Jeffco) met that threshold.

Half of last year’s CMAS tests were not administered due to a federal waiver.

Overall, Jeffco bested state averages for CMAS participation, with 81% district participation. However, participation rates varied widely between schools in the district. For example, one Jeffco elementary school had 100% participation in grade 3 English language arts testing, while another had only 7% participation. Forty-eight Jeffco schools were beneath the 81% district-wide testing participation level.

On the sort-of bright side, Jeffco test scores for 2020 met or exceeded state levels for every category. But the district shows an overall decline in historic (2017-2019) growth for CMAS and English Language

Arts (ELA) results, compared to the state benchmark.

Jeffco’s total mean PSAT and SAT scores are slightly higher than the Colorado total mean. But board member Rick Rush said comparisons to the state’s low achievement bar weren’t good enough for Jeffco.

Rush called out district administration saying he was a board member 10 or 12 years ago and hasn’t seen needed academic improvement take hold.

“I think it starts with accountability of the board members and the superintendent we hire. And I think that it rolls on down from there,” he said.

“And I’m concerned that we haven’t held ourselves and district staff as accountable as I’d like to see, for these kinds of results.”

Rush called the district’s prepandemic academic slide unacceptable.

Jeffco Schools Superintendent, Tracy Dorland, said with what she’s seen so far, this year, there’s no reason Jeffco can’t be among the top school districts in the country.

You can learn more about Jeffco’s various assessment tests by going to www.jeffcopublicschools.org and clicking on academics.

Williams said the Friends of Dinosaur Ridge paid for both projects out of its budget, “We love that there are local art-

ists who feature dinosaurs in their work — it just feels like a great fit with our vision of providing a place that not only educates visitors but sparks wonder and imagination,” Williams said.

Dinosaur Ridge is also hoping to do more fun dinosaur art projects soon, she said.

Remarkable rally by Chatfield on the diamond

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LITTLETON — The situation looked pretty bleak for Chatfield’s softball team heading into the bottom of the fifth inning Sept. 7.

Cherokee Trail had just batted around in the top of the fifth inning to score 6 runs and take a commanding 12-4 lead in the nonleague battle between two solid squads that are just outside the top10 of the newest CHSAANow.com Class 5A softball rankings.

However, after the dust settled and the sun began to set behind the foothills Chatfield rallied for a remarkable 15-13 victory in the game that lasted 2 hours and 40 minutes.

“I’ve never been involved in a game like this,” Chatfield coach Jen Lazzeri. “In the fourth inning I was thinking about all the things I was going to say to them. ‘Where has my team gone?’ I can’t find our bats. We’ve been struggling and in a funk.”

The Chargers (10-4 record) showed up in the bottom of the fifth inning. Freshman Kendall Holloway reached on a throwing error to start the marathon inning that had Chatfield send 13 batters

LAKEWOOD — Columbine sophomore Matai Naqica had a round that every golf dreams of … bogey-free.

Naqica shot a 4-underpar, 61 on the short championship course at Homestead Golf Course on Wednesday. The junior had one birdie on his opening nine and finished his round with three birdie playing Homestead’s front-nine.

Lakewood senior Max Lange, who was 4-underpar through his first 10 holes, finished 2nd in the individual standings with a 62 at the Class 5A Jeffco League tournament. Arvada West’s sophomore Shaun Miller, juniors Yusuke Ogi and Luke Landskov, along with Lakewood senior Jace Wright all finished in a tie for 3rd with rounds of 1-under-par, 64.

Westminster’s Hatz returns from Paralympics with three top-10 finishes

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Beatriz Hatz finished the busy part of her summer in a foreign land.

The Westminster resident was among the athletes who participated in the Paralympic Games in Tokyo. She took sixth in the 100-meter dash, sixth in the 200-meters and fifth in the long jump.

“I definitely would’ve loved to have been on that podium,” she said. “But at the same time, these are my first games, and I can’t be too disappointed in my results.”

Thanks to COVID-19 and its restrictions, Hatz and the other athletes were not able to support other USA teams – “just our own.”

“We were not able to leave the village so we didn’t get to experience Japan as much as we would like,” Hatz said. “But the volunteers really made the experience amazing. We weren’t able to leave the village other than to go to the stadium.

“The volunteers were always very happy,

extremely helpful and sweet,” she added.

“Whenever we would go drop off our laundry, they would give us origami cranes that they made. They also were very nice when I tried to speak to them in Japanese. They would help me out and teach me new words.”

Hatz didn’t hang out with other athletes from other countries either.

“I did not want to risk getting COVID during competition,” she said. “I stayed with my friends from the track and field team for USA.” Hatz graduated from D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School in 2019. She was born without a fibula in her right leg. Doctors amputated the leg below the knee. Her training is underway for the next Paralympics.

“Thank you to everyone in Japan who made my first Paralympic experience one to remember,” Hatz said. “I’ve got some work to do, but it shows me where I stand in the world.

“And I’ve got three years till the next games.”

‘I did not want to risk getting COVID during competition. I stayed with my friends from the track and field team for USA.’ Beatriz Hatz Beatriz Hatz

to the plate, crank out 8 hits and plate 9 runs to take a 13-12 lead heading to the sixth inning.

“We tried to stay calm and not think about things too much,” Chatfield freshman Lexi Balfanz said about her approach during the 9-run fifth inning for the Chargers.

“I didn’t want things to get into my head. That never works out very well for me.”

Senior Dakota Dipaola tripled to drive in two runs to cut Cherokee Trail’s lead to 12-9. Sophomore Aubrey Henshaw drove in Dipaola to make it a 2-run game. Balfanz then had her biggest hit of her young high school career with a 2-run home run to tie the game at 12-12.

“They did it themselves,” Lazzeri said of the incredible rally. “They kind of sparked off each other.”

Junior Brooklyn Levin gave the Chargers their first lead of the game with an RBI single that scored Holloway to close out the 9-run inning.

Henshaw and Balfanz both delivered again in the top of the sixth inning with RBI hits. Balfanz nearly left the yard again with a line drive that hit the base of the fence in left-center field for an eventual double to give Chatfield a 3-run cushion heading to the final inning.

“We have got to remember this,” Lazzeri said of the 15-hit attack.

“We need to use this as momentum

for the next three games before we start league. We finally got the bats going.”

It was a roller coast ride for Levin who started in the circle for Chatfield. She was actually lifted from the mound to start the third inning with the Chargers trailing 4-1. Holloway and senior Abby Washco both pitched in relief before Lazzeri put Levin back in to pitch in the middle of the top of the fifth inning.

“It wasn’t my best day. It was rough. After I got pulled I was very frustrated with myself,” Levin admitted who gave up 4 runs on 5 hits in the first two innings. “When I got put back in I knew I had to focus. My teammates had my back, so I needed to have their’s.”

Levin said she was surprised when Lazzeri put her back in the circle no outs in the fifth inning.

Cherokee Trail scored four runs off her in the inning, but the junior retired the Cougars in order in the top of the sixth inning and gave up just a run in the seventh inning to close out the game.

“She (Levin) was a resilient kid for sure,” Lazzeri said.

Cherokee Trail’s offense finished with 16 hits, plating 13 runs.

The Cougars’ first four hitters — Ryleigh Cruz, Brooke Scott, Addison Krei and Caitlin Cushenbery — combined for 11 hits and 7 RBIs in the loss.

Centennial Park lures with fishing, sunsets

BY RACHEL LORENZ SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Jayla Aiken, 13, and Jayce Aiken, 16, fish at Centennial Park in Englewood on Sept. 1.

PHOTO BY RACHEL LORENZ/

With summer and the day nearing their end, Centennial Park in Englewood hummed with activity.

A teenager shot hoops, men warmed up their arms near the baseball diamond and cyclists curled over their handlebars at the recreational space off of Union and Decatur.

The cement path around the lake bustled with dogs and their humans out for a little exercise.

And as the hazy summer day meandered toward a cloudy night Sept. 1, the fishing poles came out.

Jayce Aiken, 16, and his sister Jayla Aiken of Littleton snagged a few bluegills. They’ve just picked up fishing, their mother said.

Jaedyn Wright, 4, and his parents caught some sunfish. Eva Nevarrez and Zach Wright, who grew up in the area, bring Jaedyn to the park on a regular basis.

“They always bite over here,” Wright said from a spot near the foot bridge. He’s a fan of the fishing.

However, with twilight settling over the park, Nevarrez recommended the sunsets.

State had no fatal crashes over Labor Day weekend, CDOT reports STAFF REPORT

Colorado normally sees several highway deaths over the long Labor Day weekend each year, but not this year, the Colorado Department of Transportation reports.

According to preliminary CDOT data released Sept. 9, the state

avoided any fatal crashes this year over the final holiday weekend of the summer.

“This marks the first time in recent history that no deaths occurred on state roads over Labor Day weekend,” a CDOT release said.

That’s despite the fact that Labor

Day weekend is usually one of the deadliest holiday periods of the year on Colorado roads. Over the last 15 years, Labor Day weekend road fatalities have ranged from three in 2022 to 16 in 2016, CDOT said.

Overall, there were 412 traffic fatalities on Colorado roads at the

time of CDOT’s Sept. 9 report, a 6% decrease from this time last year. Of those, 153 were related to impaired driving, the Colorado State Patrol reported.

For 15 years of CDOT statistics on fatal holiday crashes across Colorado, go online to tinyurl. com/HolidayFatalCrashes.

Water Exchange Project: Since the point of depletion associated with Neal Well No. 1 is upstream of the augmentation supplies, Applicants assert an exchange project right pursuant to Sections 37-92-103(9), 37-92-302(1)(a), 37-92-302(5), 37-92-305(3), 37-92-305(5), and 37-92-305(8)(a), C.R.S. The point of depletion to Turkey Creek that is associated with water usage from the Neal Well No. 1 is within the exchange reach described in the decrees entered in Case Nos. 94CW290 and 01CW293. Therefore, no separate priority is required for the operation of this augmentation plan regarding such depletion that occur within the reach described in those cases. However, since depletions will also impact an unnamed tributary of Parmalee Gulch, tributary to Turkey Creek that is located in the NE1/4 SW1/4, Section 7, Township 5 South, Range 70 West, the reach of said new exchange project right shall extend from the confluence of Turkey Creek and Parmalee Gulch in the NW1/4 SE1/4, Section 16, up Parmalee Gulch to the confluence with an unnamed tributary in the SE1/4 NE1/4, Section 7, thence up the unnamed tributary to the point of depletion in the NE1/4 SW1/4 Section 7, all in Township 5 South, Range 69 West, 6th P.M. In the event there is a senior call between the source of the water and the point of depletion that precludes the exchange, the Applicants can have replacement water delivered via trucking to a point above the calling right or release water from an onsite container. The exchange project right will operate to replace depletions to the flow of water in the stream system as the depletions occur. The water exchange project right will be operated and administered with a priority date of August 30, 2021, at a maximum flow rate of 0.001 of a cubic foot per second and a maximum depletion in all reaches of 0.02 of a gallon per minute. 7. Administration of Plan: Appropriate accounting forms will be established for reporting usage and determining required releases to be made pursuant to this augmentation plan throughout each year. 8. Names and address of owners or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool: The Co-Applicants, the Neals. WHEREFORE, Applicants request the entry of a decree approving this application, specifically (1) granting the appropriation sought in this application, (2) authorizing use of the augmentation supplies described in this application, (3) determining that the source and location of delivery of augmentation water are sufficient to prevent material injury to vested water rights. The Applicants also request entry of an Order directing the State Engineer to issue well permits for the construction and use of, or any replacement well permits required, for the Neal Well No. 1 consistent with the final decree entered in this case.

Public Notices diversions by exchange, unless the Division Engineer requires that the water be made available at another time in order to account for travel time to avoid injury, Westminster will introduce an amount of substitute supply equal to the amount of its diversions by exchange, as adjusted for river transit losses, if any. The Division Engineer may take travel times into account and require that the substitute supply reach a certain point at the same time as the effect from the diversion by exchange also reaches that point. In addition, this exchange may be operated within the Lower Clear Creek Ditch system (to the extent the exchange is facilitated by a bookover to the City of Thornton’s storage account in West Gravel Lakes or pumped from the West Gravel Lakes into the Lower Clear Creek Ditch itself), thence upstream on Clear Creek and its tributaries to the points of diversion identified above, the furthest upstream of which is the headgate of the Church Ditch located as described in paragraph 2.L. Substitution at the Lower Clear Creek Ditch, will occur through either of the following two methods: a. water in the West Gravel Lakes owned by Westminster may be removed from Westminster’s account and placed in Thornton’s account in place of Clear Creek water which would otherwise be diverted for Thornton’s shares in the Lower Clear Creek Ditch (“Bookover Exchange”); or b. water from West Gravel Lakes may be pumped into the Lower Clear Creek Ditch, at a point located in the N1/2 of Section 25, Township 2 South, Range 68 West of the 6th P. M., Adams County, Colorado, in place of Clear Creek water which would otherwise be diverted for shareholders other than Thornton (“Ditch Exchange”). Either method may satisfy a portion of the demand of the Lower Clear Creek Ditch and in turn may cause the reduction of its diversions from Clear Creek. To the extent such diversions are reduced, an equal amount of water may then be diverted by exchange at the exchange diver-

sion points. The Ditch Exchange in the Lower Clear Creek Ditch involving shares not owned by Thornton shall not operate to burden or otherwise limit future changes in use of water rights of such shares. Nothing in this decree shall require the Lower Clear Creek Ditch Company, or its shareholders who are not subject to a separate agreement, to take delivery, or call for delivery of their water entitlement below the exchange point of discharge to the Lower Clear Creek Ditch. The need for water and the beneficial use of water by Lower Clear Creek Ditch Company shareholders below the discharge point shall be exclusively determined by the Company and its stockholders served thereby. The Ditch Exchange shall be operated in a manner which ensures that all Lower Clear Creek Ditch shareholders, including shareholders who take delivery of their share water up-ditch of the point of discharge to the Lower Clear Creek Ditch, shall receive the same amount of water as they would receive in the absence of the operation of the Ditch Exchange.

The terms and conditions under which the Bear Creek/ Turkey Creek water rights are used for augmentation and replacement purposes are set forth in the decrees in Case Nos. 01CW293 and 94CW290, and are deemed to be res judicata in future proceedings involving such rights, pursuant to Williams v. Midway Ranches, 938 P.2d 515 (Colo. 1997). Reference is made to the decrees in Case Nos. 01CW293 and 94CW290 for more detailed information. c. Terms from Case No. 19CW3154.

Public Notices outside consultant expenses. F. During the diligence period, Westminster continued to operate under the carriage agreement with the Farmers’ High Line Canal and Reservoir Company for the use of excess capacity in the Farmers’ High Line Canal. This agreement allows Westminster to carry additional water through the Farmers’ High Line Canal, including water exchanged to the Farmers’ High Line Canal in accordance with the decree in Case No. 99CW207. Westminster is contractually obligated to pay an annual fee for use of the Farmers’ High Line Canal. Westminster has continually made these payments during the diligence period. G. During the diligence period, Westminster has also paid funds in the form of ditch assessments to the Church Ditch Water Authority, the Farmers’ High Line Canal and Reservoir Company, FRICO, the Manhart Ditch Company and the Kershaw Ditch Company. Said funds have been used, in part, to maintain the ditches necessary for operation of the conditional exchanges. H. As set forth in paragraph 29 of the decree in Case No. 14CW3117, the conditional exchanges decreed in Case No. 99CW207 are part of Westminster’s Clear Creek Water Supply System, an integrated system under § 37-92301(4)(b), C.R.S. During the diligence period, Westminster has continued the development of its Clear Creek Water Supply System. Activities have included, among other things: acquisition of additional interests in water on Clear Creek and its tributaries and the South Platte River; prosecuting Water Court applications to incorporate said interests into the City’s Water Supply System; exercising conditional exchanges and making portions absolute or obtaining diligence decrees on the remaining conditional portions; operation of an aeration system related to Jim Baker Reservoir; negotiation of bypass agreement for Lower Clear Creek/Colorado Agricultural Ditch; and, participation in numerous Water Court cases for purposes of protecting, maintaining and developing Westminster’s Water Supply System. Expenses associated with these activities were in-

curred during the diligence period. I. During the diligence period, Westminster has participated in a number of water court proceedings in an effort, in part, to protect and maintain return flows to Big Dry Creek and the Clear Creek and South Platte River basins. Costs associated with these efforts were incurred during the diligence period. 5.

Water applied to beneficial use: N/A. 6. Name(s) and address(es) of owner(s) or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool: The BDCWWTP, and the relevant BDCWWTP outfall, is owned by Westminster and located on City lands. There is no need to modify said structure in order to accomplish the conditional exchanges.

As noted above, Wattenberg Lake is still under construction. The lands on which it will be located are owned by Westminster. The mineral interests, including gravel deposits, located on said lands are owned by Aggregate Industries – WCR, Inc. Pursuant to an agreement with AI, the lined storage created by mining the gravel deposits will be owned by Westminster. By separate agreement, Westminster has conveyed a portion of the storage volumes in the resulting lined storage to South Adams County Water & Sanitation District. The lands on which the Wattenberg Well Field will be located are also owned by Westminster. On information and belief, the lands on which the Wattenberg Pipeline diversion point will be located are owned by: City of Thornton, 9500 Civic Center Drive, Thornton, Colorado 80229-4326. Upon completion of construction, Wattenberg Lake may also be filled by the Brighton Ditch and/or the Brantner Ditch, both existing ditches. Westminster has a carriage agreement with the Brighton Ditch.

Westminster does not currently have a carriage agreement with the Brantner Ditch. Consistent with the decree in Case No. 99CW207, this application and any resulting decree does not seek to establish a carriage right in the Brantner Ditch.

Any such carriage right shall be by separate agreement. West Gravel Lakes is an existing structure located on lands owned by the City of Thornton. Westminster owns storage space in the West Gravel Lakes. There is no need to modify West Gravel Lakes, or its outfall, to accomplish the conditional exchanges. Jim Baker Reservoir is an existing structure owned by Westminster and located on lands owned by the City. There is no need to modify Jim Baker Reservoir, or its outfall, to accomplish the conditional exchanges. All structures associated with the conditional exchanges diverting from Clear Creek are existing, not new structures. In addition, the Manhart Ditch headgate diverts from Ralston Creek and is an existing, not a new, structure. There is no need to modify these structures in order to accomplish the conditional exchanges. Westminster holds carriage rights in each of the existing ditches diverting from Clear Creek identified in this application and the Manhart Ditch diverting from Ralston Creek. On information and belief, a new or modified diversion structure diverting from Ralston Creek into the Croke Canal may be located on lands owned by: Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company, 80 South 27th Avenue, Brighton, Colorado 80601; City of Arvada, 8101 Ralston Road, Arvada, Colorado 80002. On information and belief, a new or modified diversion structure diverting water from Van Bibber Creek into the Farmers’ High Line Canal may be located on lands owned by: Farmers’ High Line Canal and Reservoir Company, 8399 W 89th Avenue, Westminster, Colorado 80021; Jefferson County, 100 Jefferson County Parkway, Golden, Colorado 80419. In Case No. 14CW3117, Westminster did not seek diligence as to the “exchange to” point on Leyden Creek at the Croke Canal. As a result, the Leyden Creek diversion point was abandoned as an “exchange to” point under the decree in Case No. 99CW207. That determination applied solely to the diversion point adjudicated for exchange purposes in Case No. 99CW207, and no other decree or water right. Additional notice by certified

Applicant or Applicant’s Attorney and an affidavit or certificate of such service of mailing shall be filed with the Water Clerk.

or registered mail, as set forth in § 37-92-302(2) (b), C.R.S., will be provided to the entities identified above for the Wattenberg Pipeline diversion point, the Ralston Creek diversion point to the Croke Canal and the Van Bibber Creek diversion point to the Farmers’ High Line Canal. The remaining structures involved with the conditional exchanges are all existing, not new, diversion or storage structures and no additional notice beyond the notice provided by newspaper publication and the water court resume is required. WHEREFORE, Westminster requests the Court to enter its decree and ruling as follows: 1. To make a finding of reasonable diligence as to the entirety of the remaining conditional exchanges originally adjudicated in Case No. 99CW207 and providing that a subsequent showing of diligence be made six years from the date of entry of a decree of diligence in this matter; and, 2. Any other ruling the Court deems appropriate in the above-captioned matter

Description of conditional water rights and rates of diversion: The original decree approved several conditional water rights. The Court previously decreed absolute Arvada’s Clear Creek Exchange, Ralston Creek Exchange I, Ralston Creek Exchange II, Ralston Creek to Clear Creek Exchange, and Clear Creek to Ralston Creek Exchange, and decreed as partially absolute Arvada’s Metropolitan Denver Waste Water Treatment Plant Exchange. The following decreed exchanges remain conditional or partially conditional and are the subject of this application. i.

Metropolitan Denver Waste Water Treatment Plant Exchange to Clear Creek or Ralston Creek.

Treated sewage effluent from the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District Treatment Plant (f/k/a Metropolitan Denver Waste Water Treatment Plant) for which Arvada is entitled to claim credit pursuant to the decree in Case No. 88CW105, and which effluent is in excess of return flow obligations due at the outfall of the treatment plant, may be released at the plant outfall and an equal amount of water may be diverted either at the headgate of the Croke Canal on Clear Creek or at Arvada Reservoir on Ralston Creek. The cumulative rate of flow for this exchange, together with the like treatment plant exchanges described in the decrees in Case Nos. W-8762-77, 82CW359, 85CW409, and 85CW410, is 12 cfs.

5.65 cfs of the exchange to Clear Creek (headgate of Croke Canal) was decreed absolute, leaving 6.35 cfs conditional. The exchange to Ralston Creek (Arvada Reservoir) was previously decreed absolute in the amount of 6.05 cfs, leaving 5.95 cfs conditional. ii.Ward Road Pond to Arvada Reservoir Exchange. Applicant sold Ward Road Pond and no longer intends to complete this conditional appropriation. D.

During this diligence period, in continuing the development of the conditional water rights, Applicant has been diligent in the continued use and development of the water rights involved.

The conditional water rights are components of Applicant’s integrated water supply system which provides water service to single family dwellings at properties described in this application. Work completed on any part of the unified system is considered to be diligence for these conditional water rights. These activities performed by Applicant, including expenditures for legal, consulting, construction and maintenance work, include, but are not limited to, the following: Water has been released from the Sprucedale Reservoir pursuant to the Case No. 07CW123 augmentation plan to replace stream depletions associated with water usage under the augmentation plan. The developer of 60 lots in the Cragmont Subdivision designed and is currently constructing 4,500 feet of main water line with fire hydrants and pressure reducing vaults, for connection to the existing water system, at a cost in excess of $450,000. After construction, the improvements will be deeded to Applicant.

The developer in the Cragmont Subdivision sold an additional 11 lots. Of those 11 lots, 6 new water taps were sold. One home was constructed and connected to the central water system, and an additional home was converted from well water to receiving water from the central water system.

Applicant made upgrades to the water treatment plant, and constructed a water transmission line from the storage tank at the water treatment plant to serve the Cragmont Subdivision at a cost of approximately $250,000. There has been an increase in the number of single-family homes served at the Subject Property, from 17 to 19 homes. Seasonal maintenance and cleaning of the Sprucedale Ditch and the Sprucedale Reservoir inlet and outlet works was performed. Water was diverted for beneficial use pursuant to the Sprucedale Infiltration Gallery No. 1 conditional water right described above. Daily diversion records are prepared, maintained and provided to Mountain Mutual Reservoir Company, and Mountain Mutual Reservoir Company prepares and provides plan for augmentation accounting to the Office of the Division Engineer. During the diligence period, legal counsel has reviewed the resume of applications as published by the Water Clerk for Water Division 1 and advised Applicant on whether Statements of Opposition need to be filed to protect the water rights. The work and expenditures listed above are illustrative and not exhaustive. Additional work and additional or revised expenditures may be claimed in support of this application. Ronald P.

A glimpse at the past

Staunton’s Living History Days shows life more than 100 years ago

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Johnnycakes, lemonade, Native American talking sticks, fur pelts and herbal medicines were all part of the annual Living History Days last weekend at Staunton State Park.

Volunteers from the park and Colorado Parks & Wildlife, some dressed in late 1800s clothing, explained to visitors on Sept. 11 what it was like to live in that time period. A treasure hunt and a hayride helped lead participants to historical cabins once lived in by Archibald and Rachael Staunton. Their 1,720-acre ranch is now Staunton State Park, and the cabins, which were built in 1918, are getting repairs thanks to a Historicorps grant.

At the visitors center, representatives of area historical societies and authors of books about the area’s history regaled people with stories of the area.

Elena Mauer and Kayley Paling, both 9, used yarn to decorate their Native American talking sticks with the help of Staunton volunteer Colleen Kindler, who recently moved to Pine and loves hiking at the park. Elena said she liked learning about the area’s history and what people in the late 1800s needed to survive in the wilderness.

They made talking sticks, explaining they learned the sticks were used by Native

American tribes in group settings, so people had a chance to talk when it was their turn to hold the stick.

Michelle Houghton, a CPW volunteer, taught visitors about feathers and fashion.

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was popular for women to wear feathers or entire birds on their hats, and more than 5 million birds died yearly to adorn women’s clothing. However, women stepped in to protect birds, leading to the Audubon Society and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.

Staunton volunteer Jen Nickerson had a fun time telling somewhat terrifying stories of how those with tuberculosis were medically treated a hundred years ago.

The Stauntons, who were doctors, had a sanitarium on their property.

The operations, which she demonstrated on a stuffed animal named Raymond the marmot, would attempt to stop the body from using the diseased lung, and she said someone with tuberculosis back then had a 50/50 chance of living.

Jaclen DeLozier, 13, and her mom Karrie, who live in Lakewood, came to Staunton State Park because it was Girl Scouts Love State Parks weekend. They didn’t know Living History Days was taking place, and they were enjoying learning about life at the turn of the 20th century.

Randie Boldra, who has been volunteering at Staunton for years, said Living History Days was important to teach younger generations about nature and the past.

“The next generation needs to know about this,” she said.
