Something to crow about 25th annual Festival of Scarecrows in Olde Town STAFF REPORT

The 25th annual Festival of Scarecrows was held in Olde Town Square on Oct. 9, ringing in the fall with a host of autumnal activities including costume parades, pumpkin and zucchini weighing contests, a cone maze and a scarecrow contest. The event is organized by the Historic Olde Town Arvada Association and doubles as a charitable event for Ralston House.

Hope, Community and Connection won the scarecrow contest with their entry `Bob,’ a nod to the late painter Bob Ross. The Poston Girls had the largest zucchini at 10.6 pounds, while Eziah Fluharty won the biggest pumpkin contest with his 67-pound entry.

Approximately 3,000 people attended the festival, which also featured local vendors and representatives from community groups such as the Arvada Gardeners club.

Chad Broer, Principal at Chatfield High School for the past 6 years, resigned from his position Oct. 4 amid an investigation into him and the school’s Athletic Director for failing to follow district safety protocols.

Broer and Craig Aukland, Athletic Director, were placed on administrative leave in August when the allegations first came to light. According to Jeffco Schools Spokesperson, Cameron Bell, Aukand resigned his position last week. A letter to parents sent by Dan Cohan, Chief of Schools and Scott Allensworth, Community Superintendent, Oct. 7, said retired Jeffco administrator, Keith Mead, will serve as Interim Athetic Director through the end of the current semester.

Because the case involves minors, no specific details about the incident have been released.

Aukland, who had been with the district since 2006, has been charged with a misdemeanor count of failure to report child abuse or neglect. State law requires someone in that position to report any suspected abuse or neglect.

Jeffco Sheriff’s Department spokesperson, Karlyn Tilley, said the incident Aukland is being charged in connection with, involved allegations of sexual misconduct (but not allegations of sexual misconduct against Aukland).

Broer, who had been with the district since 2003, is not facing criminal investigation.

Former Chatfield Principal, Jim Ellis, was brought back to serve as interim principal during the investigation. He will remain in that position until a replacement can be found.

Ellis served as principal at Chatfield High School from 1999-2004.

Aukland is due to appear in Jefferson County Court Oct. 29.

Virtual racing series runs a thin line between heaven and hell Golden Hell Week runners’ challenge finished Oct. 1

BY JEREMY JOHNSON SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Hell is a relative term.

Removing it entirely from any theological context, it generally indicates pain, misery, even anguish.

But on the other hand, it’s sort of a fun word too — mischievous and devious in just the right way. You give it to someone to show you’re ready to fight for your convictions. And nobody ever says, “I had a heaven of a good time” after a particularly raucous event.

After all, one person’s hell can be another person’s heaven. And one’s own personal hell can become downright heavenly after accepting the benefits of a little pain and misery.

That’s how it is for runners. We love this stuff. We live for a little pain and misery. My (very supportive) family thinks I’m nuts. Nonrunning friends think I’m sadistic.

Maybe I’m a little bit of both. But after decades of torturing my body with drugs and alcohol, trail running seems like a better kind of suffering, an addiction with more rewarding consequences.

Running addicts look for reasons to run, and when social media algorithms and a little online word of mouth clued me in on the Golden Hell Week underground “race series,” I couldn’t resist dancing with the devil that is those steep, winding, rocky trails all throughout the beautiful City of Golden.

Now’s a good time to mention that I’m a freelance writer and trail enthusiast with no affiliation to Golden Hell Week. See that’s the thing: nobody’s really affiliated with Golden Hell Week because, according to them, it’s barely even really a thing. It’s like Fight Club, in that everybody seems to know about it, but nobody seems to talk about it much —at least in an official sense. According to the website (GoldenHellWeek.com): “The event is free! Primarily because, in reality, it isn’t an event, a race or really anything but a cool place to post your Strava link.”

That’s the first thing to know

Follow Golden Hell Week on Instagram (@goldenhellweek) or visit www.GoldenHellWeek.com to learn more. about Hell Week (after “Don’t talk about Hell Week”): it was a virtual race long before COVID-19 made virtual races commonplace. Certainly, more socially inclined runners can run with friends. There is no rule against groups. But to the more anti-social among us (that’s me!), a journey through hell is one you go alone, with only the Strava app as your guide.

The next thing to know about Hell Week is how it got its name. Or, that is, how I think it got its name.The idea of running five races in five days certainly is a hellish thought.

But I have to believe it was called Hell Week because, well, it originally took place over Halloween.

The problem with a race series over Halloween is that the weather is unpredictable and anyone who worked 9-to-5 was forced to run in the dark. So it was for me in 2017, when I reached Mountain Toad brewery after dark on a Monday and decided to tackle the longest race at the time, Lookout Mountain, for my inaugural Hell Week run. The cold rarely bothers me, and that evening was no exception.

So, for the first two miles along Clear Creek and across Highway 6 and up to big parking lot, it was wet, but warm enough and manageable. Then, quite suddenly, just past Windy Saddle, it wasn’t. The trail turned to sheer ice. I wasn’t wearing the right gear and was dangerously unprepared. But, eventually, sometimes crawling on all fours, I reached the top — and then made my way back down, more slowly than I’ve ever come down a mountain before or since. It wasn’t fast, but I made it, which just so happens to be a Hell Week motto: “You don’t have to go fast, but you gotta give it everything!” I left it all on that mountaintop that night and learned a valuable lesson about the thin line between heaven and hell.

Since then, Hell Week has been moved to late September — Sept. 27 to Oct. 1 this year — which means (generally) better weather and a little more daylight for us runners who have to log at least a race or two after their day job.

Denver’s Jeremy Johnson navigates a tricky portion of a Golden-area trail. Injuries on COURTESY OF JEREMY JOHNSON such trails can be common.

The third thing to know about Hell Week is that it is quite the journey, both literally and figuratively. While the courses have rerouted a bit over the years to accommodate stewardship, logistics, and more local business, the trails and overall distance remain mostly the same. All five courses (Apex, Lookout Mountain, Mt. Galbraith, North Table Mountain, and South Table Mountain ) at one time started from Mountain Toad Brewery, but Hell Week now includes starting lines from Cannonball, Coda and New Terrain breweries, too.

The race series covers a distance

of just a tad more than a marathon (27-28 miles or so). It takes place from midnight on the last Monday in September until the following Friday at midnight. Five races. Five days. “Your trails, your time,” is another Hell Week motto.

This loose format ensures that no two journeys are ever the same.

Some folks run all five courses in a row ... on Day One ... like some giant ultra-marathon. Some run one a day all week long. You can mix and match: run two races on two days of the week and then cram the SEE RACING, P3

last leg in late Friday. (Again, that’s me!)

That’s another thing to know about Hell Week: there is no right or wrong way to do it. Because for all the preparedness and training in the world, trail running is full of variables. For instance, I never felt as prepared as I did last year, arriving early that Monday at the foot of Mt. Galbraith. I became frustrated shortly into my race after a wrong turn and a subsequent backtrack.

And then, with about two kilometers to go, one of Galbraith’s trademark jagged rocks turned my ankle outside-in. The resulting avulsion fracture resulted in a complete Hell Week DNF (did not finish) and SEE RACING, P25

A N.Y. Court Has Ruled That Sending an Email Can Bind You, Even Without Signing It

The real estate industry runs on electronic signatures nowadays. In our market most contracts are created and signed on CTM eContracts. Buyers and sellers can click on “Select Font Signature” and see their name appear in a script font. Then they click “Save” and click “Accept” to show that they accept that the font signature is theirs. That document is signed.

In the beginning, I was very leery of this technology, insisting that our clients use a stylus or finger to personally sign their name on a touch screen device such as a smartphone. Ultimately I relented, realizing that the closing based on those electronically signed documents does involve a “wet signature” witnessed by a Notary.

Electronic signatures became legal as a result of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) which became law in 1999. It was followed in 2000 by the E-Sign Act, which legalized electronic signatures for interstate and international transactions. The following is excerpted from www.BakerMckenzie.com: UETA provides a framework for states to enact state law concerning the enforceability of e-signatures and the validity of electronic records. Fortyseven states and the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands have adopted some form of UETA. The only states that have not adopted UETA are New York, Illinois and Washington, but each of these states has enacted legislation similar to UETA to govern how electronic transactions are handled….

UETA and the E-Sign Act provide that: (a) a record or signature may not be denied legal effect or enforceability

solely because it is in electronic form; (b) a contract may not be denied legal effect or enforceability solely because an electronic record was used in its formation; (c) if a law requires a record to be in writing, an electronic record satisfies the law; and (d) if a law requires a signature, an electronic signature satisfies the law.

It followed, as a result of this law, that electronic messages (emails) between two parties can constitute a contract if both parties have signed their emails by typing their names. The more detailed the emails (covering terms as well as price) the more likely that a court would deem them enforceable contracts.

A Sept. 28 article on Forbes.com by Joshua Stein carried the headline, Yes, Sending an Email Can Create a Binding Contract. It reported on an appellate court decision in New York State that went further to declare that typing your name on such emails was not necessary, that merely clicking “send” from your email account made the signature “an unnecessary formality.” Here are some key paragraphs from that Forbes article: This case means that pressing “send” on an email is now potentially equivalent to signing a piece of paper containing whatever statements appeared in the email. An actual typed signature is not necessary….

The moral of the story: before sending an email that could be interpreted as committing to some agreement, consider whether that’s what you really want. If not, make it clear in writing that your email isn’t intended to create any form of binding agreement.

Many standard email disclaimers say

Price Reduced on Ranch Home on E. 6th Ave. Parkway Denver has only a few iconic “parkways” — $795,000 divided streets with wide, tree-lined medians used by joggers and dog walkers. The homes along these parkways, including this one at 6235 E. Sixth Avenue Parkway, enjoy large, grassy lots and unique architecture of high quality. You'll like this brick ranch with its Spanish tile roof as is and also as it could be with some updating. It has beautifully maintained hardwood floors and an updated kitchen. The 2-car attached garage faces Leyden Street, away from the traffic of 6th Avenue Parkway. Find lots of interior and exterior photos plus a narrated video tour at www.DenverHome.info, then call your agent or listing agent Chuck Brown at 303-885-7855 to set a showing. Open house this Sunday, 11 am to 1 pm.

exactly that, automatically, on every message that goes out. Careful email senders should not rely on those disclaimers to protect them. If an email sounds like a serious and meaningful agreement to material terms, the courts just might decide that’s what it is, and enforce it accordingly.

Although that was the decision of a New York State appellate court decision, we should probably consider that Colorado courts or the U.S. Supreme Court might issue a similar opinion.

So, how does this affect buyers and sellers of real estate? If you’re represented by a real estate agent, you’re not sending emails directly to the other party

in a transaction, but if you are unrepresented and you exchange emails with a prospective buyer or investor, you could easily find yourself negotiating and agreeing to terms and price before going to the step of creating a contract with other important terms and deadlines. Be careful! At the very least when discussing price and terms with a prospective buyer or seller, always add that “this is not a contract, which still needs to be created separately and signed by both parties.”

In the posting of this column on our blog, www.GoldenREblog.com, I will have links to the above mentioned article and website.

Support Habitat for Humanity at the Pumpkin Patch at Garrison & Alameda

Every October, Jeffco Interfaith Partners raises $25,000 or more by selling pumpkins at its Lakewood Pumpkin Patch. The pumpkins are grown by a native American tribe in the Four Corners area, which gets 60% of the proceeds. That leaves 40% of the proceeds to fund the building of a Habitat home in the Denver metro area. Buying a pumpkin from this patch is a great way to support this Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver.

Jeffco Interfaith Partners operates a second pumpkin patch on Wadsworth Blvd. at 78th Avenue, previously on the grounds of the Arvada Center for the Arts one mile south. The patches operate from 10 a.m. to dusk every day. 40% of your purchase is tax deductible.

Lakewood Metro Districts under fire Council splits on whether to ban them or keep them around.

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An attempt to add a new step to the approval of any new metopolitan district was voted down during the Oct. 4, Lakewood City Council meeting, though the debate and split vote clearly indicates how contentious metro districts are among city leaders.

According to a memo prepared by city staff, O-2021-25 (CREATING CHAPTER 14.28 OF THE CITY OF LAKEWOOD, COLORADO MUNICIPAL CODE REGULATING METROPOLITAN DISTRICTS), would have required a consultant to review the financial aspects of any proposed metropolitan district. The consultant would then answer council questions and would give a recommendation as to whether to approve the new metro district’s formation.

It would also have obligated petitioners seeking to create a new metropolitan district to pay the costs of the consultant as selected

THE VOTE Voting no: Mike Bieda, Ramey Johnson, Anita Springsteen and Charlie Able.

Voting yes: David Skilling, Mayor Adam Paul, Jacob LaBure and Karen Harrison. by the city.

Amendments meant to add additional protections to the ordinance were also voted down in the council session.

Colorado state law allows for the creation of metro districts. In Lakewood, city council is required to approve the creation of new metro districts.

Most residential metro districts act in their capacity as government entities, issuing bonds to raise money to pay for infrastructure like roads, water and sewer for new developments or subdivisions. The money is raised upfront through the bond issuance and ,in theory, homeowners pay that money back in small increments (taxes) over the next several years or decades. There are examples of them working out as intended.

However, well-documented cases exist where interest on the debt taken on by metro districts con-

tinues to compound, increasing tax burdens on often unsuspecting homeowners that are sometimes forced to sell or fall into foreclosure because they can no longer afford to stay in their homes.

According to the Special District Association and Division of Local Government, there are 1,819 metro districts in Colorado. And at least half of current city council members in Lakewood think that’s quite enough.

Ward 5 Councilor, Mike Bieda, has proposed doing away with metro districts in the city. Before the vote on O-2021-25 (and its amendments), a vote to ban metro districts was taken. That vote ended in a tie, which according to council rules, means it failed to pass.

Ward 4 Councilor, David Skilling, is a proponent of keeping metro districts as a viable mechanism to utilize when needed.

Skilling has been chairing the committee dealing with the issue for the last two years. He thinks Council is empowered to approve or deny them on a case-by-case basis. His frustration with the divide was apparent.

“If council doesn’t like a district that’s in front of it — if they say that project is too big, too vast and

ripe for abuse — then, you deny it,” he said. “If you like it — and there are success examples in Lakewood — why on earth would you just prohibit them outright and take that tool out of your toolbox? It doesn’t make a lot of sense.”

Bieda referenced several reasons he believes metro districts should be banned. One reason at the top of his list is that he thinks they are largely unregulated by the state.

“A strict and enforceable regulatory framework is needed statewide but the state legislature has failed to enact such legislation, presumably due to heavy lobbying pressure from the developer and metro district lobbies,” he said.

“This legislation benefits only developers, not the citizens whom we serve.”

Council members, Bieda, Ramey Johnson (Ward 1), Anita Springsteen (Ward 3) and Charlie Able (Ward 1), voted to prohibit metro districts and against the ordinance.

Skilling, Mayor Adam Paul, Jacob LaBure (Ward 2) and Karen Harrison (Ward 5) voted in favor of continuing to allow metro districts and in support of the failed ordinance.

Morrison police chief resigns Chief sites lack of resources and quality applicants for officer positions

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Morrison Police Chief Misty Siderfin is resigning after three months in the position, with her last day Oct. 21.

In her Oct. 7 letter of resignation, Siderfin states that she is “unable to continue within this role due to the limited resources, lack of financial stability and budgeting for the Police Department, demands for the police department to support its own budget, lack of transparency, and extremely low numbers of quality applicants for the current vacancies.”

Kara Winters, Morrison’s town manager, could not be reached for comment.

Siderfin had replaced George Mumma, who parted ways with Morrison in August 2020. The town has not decided how it will proceed.

Siderfin was hired in early July

because of her qualifications and her experience with community policing, and town officials believed her personality would fit will with the town, Winters previously said.

In August, Siderfin asked the Town Board to contract with the Jeffco Sheriff’s Office to provide Morrison with law enforcement for six months while she rebuilt the department. The decision came because Morrison had lost several officers to other departments with higher salaries.

Siderfin was in a unique position to rebuild the department because she had built the Severance, Colorado, police department from the ground up.

Last month, officers’ salaries increased from $43,000 to $55,000 annually, and Siderfin advertised to fill three officer, a detective and a sergeant position. Only seven applicants are moving forward to phone interviews. With Siderfin’s resignation, it is unclear whether the town will move forward with hiring officers.

Candidates for Lakewood City Council Ward 1

Cathy Kentner Profession: Jeffco Public School teacher Residence: Lakewood/ Bonvue Neighborhood Campaign Website: CathyforLakewood.com Why are you seeking this office?

Kentner Ward 1 must be represented by someone who puts people and Lakewood first. Too often voices are ignored. I will continue to be an independent voice for the people, bringing your concerns to the table. As a teacher in Lakewood schools and a single parent I am the most qualified candidate to make decisions that protect our community from special interest overreach that comes at the expense of working families and those on fixed incomes.

What makes you the best person for the job?

I have the advantage of experience in working with the City’s legislative process, including serving on Planning Commission, Bonvue Water and Sanitation District Board, DRCOG’s Inclusionary Zoning panel, copetitioner of the Lakewood Strategic Growth Initiative, and my longtime advocacy for neighborhood issues. I am an independent thinker, a person unafraid to represent the interests and needs of our community over special interest demands. I have and will make informed, equitable decisions based on well-researched facts.

What are your top three priorities if elected?

• Provide the necessary resources to ensure that neighborhood safety and security are our top priority.

• Require City Council approval for large development projects. Too often highly impactive projects are built without collaboration between the developer and neighborhoods • Increase parks and open spaces.

Residential developments, especially those surrounding West Colfax, should provide land instead of simply paying a nominal fee, which is neither sustainable nor effective in the battle against climate change resulting from unlimited development.

Has city hall done an appropriate job in implementing the citizen-approved growth ordinance?

No. To move forward with the growth initiative, city hall first must recognize and begin to address the underlying issues that prompted voters to approve this legislation. My platform is based on these concerns: too much growth without the necessary and basic infrastructure such as streets, sidewalks, schools, public safety officers and parks and open spaces. Instead of appropriate implementation, city hall has delayed and created exemptions to the legislation where none should exist.

SEE KENTNER, P20

Jeslin Shahrezaei Occupation: Nonprofit director Residence: Lakewood Campaign Website: jeslin4lakewood.com Why are you seeking this office?

There has not been an elected official in the recent history of Ward 1 that reflects my lived experience of a young family putting roots in the community. My children attend our local schools, we support our local businesses, we use our parks and recreate in our open spaces. I am invested in making sure this community thrives for our residents now and into the future. Let’s widen the lens of who represents us.

Shahrezaei

What makes you the best person for the job?

For 15 years, through my career in nonprofits, I have worked to build partnerships and community to lift up and empower those who are overlooked. I sit on the Mid Lakewood Civic Association board and I am a charter organizer with Lakewood’s Sustainable Neighborhood program. I have experience reflecting my neighbors’ needs to our electeds. My ability to listen respectfully and weigh varying opinions is necessary to advocate for residents and advance our com-

munity’s needs.

What are your top three priorities if elected?

My top 3 priorities for City Council when elected: Exit the Pandemic with Consideration for our Future. Let’s address some of our pressing infrastructure needs with investments coming into our community.

West Colfax Revitalization. I want to support the momentum in West Colfax and encourage it west through Ward 1.

Sustainability as a Top Priority.

We need elected officials who consider the whole view in sustainable issues like transportation, sidewalk connectivity and open spaces.

Has city hall done an appropriate job in implementing the citizen-approved growth ordinance?

It is hard to measure the impact of the growth ordinance and how the City is implementing it because we are operating in uncharted waters with COVID19. I am committed to upholding the ordinance as it was passed by the people. The frustration we see from citizens in this space is a result of the ordinance’s inability to wholly define important terms like “blight” and “distressed”. We still have some work to do.

Candidates for Lakewood City Council Ward 2

Sophia Mayott-Guerrero Profession: Environmental Justice Advocacy Residence: Lakewood Campaign Website: Sophiaforcolorado.com Why are you seeking this office?

MayottI am running to ensure Guerrero that the city’s agenda and priorities are to help meet the people of Lakewood’s everyday needs.

With Covid recovery dollars coming from the federal government, we have the potential to build back our local economy, our public art, and our community in a way that doesn’t leave anyone behind. Working together, we can create a future for Lakewood that is more affordable, inclusive, and affordable.

What makes you the best person for the job?

Since moving here in 2014, I have had the opportunity to work as a community organizer in this area, and to live as both a home owner and a renter. I have also worked as the policy lead on climate, transportation and other environmental policies at Conservation Colorado.

to identify the community’s most urgent needs and create real solutions to those problems.

What are your top three priorities if elected?

Increase transit, sidewalks, and bike lanes to support traffic reduction and improve air quality.

Fund and update the sustainability plan. Climate change is a global problem, with local solutions.

Continue the innovation of our police force and public services, including expanding our homeless navigator program, including mental health professionals to support those in crisis, and increasing diversion programs.

Has city hall done an appropriate job in implementing the citizen-approved growth ordinance?

This ordinance was marketed as being pro-environment, pro-affordable housing, and pro-responsible growth.

Instead, it has handcuffed the city’s ability to think long-term about the city’s needs. No matter if it is implemented in the intended spirit, it has only lead to more sprawl, more traffic, and more expensive housing.

Why are you seeking this office?

To be part of the future of Northeast Lakewood.

What makes you the best person for the job?

I’ve been an active and engaged leader in Northeast Lakewood for the better part of a decade. We need strong leadership to bring balance and professionalism back to our government. My experience professionally and in the community are foundations I will build my approach to government on.

What are your top three priorities if elected?

A more consistent and unified citywide approach to homelessness. A review of the options afforded the city to assist in subsidizing the cost of housing and rents in a skyrocketing market.

Reviewing and clarifying verbiage within the growth initiative.

Has city hall done an appropriate job in implementing the citizen-approved growth ordinance?

With the way the growth initiative was written, they have done an admirable job attempting to implement the growth ordinance.

I do, however, believe that council should continue to look at and tweak the ordinance so that investors and property owners know the parameters they need to work within. It is simply untenable to require anyone to work within the confines of a moving target.

What is one part of the city that you feel could definitely use more council attention, and why?

Northeast Lakewood, specifically Ward 2, is the oldest part of Lakewood. It has the infrastructure with the most years on it and has been, historically, neglected in favor of the westernmost parts of Lakewood. Northeast Lakewood requires a lot of investment, re-development and attention to return it to a vibrant self-sustaining part of the city.

Candidates for Lakewood City Council Ward 3

Rebekah Stewart Stewart

Profession: Chief Operating Officer, Board-Certified Music Therapist Residence: Cedar Place Campaign Website: Rebekahforsite lakewood.com

Why are you seeking this office?

I am running because Lakewood needs fresh voices as we move forward together and make decisions that will affect the future of our city and the next generations. I want to ensure that people have the opportunity to create a good life in Lakewood. We should be at the forefront of innovation when it comes to sustainability, protecting green space, improving affordability, creating safe communities, and supporting small and local businesses.

What makes you the best person for the job?

As COO of a healthcare nonprofit, I work with people and provide compassionate leadership, which is exactly what being in public service is about.

I’ve spent my career working with and advocating for individuals with disabilities, and I am invested in our community as an active member of my Sustainable Neighborhood, two of our local small business associations, and am proud to have

Mike Bieda

earned the support of our local first responders.

What are your top three priorities if elected?

1. Invest in sustainability and protect/expand our parks and open spaces 2. Create more opportunities for people to earn a good life by increasing fair access to housing that’s affordable 3. Work together towards a safer Lakewood by investing in traffic safety and supporting our mental health co-responder programs Has city hall done an appropriate job in implementing the citizenapproved growth ordinance?

As city hall has attempted to implement the growth ordinance, it is clear that there are areas requiring more clarity and that is why City Council has a review of the ordinance on their agenda. It’s important to continue to problem solve in good faith with our community as we move forward.

What is one part of the city that you feel could definitely use more council attention, and why?

Investing in our sustainability and a future of clean air and water. We have a responsibility to the next generations to do our part to lower emissions, and increase investment in clean infrastructure throughout the city.

Profession: Lawyer/ retired Residence: Lasley neighborhood Campaign website: www.mikebieda.com Why are you seeking this office?

In order to preserve the Heart and Soul of Lakewood; which is our small town way of life, our neighborhoods, homes, schools, parks and most of all, our people.

To give my neighbors an effective voice on Lakewood City Council and someone to champion the will of the people instead of special interests. Its time to put the people in charge.

Bieda

What makes you the best person for the job?

My experience as a practicing lawyer for 4 years, District Judge, Assistant Attorney General and my service the past 4 years on City Council. The fact that I grew up right here in Lakewood, graduated from Alameda High school, before going on to college and then graduated from Law School. I know my neighbors and friends in Ward 3 and what they value. I work for them, not the Lakewood establishment and not the developers.

What are your top three priorities if elected?

1. To reduce the ever increasing crime in Lakewood by supporting our Police Department. An example would be to establish a police substa-

tion in Bel Mar. 2. To maintain our way of life by reducing traffic congestion, noise pollution, light pollution. Revise our Zoning code to limit the discretion and authority of the planning director.

3. To have the recently named Peak View Park renamed to honor our veterans from Lakewood who fought and died for this country. The name should be changed to Veterans Memorial Open Space, or something similar.

Has city hall done an appropriate job in implementing the citizen-approved growth ordinance?

No. The most glaring failure is not limiting blighted areas to those that are part of an Urban Renewal Corridor as intended by the growth ordinance. Those areas that are legitimately blighted should count all new living units towards the 1% growth limitation as provided in the ordinance itself.

What is one part of the city that you feel could definitely use more council attention, and why?

Economic Development. The business economy is rapidly changing.

We need more start up businesses in Lakewood, as well as established businesses. The Federal Center contracts billions of dollars every year to small businesses; those businesses need to be located in Lakewood. The implementation of an incubator near the federal center for new businesses to help them become established.

Christopher Arlen Profession: Small business owner Residence: Briarwood Hills Campaign Website: christopher4lakewood.com Why are you seeking this office?

I am running for Lakewood City Council because I believe in people and I believe in Lakewood. In this election, we get to decide the course of Lakewood’s future. We face serious challenges and we need strong leadership to help us navigate the intersection of economic growth and housing; development and preservation and more. I’m running for Lakewood City Council because I believe that we can build a stronger Lakewood, together.

Arlen

I want to move us forward with vision and hope rather than fear and cynicism. Let’s seek to bring out the best in our another than to pit us one again another. Similarly, I will work to nurture Lakewood’s civic character. Let’s be full of possibilities.

Has city hall done an appropriate job in implementing the citizen-approved growth ordinance?

As written, the strategic growth initiative can be cumbersome and unclear.

This creates interesting opportunities for interpretation that may or many not comport with voter intent. I believe that we can and should clarify how the implementation matches up with expectations. We should also look at some of the unintended consequences and work SEE ARLEN, P20

Has city hall done an appropriate job in implementing the citizenapproved growth ordinance?

Yes. They have to — it’s the law.

What is one part of the city that you feel could definitely use more council attention, and why?

Candidates for Lakewood City Council Ward 5

Tom Keefe Profession: Professor Residence: Kendrick Lakes Campaign Website: Tom4Lakewood. com Keefe

Why are you seeking this office?

I am running to give back to the community that has given so much to my family. I will bring my policy experience to the city council and to improve the civility in our politics. I want to do my part in building a safer, stronger, and greener Lakewood.

What makes you the best person for the job?

My educational background and life experiences make me uniquely qualified to serve on Council. I know these struggles that so many of us face —from safety in our community to safety within our homes, from physical health to mental health, and providing for our family while supporting our neighbors in need. I know what it’s like to be a single parent, a blended parent, an entrepreneur, and a public servant.

That’s why I want to be one of the two new Ward 5 Councilors.

We are stronger together.

What are your top three priorities if

elected?

I am committed to a safer, stronger, and greener Lakewood.

Safety includes personal safety, property safety, and traffic safety.

Stronger means fiscal responsibility and increasing our municipal employee retention. I will also ensure we invest in our future infrastructure responsibly, our small businesses, and continuing to attract new businesses. I will support the continued expansion of our parks and open spaces which both protects the environment and adds to our quality of life.

Has city hall done an appropriate job in implementing the citizenapproved growth ordinance?

The city has worked within the parameters of the Strategic Growth Initiative. Unfortunately, the growth ordinance seems to have not fulfilled all of its promises and has also had unintended consequences as well.

What is one part of the city that you feel could definitely use more council attention, and why?

I think the southern parts of Ward 5 that are intertwined with Denver and unincorporated Jeffco could use better signage so that travelers and residents are more aware of the jurisdiction boundaries.

Mary Janssen Profession: Small Business Owner Janssen Photography Residence: Lakewood Campaign Website: maryforlakewood.com Janssen

Why are you seeking this office?

I have concerns about safety and our double-digit increase in crime rates. I am the only candidate endorsed by Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Shrader because I’m pro law enforcement and ready to take a bite out of crime.

What makes you the best person for the job?

Financial Management Skills: Over 35-years our small business survived several recessions by budget reductions, revising a strategic financial plan, and strong investment strategies.

I refuse donations from special interest groups, unions, or lobbyists.

Recently, it came to my attention that a neighborhood was facing hazardous conditions accessing Wadsworth. Complaints had gone unheard for months. I quickly resolved part of this problem. I’m a leader who takes action, not just forward your complaint to some-

one else.

What are your top three priorities if elected?

Set up a Ward 5 Citizen’s Cabinet composed of diverse views from each neighborhood within the ward. Identify solutions making Lakewood even better than now.

Rebuild the community trust that has been lost in recent years.

As a city councilor, it’s about listening to the community and remembering there are always two sides to the story that must be heard before a decision can be made.

We must reduce the double-digit increase in crime rates.

Has city hall done an appropriate job in implementing the citizen-approved growth ordinance?

The strategic growth ordinance is a knee jerk reaction to illplanned developments.Citizens are frustrated because they don’t want Lakewood to be Denver. It’s difficult to say if the city council has done a good job because they are still arguing about it.

What is one part of the city that you feel could definitely use more council attention, and why?

City Hall. The reasons are too many to list with a 75-word limit.

Wendi Strom Profession: Financial Planner Residence: Westgage Campaign Website: www.wendistrom.com Why are you seeking this office?

Strom I am a mom who is highly invested in our community. Last year was a tipping point for me as so many families were hurting, small businesses were struggling, and partisanship seemed to be overflowing. I decided I wanted to run because we all deserve to have people in this office that will listen, be objective, think outside of the box and work to build collaboration to find solutions to some of our toughest challenges.

What makes you the best person for the job?

I have been actively involved in our community for over a decade, have experience in complex problem solving, and bringing people together to accomplish significant tasks. Separately, I am a Certified Financial Planner™ professional.

I’ve been helping people be good stewards with their finances for 20 years. I have budget experience and look forward to using this to make sure the city is in the best place possible to continue to meet our community’s needs.

What are your top three priorities if elected?

1. Rebuild a stronger Lakewood economy. Helping small businesses and workers get back on track.

2. Increase safety on our roads for our kids, cars and cyclists.

3. Address housing affordability and growth. Meeting our commu- o nity’s housing needs while preserv- A ing the heritage of the city we love, N can be accomplished. Growth does not need to be as divisive as it’s been in recent years. It needs to be e done thoughtfully, and in the right places.

W Has city hall done an appropriate job in implementing the citizen-approved growth ordinance?

I believe they have tried, but there is always room for improvement.

r i a s w f c k A b a a

What is one part of the city that you feel could definitely use more council attention, and why?

Staff. Staff are the backbone of our community and the lynchpin to the availability of the programs and services we all want, need, and W rely on. Staff need to feel respected, j and like they too are a valued stakeholder. Having every position filled is so important for the citizens of our city. What barriers are there to that being accomplished and how can we do better by the employees that the city currently has?

Michael Gunstanson Profession: Digital Marketer Residence: Ward 5 Campaign Website: www.michaelgunstanson. com Gunstanson Why are you seeking this

office?

Because I want to change the way the city treats its citizens. I’m tired of watching as neighborhood after neighborhood has had to sue the city (2090 Wright St., White Fence Farm, etc.) just to get it to do the right thing. As a Council member I believe I can ensure that citizen’s voices are heard and they are dealt with fairly and with dignity.

What makes you the best person for the job?

I have strong ties to the community.

I’ve owned a local business in Ward 5 and many of my former customers are my constituents. I have stood shoulderto-shoulder with my neighbors trying

to fight city hall, from the 2090 Wright St. park fiasco to the Schnell Farm to the city’s play for trash collection.

And I will continue to be there for the citizens when elected. After all, they ARE the boss.

What are your top three priorities if f elected?

Increase police force by 40 officers W (and place a sub-station in Belmar); stop Bear Creek Lake Park expansion; e reform Metro Districts. e a Has city hall done an appropriate job in implementing the citizen-approved growtha c ordinance? f Absolutely not!!! l What is one part of the city that you feel b could definitely use more council attention,i w and why?

Why are you seeking this office?

I want to make a positive difference in our community. My Jeffco education prepared me, my husband and our three children for success hand I want all students to have access to the same foundation. Today far too many students can’t do grade level work and as an engineer that breaks my heart because I know it can limit their future options. I wouldn’t have had the opportunities I’ve had without a great education.

What makes you the best person for the job?

I have the financial experience to oversee Jeffco’s $1.4 billion budget which over the last five years has grown 33% versus a 10% inflation rate. Over the same time enrollment has declined by over 6,000 students.

I have the governance experience having served in leadership positions for three large industry trade associations. I have the respect for parents and students and the focus

before COVID-19. What is the number one way you’d seek to improve student achievement?

District and school accountability for performance. I would work with the new administration to ensure everyone involved, district, administrators, teachers and students were actively working towards increasing test results.

What do you believe is the most important thing to keep in mind when making Covid-related decisions?

Keeping students in school. In person learning is essential for the success of students.

Theresa Shelton Profession: Licensed CPA with 35 years of experience in finance and operations; member of Colorado State University’s Accounting Advisory Board.

Residence: Golden Campaign Website: www.sheltonforjeffcostudents.com Why are you seeking this office?

As the mom of three Jeffco students a decade apart, I know great things happen in Jeffco daily.

However, over the last six years, we have declining academic achievement, increased spending (30%) and declining enrollment (6000 fewer students). I’m an experienced board member with 35 years of financial and operating expertise. Addressing these challenges requires bold leadership, collaborative problem solving, and a track record of success; I have the qualifications necessary to do this work.

What makes you the best person for the job?

Jeffco will spend $1.4 billion this year. I have analyzed and allocated multi-billion-dollar budgets and will work to ensure Jeffco spends money supporting student success.

I have a son that graduated and two girls in Jeffco middle school. I know how good it can be and I know it is critical to see improvement now.

Our children have attended our neighborhood schools and public schools of choice; I support parents and choice.

What are your top three priorities if elected?

First, ensuring academic

achievement improves. Nearly 50% of Jeffco’s third graders were not reading at grade level before COVID and it has only worsened. Next, increasing fiscal accountability; with a $1.4 billion Theresa Shelton GARRETT W. ELLWOOD dollar budget we deserve to know which programs are working and which should be stopped. We must spend wisely. And last, we must have a board that prioritizes listening to all members of the community, not just those with ties to special interests.

Student test score results were flagging across the district, even before COVID-19. What is the number one way you’d seek to improve student achievement?

First and foremost, the board must admit academic achievement is a problem, and then prioritize the systems, structures, and processes for improving it.

That requires identifying and replicating things that are working, but ending spending on those that don’t, or have only marginal benefit. We must also allocate the millions in additional federal funds thoughtfully and intentionally using targeted interventions to ensure each Jeffco student has access to the quality education they deserve.

SEE SHELTON, P12

In the long term, we need to address funding and the state budget by demand that state-level school funding comply with state constitutional requirements.

Profession: Customer Service/ Retired Teacher Residence: Lakewood Campaign Website: Paulareedforjeffcoschools.com Why are you seeking this office?

Over the years, I have watched decisions made by legislators and school boards that have eroded the trust of our families, communities, and employees.

I am running to make sure that there is the voice of an educator on the school board, one who understands how decisions made in the boardroom impact the classroom. I will place the interests of children at the head of every decision I make.

What makes you the best person for the job?

I have experience as an actual educator. I taught high school, elementary school, was a dean of students, and served on a committee for a major remodel of Columbine in 1994. As a teacher, I had everything from high-achieving students to those at risk of dropping out and everything in between. I understand the practicalities of the classroom.

What are your top three priorities if elected?

First, we must keep our children safely in school, in person, without interruption. This is best accomplished by working in tandem with Jefferson County Public Health.

Another priority is attracting and retaining great educators and support professionals. We simply must invest in quality people and keep them.

Student test score results were flagging across the district, even before COVID-19. What is the number one way you’d seek to improve student achievement?

The best use of standardized test scores is as indicators of places where more support is needed. The best way to raise test scores is to shore up areas that indicate a need for improvement, whether that is paying greater attention to particular demographic cohorts, improving curriculum, or reallocating district resources.

Paula Reed

What do you believe is the most important thing to keep in mind when making Covid-related decisions?

The number one priority is to keep kids in school, in person, safely and without interruption. Statewide evidence shows fewer COVID cases in districts that mandate masks, and so I see this mandate staying in place until a vaccine is available to all school-age children.

At that point, we should work with Jefferson County Public Health to reassess the best way to keep kids in school safely.

of Jeffco’s school to career programming, emphasizing partnerships with businesses, nonprofits, and government. And third, we have a critical teacher and staff shortage.

We need to address this with support and fair compensation so that Jeffco is a competitive place to work, raise a family, and build promising futures.

Student test score results were flagging across the district, even before COVID-19. What is the number one way you’d seek to improve student achievement?

It is critical that we provide resources equitably across the district.

We need to ensure our classrooms and teachers have what they need to help kids succeed academically, but

we also need to look at how we can address the social and economic factors that families face which impact student outcomes. When kids do not have access to food or adequate housing, they cannot come to school ready to learn, which impacts their overall achievement.

What do you believe is the most important thing to keep in mind when making Covid-related decisions?

Our top priority should be to keep kids in school, safely with uninterrupted learning time.

That COVID19 is a classic “wicked problem” that involves multiple competing goals that elected officials must trade-off against each other, and then clearly explain their reasoning to the public.

Prop 119 would raise marijuana taxes for out-of-school learning Measure is one of 3 on Colorado’s statewide ballot

BY DANIEL DUCASSI THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado voters will decide in the election ending Nov. 2 whether to raise taxes on recreational marijuana to help fund a new state program aimed at providing Colorado students with out-of-school learning opportunities.

The program -- called Learning Enrichment and Academic Progress, or LEAP -- would pay service providers, like private tutoring companies or even public school teachers looking for extra work, to provide a wide variety of educational or development support services to K-12 students in the state.

Supporters of the measure, called Proposition 119, say that by giving kids from lower income families a chance to access tutoring and enrichment programs, the program can help those kids catch up academically to their more privileged peers and start to reverse the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on learning.

Public education advocates who oppose the measure, however, paint it as a slippery slope to vouchers and a threat to the state’s public education system, and argue that any new tax revenue for education should go into the existing system rather than a whole new program. Meanwhile, opponents in Colorado’s cannabis

industry say the increased sales tax is regressive and may push consumers back into the black market.

Proposition 119 would create the LEAP program to provide financial support to Colorado students between the ages of 5 and 17 who are eligible to attend public school.

A new state agency, called the Colorado Learning Authority, would run the program independent of oversight by the State Board of Education and the Colorado Department of Education. The governor would appoint a nine-member board to oversee the agency.

The measure would prioritize students from low-income families who otherwise couldn’t afford the supplemental services by giving them the first shot at receiving benefits under the program.

In 2023, financial aid awards of at least $1,500 would first have to go to students from households with income at or below the federal poverty level, then to students from households with income less than twice the poverty level. Any funding left over would be open to students from households with higher incomes. After 2024, the Colorado Learning Authority would get new flexibility to determine the award amounts as well as how it would distribute the money.

The agency would set criteria for selecting and certifying the service providers. The types of educational or

developmental support services providers could offer include tutoring, assistance targeted at students with special needs, language instruction, additional academic support materials, career and technical educational training programs, physical therapy, social emotional learning and mental health services. However, the measure would block the program from being used for school tuition or for lessons or materials that are part of a student’s regular school day.

Colorado school districts and charter schools would automatically be certified as providers and teachers would get priority for approval.

The program would be paid for by raising retail marijuana taxes by 5 percentage points, to 20% from SEE MARIJUANA, P24

VOICES Kudos to Rockies alum Larry Walker

“W

hat a coincidence, you’re my favorite fan.”

When the Colorado Rockies conducted a series of fan events around GUEST Colorado before they went to Spring COLUMNIST Training in 1996, my then six-year old daughter Alex handed her baseball to Larry Walker for an autograph. As he signed her ball, she told him that he was her favorite player. Without Greg Romberg missing a beat, he smiled, handed the ball back to her and convinced her that she was his favorite fan.

That cemented our family’s love of Walker. We’d already loved to taunt foolish base runners who unsuccessfully tried to take an extra base on balls hit to right field by yelling, “What made you think you could run on that arm?” and to cheer on Walker for his remarkable assets at every phase of the game.

When we moved to Evergreen, where he also lived in 1997, we were thrilled by his MVP season what included a .366 batting average, 49 home runs, 46 doubles, 33 stolen bases and 130 RBIs. As was the case with most Rockies’ fans, we were proud when he was named to the Hall of Fame last year and disappointed when his induction ceremony was delayed a year because of the pandemic. We watched with joy as he, with a Sponge Bob Square Pants

lapel pin on his coat, joined the hall earlier this month.

We were at Coors Field Saturday when the Rockies retired his number and honored his Hall of Fame selection. When his walk-up song (Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne) was played, we were part of almost 50,000 fans who got to sing along “Aye, aye, aye” for Larry one last time and when he told the crowd, “I don’t say ‘I have a plaque in Cooperstown, I say we have a plaque in Cooperstown,’” we were reminded of the special attributes of a man who locked in a lifetime love of baseball for a little girl he told that she was his favorite fan 25 years ago.

At a time when Americans are so divided over so many things, sports provide us an important way to come together in support of a com-

mon goal. During the Rockies’ 29 years in Colorado, there have been more disappointments than celebrations as they’ve made the play-offs just five times and won a single National League pennant. Despite that, we collectively share many happy memories and continue to “root, root, root for the home team” and dream of that magical season when we will finally win it all.

Congratulations to Larry Walker for his well-deserved selection as the first ever Colorado Rockies player to join the Hall of Fame. Now that that barrier has been broken, we can join together in support of the next local hero to earn the same honor.

Greg Romberg is president of Romberg and Associates. He lives in Evergreen with his wife, Laurie.

Election information for Jeffco voters

B

elieve it or not, it’s that time of year again! The 2021 Coordinated Election has begun, with mail ballots on the way to active, registered voters and 24-hour drop boxes now open.

GUEST In the interest of COLUMNIST helping our voters continue their recent record-setting turnouts, here is the who, what, when, and where (plus a bit more) for this November’s election.

George Stern

Who and what are on the ballot?

On every Jefferson County ballot this year are three statewide ballot measures and three school board races. Then, depending on where you live, you might also have local city council races and municipal or special district ballot initiatives. If your ballot hasn’t arrived yet, you can find an all-inclusive sample ballot, as well as the state Blue Book and local TABOR notices, by visiting VoteJeffco.com and clicking on “Election Information.”

When is the election?

Here are the key dates: · Friday, October 8: We mailed ballots to all active, registered voters in Jefferson County. · Monday, October 18: If you haven’t yet received a ballot by this date, contact our Elections team by calling 303-271-8111. We can issue you a replacement by mail until October 25. · Monday, October 25: Last day to return your ballot by mail to ensure it arrives in time, and first day inperson vote centers are open. · Tuesday, November 2: Election Day! Drop boxes and vote centers are open until 7 p.m.

your car! · Mail: If you choose to return your ballot by mail, we strongly recommend doing so no later than October 25 and affixing one Forever stamp to your envelope. · VSPC: If you need additional services (Registering for the first time? Child spilled juice on your ballot? Dog actually ate it?), visit an in-person Voter Service and Polling Center starting on October 25. As with drop boxes, those locations are listed in your ballot mailing packet or online at VoteJeffco.com.

Where can I vote?

Use any of Colorado’s normal three ways to vote: · Drop Box: More than 80% of Jeffco voters choose to use a drop box, given that the boxes are secure, accessible, and available 24/7.

Because of that popularity, we have more than doubled the number of boxes in the last few years from 15 to 36. Check your ballot mailing or visit VoteJeffco.com to find your nearest drop box—many of which do not even require you to get out of

What else?

For additional peace of mind, we encourage all Jeffco voters to sign up for ballot tracking alerts. You can receive notifications by phone, text, or email when your ballot is on its way to you (most voters have already received those), as well as when we have received your ballot back and processed it for counting.

Visit VoteJeffco.com to sign up.

Finally, if you want to see the election process up close, we invite you to join our Facebook Live tour (@JeffcoClerk) on November 1.

No matter what’s on the ballot, we

take election security seriously every time. We have already had a bipartisan team test our election equipment to ensure it will count votes accurately. Likewise, as we always do, we will have a bipartisan team audit those machines after the fact using ballots from this election. These processes are additional checks on top of what you will see on our tour, where bipartisan election judges on 24/7 surveillance and under the observation of election watchers perform each step of ballot processing, including verifying the signature on every ballot envelope before counting.

If you have additional questions about voting or the process, please do not hesitate to reach out to our office. We are committed to doing everything we can to ensure the accessibility and security of our elections. And in turn, we’re counting on you to exercise your right to vote, so Jeffco can continue setting the bar for turnout, no matter who or what is on the ballot.

George Stern is the Jefferson County clerk and recorder. He lives in Golden where he also serves as a volunteer firefighter.

LIFE Horse culture still kicking in modern West

Growth changes state but love of horses is forever

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

I

n 1950, metro Denver’s population hovered right around 500,000. Farms and horse properties could still be found throughout the close-in suburbs.

By the mid-1970s, the population had more than doubled and subdivisions had eaten away at sprawling open spaces. But it was still common to see leisure riders on horses, trotting down trails along Morrison Road, Alameda Avenue or Dry Creek Road.

Today, the metro population is closing in on 3 million fast. Development and an explosion in residents have made things feel more like a big city than the cowtown vibes of yesteryear. But if you look closely, you’ll still find horse culture holds a special place in the heart of folks throughout the metro area.

It’s a warm, late September morning as Joe McClellan makes his way toward his first job of the day.

With an unbelievable view of the Flatirons as his backdrop, McClellan gets down to business. His dual degrees in architectural and civil engineering will be put to good use at the job site, but not to design or build a house. He’s there to shoe some horses.

McClellan is a certified Natural Balance Farrier. More than a decade ago, he traded in his engineering career for a life working with the animals he loves. He said he was always fascinated by horses and a 2009 Natural Balance Hoof Trimming course set him on the path he’d been looking for. Applying engineering principals to every hoof he shoes, McClellan found a way to combine two things he loves into the freedom to work for himself.

Shoeing horses from Fort Collins to Castle Rock and everywhere in between, and owning two horses of his own, McClellan spends his life immersed in local horse culture.

Karen Richard owns the property with the fantastic view. She moved here in 1984 to be able to keep her

horses on her own land. She’s owned horses for close to 50 years. She says in those days she would drive more than 100 miles to work and back each day to make her dream a reality. She didn’t come from a horseowning family.

“I was just an anomaly, I guess,” she says.

Richard’s horses, Tilly and Summer, are two of McClellan’s three clients at this stop. The other is a 23-year-old palomino Richard boards, named Sweetie. Sweetie’s owner, Bob, says she’s taught him a lot.

“Like how to be a human,” he says.

Bob leased Sweetie, taking care of her for a few years before her previous owner agreed to let him buy her.

“I don’t refer to myself as her owner,” he says. “I refer to myself as her staff.”

Over the years, Richard has done both Western and English riding styles, competing in dressage, a form of horse riding performed in exhibition, with Tilly, a liver-chestnut thoroughbred. Now, Richard is content to just ride on her own property for fun. She says horses have given her more than she can express throughout her life. More than just fulfillment, she says horses have given her the gift of being present in her surroundings. Beyond their beauty, she thinks horses have a special place in this world. McClellan agrees.

“Human beings couldn’t be where they are today without horses supporting us,” he says. “They transported us. They fought battles with us. They farmed with us. They’re amazing animals and we actually don’t deserve them. They deserve for us to treat them better.”

Sixty miles southeast, Heidi Knab is chatting with customers at the Rusty Spur Saddle Shop in Parker.

Her business card lists her position as “Head Cowgirl.” She also happens to be the owner of the tack/gear shop she founded after two decades teaching school.

A lifelong rider, Knab says one day she was driving all over town looking for a new saddle. Her inability to find what she was looking for gave her the idea to start the business.

Now, more than three years later, she says things are good and her business is continuing to grow.

“The timing was right for me to change careers and open the business,” she says. “We started off with 30 saddles and now we sometimes have up to 200.”

ost of us had more than a little help getting through the bleakest parts of the COVID-19 pandemic and for many that help came in the form of our canine friends. They’re not called man’s best friend for nothing.

But what do dogs really think of us? And how do they help us so much?

These are just a couple of questions that are investigated in A.R. Gurney’s delightful play “Sylvia,” which is part of the Arvada Center’s return to live theater and of the first production in the 2021-2022 Black Box Theatre schedule.

“It feels really good to be there, to gather with people again. It’s a special thing to

gather with strangers and find a way to laugh together,” said Jessica Robblee, who plays the titular labradoodle. “We desperately need an audience for a play like this to come alive. The audience is the water a comedy plant needs to grow.”

“Sylvia” runs at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. in Arvada, through Sunday, Nov. 7. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday through Saturday, 1 p.m. on Wednesday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Directed by Lynne Collins, the show follows New York married couple Kate and Greg (Kate Gleason and Gareth Saxe) as their relationship and lives get thrown for a loop when Greg finds Sylvia in Central

Park. What ensues is kind of comedic triangle of warring needs and wants between the two people and their dog.

“All the quirks that you notice in your dog we take time to celebrate. In the rehearsal room, everyone was always talking about what their dogs do,” Robblee said.

“One of the delights of the play is the audience learning how the communication between the characters works.”

The show is as much a tribute to the importance of connection as it is to the human-dog relationship. That’s something that gets emphasized every time audiences SEE READER, P17

She also has 1,500 consigners helping her stock merchandise and a deal with Colorado Saddlery to carry their new saddles. The store also has everything a rider could need for English and Western tack, clothing, boots, blankets, trailer supplies, grooming products and more.

According to Knab, Douglas county ranks second in the nation for horse ownership per capita.

“It’s huge, for horses,” she says. “I would have thought it would be Kentucky or something like that, but Douglas county is way up there.”

Despite her parents not being horse people, Knab says she and her sister started doing barrel races at local shows and a ton of trail riding when she was a kid.

“Horses are enchanting animals.

I bought my first horse with babysitting money when I was 11 — of course, I also had to take out a loan from my parents,” she says. “My sister got me into it. She was really horse crazy.”

If you are unable to be vaccinated, you must provide a negative COVID-19 test to attend. And all visitors must wear a mask while at the center.

That way we can all keep connecting together.

“The show is a beautiful ode to dogs and admitting that it’s not always easy. Like any relationship it comes with both complexity and comedy,” Robblee said. “It’s such a human play, such a soulful play.”

Guidance from other women in the tack industry was invaluable when she started out. But that didn’t surprise her. She thinks horse people she’s met are some of the most loyal, appreciative, kind individuals around.

And that loyalty goes both ways.

Relationships and customer service are what she says make the whole thing tick.

Old adages about not mixing business with pleasure notwithstanding, Knab says opening the store actually feeds her passion for riding.

‘The Crucible’ conjures the witches among us Witches are one of the most recognizable archetypes that you see around Halloween every year, but the witches featured in Arthur Miller’s immortal play, “The Crucible,” are of the much more terrifying kind — allegorical. And what they represent is something we should all fear.

Just in time for the spooky season Miners Alley Playhouse, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden, is staging the show with all its scorching damnation of willful ignorance, intolerance and hypocrisy, through Sunday, Nov. 7. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. All patrons are required to wear masks and show proof of vaccination.

Carol Perry is a native Texan who’s called Douglas county home since the ‘80s. She’s been a horse person her whole life. But she’s retiring from the hobby and recently she’s been selling off gear through Knab’s store.

Her stable of horses has gone from eight down to one — a Swedish warmblood grand prix dressage horse that is 26 years old.

Perry says retiring from the horse world has been an incredibly difficult decision. At her age, she says she wants to simplify her life, but the challenges that ever-increasing population and development have created for riders have hastened her departure.

She says resources for horse people are becoming more restrictive each year and the people passing legislation aren’t paying enough attention to the billion-dollar equine industry here. But it’s also increasingly difficult to compete for trail space with mountain bikers — even in places like The Pines and Dawson Butte that were created to include horses.

If you’re a lifelong horse person, or just thinking about maybe getting started, Knab says her shop is a nexus — a place people can come to get information and find their people. She holds community events once per quarter and welcomes everyone with a passion for horses to attend.

The Texas-based band has released just two studio albums as well as other miscellany, but they’ve already built up a strong reputation as some of the best in the genre.

They’ll be taking the stage at Red Rocks Amphitheater, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway in Morrison, at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 16. They’ll be joined by Iowan Hailey Whitters, who released one of the best country records of the year in 2020.

District 7 Congressman Ed Perlmutter was honored by Nuclear Care Partners with the organization’s inaugural Congressional Award for Atomic Heroes at ceremony held at the Armed Forces Garden in Westminster on Oct. 7.

Eight former Rocky Flats employees attended the ceremony and were presented with a congressional certificate and a U.S. flag flown over the Capitol by Perlmutter.

Perlmutter was recognized by the NCP — an organization that provides benefits guidance and in-home care to former atomic workers — due to his work to ensure benefits and improve access to benefits for former atomic workers, as well as his work to empower the Advisory Board which allows former atomic workers a direct line of communication with the Department of Labor.

Perlmutter said that protecting health care and benefit access for atomic workers has been a priority of his and will continue to be going forward.

“Working on behalf of these Cold War Patriots who risked their lives to protect our nation and help end the Cold War has been one of my biggest priorities,” said Perlmutter. “I will continue to work to ensure these heroes receive the compensation and care they need and deserve as they deal with the health consequences and other side effects related to their service to our country.”

NCP Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Jenna Noem praised Perlmutter’s advocacy for atomic workers and said that the award would be given out by NCP on an annual basis going forward.

“There’s big shoes to fill, because to give the inaugural award to (Perlmutter) was a fantastic experience. We’re looking for congressmen and women who are interested in this issue, who is actually weighing in with the department of labor and making an impact for former workers,” Noem said.

“Someone who is an advocate for their peers, someone who is a champion when it comes to policymaking or letters being sent, really championing these workers. We can’t wait to see who it’s going to be next year.”

In some areas we have flooding, in others there is need for renewal and investments, and others still the desire for more open space or economic development. We are all concerned about traffic safety and the epidemic of speeding on our streets and highways. Public safety, infrastructure, and affordability are universal concerns. My answer is all of the above.

We need to pay more attention to sustainability. Our sustainability plan needs to be updated and funded. Metro areas produce over 70% of the carbon pollution, but are now leading the way on cli-

mate action, and Lakewood hasn’t kept pace. We need to increase electric vehicle charging stations, transit options, tree canopy, recycling options, and energy efficiency. There are many low-cost and easy options to improve local air quality and do our part for the planet.

Sunset for notorious Blue Sky Motel License revocation forces closure of long-time nuisance.

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A history of sordid behavior, code violations and unending calls for police response has finally caught up to the Blue Sky Motel located at 6205 West Colfax Avenue.

Lakewood’s Lodging Facility Licensing Authority revoked the busi-

nesses license, Sept. 29. Blue Sky is the first motel to be shut down as a result of the licensing program.

Charges in the complaint filed by the city alleged the business was violating terms of probation ordered by the Licensing Authority in Feb. 2021.

Current violations include failure to make guests register their vehicles with the front desk upon checkin and failure to maintain a “do not rent” list of customers who have caused previous disturbances that required police response. The motel also failed to hire licensed security to patrol the premises during spe-

cific days and times required in the terms of its probation.

Daniel Kim, the motel’s owner, admitted to the violations.

Kim declined representation by an attorney, agreeing with Assistant City Attorney, Gus Schenck’s argument that worsening conditions at the motel necessitated license revocation and closure.

The motel’s checkered past includes at least two murders on the premises since 2019. The latest deadly incident took place in the early morning hours of Jan. 26. Police responding to the motel found 29-year-old Geronimo

Alvarado suffering from gunshot wounds. Alvarado later died from his injuries.

Several West Colfax motels have been long-standing magnets for crime. In an effort to gain control of the problem, the city launched the Licensure program in 2019, with the passage of Ordinance O-2019-2.

In a previous interview about the topic, Mayor Adam Paul said the ordinance was proposed after the results of a study showed somewhere in the neighborhood of 3,000 police response calls to West Colfax motels in a single year.

Volunteers needed for Service Saturdays in Denver, Jeffco STAFF REPORT

Anybody wanting to volunteer in the community is invited to participate in A Little Help’s Service Saturday events.

A Little Help is a local nonprofit that connects volunteers to help their senior-aged neighbors thrive.

The organization serves communities in metro Denver, northern Colorado and the Western Slope.

Volunteer opportunities range from yard work to creating Kindness Kits; and during the COVID-19 pandemic, running essential errands such as grocery shopping or

making a phone call and having a conversation to combat loneliness and isolation.

Service Saturdays take place twice a year. These entail yardwork and outdoor chores/tasks that seniors may not be able to accomplish on their own.

This fall’s Service Saturdays take place Oct. 23-Nov. 13, with a Jefferson County event on Oct. 30 and a Denver event on Nov. 6.

In Lakewood, the day of service will start at 8 a.m. Oct. 30 at Mile Hi Church, 9077 W. Alameda Ave. Coffee and treats will be provided, and volunteers will receive an

older-adult household location and assignment. Most work assignments will wrap up around noon, and then a celebration for volunteers will be held at Edgewater Public Market, 5505 W. 20th Ave., Edgewater.

In Denver, volunteers will meet at 8 a.m. Nov. 6 at Denver South High School, 1700 E. Louisiana Ave. in the Washington Park neighborhood, for coffee and donuts and to receive work assignments and tools.

Volunteers will go out to the seniors’ homes in small groups to complete the projects. Work

projects — which can include raking leaves, pulling weeds, washing windows, cleaning gutters, etc. — typically wrap up about noon. Volunteers are then invited to Junction Food & Drink, 2000 S. Colorado Blvd. in the University Hills neighborhood, for lunch and a post-service day celebration.

To learn more about volunteering or to register, visit alittlehelp. org/ServiceSaturdays or call A Little Help’s office at 720-242-9032.

Seniors who would like to receive a volunteer group can also call the number above to learn more and sign up.

Wheat Ridge briefs Two pedestrians hit on Monday At 7:24 a.m. Monday morning there was a call to police reporting that a driver of an automobile had hit a teen crossing at the crosswalk in front of WRHS. The teen had activated the crossing signal. After dropping their child at school, a driver turning onto 32nd did not see the teen and hit him. The teen was transported to an area hospital and

the driver was cited.

Six hours later Wheat Ridge Police were summoned to another auto vs. pedestrian call, this time a vehicle had struck and killed an adult male at 30th and Youngfield. The incident was investigated as a hit-and-run.

The suspect was located and placed in custody that same day thanks to SEE WHEAT RIDGE, P33

Apex board votes to approve Meyers Pool project First of three parties needed to greenlight new Arvada natatorium

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At the Oct. 7 meeting of the Apex Parks and Recreation District Board of Directors, the board voted to unanimously approve a proposal for an intergovernmental agreement that would work towards constructing a new pool building to replace Meyers Pool, located at 7900 Carr Street.

The project would involve Apex, the City of Arvada and Jefferson County School District, the latter two of which still need to vote to approve the proposal. Under the agreement, Apex would operate the pool, Jeffco Public Schools would be the facility’s primary tenant, and the City of Arvada would own the facility.

Apex Board of Directors President Vicki Pyne shared details on the proposal at the meeting.

“The goal is to have this document signed by all involved parties by the

end of October,” said Pyne. “The city and the school district are the capital financers, 50% split. Right now, we’re looking at about a $35-36 million building, so about $17 million (each). They’ll finance it for 20 years; they’re using private financing. It’ll be in the neighborhood of about $800,000 per year.

“In return the school district asked for free lane use for the high school girls and boys swim meets in season … We were able to limit it to the amount of lanes that they used in 2019. If they increase, then the pay a per-lane charge for that,” Pyne continued. “The City of Arvada is the other 50%. They would be the owner of the facility. The school district basically said they don’t want ownership … The city would have ownership much like they do now.”

Apex Board Vice President Ken Harrell expressed a desire to have the other two parties vote before November elections, which could usher in change to the school board and city council.

“I think we’ve got to get this to the school board before the board changes,” said Harrell. “And the city council Changes in November — get it done.”

15%, phased in over three years. The tax rate would jump 3 percentage points in 2022, and then an additional percentage point in 2023 and 2024.

The new taxes are estimated to raise more than $87 million next fiscal year, which starts July 2022. The new revenue would be exempt from state constitutional spending limits.

The measure would also annually divert roughly $20 million from the State Land Trust, which supports funding for public schools, to the State Public School Fund, with an equivalent amount going from the general fund to support the new program.

According to an analysis by nonpartisan legislative staff, the changes would mean less investment earnings in the state’s permanent fund by about $48 million over 10 years, including nearly $31 million that would otherwise go toward funding K-12 education. However, supporters point out that $20 million a year from the state land trust would result in a net increase in funding for public schools, above the lost potential revenue.

Proponents of Proposition 119 see the measure as a way to close the achievement gap by giving kids from low income families some of the same opportunities as kids who live in higher income households.

“There has been a longstanding opportunity gap in Colorado, and that was made worse in the pandemic,” said Curtis Hubbard, a Democratic consultant serving as spokesman for the campaign to support Proposition 119. “This is a targeted measure to

direct help for out of school learning opportunities to the kids who need them the most.”

Hubbard described the measure as a “targeted solution” to what he called “the opportunity gap,” only made worse by restrictions on in-school learning that were in place during the pandemic.

“We can’t wait to address the learning loss that occurred in the pandemic,” he said. “And we can make a difference in the lives of hundreds of thousands of kids who didn’t have access to tutors, or test prep, or laptops, or internet service or whose families speak a language other than English in the home who may have already been behind.”

Mike Johnston is a Democratic former state senator and the head of Gary Community Ventures, a publicbenefit corporation that has contributed nearly $1.5 million support of the measure. Though Gary does invest in for-profit companies, Johnston said Gary does not have any investments that would be providers for LEAP. Johnston said Coloradans have an obligation to address learning disparities in Colorado.

“The only way to really close that gap long term is to focus on all of the out-of-school and summer school learning opportunities that are driving those gaps in addition to what’s happening in K-12,” Johnston said.

“When you look at the opportunities that a lot of middle class or upper middle class kids have, whether it is for additional tutoring, whether it is for summer camp, whether it is for after school science programming, those are the things that both help kids catch up and keep up.”

tive education advocacy group Ready Colorado, which has given $325,000 to the campaign supporting Proposition 119.

“We’re really excited about LEAP because this program empowers parents to spend dollars how they see fit for their children,” Dickhoner said.

“Giving parents the ability to choose how to spend their dollars, whether it’s for math, tutoring, or piano lessons, or speech therapy is incredibly important to helping those kids thrive.”

The measure enjoys a slate of highprofile supporters on both sides of the aisle, including former governors Bill Ritter (a Democrat) and Bill Owens (a Republican), Democratic former Denver mayor Wellington Webb, Colorado state senators Bob Gardner (a Republican) and Rhonda Fields (a Democrat) and Democratic former U.S. Senator Mark Udall.

What opponents say Judy Solano is a Democratic former state representative and school teacher who is helping lead the opposition.

She also serves as chairwoman of the nonprofit group Advocates for Public Education Policy.

Solano sees the program as unnecessary and has concerns about giving public money to private providers, which could include for-profit companies, describing it as “a slippery slope.” She also wondered why the measure created a new agency to administer the program.

“If the people that were backing this really cared about having adequate funds for students, why would they create a whole new big agency that’s going to have administrative costs that we don’t really know?” she asked.

Perhaps the harshest critics of the program are a group called Taxpayers for Public Education, led by Cindy Barnard.

Barnard framed the measure as “basically a voucher initiative” that “creates another government bureaucracy that basically lacks complete accountability and transparency” and as a threat to public education funding. Like Solano, she thinks the money would be better used inside the public school system.

Barnard also suggested that the measure doesn’t do enough to prohibit discrimination by providers against students and fears religious providers would be able to deny services to LGBTQ youth.

Supporters disagree, pointing to language in the measure that states that the financial aid from the program must “be provided and administered in a manner that does not discriminate against any eligible child or youth, eligible child or youth’s family, provider, or learning opportunity on the basis of race, ethnicity, color, native language, religious affiliation, national origin, gender, military status, sexual orientation, gender variance, marital status, or physical or mental disability.”

The Colorado Parent Teacher Association also opposes the measure.

Similarly, the board of directors of the Colorado Association of School Boards voted to oppose Proposition 119.

The measure has also attracted critics from Colorado’s cannabis industry.

Colorado Leads, an association of marijuana companies in the state, opposes proposition 119 because of the increased taxes.

“This initiative imposes a regressive tax on people’s pain, especially veterans, teachers and the elderly who need cannabis for medicine but can’t get a medical card, and while local communities generate this tax, local school boards have no say over the education programs it pays for,” said Chuck Smith, CEO of BellRock Brands and board president of Colorado Leads. “If these ballot measures are so beneficial to all Coloradans, why aren’t other industries asked to pay their fair share of these taxes?”

Others in the industry suggest the increased tax rate could push people back into the black market, an objection Johnston dismissed. The practice of people buying marijuana off the street, he said, is “a bygone era” that people won’t go back to at this point.

The board of the state’s largest teachers union, the Colorado Education Association, couldn’t settle on whether to support or oppose the proposition, resulting in the CEA taking a neutral stance.

three additional weeks in a walking boot. Turns out, watching Hell Week results pour in while I iced and elevated was truly the most hellish Hell Week for me.

This year, my fifth running Hell Week, I finally found the right tone for the event: cautious optimism.

The result was some so-so runs on Monday (the Table Mountains), two stellar, PR runs on Thursday (Apex and Galbraith on Thursday), and one exhilarating, if not slightly foolish, risky but most rewarding night run up Lookout Mountain for a Friday finish. It was heaven and hell wrapped up in one shadowy, twisting, ankletesting passage.

And that led to the last, but perhaps most important, thing to know: A voyage through Hell Week deserves a cold brew from a local brewery. Personally, post-run beer is one of the best reasons to run.

You’re thirsty, I’m thirsty, we’ve earned it.

And so it was that on Friday, while enjoying a cold blueberry Kolsch at Mountain Toad, I first met Quinn Aaron, the “we” behind Golden Hell Week. The man behind the curtain, so to speak. He was totally laid-back and unassuming, and even a little geeky in the way that I and most trail runners are— number nerds who love competing against ourselves, comparing times, collecting data.

“I always tell people that I’m not really an event organizer, just a

data collector,” Quinn confirms.

And though it’s a statement clearly shrouded in modesty, I think I speak for all Hell Week runners when I say that he ought not to sell himself or the event short. Certainly, for the 115-plus participants and 105 finishers, of which I was one, its impact can’t be understated.

Because for the trail runner, true hell is having nowhere to run, nothing to inspire, no one to share your adventures with. And Golden Hell Week gives us all those things, plus community, camaraderie, and a whole helluva lot more.

Wheat Ridge softball plows to 4A Jeffco League title

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

GOLDEN — On Sept. 14, Wheat Ridge’s softball was in a bad spot.

The Farmers had suffered an 11-0 loss to Chatfield. The defeat left the perennial Class 4A powerhouse with a 3-11 record and amid a 10-game losing streak.

“The beginning of our season was definitely the hardest,” Wheat Ridge senior catcher Isabella Martinez said.

“In league we have definitely turned it on. We wanted to show how we can play as a young new team. Mentality everyone has turned it on and got it together.”

Fast-forward to Monday, Oct. 4, Wheat Ridge won its sixth straight 4A Jeffco League game with a 5-1 victory over rival Golden. The Farmers (11-12 record, 8-0 in league) and Demons (1112, 5-3) were tied atop the conference heading into the key league game.

“Playing a tough non-league schedule really prepped us going into league,” Wheat Ridge coach Dave Thies said. “Obviously D’Evelyn, Conifer and Golden are all pretty good teams. We have gotten more consistent and the girls are believing in what they can do.”

Monday’s win gave Wheat Ridge a 1-game lead for the race for the 4A Jeffco title with 2 games to play. The Farmers wrapped up the conference title with a win over Green Mountain (Oct. 6) and Standley Lake (Oct. 7) last week.

“It’s so crazy,” said Martinez, who added she is surprised the Farmers worked their way to the conference title. “Something has just clicked and here we are.”

Wheat Ridge junior pitcher Elizabeth Uhl has been a big part of the surging Farmers. Uhl was key against

Golden striking out a dozen while scattering four hits. She also had a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to give the Farmers a 2-0 lead.

“It’s my junior year and huge for college recruiting,” Uhl said. “I want to do everything I can for my team since we lost so many seniors (nine) to graduation. It’s a chance for my future and I want to win.”

Golden has had just about the same remarkable rebound after a rough start. The Demons started the season with a 3-9 record before going on an 8-game winning streak that came to an end with the loss to Wheat Ridge.

Freshman sensation Madeline Stubenrauch brought the Demons within 2-1 after her double and scoring on a Wheat Ridge fielding error in the bottom of the fourth inning.

However, Wheat Ridge’s bats really came alive late with a 3-run top of the seventh inning. After sophomore Maya Dalton was hit by pitch to leadoff the inning Aryanna Palfy, Aaliyah Arellano, Emeri Ortega and Martinez all had hits to extend the Farmers’ lead to 5-1.

“That was huge,” Martinez said of the Farmers’ 3-run top of the seventh inning. “I think if we would have made some adjustments earlier the score would have been different, but we made adjustments when we needed to.”

Uhl took to the mound with a little more confidence and swagger with a 4-run lead.

“I like to relax myself and dance a little bit,” Uhl said warming up before the start of the bottom of the seventh inning. “I feel more comfortable. I’m in the zone and that circle is my safe space.”

Ralston Valley shuts out Chatfield on the pitch

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — The most colorful cleats took the spotlight Tuesday, Oct. 5, at Lakewood Memorial Field.

Sporting his highlighter yellow Nike cleats … Ralston Valley sophomore Keegan Ulvedal scored the lone goal in a 1-0 victory for the Mustangs over Chatfield.

“It was a really good goal,” Ralston Valley coach Jamie Scarcliff said. “He kept it down. A lot of the time we shank that over the goal because they get excited and get under the ball. It was a great ball played by Kieran McCarron.”

Scarcliff added that she thought Ulvedal was a more dangerous offensive threat in the second half after the scoreless first half in the Class 5A Jeffco League game.

“We got the corner kick and I was the guy who was going up to press the keeper,” Ulvedal said of his SEE SOCCER, P33

D’Evelyn sophomore Taj Kumar hits his approach shot on his final hole of the Class 4A state tournament Oct. 5 at City Park Golf Course in Denver. Kumar had rounds of 80 and 85 during the two-day tournament to finish tied for 54th.

SOFTBALL FROM PAGE 27

Uhl struck out the first two Demon batters and a pop out to third base ended the game. The junior ace retired Golden in order in four of the seven innings.

“I told them we were going to go win league,” Thies said. “The heart and passion that we are seeing right now is helping out. It doesn’t hurt to have the pitcher that we have. She is one of the better pitchers in the state.”

Despite advancing to the 4A state

semifinals last season with a 17-2 record, the Farmers’ numbers went down so far this year that Wheat Ridge didn’t field a JV squad this Fall.

“Coming back to Wheat Ridge I was used to having big numbers,” said Thies, who was on the coaching staff when the Farmers won four state titles from 2008 to 2014. “It was an eye-opener to see a program take a step backwards. I’m staying here and dedicated to bring some talent and get the numbers back up.”

goal in the 44th minute. “The ball came up and I popped off. It was a free header in.”

Ralston Valley (7-6-1, 5-1-1 in league) got back to .500 overall as the Mustangs attempt to make the 32team 5A state tournament. Ralston Valley was sitting in the 36th spot in the RPI before the victory over Chatfield (7-5, 4-1).

“We are sitting kind of on the boarder right now,” Scarcliff said of the Mustangs’ postseason chances.

“We didn’t take care of some of our games earlier in the season with our non-league games. Playing Lakewood on Friday will be a big game for us.

We just have to take it one game at a time. Each game is important to put us as high as we can.”

Ralston Valley closes out its regular season against Bear Creek on Oct. 21 and then await its playoff fate.

“It wasn’t the prettiest win for us. We have struggled the past few games playing constantly and showing up for the full 80 minutes,” Scarcliff admitted. “We’ll take the goal.

We’ll take the win. They battled until the end.”

It was the first conference loss for Chatfield and ended a 4-game winning streak. The Chargers still have three league game remaining — Columbine, Lakewood and Valor Christian — over the next to weeks.

Women still behind in breast cancer screenings Doctors warn cases are worse when symptoms are ignored

Last year, Suzi McCumber was prepped for radiation treatment by Vicki Slat-Vasquez, clinical nurse at the Infusion Center at UCHealth Cancer Center-Highlands Ranch.

McCumber went through treatment for more than a year. Now, she has successfully moved on to taking a pill to keep breast cancer at bay.

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Just over two years after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer, Suzi McCumber continues to stress the importance of regular screenings.

If McCumber had not gotten the recommended mammogram and treatment, her doctors said there is no way she would have survived more than a year.

McCumber, a Littleton-area resident, has remained positive throughout her treatment process.

In high spirits, she happily reported that after more than a year of chemotherapy and radiation, she has moved on to the final stages of treatment, which is taking a pill for a few years to keep the cancer from coming back.

“I will continue to take this pill and do whatever the doctors tell me to do,” said the 67-year-old. “I just can’t stress enough how important it is for women to continue getting those screenings and tests. Sometimes you just do not know a lump is there. Sometimes you cannot feel it. I did not feel anything. The 3D mammogram found a mass all the way back in my pectoral muscle.”

Last year, while McCumber was receiving treatment, Dr. Radhika Acharya-Leon, section chief for medical oncology at UCHealth Highlands Ranch Hospital, said had McCumber not been persistent in finding a place to do the biopsy during a pandemic and move treatment forward, given the aggressive form of breast cancer she had, she would not have survived long.

Since 2020, Acharya-Leon said doctors have become increasingly concerned with how women were

putting off mammograms and recommended pap smears due to fear of catching COVID. With the nation coming through the second COVID wave caused by the delta variant, HealthOne Dr. Laura Hafertepen said the medical community’s concerns from last year are carrying over.

Because of the hesitancy to get screenings, Hafertepen said, when women are getting the original diagnosis the disease has already progressed to stages 2 or 3. With regular screenings, she said, doctors can catch cancer at stage 1 or zero. When breast cancer is caught in an early stage, Hafertepen said the prognosis and the treatment is a lot better.

Hafertepen said women are slowly getting back on track with mammograms and pap smears, but the pandemic has caused a backlog.

“We are still trying to make up for a significant dip from last year,” she said.

Hafertepen said it is not just a problem doctors along the Front Range are seeing — the problem is nationwide.

The Prevent Cancer Foundation,

a U.S.-based nonprofit organization, released the results of a survey in August where 2,003 women between the ages of 21 and 60 were surveyed.

According to the results, 90% of the women surveyed said when pandemic restrictions were lifted, they engaged in normal activities, such as visiting family and friends, dining out and shopping. Only 48% of women visited their doctors’ offices.

Hafertepen said besides the fear of COVID creating a hesitancy to get regular screenings, women traditionally tend to take care of everyone else and ignore their own needs.

Hafertepen said it is not uncommon for a woman to ignore a strange lump or discharge, which are both breast cancer symptoms that should be checked out immediately.

“When they finally come in about a mass or continued discharge, the results are worse,” she said. “If we had seen them six months ago when they first noticed the symptoms, the prognosis is much better.”

Hafertepen said a lot of women do not realize that they do not even need a doctor’s referral to get a regular screening mammogram

every year. The only time a referral is required is if there are symptoms present.

“If you feel something or notice something, go get it checked out.

Call your doctor immediately,” Hafertepen said.

According to the American Cancer Society, women should start getting annual mammograms at age 40.

Hafertepen said getting that first baseline reading at 40 is important for doctors to keep track of breast changes each year after.

That first breast exam can cause a lot of stress and anxiety, Hafertepen said.

“The anxiety is understandable, but you can truly get over that anxiety by just getting it done,” she said.

“If you do not do it, that anxiety will stay there lingering in the back of your mind.”

Women can call any of the variety of mammogram service providers along the metro area and make appointments. Centers such as Invision Sally Jobe even make getting a mammogram fit schedules for busy women. Appointments can be made on Saturdays and evenings.
