Mask mandate for indoor spaces in Jeffco 4-1 vote means mask requirement is back for most indoor locations

food-insecure individuals, seniors wanting to socialize and church members’ families.

Volunteer and church member Suzi Jennings said somewhat jokingly that half of the day’s volunteers were her children and grandchildren, commenting, “I told them that if they want a Thanksgiving meal, to come to the church.”

The help was certainly needed, as The Golden Mill donated large containers of turkey, mashed potatoes, green-bean casserole, rolls and macaroni and cheese. Church members provided the pies.

The Jefferson County Public Health department’s board voted 4-1 on Nov. 22 to pass a new health ordinance requiring people ages 3 and older, regardless of vaccination status, to wear masks when within public indoor spaces as a COVID-19 safety measure.

Boardmember Cheri Jahn was the one dissenting vote.

“This is (an) action that really should have been taken a while ago,” Board of Health Chair Greg Deranleau said during the video meeting, referencing guidelines from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that strongly recommend mask wearing in high-transmission areas.

The order took effect Nov. 24.

Current statistics on COVID-19 in Jeffco have not been good. As of Monday, there were 104 COVID-19 patients hospitalized in the county, with the rates of people hospitalized and of those testing positive for the virus on an upward trend.

The order is to remain in effect as long as Jeffco total cases and positive test result rates remain in the “High

Turkey Day Tag Team Local restaurant, church offer Thanksgiving feast for those in need

Warren Kennison has been attending the free Thursday lunches at the First United Methodist Church of Golden for 12 years — first as diner and now as a volunteer and church member.

But, this past Thursday’s meal was much bigger than he’s ever seen before.

On Nov. 25, The Golden Mill donated about 50 servings of traditional Thanksgiving dishes for the church to serve at its weekly free lunch for those in need.

Couple Michael McMahon and Patsy Robertson said they heard about the meal while participating in a safe-parking program at an Arvada church. In the few years the two have been homeless, this is the first time they’ve had a full Thanksgiving meal, Robertson said.

“We’re very thankful for that,” McMahon added.

Overall, the First United Methodist Church of Golden served about 40-50 people, including

Transmission” category as classified by the CDC: A 7-day average total new case per 100,000 people of at or greater than 100; as well as a COVID-19 test positivity rate of 10% or greater.

As of Nov. 18, Jeffco’s 7-day average rate of new cases per 100,000 was 370.95. The test positivity rate was also above 10%.

The health order says that if the county numbers get below those two benchmarks, and holds there for at least 21 days, that the restriction could lift.

The Jeffco public health order comes on the heels of a Nov. 14 order from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment mandating that anyone who attends certain public, indoor events with 500 or more people in Arapahoe, Jefferson, Adams, Denver and two other metro-Denver counties be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Adams, Arapahoe and Denver counties also passed similar mask mandates last week.

The Jeffco mask-wearing order reads, in part, that it is necessary “to control and reduce the spread of COVID-19 to prevent unnecessary deaths and serious illness, to maintain consistent health care capacity in Jefferson County, and to protect individuals who live, work, and play in (the county).”

Exceptions to wearing a mask can include: - People seated or actively eating or drinking at a bar or restaurant.

-The hearing-impaired or otherwise disabled who require an unobstructed mouth area to communicate.

- Performers or those leading religious services, or engaged in other similar activities, so long as they maintain at least 12 feet of distance from others.

- Individuals who are alone in an enclosed room or only with members of their same household in an enclosed room.

- Those swimming in a pool.

Jeffco’s public health order also allows for businesses to apply for Approved Fully Vaccinated Facility status. To achieve that status, business locations would need to require proof of full vaccination for

all employees, staff, guests, customers and all others entering the facility.

The members of the health board who cast their votes in favor of the new health measure acknowledged the dozens of people who signed up for public comment during the meeting, the vast majority of whom were strongly opposed to a mask mandate, even as those board members stressed its necessity.

“In all of this discussion ... there have been very few other solutions presented that can help slow this down,” boardmember Kimberley Krapek said.

Deranleau, the board chair, expressed some frustration, ending the meeting to note that he didn’t care for the personal nature of some of the ruder critical comments left in the meeting chat box.

“It is clear that many of people that showed up today are vehemently opposed to us taking action. I struggle with that,” Deranleau said.

He argued that the board not acting would likely result in more people getting sick, with the associated human and economic costs.

“Our businesses will suffer more if we do nothing,” he said.

It pays to shop for

Susan Ganter, who owns The Golden Mill at 1012 Ford St., said her staff stayed up several hours the night before to prep and cook all the food before delivering it to the church on Thanksgiving Day. Ganter said Chef Jesus Silva did something similar in Denver last Thanksgiving, helping to make 2,400 meals for two organizations. After The Golden Mill opened this April, Silva wanted to do something for the Golden community, she said.

Along with helping other nonprofit partners earlier this year, Ganter said that the Thanksgiving meal arrangement with the First United Methodist Church of Golden worked out perfectly.

“We wanted to provide, and they had the need,” she continued.

Both church members and Ganter said they’d like to continue the partnership, perhaps for next Thanksgiving or future Thursday meals.

“We’d love to see it grow,” Ganter continued. “Certainly, we know there’s a lot of need out there.”

Organizer and volunteer Jean Fivehouse said the church’sThursday lunch program, called Golden Community Table, serves a mix of seniors and the unsheltered. The church at 1500 Ford St. also has a safe-parking program, a weekly shower truck, haircuts, a clothing room and other resources for those in need.

Nonprofit BGOLDN and Golden Community Table had been serving sack lunches on Thursdays during the pandemic, but the church recently received permission to resume indoor meals, she said.

“We want people to know there’s a place for them to come and feel welcome,” she said of hosting the weekly lunches. “And the social aspect is important too. We don’t want them to feel alone.”

My Favorite Home Improvements When Purchasing a New-to-Me Home

This column is adapted from my July 18, 2019, column on the same topic.

Energy efficiency is very important to Rita and me, so the first thing we do is pay for an energy audit to identify opportunities for making the home more air-tight.

One result of that test would likely be to blow more insulation into walls or ceilings and to caulk around windows. It might also include installing an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) to bring fresh air into the home using a heat exchanger that warms outside air in the winter and cools outside air in the summer.

I love bringing sunlight into a home, with sun tunnels. Rita and I had Mark Lundquist of Design Skylights install a Velux sun tunnel in our windowless garage and another one in our windowless laundry room. We love them!

Speaking of sunlight, we replaced

every light bulb in our home with LEDs which are “daylight” color.

Installing solar photovoltaic panels is a no-brainer for us, especially now that the cost has dropped so much. Your roof doesn’t have to face due south. Southeast and southwest are good enough. Since everyone will be driving an electric car eventually, install as much solar PV as Xcel Energy allows to cover that future load.

Don’t you hate climbing a curb to enter your driveway? Developers install mountable curbs the entire length of the streets in new subdivisions, not knowing exactly where each driveway will be. One of the first things we did at my home was to replace the mountable curb with a smooth entrance. It cost over $2,000 for my 3-car-wide driveway, but we love it every time we enter from the street!

needs replacing, consider replacing it with a heat-pump furnace. And when your gas water heater needs replacing, I recommend buying a heat-pump water heater. We bought a 50-gallon Rheem unit for $1,200, but it came with a $400 rebate. Once you’ve replaced both, you will have eliminated the most common sources of carbon monoxide poisoning in

your home.

Other improvements I’d consider include: Replacing any bathroom carpeting with ceramic or porcelain tile; replacing regular glass with Low-E glass on south-facing windows; replacing fluorescent fixtures (such as in a garage) with flush-mount LED panels sold at Lowes for about $100. Love ’em!

Electric Cars Are Your Best Cold Weather Choice

It’s that time of year when I like to remind readers about the advantages of electric vehicles (EVs) in cold weather.

Here’s what you need to know.

1) No warming up is needed. Put the car in Drive and go! Also, the cabin will be warm within 1/2 mile because it doesn’t require an engine to warm up first. In my Tesla I can turn on the heat with my phone app a few minutes earlier so the cabin, steering wheel and seat are all warm when I get in the car. Also, I can leave the heater on when I park the car so it’s warm when I return, if I am just going into a store for a short time. (I do the same thing on hot summer days, so it stays cool!)

2) Your car will never break down, stranding you in a freezing car on the side of the road. The only time you see

an EV on the side of the road is if there’s a flat tire or an accident. Stuck in a snow drift? The heater will keep you warm as long as you need, consuming only 3-5 miles of range per hour — and producing no carbon monoxide!

3) Because of its low center of gravity, an EV handles snow-covered roads great — better than any car I’ve owned.

4) Used EVs are your best buy. The older (pre-2018) Tesla Models S & X are a great buy because most come with transferrable lifetime free supercharging coast-to-coast when purchased privately, not as Certified Pre-Owned from Tesla. Ask before buying.

5) There are federal and state tax credits and various rebates to be had.

See the following website for a full list: www.electricforall.org/rebates-incentives

We and Our Truck Go the Extra Mile for Our Clients!

Our clients have put a lot of miles on this box truck, saving them thousands of dollars on moving costs. They also get free moving boxes, packing paper and bubble wrap. They only pay for the gas used. The truck is also used twice a week by BGoldN to pick up food from Food Bank of the Rockies and by other non-profits, including Family Promise of Metro Denver and the Golden Chamber of Commerce. We also use it ourselves every couple weeks to take truckloads of polystyrene (aka “Styrofoam”) to a reprocessing center in Aurora, keeping over 200 cubic yards of the material out of landfills every year. People from all over Jefferson County (and beyond) bring their block white polystyrene to the Styrofoam Corral at 17595 S. Golden Road, where our truck will still be parked following this week’s move to 1214 Washington Ave.

Veteran news leader named Colorado Community Media editor STAFF REPORT

The next editor-in-chief of Colorado Community Media is Lisa Schlichtman, an experienced, award-winning news executive and an industry leader.

CCM Publisher Linda Shapley made the announcement Nov. 29.

“I’ve been familiar with Lisa’s award-winning leadership for a number of years, and to have someone with her passion and talent guiding our journalists at Colorado Community Media will mean great things as we look to grow our brand,” she said.

Schlichtman, until recently the editor of the Steamboat Pilot & Today newspaper, joins CCM on Jan. 3.

“I am thrilled to join Colorado Community Media and take on the new role of editor-in-chief,” Schlichtman said. “I look forward to sharing my years of experience in the newspaper industry with CCM’s talented team of reporters and editors with the goal of connecting the communities we serve through engaging, locally-focused content and impactful journalism.”

Schlichtman will lead the news teams of CCM’s two dozen Colorado newspapers and websites as well as other publications. CCM was sold earlier this year by Jerry and Ann Healey to The Colorado News Conservancy, a partnership of The Colorado Sun and the National Trust for Local News dedicated to fostering community journalism.

CCM newspapers serve Adams, Arapahoe, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Jefferson and Weld

counties.

“Our publications have tremendous potential and reach, and it is exciting to be part of the newly established Colorado News Conservancy,” Schlichtman said.

Schlichtman succeeds Mark Harden, who retired as CCM editor last fall but has been serving on an interim basis since July while the search was underway for a permanent editor.

Harden steps down Dec. 16.

“Lisa is just the sort of dynamic, innovative, experienced news leader who can help CCM reach its greatest potential,” Harden said. “I am so pleased she has agreed to join us and I wish her great success.”

Since July 2013, Schlichtman has been editor of the Pilot & Today, a daily newspaper founded in 1885 and serving Steamboat Springs and Routt County.

Schlichtman and her staff received the Colorado Press Association’s 2020 News Leader of the Year award for a multiplatform, in-depth reporting series, “Indivisible,” which focused on issues of diversity, equity and inclusion in Routt County and efforts to bridge divides. CPA named the Pilot & Today the state’s best newspaper in its size class for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019. And the newspaper under Schlichtman also received the 2019 Presidential Award from the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance for its eight-week “In Our Shoes” series on sexual assault.

Schlichtman previously was an editor, co-publisher and co-owner of various publications in Mis-

‘I am thrilled to join Colorado Community Media and take on the new role of editor-in-chief.’

Lisa Schlichtman, Colorado Community Media editor-in-chief souri, including the Monnett Times, Cassville Democrat and Wheaton Journal newspapers as well as Ozarks Outdoors and Connection magazines.

She began her career as a reporter and assistant editor at the Cassville newspaper.

In addition to her professional career, Schlichtman has been active in helping to support journalism and the news industry.

She is a past president of the Colorado Press Association, the statewide news-media trade group, and is a board member of the Colorado News Collaborative, or COLab, a Denverbased organization that serves as a local media resource hub. Previously she was a vice president and secretary of the Ozarks Press Association.

Schlichtman also has been engaged in community roles. She is a graduate of the 2014 Leadership Steamboat class, a past chairperson of the Cassville Planning and Zoning Commission, and a past board member of the Cassville and Monett Area Chambers

of Commerce.

A St. Louis native, Schlichtman holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of MissouriColumbia. She and her late husband, Mike, have two grown sons who live on the Front Range.

Colorado Gives Day is Dec. 7

GOP candidates stump for anti-vax protesters Jeffco Public Health order sparks defiance

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

How your favorite nonprofit can benefit even more from your donation

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Billed as one of the largest one-day giving movements in the country, the eleventh annual Colorado Gives Day will take place Tuesday, Dec. 7.

Since 2010, Coloradans who donate to the nonprofit of their choice on Colorado Gives Day help that organization receive additional funds through the Commuity First Foundation and First Bank.

This year, more than 3,000 participating nonprofit organizations will receive part of a $1+ million incentive fund when they receive a donation.

According to ColoradoGives.org, Colorado Gives Day has grown to be the state’s largest one-day online giving event, raising more than $307 million since its inception.

Hundreds of organizations in Evergreen, Clear Creek, Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, Golden, South Jefferson County and more are participating in this year’s event.

Dozens of causes will be represented. The Lakewood Symphony, 40 West Arts, Wheat Ridge Community Foundation, Historic Elitch Gardens Theatre Foundation, Golden Civic Foundation, Golden Backpack Program, Outpaws, and the Limb Preservation Foundation are just a few of the Jeffco nonprofits that can benefit from donations.

To donate, visit coloradogives.org and search by keyword, location or cause to find a participating nonprofit you’d like to support.

Hours before Jefferson County Public Health passed its latest health order requiring masks to be worn in public places by those 3-years and older, a large crowd gathered in the JCPH parking lot to protest the measure.

The proposed COVID-related regulations (approved later that day on a 4-1 vote) drew the ire of those in attendance, and several GOP political hopefuls were on-hand, looking for likeminded voters to support them next November.

Laurel Imer, a GOP challenger for the Colorado District 7 congressional seat currently held

by Rep. Ed Perlmutter, kicked things off saying the Jeffco Public Health Order (PHO) is “a 12page, basically, communist manifesto,” and that if you actually read the order, the intent of it is dagerous to small businsses, individuals and children.

“Where are the county commissioners?” Imer asked. “They’re the only ones who are responsible for what happens in this county and they’re non-existent. These (Board of Health members) are unelected bureaucrats that do not have the authority to implement anything.”

Greg Lopez and Danielle Neuschwanger, both running for governor, also stumped for the enthusiastic crowd between speeches from local workers and chants of “Let’s go Brandon,” (a right-wing euphemism for f*** Joe Biden).

Debbie Bandimere said her family business, Bandimere Speedway, will not comply with the PHO, although as an outdoor venue it is unclear how they would be impacted by an indoor mask order.

One man in the crowd displayed a sign com-

paring “liberal” COVID restrictions to Nazism, while a self-described lawyer explained how he will bring a case resulting in treason investigations for those implementing the health order.

Jeffco’s Public Health Order (JCPHO) 21-006 was debated for several hours during the Nov. 22 Board of Health meeting and was passed by a 4-1 vote at 6:40 p.m. The order took effect on Nov. 24.

“The intent of this Order shall be to control and reduce the spread of COVID-19 to prevent unnecessary deaths and serious illness, to maintain consistent health care capacity in Jefferson County, and to protect individuals who live, work and play in Jefferson County,” it read.

The order goes on to say that as of Nov. 18, the CDC identified Jefferson County as an area with high transmission, with a 7-day new COVID-19 case rate of 370.92 per 100,000.

Jeffco teacher honored for blood drive work Dakota Ridge educator has spent decades doing what’s necessary to help save others

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Amy Ziegler, Dakota Ridge High School physical education teacher, was honored for more than two decades organizing blood drives at COURTESY OF BROOKE WAY the school.

Dakota Ridge High School physical education teacher Amy Ziegler was inducted into the Fresenius Kabi Blood Donation Hall of Fame on Nov. 15 for her dedication to organizing blood drives at the school for the past 22 years.

Ziegler was presented her award by Fresenius Kabi representative Joe Berry, Vitalant (formerly Bonfils) Mountain Division vice president Anne Burtchaell and Dakota Ridge principal Jim Jelinek.

Brooke Way, communications manager, Vitalant, said the pandemic continues to impact the number of people donating blood.

In Colorado, the pandemic has forced 539 blood drives to cancel this year alone, resulting in more than 13,000 uncollected units of blood, Way said. And blood drives hosted across Colorado account for about 60-percent of what Vitalant collects for patients every day.

“Amy did not hesitate to advocate for the importance of blood donations during this difficult time,” Way said. “She worked with her administration to allow Vitalant to organize an in-school drive when many schools were learning remotely. She even gave ‘extra credit’ to students in her class to donate. If students could not donate themselves, they could get extra credit in class by having a friend or family donate blood on their behalf.”

Way said thanks to Ziegler’s efforts, a total of 1,350 units of blood have been collected from staff, students and families of Dakota Ridge High School and thousands of lives have been saved because of it.

Visit vitalant.org to learn more about blood donation or schedule a time to donate.

Third suspect arrested in Gail Wilson case Body of 81-year-old victim still hasn’t been found STAFF REPORT

On Nov. 18, Lakewood Police Department Detectives arrested 21-year-old Jay Sean Griffith in connection with the suspected homicide of Gail Wilson. Griffith is currently

being held at the Jefferson County Jail on suspicion of Tampering with a Deceased Body and Accessory to First-Degree Murder.

Wilson, 81, was last seen leaving his Lakewood home Oct. 31, at approximately 3 p.m., driving his 1997 red Ford F-150. On Nov. 5, Wilson’s truck was recovered in an area northwest of I-25 and Colfax Avenue in Denver.

Two other suspects, Ricardo Gon-

zalez Perez and Savannah Nicole Wilson — Gail Wilson’s daughter — were arrested in early November.

Gonzalez Perez is being held on suspicion of First-Degree Murder.

Savannah is being held on suspicion of Accessory to First-Degree Murder.

Traffic surveillance cameras captured images of Gail’s pickup truck at various locations in the metro area with a large piece of rolled-up

carpet and black plastic garbage bags in the bed of the truck. Those items were never recovered.

Gail is described as a white male 5’6” tall, weighing 180 pounds, with grey hair and hazel eyes.

Lakewood Police are not releasing any further information about the case at this time, but are asking potential witnesses who may have seen his truck on or after Oct. 31 to call the tip line at 303-763-6800.

Youngfield Construction Fire Still Under Investigation

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Firefighters work to put out a blaze at Applewood Village, a luxury townhome COURTESY OF WEST METRO FIRE RESCUE project at 21st Avenue and Youngfield Street.

Eight days after a fire destroyed part of the Applewood Village luxury townhome project, the cause of the fire is still under investigation, according to Ronda Scholting, spokesperson for West Metro Fire Rescue.

WMFR responded to the fire in the early morning hours of Nov. 15, gaining control of the blaze within 45 minutes of arriving on scene. Arvada Fire Protection District assisted in the effort to combat the fire.

At least three units under construction were destroyed, with an estimated $2 million in damage sustained.

The fire was so hot that it melted shutters on a house across the street, according to WMFR. The townhomes, originally scheduled to be completed in 2021, are billed as an urban community development of gorgeous townhome/villas and “a thoughtfully planned community within a community.”

Information on the listing agent’s website says the units will offer private rooftop decks, foothill views and electric car charging stations in garages.

Thirty-one units were originally planned for the development with pre-construction pricing for the first phase of development ranging between $569,000 and $614,000.

Wheat Ridge launches neighborhood engagement program Anderson Park and Fruitdale neighbors encouraged to participate STAFF REPORT

The city of Wheat Ridge has launched two new neighborhoods in the Let’s Talk Resident Engagement Program, Anderson Park and Fruitdale.

The city is currently reaching out to both areas with a survey to capture residents’ sentiments about their neighborhood. The city plans

The engagement program is intended to be used across 10 neighborhood areas around the city. Four Wheat Ridge neighborhoods have already undergone the Let’s Talk survey process, includ-

ing Bel Aire, East Wheat Ridge, Leppla Manor and Applewood. The city’s press release indicates that the remaining neighborhoods will be addressed two at a time for the next two years.

After these “four-five month engagement blitzes” are held for each community, the city will update the program work plan for each area, based on the survey results.

More than 900 residents provided feedback on the first four neighborhoods. The input and recommendations gathered in those first four neighborhoods are available on What’sUpWheatRidge.com.

The NRS is a citywide policy document that reflects a year of robust community input from more than 1,000 residents. The primary recommendation was for the city to conduct focused engagement of residents at the neighborhood level which has evolved to become the Let’s Talk program focused on Wheat Ridge neighborhoods

VOICES

In the spirit of the season of giving and receiving T

H

ere we are in another season of giving and receiving.

The truth is that we are always in a season of giving and receiving, this time of year WINNING just amplifies the WORDS spirit of both.

And we have all heard that it is far better to give than it is to receive.

This may be true, but there are times when it is equally awesome to receive.

Michael Norton Giving comes in many ways.

We can give in the form of money, resources and time. We can give gifts and presents. We can give back to a cause or community, or maybe we can give back to a person or family who had helped us out when we needed it. We can give through charities and organizations. Many

R

companies, houses of worship, and other organizations have “Giving Trees” where we can choose to help people and families in need. And we can do all our giving, no matter what it may be, silently and anonymously.

What’s it like to be on the receiving end of gifting? For many of us, no matter where we find ourselves today, we have been in a position of need. We may have had a difficult season of life. We may have endured a tragedy or hardship. There may have been a time when unexpectedly we found ourselves out of work.

Or we may have had an illness or injury that left us unable to care for ourselves or a loved one. Many of us who can relate to any of these situations, when someone stepped up to help, know just how humbling receiving can feel.

Think of the greatest gift that we have ever received. Maybe it’s the nicest and most expensive, but something tells me it’s not.

More than likely, if we give it some deeper thought, we will remember the time our in-laws loaned us a few dollars to cover our mortgage.

Or our neighbors stepped up and purchased our groceries. Maybe it was a time when each friend cooked a meal for us as we balanced being with our spouse in the hospital and taking care of our children. The gift could have been an introduction to an executive who had a job opening at a time when we needed work. The gift could have simply been a hug, a night out with a close friend, some overdue laughs over coffee or a beer.

Being on the receiving end of a gift is humbling. Sometimes, if we let it, it could be embarrassing. This is where I hope to change our thinking about that as there is no shame in accepting any form of help. You see, in the last paragraph where I listed the types of gifts we could receive, each one of those is an example of a gift I have received in my own life. A gift that came at just the

right time. Some came from family, some came from friends, and some came from strangers. And all were received with humble gratitude.

This holiday season, I encourage us to give the gift of giving and receiving. There are so many opportunities right in front of us to give of our money, resources, time and talents. And should we find ourselves in the need of a hand up, or a little or a lot of help, let us receive it gratefully and humbly, without reservation or shame. Let’s receive it all in the spirit of love in which it is being given.

As a way of giving back, each year I offer free keynote speeches on the topics I cover in this column throughout the year; Winning Words; Hope and Encouragement; Motivation and Inspiration. If your organization or company would benefit from such a talk, please let me know. And if you would like to SEE NORTON, P15

This GOP candidate has a shot at statewide office

ecently I received an unexpected call from Pam Anderson, an announced candidate for Colorado secretary of state. As friends GUEST for more than 15 COLUMN years, it was good to catch up. It was even better to thank her for running.

Anderson is exactly the kind of secretary of state Colorado needs and deserves.

Mario Nicolais Previously a municipal clerk, a Jefferson County clerk and recorder and a former executive director for the Colorado County Clerks Association, Anderson has an unparalleled depth of experience and expertise. For more than a decade she has led the charge to provide safe, accessible ballots to Coloradans.

She is also likely the best hope for Republicans searching for a shred of relevance in state government.

At the top of the ticket, party regulars understand their gubernatorial front-runner, Heidi Ganahl, has little chance to topple Gov. Jared Polis next November.

Anderson is also well inoculated from some of the most effective attacks favored by Democrats.

Jeffco A publication of

Call first: 14143 Denver West Pkwy., Suite 100, Golden 80401, 303-566-4100 Mailing Address: 750 W. Hampden Ave., Suite 225 Englewood, CO 80110 Phone: 303-566-4100 Web: LakewoodSentinel.com To subscribe call 303-566-4100

Namely, she is effectively immune from being labeled as a de facto proponent of the Big Lie — false claims about Donald Trump winning the 2020 election — or as an opponent of voting rights.

To the contrary, last December Anderson both stated that the election results were valid and testified at the state legislature that they were free from fraud. She did not waver from that position even as she kicked off her campaign.

That is notable for a Republican seeking to oversee elections. It demonstrates character and integrity.

And it could be a big help next fall.

Beating back false narratives about election fraud requires bipartisan advocacy.

While Democrats are expected to take that position, it is uncommon in Republican circles. Consequently, it is relatively more useful and important to elect members of the GOP willing to stick their necks out.

It also is not a surprise for anyone familiar with Anderson’s career.

She has always been willing to put what is right before what is politically beneficial.

During Republican former Secretary of State Scott Gessler’s term in office, she publicly disagreed with him on multiple matters, including his assertions of rampant voter

fraud.

She became a leading advocate for universal mail ballots in 2013, helping to pass legislation that made Colorado a model for other states.

Yet she also pushed for accountability and transparency through ballot audit programs.

Anderson likely learned such independence from people like her mother-in-law, former Colorado Senate Majority Leader Norma Anderson. Hopefully she learned how to win a rough-and-tumble campaign as well.

Despite her sterling qualifications, Anderson will have an uphill battle. Incumbent Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold will be even more formidable than she was when she unseated former Secretary Wayne Williams four years ago.

Griswold has been the most partisan secretary in recent memory.

She has used her office to garner national cameos on liberal talk shows and advocate against issues in other states nongermane to her duties.

But that approach has helped her to gain a significant social media following, a national fundraising base and more than a million dollars in her campaign coffers.

Griswold will be hard to beat, even for an eminently qualified candidate like Anderson.

But it is not impossible. While other candidates on the ticket may be tilting at windmills, there is a g legitimate path to victory for Ant derson. With Trump out of office, t Griswold cannot rely on an energet- A ic base. To the contrary, Anderson may get a boost from the midterm election.

Furthermore, Griswold has seen unprecedented turnover in her office over the past three years. That is the kind of red flag that may worry voters.

I am sure that there will be plenty of twists and turns for Anderson over the next 12 months. But if Colorado is lucky, at this time next year she will be preparing to take office rather than calling to catch up with people like me.

Changing lines mean state government changes

T

he times they are a-changin’. More precisely, the lines they are a-changin’.

Redistricting and reapportionment have upended much of Jefferson County, especially the mountain area. After the 2022 election, we will no longer be represented by Congressman Joe Neguse, State Sen. Tammy Story nor State Rep. Lisa Cutter.

The last four years have been sweet for us Democrats, with such fine people serving us so well.

They have embraced our issues, particularly fire mitigation, and worked hard to stay in touch with their constituents.

These changes have come about because of constitutional requirements to redraw legislative and congressional district boundaries based on the decennial census.

Voters passed two constitutional amendments in 2018 that created two commissions to do this job, one for congressional districts and another for the state legislature.

The commissioners were chosen from a pool of applicants in a complicated process, and four Democrats, four Republicans and four unaffiliated voters were ultimately

appointed to each one. They held numerous public meetings seeking input on maps created by nonpartisan staff.

Earlier this month, their final maps were approved by the State Supreme Court, Linda Rockwell which found they met the mandated criteria for compactness and competitiveness.

The Supreme Court may be happy, but many Jeffco Democrats are not. Sen. Story, who lives west of Evergreen Meadows, is only a mile and a half from the undulating boundary of a new, strongly Republican district that includes seven rural mountain counties to the south.

Lisa Cutter was cut out of House District 25 by less than a mile.

She is now in the same district as Lakewood’s Kerry Tipper. Senators Pettersen and Danielson were also drawn into the same district.

I’m hesitant to cry foul, but if someone had consciously tried to

dilute the power of Jeffco’s Democratic women, they couldn’t have done a better job.

Sen. Story tells me that women’s strong presence in the legislature “has done transformational things.” Some legislation that might not have been proposed without women leading the way were bills regarding equal pay for equal work, paid family leave and universal pre-school.

Rep. Cutter is equally proud of her work on environmental issues, particularly recycling and fire mitigation. She has embraced the opportunity to make a real difference, but what she’ll miss the most are the people she has come to know in the mountain communities.

All is not lost, however. Almost all of Jefferson County is now in Congressional District 7, which has long been represented by Ed Perlmutter. He is favored to win in this newly drawn district, which includes six mountain counties to the south.

It’s also highly likely that a Democrat will prevail in the new Senate District 20, which extends north from the Evergreen area to

the Boulder County line and east to Wadsworth Blvd in the south.

Evergreen remains in House District 25, which is now all of Jeffco south of Interstate 70 and west of C-470. The current HD 22 representative, a Republican, lives in the new HD 25, but even if he runs, he could lose to a Democrat with strong ties to the community.

As I write, my friends are abuzz with speculation about who will do what, or not, in the coming year. It will be awhile until everything gets sorted out, but I have confidence that the combination of good public policy and hard work will lead Democrats to victories again in 2022.

Change is hard for most of us, but as we know from our personal lives, it can create new opportunities and better outcomes in the long run.

Linda Rockwell moved to Evergreen with her family in 1982. She got involved in local land-use issues in 1984 and in the Democratic Party a few years later. She served as chair of the Jeffco Democrats from 1993 to 1997. Good government and principled politics remain her passion.

Cherry Creek North Holiday Market connects community vendors, seasonal shoppers

endors at this year’s Cherry Creek North Holiday Market are excited to have conversations with people and help shoppers find the perfect gift.

“People like to support local businesses,” said Erik Swanson, owner and founder of The Log Candle. “Especially when it’s something that somebody made out of their garage.”

The Log Candle is a unique item that Swanson came about through what he called a “happy accident.” Swanson has a background in graphic design, but enjoyed dabbling in woodworking as a hobby. He set out to make a birdhouse in the late spring of 2020, and by June that year, he ended up creating his Log Candle.

Swanson later left his cubicle job and started making the Log Candles full time — selling them at the Mile High Flea Market and outdoor arts-and-crafts markets throughout the metro area.

“People seem to really enjoy them,” Swanson said. “It’s something they have never seen before.”

The Log Candle is, like it sounds, a candle made out of a small log. The logs come from local tree trimmers, Swanson said. When wax is added, it feeds the flame, which spreads across the top, creating the candle effect. It

is meant for outdoor use, and people have enjoyed them for their patios, balconies and porches, Swanson said, adding that some people have even taken them on camping trips.

Swanson, of Englewood, is one 30 vendors at this year’s Cherry Creek North Holiday Market, and many of the 30 are local crafters/artisans or small business owners.

The market, produced by Fetch Concepts and now in its second year, opened on Nov. 18 and runs through Dec. 24. It is located on Fillmore Street between First and Second Avenues.

A family business Madison Stewart’s sons are tending House of Stewart’s booth at the market this year.

“They like the fun atmosphere” of the holiday market, she said, “and that people like tasting the candies.”

The House of Stewart makes traditional Scottish candies. This includes caramels and the Scottish tablet, which isn’t found in the U.S., except for rare occasions such as world markets, said Stewart, owner and founder of the Denver-based business.

The House of Stewart got its start in May 2016. Stewart is an Army veteran and went to law school — the only baking she did was on the weekends for her family.

“I never imagined a career in the candy business,” Stewart said.

However, she frequently traveled back-and-

‘It’s fantastic not working in a cubicle anymore.’

Erik Swanson, owner and founder of The Log Candle

forth to Scotland on leisure trips and enjoyed the Scottish candies so much that she would bring back as many that she could.

“Then I decided that other Americans would probably enjoy the candies as well,” Stewart said.

Today, House of Stewart candies and confections ship across the U.S., and Stewart is looking to open a storefront in Las Vegas early 2022.

People enjoy the candies and fancy packaging, which is catered to adults, Stewart said.

The candies are great for parties or gifts — “And for yourself,” Stewart said. “If you’ve had a hard day and want to treat yourself, why wait for a special occasion?”

Enter the Benchmark Theatre, which is staging Clarke Reader a production of “Meteor Shower,” written by comedy legend Steve Martin. The regional premiere of the show runs at the theater, 1560 Teller St. in Lakewood, through Saturday, Dec. 18. Performances are at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Audience members 12 years old and older must be fully vaccinated or show a negative COVID-19 test no more than 72 hours old.

Directed by resident guest director Warren Sherrill, the show follows Corky and Norm, who are hosting Gerald and Laura in their home outside of Los Angeles to watch a once-in-a-lifetime meteor shower.

Since Martin is behind the show, what ensues is wild and hilarious journey. We spoke to Sherrill about the play and what makes it the right fit for the season.

Interview edited for brevity and clarity.

MARKET FROM PAGE 16

Much more to ‘wander’ about The Holiday Market is part of Cherry Creek North’s Winter Wanderland, which offers a variety of free, festive activities for the entire family. The Winter Wanderland Light Walk features Cherry Creek North’s 600 trees adorned with nearly a million lights.

Another not-to-miss attraction is the U.S. debut of the Creos company’s “domino effect,” created by Ingrid Ingrid and located at Third Avenue and Milwaukee Street.

Creos is a Canadian company that presents touring interactive installations. The interactive and musical traveling art installment came to Cherry Creek North from Montreal, and will only be in Denver until Dec. 31.

“We want to provide a place for our community to create lasting memories they return to year after year,” said Nick LeMasters, president and CEO of the Cherry Creek North Business Improvement District, in a news release.

“This event has grown into an incredible opportunity for families to feel the glow of the holidays around every corner in Cherry Creek North.”

Something unique and interesting to be found The walkable Cherry Creek

Tell me about “Meteor Shower” and what it’s about?

All you have to do is mention who wrote Meteor Shower and you know right away what kind of ride you’re in for. It’s a hilarious, somewhat absurd comedy about marriage and the choices we make to keep that marriage strong. Challenges to marriage are common, but how we choose to deal with them can make all the difference, whether we face them alone or as a team. On top of that, the play bounces back and forth in time as if this meteor shower has something to do with the bending of reality and time.

Ultimately, it’s a “wild and crazy” night.

Why was this selected as the holiday show?

Benchmark is mostly known for putting on thought-provoking shows with strong messages and this season is no different. But this show was chosen to offset these heavier shows with something that is just plain silly and fun. And who can’t use some silly fun, right now. The holidays are a perfect time for this show.

What makes the show unique?

I think Martin’s special brand of humor makes this show unique.

There’s really no one who can achieve just utter goofiness like he can but still carry an interesting arch with a smart plot.

What do you most want people who see the show to come away with?

I just want people to have a smile

on their faces. This play is the sort of medicine we need right now (other than our vaccinations!) to help us escape and just laugh a little, or a lot. The message of the play isn’t deep but the experience is.

Museum shares works of Americans in France Paintings from 1855-1913 on display at Denver Art Museum

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Whistler to Cassatt: American Painters in France,” now open at the Denver Art Museum through March 13, includes more than 100 paintings created between 1855 and 1913 by American painters, some who studied in official and private academies and some who roamed the city and countryside, painting images.

In preceding years, according to Curator Emeritus Timothy Standring, there was a focus on how paintings were done, consideration of the academic technique of the work, but by the period covered, concern had moved to what the painting said about a subject. Controversy still existed over what was most important in a work of art ...

(As it does today!)

This exhibit is an absolute pleasure to contemplate for the lush colors in art that pop against deeply toned walls. Take a deep breath and start walking. Art is hung “salon style,” with a mix of sizes and subjects rather than with all in a neat row. “Do you know how brave it is to tell lenders that work will be hung salon style?” Standring commented.

At the turn of the century, Paris was the center of the art world and acceptance in the Salon (started in 1775) was a goal for artists from France, America and elsewhere.

James McNeill Whistler, John Singer Sargent and Mary Cassatt were among the Americans who arrived to study.

considers to be her finest work.

A gallery is dedicated to Whistler, illustrating his many different approaches to painting. He began his time in France with study in the atelier of Swiss-born artist Charles Gleyre and works exhibited here include “The Coast of Brittany (Alone With the Tide)” (1861), “Blue and Silver, Dieppe,” (1880-85), “The Sea, Pourville” (1899) and “The Beach at Marseilles” (1901).

Sargent’s paintings are important to the period and this exhibit shows preliminary studies he painted prior to completing the well-known “Fishing for Oysters at Cancale” (1877).

We have in recent years enjoyed a major exhibit of Sargent’s works at the Denver Art Museum, but it’s good to recognize his involvement with these other painters as well.

It was a rich period that carried through in subsequent examples of American art.

An American group, known as “The Ten,” included William Merritt Chase, J. Alden Weir, Frank Benson,

Edmund C. Tarbell, Thomas D. Ewing and Robert Lewis Reid. Their work was not immediately met with enthusiasm in America, but they persisted.

A second wave of American artists also included in this large exhibit were members of a group called “The Eight” (1907) and included Robert Henri, William Glackens, Maurice Prendergast, Arthur B. Davies and Arthur Dove.

For visitors who want to know more, there is a beautiful large (200page) catalog, which visitors may want to consider purchasing (but not carry around while enjoying the exhibit!).

A COVID head-scratcher: Why lice lurk despite distancing Head lice are ‘definitely back,’ says a professional delouser

Professional delouser Linda Holmes’ tools of choice for nitpicking her customers’ heads are extra-virgin olive oil and a set of fine-toothed combs.

The Marker family of Parker opened their door on a recent evening to a woman dressed in purple, with a military attitude to cleanliness.

Linda Holmes, who has worked as a technician with LiceDoctors for five years, came straight from her day job at a hospital after she got the call from a dispatcher that the Marker family needed her ASAP. According to those in the world of professional nitpicking, Pediculus humanus capitis, the muchscorned head louse, has returned.

“It’s definitely back,” said Kelli Boswell, owner of Lice & Easy, an Arvada boutique where people in the Denver area can get deloused, a process that can range from minutes to hours depending on the method and the infestation. “It’s a sign that things are coming back to normal.”

Colds and more serious bugs like respiratory syncytial virus, better known by the shorthand RSV, are also back. That may leave some to wonder: With all the covid prevention measures in place, how are kids sharing these things?

Like the coronavirus, all these bugs depend on human sociability.

Unfortunately, the measures that many reopened schools have taken to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 — masks, hand-washing, vaccination — do little to deter the spread of the head louse.

However, physical distancing, such as spacing desks 3 feet apart, should be helping, if it’s actually happening.

Lice are, in theory, harder to spread than the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 because proximity alone isn’t enough: They usually need head-to-head contact.

If a kid gets lice, odds are it means that kid spent some quality time close enough to another kid for the parasite to make its move. (Researchers tend to agree that transmission via inanimate objects like combs and hats is minimal.)

The head louse is not known for its fortitude or athletic prowess.

It’s basically the couch potato of pests. Adults can’t survive more than a day or two without snacking on blood. Their eggs can’t hatch without the warmth of a human head, and will die within about a week if not in those cozy conditions. The bugs can’t jump or fly — only crawl. The one thing going for the head louse is its highly specialized claws, evolved to grasp human hair.

Unlike the body louse, the head louse isn’t known to spread disease. An infestation doesn’t indicate anything about a person’s hygiene. (In fact, the lore of delousers says that the bugs prefer clean hair because it’s more grabbable.)

And despite common misconceptions, they can colonize people of

Business is back up for Holmes and other nitpickers after a lull during the height of the pandemic.

all ages, races and ethnicities.

COVID lockdowns were not great from a louse-world-domination standpoint. But the critters have been bonding with us for tens of thousands of years. A little lockdown wasn’t going to end the romance.

Federico Galassi, a researcher with Argentina’s Pest and Insecticide Research Center, found that strict early covid lockdowns did, indeed, lead to a decline in head lice among kids in Buenos Aires, but the bugs came nowhere close to being eliminated. His study found prevalence dropped from about 70% to about 44%.

And one thing is clear: When people shut their doors and hunkered down in early lockdowns, the lice were right there hunkered down with us.

When SaLeah Snelling reopened the doors of her Lice Clinics of America salon in Boise, Idaho, in May, she said, “the cases of head lice were heavier than we’ve ever seen.” And it wasn’t just one or two people in the household with lice, but the entire household.

Now, Galassi and American louse workers say, infestation rates are back to pre-lockdown norms, despite school covid protections.

Nix, a brand of anti-louse products, publishes a map that claims lice are bad right now in Houston, most of Alabama and New Mexico, plus Tulsa, Oklahoma. The map directs people to locations that carry its products since many parents use a DIY approach once they spy the critter on a child’s head.

Richard Pollack, chief scientific officer with pro-bono pestidentification service IdentifyUS, said most claims about louse prevalence are “marketing nonsense” from a largely unregulated industry focused on apparent infestations that often turn out to be just dandruff, glitter, hair spray, grass-dwelling springtail insects, innocuous fungus or even cookie crumbs.

It’s possible that the recent increase in business for professional nitpickery suggests that people are now comfortable seeking help outside the home rather than its being a sign of a surge in the bugs.

While little research exists to confirm whether there is a rise in lice, Boswell, Pollack and even the National Association of School SEE LICE, P23

New Lakewood City Council members sworn in A new council takes shape, but in-fighting and disfunction remain

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jeslin Shahrezaei, Ward 1; Sophia Mayott-Guerrero, Ward 2; Rebekah Stewart, Ward 3; Rich Olver, Ward 4; and Wendi Strom, Ward 5, were sworn in Nov. 22 as Lakewood’s newest City Council members.

A recount will determine the winner of the second Ward 5 seat that was up for grabs, after the top two finishers in that race ended up in a near tie. The seat became available when former Ward 5 council member, Dana Gutwein, resigned her position in August.

Mary Janssen currently leads

LICE FROM PAGE 22

Nurses agree: The bugs aren’t likely spreading in the classroom because in-school louse transmission is considered rare.

Instead, Boswell said, it’s more likely that as other activities resumed — sleepovers, play dates, summer camp, family gatherings — the bugs prospered once more.

Tom Keefe by 13 votes in the Ward 5 race. The recount will begin Dec. 6. According to the Lakewood Clerk and Recorder’s office, the final results will be available Dec. 7. The winner of the race will be sworn in during the Dec. 13 regular City Council meeting.

Five outgoing council members, Remi Johnson, Jacob LaBure, David Skilling, Mike Bieda and Karen Harrison, were presented parting gifts in the form of personalized street signs by city manager Kathy Hodgson.

Outgoing members also were given an opportunity to give parting remarks. Most offered words of advice to new members and gratitude to constituents and other council members. Ward 3’s Mike Bieda thanked voters, the community and the city of Lakewood that had nurtured him into adulthood.

But before he said his final goodbye, Bieda offered a scathing cri-

tique of Mayor Adam Paul, accusing him of attempting to silence Ward 3 council member Anita Springsteen. He also accused unnamed big money, special interests of influencing the recent election and warned the listening audience that liberal, woke culture was coming to defund the police and limit citizens’ liberties and freedoms.

Springsteen, in her Ward 3 update, accused Paul of unethically sending a letter about her to the state’s Independent Ethics Commission on Nov. 1. Springsteen said Paul labeled her as a material witness in an impending federal lawsuit against the city. She claimed sending the letter implicated Paul and others involved in its production in state and federal crimes involving witness tampering, witness intimidation and intimidation of a public official.

“Not to mention the chilling effect such a backdoor attempt at

censure has on the independent decision-making of our council members,” Springsteen said.

“Beyond that, I have been told by many power players in Colorado that there is no doubt that I am being targeted specifically, as a woman of color, for my racial justice and other justice reform activity in Lakewood and Colorado.”

In February, Springsteen’s boyfriend, Jeremiah Axtell, filed a federal lawsuit against multiple defendants including Lakewood PD and West Metro Fire Rescue. The suit stems from an incident where Axtell was forcibly injected with the drug Ketamine while he was being placed under arrest.

Springsteen said the letter Paul sent to the Independent Ethics Commission was designed to “muzzle” her from speaking up for her constituents, and keep her from voting on literally anything to do with the city.

Pollack once wrote in a presentation slide, “Head lice indicate that the child has friends.” Preschoolers tend to get the infestations the most “because they’re more cuddly,” said Julia Wilson, co-owner of Rocky Mountain Lice Removal in Lafayette. But she has also noticed a rise among teenagers, which she ascribes to taking selfies with pals.

“You say to them, ‘Have you touched heads?’ and the teenager’s like, ‘No, never,’” said Wilson. “And then all of a sudden, they’re liter-

ally taking a selfie photo with their friends.”

The Marker family isn’t sure where third grader Huntley’s lice originated. Perhaps a close friend or her dance team? The Markers spent more than $200 to get the four-person household checked — eyebrows and Dad’s beard included. Her dad and her preschool-aged brother were free of nits. But Holmes did find a couple of nits on Huntley’s mom, Paris.

“You can just burn my whole

head right now,” said Paris.

After combing each head carefully, Holmes ended the session by hugging her customers goodbye, proof that she trusts her work.

Report details pandemic’s impact on metro-Denver arts Cultural organizations lost a decade of growth

BY KYLE COOKE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

The nonprofit Colorado Business Committee for the Arts (CBCA) has released a study detailing the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on art and cultural institutions and many of the findings paint a bleak image.

The data for the study were selfreported by close to 300 arts, culture and science organizations that receive funding from the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD).

The CBCA study, released Nov. 4, concluded that the Denver area’s arts sector “lost a decade of growth in 2020.”

“Arts, culture and scientific organizations are the backbone of a vibrant, resilient and inclusive society. CBCA’s 2021 Economic Activity Study of Metro Denver Culture illustrates years of record-breaking cultural growth, which hit an alltime high in 2019, and conversely in 2020, how a community responds to drastic and disruptive circumstances,” CBCA’s executive director Christin Crampton Day said in a news release.

2019 was a banner year for the arts, with $2.3 billion in economic activity (defined by the CBCA as “direct and indirect spending from

operations, audiences and capital projects”). That figure is an all-time high.

But. of course, the COVID-19 pandemic was right around the corner in 2020, and with the combination of the deadly virus and pandemicrelated closures of places like museums and concert venues, economic activity decreased by 34% compared to 2019.

The CBCA said the economic activity in 2020 was comparable to the levels of the Great Recession in 2008.

Not surprisingly, attendance to arts events was nearly halved.

Job loss was another problem.

In 2019, the cultural sector had a record number of full-time, parttime and contract workers at 13,392 according to the CBCA’s study. “If the entire cultural nonprofit sector was one single employer in 2019, it would have been the largest private employer in the metro region,” the CBCA wrote.

But in 2020, the number of workers plummeted nearly 30%, down to just 9,688.

That summer, Rocky Mountain PBS spoke with three different workers in Colorado’s entertainment industry, including Philip Hiester. A stagehand who works at places like Boettcher Concert Hall, Hiester had to file for unemployment benefits for the first time in his decades-long career during the pandemic.

The hardest part for Hiester during the pandemic was the uncer-

tainty of when steady work would return. Some of that anxiety was eased in 2021 when indoor performances returned to the Colorado Symphony, but rising COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in Colorado are proof that the pandemic is not very close to being over.

There were, however, some success stories. The Denver-based dance company Wonderbound, for example, was able to keep all its dancers on payroll despite performance cancellations.

And the Denver Art Museum, meanwhile, was able to open its renovated campus earlier this year.

After the renovations, the museum added 65 full-time jobs.

The lone bright spot in the CBCA study was in donations and government support for the arts sector. It

was the only key metric in the study that increased between 2019 to 2020.

In 2019, the organizations surveyed received $38 million in individual donations and $25 million in government funding. In 2020, individual donations jumped to $43 million and government funding increased to $41 million.

“These sources helped to cover major losses in earned revenue and corporate event sponsorships as a result of the pandemic,” the CBCA wrote.

“It was a huge team win,” Matocha said. “The defense played phenomenal, set us up really well and had our back. I knew we had to back them up.”

The home team poured on 35 points in the third quarter after leading 13-0 at halftime. The Oredigger defense did not give up a touchdown for the second straight game as BSU’s only score came on a Hameed Oyedele kickoff return touchdown in the third quarter.

“Linebackers, D-line, DBs, we’re solid everywhere. We believe in each other. We’re playing fast now, we’re playing hard,” said Kobe Brewste rafter his two-interception performance.

Kindness Matters Foundation game has meaning on and off the court

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — The memory and spirit of Mackenzie Forrest is still strong in the Jeffco community.

Girls basketball teams from Lakewood, Green Mountain, D’Evelyn and Ralston Valley came together Nov. 20 to put on the 1st annual Kindness Matters Foundation game.

The scrimmages featured Green Mountain facing Ralston Valley and Lakewood playing D’Evelyn. Along with the games, there was an online and live auctions.

“The funds raised from this will go to three things — scholarships to Jeffco students, Gold Crown enrichment program and kindness initiatives inside the schools,” said Holger Forrest, father of Mackenzie Forrest.

Mackenzie was a standout basketball player at Lakewood High School from 2012-2016. She finished her four-year run as the school’s all-time leading scorer with 1,420 points. Tragically, Mackenzie lost her life in a car accident on March 13, 2016.

“It’s still really hard,” Holger Forrest said. “We spent a lot of time in this gym. She did a lot with kids here and it was a great experience for her.”

The Forrest Family started up the Hustle and Heart organization that awards college scholarships for Jeffco students. There is also the wearing a seatbelt — Lil’ Mac Pledge — that started shortly after Mackenzie’s death.

Another avenue that has kept Mackenzie’s spirit in everyone’s minds is the Kindness Matters Scholarships through the Jeffco Schools Foundation. There is a Kindness Matters bench that was built at Devinny Elementary in the Green Mountain-area where Mackenzie attended elementary school.

“On a personal level it means a great deal,” Lakewood coach Chris Poisson said of Forrest’s legacy living on. “It means a great deal to our community. She was so important to our school — model student, model athlete and great character — ev-

eryone loved her. On many different levels, its hard to explain how much it means.”

Mackenzie actually played with D’Evelyn feeder program before high school, but ended up going to Lakewood High School.

“With Lakewood being 5A and D’Evelyn being 4A we never had to play each other, but we did support each other,” D’Evelyn coach Chris Olson said. “ We would go to some Lakewood game and the Forrests would come to some D’Evelyn games. We were able to keep that going. It was fun cheering for each other.”

Olson still recalls that Sunday in March after the state basketball championship games in Boulder when he heard the news of the car accident.

“It was a time of disbelieve,” Olson said. “Everyone was excited she was going to Regis University and staying in town. It was really rough.”

Ralston Valley senior Saya Sabus, 2, tries to dribble past Green Mountain senior Morgan Falconer, 15, during the 1st annual Kindness Matters Foundation Game on Nov. 20 at Lakewood High School.

Ralston Valley, Green Mountain, D’Evelyn and Lakewood all took part in the scrimmage that helped raise funds for the Hustle and Heart organization and other projects in memory of former Lakewood student-athlete Mackenzie Forrest.

opening kickoff as Denver Hargrove recovered Oyedele’s giveaway on the BSU 13. Three plays later, Matocha dove into the end zone for the early lead.

A turnover on downs to start the second quarter gave Mines the chance to go on a long drive that ended with Matocha’s 26-yard end zone strike to Max McLeod, and neither team scored again in the first half despite a back-and-forth final three minutes that saw five possession changes, including Kobe Brewster’s end-zone interception to halt a charging Beaver offense at the buzzer.

Mines had the ball first in the third quarter and ground out a 75-yard drive that ended with Zeman’s one-yard wildcat push, and a punt by Bemidji State led to Mato-

Matocha found Josh Johnston two series later as Johnston made a spectacular finger-tip grab on the run for a 48-yard touchdown, and Jaden Williams’ interception on the ensuing BSU drive set up Zeman for his third touchdown of the game, a 28-yard run to lead 48-6.

The Mines reserves played virtually the entire fourth quarter and quarterback Evan Foster impressed with a 17-yard run to the pylon to make it 55-6.

kind to someone else … for me it wasn’t about her scoring points,” Holger said. “She meant so much to so many people. That is why we’ll continue this.”

The plan is to hold the Kindness Matters Foundation game each year.

“For a good cause, hopefully to raise some awareness and to help the (Heart & Hustle 33 organization),” Olson said. “We are fortunate to be here and be apart of it.

We expect to do this each year and build on it.”

You have been identified by Camile Louanne Geisert as the possible birth father of her child, Baby Girl Geisert, who was born on November 9, 2021 in Colorado.

2. Ms. Geisert plans to relinquish her parental rights to the child on an expedited basis in the Jefferson County District Court, State of Colorado, where the adoption agency has an office, pursuant to C.R.S. § 19-5-103.5 in order to make the child available for adoption.

Placing a child for adoption requires termination of the birth mother and alleged birth father(s) parentchild legal relationships. Termination of parental rights means that pursuant to a court order, all rights powers, privileges, immunities, duties and obligations existing between a parent and a child are permanently severed, except for inheritance rights, which will be severed at the time of the final decree of adoption. Upon termination of parental rights, a parent shall: (a) no longer have the right to custody of, or parenting time with the child; (b) no longer have the right to any information concerning the whereabouts, activities, health, or well-being of the child; and (c) have no say in any further decisions concerning said child.

3. A birth parent of a child has the right to contest the termination of parental rights.

4. Failure to declare intent to contest the termination of parental rights may likely result in a termination of parental rights to the child. In order to contest the termination of the parent-child legal relationship, YOU MUST: • Request and then return a “Reply Form to Notice of Anticipated Expedited Relinquishment” to Adoption Options at the above address or to Grob & Eirich, LLC, 12596 W.
