Karl Aaron Bemish, 52, pled guilty to First Degree Murder Jan. 21 for the December 2020 strangulation death of his girlfriend, 45-year-old Hilary Engel.

Bemish was sentenced by the First Judicial District Court to mandatory life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Senior Deputy District Attorney Amanda Lessman called the plea to Murder One and its coinciding life sentence, appropriate.

Engel, a nurse who worked at St. Anthony Hospital, was reported missing to police by her father after she was last seen dropping her son off at daycare Dec. 28, 2020. Her body was later discovered in her home by concerned friends.

Bemish was arrested by Trinidad Police at a Days Inn Hotel, after hotel staff requested a wellness check be performed on him.

Upon their arrival, police had to force their way into Blemish’s room, where they determined he was wanted on an outstanding First-degree Murder warrant in Jefferson County.

“We are thankful for the prosecution’s work on this case, and that even though we continue to grieve the loss of Hilary, we believe this result was the best available outcome,” Engel’s family said in a statement through the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

Engel leaves behind an 8-year-old son.

and students — on this particular day, fourth and fifth-graders from Stober Elementary School, running the whole shebang.

Young AmeriTowne is an award-winning educational program offered to 4th, 5th and 6th grade teachers to help students learn about business, economics and free enterprise and financial literacy in a fun and hands-on way.

There are three Young AmeriTowne campuses, but Jeffco students attend the Belmar location.

The permanent facilities in Denver and Belmar feature a life-like Towne with 16 businesses plus a Towne Hall.

Each year, teachers from 420 Colorado schools use the Young AmeriTowne curriculum, with more than 34,000 students attending in person. The program, designed by Young Americans Center for Financial Education, was created in 1990.

Prior to their school’s visit, students go through fun steps like applying and interviewing for the job they’ll do when they arrive. From Mayor to package delivery person — all walks of life and types of jobs are represented.

Students can be a doctor, banker, radio DJ, television personality, grocery clerk, accountant or even a police officer who’s authorized to give out tickets to Townies who break the rules. If you do get a ticket, expect to be hauled before the judge to plead your case.

Rumor has it, the judge is usually pretty reasonable and lets folks off with just a warning.

Mary Tallerday Smith, Assistant Director of Young AmeriTowne, was once a student enjoying the experience herself. She said the experience is much more than just learning about jobs.

“The students each have their own personal checking account

and goals to balance their own checking account and to help their business make a profit and pay back a bank loan with interest,” she said.

Ronald Buttermore, director of Young AmeriTowne in Belmar, said a lot of the experience is connected back to community by teaching real-world lessons in running a town for a day.

During a student’s time at one of the campuses, they receive AmeriTowne money that is directdeposited into their checking account. They can use that money to purchase goods or services from other businesses during one of their break periods. They learn to write checks, use a debit card and be responsible consumers as well.

Tallerday Smith said it helps kids understand how businesses and towns work, and how interdependent they are.

“Every business has to pay other businesses for things like radio advertising. They also have to pay rent to City Hall,” she said. “It kind of teaches them how communities work together.”

In the course of running their businesses, students also learn about economic principals like supply and demand — raising prices if things are selling well but stock is running low, or advertising or slashing prices if goods aren’t selling.

Aside from lessons about economics and finance, both Buttermore and Tallerday Smith agree that one of the best things about the program is seeing how children find themselves and express their personalities in the jobs they take on for the day.

“It’s really cool to see these kids step into these roles — kids that might normally be shy — having them take on these customer service skills or show their talents in writing for the newspaper, doing math at the bank or just interacting with other kids they might not be used to talking to, is so rewarding,” Tallerday Smith said.

Lakewood PD set to roll out Body Worn Camera program

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In 2020, the state legislature passed Senate Bill 20-217, requiring all police agencies in Colorado to implement Body Worn Camera programs by 2023.

Now, as the city is on the verge of rolling out its program, Lakewood PD has released a video featuring Police Chief Dan McCasky answering questions about body worn cameras and the impact their use may have on policing in Lakewood.

In the video, McCasky said Lakewood will start implementing its program early this year, using Axon 3 Body Worn Cameras. He said all patrol officers will wear the camera in plain sight, either on their chest or belt area. The cameras will capture both audio and

video or police interactions with the public.

“When an agent responds to a call for service, they will be required to turn their camera on,” McCasky said. “ In addition, agents will manually activate their cameras upon all officer initiated enforcement and investigative contacts including traffic stops.”

According to McCasky, If an agent draws their taser or firearm, the body camera and those immediately around them will automatically be activated as well.

Finally, he reminds members of the public that they should assume they’re being recorded during any interaction with Lakewood police.

“Under the newly-enacted legislation, there are very few situations in which law enforcement would not be recording an interaction

with the public,” McCasky said.

Start-up costs for the program are estimated to be $1.4 million, with an estimated annual cost of $1.4 million thereafter. McCasky said those costs include not only equipment, but software, cloud storage, infrastructure and the salary of additional employees to run the program.

At the end of the video, McCasky said his department welcomes the program as a way to increase transparency, furthering the mission to serve and protect with integrity, intelligence and initiative and also to show the community the type of situations Lakewood PD agents face on a daily basis.

Allegations of excessive use of force and discriminatory tactics have been brought against Lakewood PD in the last few years,

‘When an agent responds to a call for service, they will be required to turn their camera on.’

Dan McCasky, Lakewood police chief leading to increased scrutiny from members of the public and most recently, from Lakewood City Council member Anita Springsteen.

The Buying of Homes Has Become More and More Frantic Since the Marshall Fire

I had a busy weekend this last Saturday and Sunday. With two new listings, I held each open for two hours. I couldn’t even count the number of visitors at the single family home listing that I held open on Saturday. Listed at $495,000, over 120 agent showings had been scheduled during the five days that it was active, and I received 25 contracts for it by the Sunday afternoon deadline. It went under contract for $630,000 on Sunday evening.

Surprised by this level of interest, I did some research Monday to quantify the increased buyer activity. Here’s what I found.

During the first 23 days of January, 403 Jefferson County listings went under contract. Of those, 295, or 73.2%, had been active a week or less at the time they went under contract..

But not only were new listings selling this month. Twenty-four, or 6%, of the listings that went under contract in the first 23 days of January had been languishing on the market for 3 months or longer. Three listings had been on the MLS for over half a year.

Of the 403 contracts written so far

in January, 36 (8.9%) were for homes listed for $1 million or more. The most expensive home on that list, a 1930 ranch-style home in Genesee Ridge that had been on the MLS for 275 days, went under contract last Monday. This didn’t happen because of a recent price reduction. It had been listed at $5.9 million since last July 15th. It was originally listed at $6.6 million on April 1, 2021.

So, how does January’s activity compare with December’s?

In December, a total of 554 Jeffco homes went under contract, most of which have now closed. Of those, 336, or 60.6%, had been active a week or less, versus 73.2% of the January contracts Twenty-five of them, or 4.5%, had been active for three months or longer, versus 6% in January..

Forty-four Jeffco homes (7.9%) sold for $1 million or more in December, compared to 8.9% in January.

So, yes, statistics do reflect a more frantic sales pace in January.

Taking a longer perspective, let’s look at the 4th quarter of 2021 vs. the 4th quarter of 2020.

Cement Industry Sets 2050 Goal for Carbon Neutrality

In last week’s column about shifting from combustible wood-frame home construction to fire-resistant concrete home construction, I reported that an Australian company has developed a “green” concrete which reduces the large carbon footprint of traditional concrete made from Portland cement.

Concrete manufacture and deployment reportedly is responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions.

A reader shared with me information about the Portland Cement Association’s release of its “Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality” in October 2021, suggesting that the industry is aware of its carbon footprint and wants to reduce it.

I have posted a link for their roadmap at www.GoldenREblog.com.

Here’s an excerpt from a press release published online: “The PCA roadmap involves the entire value chain, starting at the cement plant and extending through the entire life cycle of the built environment to incorporate the circular economy. It recognizes five main areas of opportunity: clinker, cement, concrete,

construction and carbonation (using concrete as a carbon sink). Each phase of the value chain is integral to reaching the goal and can unlock unique and specific pathways to carbon neutrality, including actions such as reducing CO2 from the manufacturing process, decreasing combustion emissions by changing fuel sources, and shifting toward increased use of renewable electricity…

“The association is committed to gathering a coalition of industry experts, researchers, policymakers and companies along the value chain to make the roadmap a reality. ‘PCA is actively engaging with organizations beyond the industry to bring the right people to the table to accelerate and advance solutions to reach carbon neutrality,’ said Massimo Toso, PCA climate and sustainability council cochair, and president and CEO of Buzzi Unicem USA. “ ‘Our roadmap is an open-source, collaborative effort and includes stakeholders directly involved in the value chain as well as those not directly involved in the value chain.’ ”

Others may have been from victims of that fire, but they didn’t say so in their offer.

Sirens Could Help Alert Residents of Approaching Wildfires

Clearly many lives were saved in the Marshall Fire because it started in the morning and residents were awake and alert to the danger. Imagine if the fire had begun at 2 a.m. How many more people might have died in their homes?

A reader suggested that communitybased sirens could help to save lives, and that does sound like a good idea.

NextDoor is a great resource for alerting residents about all kinds of dangers, but it would not wake anyone up. Something like the Amber alert which makes a deafening alarm on cell phones could be effective. (I leave my cell phone on at night but it is purposely out of earshot for phone calls and text messages. I would, however, hear the loud alarm used for Amber alerts.)

The Amber alert should not itself be utilized for such a warning, because it

can be silenced. If there were a separate alert for fire danger, it’s unlikely that people would silence that alert or turn off their cell phones at night.

There are, I’ve found, many seniors who have held off buying cell phones, but the existence of such an alert might inspire them to purchase one. In addition to the low-cost providers, there is a program called Lifeline that provides free cell phones to households that are on various programs such as SNAP, SSI, Medicaid, etc. Learn more online at www.AssuranceWireless.com. If you are currently paying for a landline telephone, you could get rid of it and port your phone number to the free cell phone that you get with this program. The cellphone can also provide you with free internet service via a “hotspot,” allowing you to save money on broadband, too.

Comedy for all ages comes to Colorado ACTS Wheat Ridge theater puts fun spin on classic adventure movie

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Illinois Jane and the Pyramid of Peril” will debut Feb. 4 at Colorado ACTS (Actors Company and Theater School) Theater with performances running two consecutive weekends.

The play will be the latest of more than 200 shows the theater has put on in its 25-year history in Wheat Ridge.

Cindy Troup, founder and executive director, said the play is a take-off on Indiana Jones, with the greatest action hero of all time — Illinois Jane — traveling through Egypt on a quest to find the elixir of life.

The play features both teen actors from the children’s program and adults from the groups’s community theater program, resulting in a comedy that’s fun for the whole family.

Troup said Colorado ACTS started with the goal of providing theater classes for kids, but as students graduated from high school,

becoming college students and young parents, they still wanted to be part of the fun.

“So, we opened up a community program as well,” she said. “It’s good fun because the kids are learning from the adults and the older ones are getting the energy and the fun.”

Aside from being her life’s

work, the theater company is a family affair for Troup.

Her youngest son is playing evil French villain Pierre LeMalodeur in “Illinois Jane” and has been onstage most of his life.

“He wasn’t born onstage — that would be creepy,” Troup said with a laugh.

“But he’s literally been

onstage since he was very little and he’s a hoot and a holler.”

Despite possible perceptions, children’s acting classes at Colorado ACTS, which is a Christian theater, are open to children from any background. Troup said the atmosphere is inclusive and was created to give all

kids a safe place learn, grow and explore their creativity.

It’s also become a popular option for home-school students to participate in theater.

The City of Wheat Ridge is recruiting residents wanting to participate in their government by volunteering on the City’s Boards and Commissions. Applicants should live in the district for which they are applying. Applications from interested residents must be submitted by 5:00 p.m.

Neighbors gather to oppose Bear Creek Lake expansion Plan being considered would add 10 times the amount of water currently being stored

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

More than 50 people showed up in the first hour of a four-hour event designed to spread the word and inform neighbors about a proposal to increase water storage at Bear Creek Lake Park. The plan, currently being studied by the Army Corps of Engineers, would allow up to 22,000-acre feet of water storage in the Lake which currently stores roughly 2,000-acre feet of water.

Katie Gill, a community member opposed to the increase, wants neighbors to be aware of what’s at stake if the expansion plan is carried out.

“We are providing information, opportunities for action and answering questions about the Bear Creek Lake expansion proposal,” she said.

“We’re giving out maps that would show how the expansion would devastate the park as we know it.”

handgun had hidden in the basement and eventually were able to crawl through a window to wait for deputies to arrive at the scene.

A K9 officer and his K9 partner Geist, responded to the scene, making several requests inside of the residence for the suspect to show themselves to deputies.

“The suspect failed to comply with

signs to raise awareness of the issue throughout Lakewood, Morrison and South Jefferson County.

“People are being generous in their attempt to save the park,” she said. “They want to do something.”

Lynn Knutson, who’s lived in the area for 21 years, came to lend a hand. She said the expansion would have a really negative affect on the park.

“A lot of us who’ve lived here for years — this is one of the reasons why we moved here,” she said. “The park would be dramatically reduced to a big mud flat most of the time because all of the acreage they want to take for a dam won’t have water in it most of the time.”

Lynnda Gies, another long-time resident of the area has many concerns about the expansion. She said expansion of water storage would take away many of the recreational opportunities the park has to offer.

But more importantly, she’s concerned with loss of precious animal and bird habitat.

“My whole family comes here to ride bikes and kayak,” Gies said.

“And it concerns me because for the last several years we’ve been filling up every space with housing.

I’m worried that my grandchildren won’t have the opportunity to see all of the wildlife that call this park home. The area’s become so developed that the animals would have nowhere else to go if this habitat is lost.” deputy’s commands,” the JSCO statement said. “During the K9 team search of the residence, the suspect was located hiding behind a couch.”

The suspect, 39-year-old Aris Ashford, sustained superficial bite wounds while being apprehended

by Geist. He was then transported to St. Anthony’s Hospital where he was treated and released back to deputies. Ashford is currently being held at the Jeffco Detentions Facility for Suspicion of 2nd Degree Burglary, Felony Criminal Mischief and theft.

and Wadsworth in December.

Billing itself as “extreme, social and fun” the venue gives participants — or “swingers” as the company calls them — the opportunity to compete against one another and hurl an axe at a target for points.

Think darts, but with a three pound hatchet.

While axe throwing venues and target sports like knife throwing are gaining momentum in Colorado and nation wide, the Arvada location marks the first Flannel Jax franchise in Colorado. There are currently six throughout the United States.

Sabash Bahuguna owns the Flannel Jax in Arvada. A native of India, the Arvada resident was seeking a profitable and sustainable franchise opportunity in 2019.

The the pandemic, construction and supply chain issues hampered opening, but the growth in the indoor sport industry felt too compelling. Despite setbacks, Bahuguna officially opened his facility in December 2021.

After filling out waivers and a

briefing on rules and safety protocols, participants are assigned a lane — a la bowling — with two targets against a backboard and a foul line. Lane attendants guide the group through their experience, and offer scorekeeping and throwing tips.

On a recent Saturday night, Flannel Jax was bustling. Four groups spread out over seven lanes, and cheers, laughter and fist bumps punctuated the thuds of the axes hitting the pine and cottonwood backboards.

John Trimm, an Arvada native, was celebrating his 58th birthday with his wife and two other couples.

“I can still get the axe all the way to the wall,” he said, beaming after landing his axe squarely on the target.

“We just loaded up on Advil before we came,” joked friend Bridget Hart.

Dressed to impress, the group all wore flannel shirts.

Although Bahuguna owned a few flannel shirts before buying the franchise, throwing an axe was not

something he’d done before, and he emphasized that’s in part what makes Flannel Jax an easy draw for anyone, regardless of how rugged or outdoorsy or athletic they think they are.

“Apart from bowling or bars or being outside, there isn’t a lot of fun things to do in this area,” Bahuguna said.

Mike Worth is the manager, and admits he had never thrown an axe before accepting the position. Demonstrating the different throwing techniques, the sports management grad hits the bullseye on his first throw.

Although Bahuguna has only been in the United States for ten years, he feels connected to Arvada as a resident, and opening a business where friends and family can have fun together and in his home town already feels like an achievement.

“America is the land of dreams,” he said. “One of the greatest things is how everyone in here has been so welcoming and supportive. I call Arvada home now.”

Rotary on quest for best in business ethics

BY DEBORAH GRIGSBY DGRIGSBY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Rotary Club of Golden wants to know which local organizations you think display the highest standards of ethical practice.

For-profit business, nonprofit organization?

It doesn’t matter because there’s an award for both, and you can help by submitting an online nomination.

Tom Hughes, Chair of the Rotary Club of Golden EIB Awards Committee, says this year’s event is extra special as after two years of being either canceled or scaled back, the luncheon returns in all its glory to an in-person format.

“Color us happy campers,” Hughes said. “COVID didn’t give us many options in `20 and `21—we are pleased as punch to get this

thing back up to where it was.”

Each year, Rotary’s Ethics in Business program seeks nominations from the public to help identify and honor one for-profit business and another for a nonprofit organization that demonstrates the highest standards of ethical business practice, integrity, and civic and social responsibility.

According to Hughes, Rotary collects the community nominations and then turns them over to an ethics class at the Colorado School of Mines for selection.

While nominees come primarily from the Golden, Hughes said those from across Jefferson County are welcome.

Winners will be announced at a luncheon emceed by perennial favorite Denver meteorologist Ed Greene, who has served as the event’s master of ceremony for 15

out of 17 years.

The keynote speaker is the president and CEO of the Daniels Fund, Hanna Skandera.

Hughes said the luncheon is slated for May 6 at the Sheraton Denver West Hotel in Lakewood.

When asked why Rotary chooses to recognize excellence in business ethics, Hughes said it comes down to two things.

“One, it rewards ethical behavior by businesses,” he said. “Not that

they seek rewards, but it’s nice for them to be rewarded for it. And two, it raises public awareness—I don’t know how many people run around wondering if their business is ethical, but it is a question everybody should be asking.”

Nominations may be made online at ethics.goldenrotary.org and must be received no later than Feb. 28.

UllrGrass returns to Parfet Park

BY DEBORAH GRIGSBY DGRIGSBY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Beer-drinking bluegrass fans rejoice!

The UllrGrass Music and Beer Festival returns to Parfet Park in downtown Golden this year, Jan. 28-30.

Named to honor Ullr (Ooler), the Norse god of winter, the Vikingthemed outdoor event promises a diverse lineup of bluegrass, newgrass, funk and jam band artists.

This year’s musical lineup includes Coral Creek, Rapidgrass, Chain Station, The Hillbenders,

Funky Freiya featuring Sheryl Renee of the Black Swan Singers, Thunder and Rain, Adam Kinghorn Quartet, Ms. Amy & the Jet Set, Uptown Toodeloo, The Wrecklunds, Hunker Down, Morsel, Big Hooray Bluegrass and more.

Teacher shortage highlights need for more school funding, union boss says Lawmakers to start debating how much state money to give school districts next year

BY DANIEL DUCASSI AND ERICA BREUNLIN COLORADO SUN

Colorado will continue to face a critical teacher shortage unless state leaders make good on their constitutional obligation to increase education funding, the head of Colorado’s largest teacher union says.

“We’re at a crisis point that requires bold action by our legislature,” Colorado Education Association President Amie Baca-Oehlert told The Colorado Sun in an interview ahead of the 2022 legislative session, which began Jan. 12.

The union is asking for a major investment in schools and it plans to lobby school districts to spend their share of any budgetary increase on improving teacher pay, Baca-Oehlert said.

The push to restore education funding and improve pay for teachers comes as lawmakers are gearing up to debate in the coming months just how much state money to give school districts next year.

Colorado lawmakers have not kept up with increasing education funding at the level the constitution requires, leaving districts shortchanged and holding a nearly $10 billion IOU from the state.

The state’s coffers are flush with cash at the moment – so much so that taxpayers are expected to receive refunds for each of the next three fiscal years. And the state also has billions more in one-time federal aid it received during the pandemic, giving state lawmakers extra flexibility with spending this year.

While the governor wants to chip away at the state’s funding obligation to school districts — known as the budget stabilization factor — with $150 million a year for the next three years, Republicans want to commit to paying the state’s entire annual funding obligation to

schools going forward, which could cost hundreds of millions of dollars more each year.

Two Republican state senators, Barbara Kirkmeyer of Brighton and Paul Lundeen of Monument, have drafted a bill – set to be introduced this week – that aims to do just that, providing more than $700 million to wipe out the budget stabilization factor.

“The bill itself would eliminate the budget stabilization factor, would take $723 million and completely buy it down,” Lundeen told the Colorado Sun. Republicans believe the state can commit to that higher level of funding for education long term. Sen. Bob Rankin, a Carbondale Republican who sits on the Joint Budget Committee, thinks that increasing property tax revenue amid appreciating real estate values will help the state get there.

But Senate Majority Leader Steve Fenberg, D-Boulder, argues relying on increasing property tax revenues is less than ideal, and offered a more cautious approach.

“Getting rid of [the budget stabilization factor] for one year doesn’t do a whole lot of good,” he said.

The constitution requires the state to increase base per-student school funding by at least the rate of inflation each year, so the funding obligation is a perennial problem.

“We have to get rid of it in a way that is sustainable so that it goes away forever,” Fenberg added.

The Republican proposal, if adopted, could have implications for Democrats’ spending priorities as more money for K-12 education means less money for other initiatives.

Baca-Oehlert described the governor’s plan as “a good start” but thinks state leaders can up that figure.

“We do believe that there is an ability to do more than $150 million this year,” Baca-Oehlert said. “And with a over half-a-billion-dollar hole in education funding, we think that doing more than $150 million would be just a better way to support our struggling schools and students in this time of significant need.”

Teacher shortage hits districts

Adam Williams teaches an 8th grade social studies inside a classroom at Options PHOTO BY ROBERT TANN Secondary Program in Littleton.

Whatever lawmakers decide, Baca-Oehlert worries that without substantial new funding schools will struggle to recruit new teachers and keep them in classrooms.

“Our districts need an ability to attract people to the profession, but also to retain them,” she said. “And so when you have the financial resources to provide those things that are going to impact people’s work life, that can lead to the district’s ability to recruit and retain.”

Baca-Oehlert said the union also has a parallel strategy of convincing districts to prioritize teacher pay in spending any new money they may receive from the state.

She observed that a double whammy of low pay and pandemic stresses are forcing school districts statewide to grapple with a teacher shortage.

CEA recently conducted a survey and found that 67% of its members were thinking about leaving the teaching field in the near future.

That’s a 27 percentage point increase from the 40% of members who indicated they were considering leaving when surveyed in December 2020.

Meanwhile, it’s become harder for school districts to retain educators as they struggle to compete against the wages in other industries. Some full-time teachers have left the classroom in pursuit of jobs that pay better and are lower stress.

Baca-Oehlert cited the example of an early career teacher who chose to leave the classroom and work in a coffee shop in pursuit of higher pay and less hassle.

Another teacher, veteran educator Diane Santorico, taught for nearly 30 years before deciding to call it quits last year. She often came home at the end of the day in tears after being forced to teach in a 95-degree classroom while wearing a mask and being unable to use school water fountains.

“There’s no doubt that the classroom is the center point for pressures generated by this pandemic,” House Speaker Alec Garnett, a Denver Democrat, told reporters Monday. “Students and teachers and parents have felt a lot of those pressures. We need to do everything we can to invest as much as we can in the classroom.”

But House Minority Leader Hugh McKean, R-Loveland, said the General Assembly has been “terrible at prioritizing” education funding.

“But yet we all say that we prioritize education and we want to make sure that teachers can get more pay, we want to make sure that students can have more materials in the classroom.”

However, if the state doesn’t make good on its constitutional spending obligations, he added, “then what we’re really doing is saying we’re going to continually fund education at a lower level.”

Reflections on empathy, compassion and the courage to act

G

enocide [Greek prefix meaning “race” or “tribe,” Latin suffix meaning “act of killing”]: an internationally recognized crime where acts are committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group. The term “genocide” itself was coined by Polish lawyer Raphael Lemkin, writing in 1944 particularly in response to Nazi policies of systematic murder of Jewish people during the Holocaust.

According to the United Nations Office on Genocide Prevention genocide includes: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm; deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about the group’s physical destruction; imposing measures intended to prevent births; forcibly transferring children out of the group.

Deliberate, calculated, systematic. Forcible, intentional, targeted.

Such are the defining words of genocide, first recognized by the UN General Assembly in 1946 and codified as an individual crime in

1948.

Empathy [a translation of Greek empatheia,“within feeling”]: the ability to understand and relate to another’s pain.

Most of my Boomer generation Andrea Doray is achingly aware of the beyondcredible-belief Nazi program to eliminate the Jewish people of Europe, which precipitated, in part, World War II. As younger generations come to take our place in remembrance, I encourage more awareness, more learning, more outrage at the deliberate, calculated, systematic, forcible, intentional targeted genocide of millions of Jewish people during the Holocaust.

The United Nations General Assembly designated Jan. 27—the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp—as International Holocaust Remembrance Day to honor the six million Jewish victims of the

ALCHEMY

Holocaust and millions of other victims of Nazism.

Compassion [from the Latin “to suffer” and the prefix meaning “with”]: an even broader concept than empathy, an understanding of another’s suffering as if actually experiencing it and the desire to mitigate that pain.

History has proven that among the deepest roots of genocide is hate, which can take hold anywhere. In fact, earlier this month, in what the FBI has labeled a hate crime, a 44-year-old British Pakistani took four people hostage at gunpoint in a synagogue in Texas, for no other reason that their faith. After an 11-hour standoff, the hostages were able to escape because of their courage to act.

Such incidents are becoming frighteningly more common. A Jewish community center I pass frequently throughout the week has armed security on the Sabbath and other holy days. It’s easy to understand why.

Of course, people of Jewish faith in the U.S. are not the only targets of hate crimes—Blacks, Muslims, Christians, women,

Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities, LBGTQ+ communities … and on and on and on. I’m sure you can help me identify more.

Slippery slope [universal]: a course of action that inevitably leads to something unacceptable, wrong or disastrous.

Can hate crime eventually lead to genocide? Historically, yes.

And it may seem, from reading my words here, that such hate is inescapable, that we are helpless to slow that slippery descent.

However, in my heart of hearts, I do believe that each of us—with enough empathy, enough compassion, and tremendous amounts of courage to act—can find our own ways to navigate the slope, and join together to help prevent the unacceptable, the wrong, the disastrous again.

Andrea Doray is a writer who recommends starting with information from the UN on genocide—still taking place around the world—to learn more about how to help.

Driving through the destruction

Y

ou’ve never seen it! You’ve never seen it miss this house, and miss that house, and then come after you!”

This quote from the movie “Twister” ran through my head over and over last week.

See, I had business up in Boulder.

And, the natural way there for me from my house takes me up past Flatiron Crossing Mall, through Superior, and up the highway, with Marshall on my left.

Just past the turnoff to the mall, you look to your left, past the trailhead parking area, and you can see where the fire burned…and where it didn’t. In a big field of dry grasses, the burn line cuts a weaving swath right down the middle.

Everything to the right, burned and dead; everything to the left, still alive, waving in the early morning breeze.

A hundred yards further on, look to the right. There’s the fire line again, having jumped the road.

Except this time, all the burn is on the other side—fortunately, saving the wooden fence 18 inches to the left…and the dozen houses beyond.

Like a predator, stalking its prey,

and then at the last minute deciding to pursue other quarry.

The giant apartment complex up on the hill seems to have dodged the destruction.

Quarter mile further up the street, I look to the left, down into a neighMichael Alcorn borhood, which, miraculously, seems to have avoided the inferno. Or not. First glances are deceiving, especially when driving. What I saw, on first glance, was the second block of the neighborhood. The traffic light allows me to look over and see the first block, razed to the ground. And then, beyond it, the third block, similarly obliterated. And, sure, it’s great that the houses remain standing in the middle of the neighborhood, but it becomes clear momentarily that the only people still occupying this area are insurance adjusters.

Back to the right side of the street, there’s the Tesla dealership, half of it charred, the windows

HITTING HOME

boarded up. But just 20 yards over, there’s the Starbucks… serving customers. And behind that, the post-apocalyptic concrete hulk of a hotel.

It is unreal how the fire chose it victims. Carried on 100+ mph winds, it seems to have been in too big of a hurry to be thorough.

Obviously, that’s no comfort to its victims, but the randomness of the whole thing defies explanation.

I know a lot of the conversation since this has been about the climate, how our intensely dry autumn made this situation vastly worse than it might have otherwise been. That conversation, I think, downplays to a degree how extraordinary the other elements of that day played together to brew this tragedy. I’ve lived here 50+ years and I think I can count on one hand the number of days that had extended 100 mph winds; and now there’s speculation that the fire may have ignited when it burst free from the underground coal mine where it had been burning… for 150 years!

Sometimes, nature rears up and send us a little reminder of who is in charge. A tornado which goes

out of its way to miss a school but rips up a strip mall; a fire kindled underground and driven by hurricane-force winds; a virus.

Sure, we do things that make nature angry, and that’s part of the equation. Maybe, what? We should get back in the habit of pouring out libations before our evening meal?

We imagine, because to our knowledge there is nothing higher, that we sit atop the existential earth pyramid. We imagine, in our hubris, that we control it all, that we are masters of our domain.

We are wrong.

Every once in a while, we get a little reminder that best we can do is mitigate danger, but that, in the grand scheme of things… we are but dust and vapor.

Have a great week, friends!

Perlmutter has been class act in Congress

e’re about to lose one of the really good guys.

Congressman Ed Perlmutter has announced that he will not pursue a ninth term representing Colorado’s 7th District in Congress. He’ll leave after an outstanding career in which he doggedly pushed broad agendas of things that were important in his district and for Colorado.

His first House district included the former Fitzsimons Army Medical Center in Aurora and he successfully worked to transform the site into an outstanding medical facility that serves the entire region while garnering transportation funding to make it more accessible by the expansion of I-225.

His work to make Jefferson County a center of excellence in renewable energy through institutions that include the National Renewable Energy Lab and the Colorado School of

Mines will continue to benefit all of us for years to come.

After marijuana became legal in Colorado and it became clear that the inability for marijuana companies to use banking services poses safety risks, Perlmutter Columnist began an effort to overturn the prohibition. He’s been successful in the House, but efforts have stalled in the Senate. With less than a year left in his congressional tenure, I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t accomplish this final goal before he steps down.

As compared to Perlmutter, we have a chance to get rid of a national embarrassment in the 3rd Congressional District. Since upsetting Congressman Scott Tipton in the 2020

Republican primary, Lauren Boebert has been the epitome of everything that is wrong with politics. Her outrageous behavior has included undermining the integrity of our government by continuing to question the legitimacy of the very election in which she was elected. She continues to make outrageous comments on a wide variety of issues that divide us and will have little if nothing to show voters as accomplishments when she faces voters for re-election later this year.

Her redrawn district makes it very unlikely that a Democrat can unseat her, but she now faces a primary challenge from State Senator Don Coram. Coram is a well-liked legislator who is finishing 12 years in the General Assembly. As compared to Boebert’s bombastic style, Coram has been a very down to earth legislator who has deftly worked with people of all political stripes to

accomplish meaningful progress on many issues.

He proudly tells people the “R” by his name stands for “rural” and he’s been very successful educating urban and suburban legislators about the unique problems facing rural areas and how to address them.

Boebert’s reaction to Coram’s challenge was to immediately launch negative campaign ads against him.

Because of the celebrity (and funding) that has come from Boebert’s outrageous behavior, Coram faces an uphill battle. Our state could mitigate the loss of a statesman like Perlmutter by replacing Boebert with Coram.

require staff at nursing homes, assisted living residences or adult day centers to have a specific number of hours of training in dementia.

While some facilities do make dementia training a priority, I believe all providers of these services should require it.

Please join me in thanking Senator Kolker, Senator Ginal and Representative Young for supporting the Alzheimer’s Association’s proposal to require a minimum of four hours of initial training and two hours of additional training every two years after that for direct care staff at every nursing home, assisted living and adult day centers across the state. I urge Speaker Garnett, Sena-

tors Smallwood, Fields and Buckner, and Representatives Lontine, Ortiz and Titone to also support this proposal. Without proper training, we cannot ensure appropriate care for

the thousands of Coloradans living with Alzheimer’s in assisted living facilities.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dementia training needed When my husband, John, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, our family was devastated. There was so much for us to learn. When it was time to look for help with his care, we wanted to know the staff was well-prepared to provide for his needs.

The most important factor in quality dementia care is the staff.

When choosing a care community, I assumed that the staff was knowledgeable in all aspects of dementia care. Sadly, there were times when I observed that lack of training impacted my husband’s (or another resident’s) care. I was surprised to learn that Colorado does not

ealthcare in the United States is at a crossroads. Over the last couple of years, we’ve had to confront the gaps in our healthcare system GUEST due to the pandemic.

COLUMN But due to reconciliation, we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make lasting changes that will positively impact millions of Americans.

As a trans man with chronic illnesses, my experience Kris Garcia with the American healthcare system has been fraught with challenges. Most recently, I underwent surgery and due to complications stemming from the surgery, I was saddled with a bill of $172,000.

Unfortunately, my story is all too common in Colorado.

Medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcies in the United States, and in Colorado, medical debt affects people of color more than their White counterparts. In fact, 22 percent of Coloradans of color, twice the amount of White Coloradans, are facing debt-in-collection. Further-

more, 32.9 percent of African Americans and 21.7 percent of Hispanics have reported problems paying their medical bills.

What’s worse is that desperate Coloradans reported various ways to absolve their medical debt, which included taking out loans and going into credit card debt. A whopping 32.7 percent of Coloradans reported that they were unable to pay for basic necessities like food, heat and rent due to the financial burden that they were straddled with after receiving medical care.

I also live with chronic illnesses, all of which stem from hemophilia. Hemophilia is a rare disorder in which blood can’t clot properly due to a lack of clot-producing proteins. There are only a few ways to treat hemophilia, one of which includes receiving transfusions. Each infusion that I receive costs $40,000, and I need these infusions in addition to other medications every few months to manage my chronic illnesses. I work multiple jobs in order to cover my out-ofpocket medical costs, which often leads to my work hours being as high as 70-80 hours per week. And I know SEE GARCIA, P13

fternoon Tea was introduced in 1840 by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, to get her through the long period between lunch and dinner, not served in her abode until 8 p.m., according to Historic-UK.com.

That being the case, you might have surmised that Afternoon Tea consists of more than just a hot beverage. It always comes with scrummy nosh as well. You may find scones with clotted cream and freshly made jams, a tasty selection of sweet and savory pastries and finger sandwiches. And of course, there’s British-style biscuits to set you right.

You don’t have to be in England to enjoy Afternoon Tea. There are several places in the Queen City of the Plains (and surrounding areas) where you can have the experience.

Kathy Curry, visiting from Georgia with her two young daughters, said one of the things they looked most forward to this year was Afternoon Tea at the Brown.

“It’s magical,” Curry said. “It makes the girls feel like they’re princesses. And I love it too.”

Morgan Bobo handles press requests for the Brown. She said Afternoon Tea has been served at the Brown Palace since 1986.

“It’s presently hosted in the historic and stunning Atrium Lobby. Guests can enjoy a variety of teas topped with Devonshire cream shipped directly from England while listening to the soft sounds of the grand piano float through the lobby and natural light streaming through the stained-glass ceiling,” she said. “The rich history isn’t the only thing that makes the experience unique, as all of the honey utilized for tea service comes directly from the property’s rooftop bee colonies and can be purchased on property to take home.”

The Brown Palace does have perhaps the most storied Afternoon Tea in the metro area. But recent years have seen plenty of competition spring up from Castle Rock to Louisville and all spots in-between, keeping this decidedly British tradition alive and well in Colorado.

“It’s about the experience,” said Michael Herrera, proud Denver dad.

“My daughter loved being able to get dressed up to go to Tea.” Elaine Bryant and her husband, Joel, a trained chef, are the owners of The Lumber Baron, a historic Bed

and Breakfast in the Potter Highlands neighborhood. Bryant says they started offering Afternoon Tea about six months after opening the Inn because it seemed like such a natural fit. The Victorian mansion is the perfect setting for their traditional English tea service featuring a variety of fancy finger sandwiches, scones, crumpets and fresh cookies.

Bryant says she honed the customer service skills it takes to run a B&B serving up a different hot beverage — coffee — for Starbucks, where she worked for 13 years before becoming an Inn Keeper.

Speaking of kids, Bryant said they’re more than welcome and get the same white tablecloth and antique china treatment as anyone else.

“We love having children come to the High Tea,” she said. “And they love coming, The little girls, especially. They just know that it’s something special.”

If you haven’t taken Afternoon Tea before, here’s a primer: Tea comes by the pot, with different loose-leaf varieties to choose from, while the treats are always served family style, but on much fancier platters than your average chicken nachos. Price covers both tea and food per person. So, no need to fuss.

Just make a reservation, show up and as they say across the pond, “Bob’s your uncle.”

Orchestra plans event for families, children Inspiring the new generation of classical fans

COMING ATTRACTIONS

M

ost people remember their first concert experience — it usually represents their tastes at the time or the direction their musical palette will grow. So, starting with classical music is a great way to get children interested in the genre early.

That’s one of the aims behind the Lakewood Symphony Orchestra’s annual children’s and family concert, which will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 5 at the Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Parkway.

According to conductor Matthew Switzer, the LSO’s children-centric concert has been around for more than 20 years and has remained a popular entry in its season. This year’s performance will be of the immortal “Peter and the Wolf.” It will also feature a young guest conductor conducting the orchestra in John Williams’ “Imperial March.”

We spoke to Switzer about the tradition, selecting music for all ages and more: Interview edited for clarity and brevity.

Why is it important that the symphony offers a child-centric concert like this?

This concert is offered to introduce classical music to young people in a comfortable environment with their parents. The concert continues to feature new and exciting ways for the audience to discover what

that I’m only one of several millions of Americans that are suffering from the high cost of medical care.

A recent survey showed that 73 percent of Colorado voters said that the amount they pay for healthcare seems to be going up each year. Furthermore, 61 percent of those voters said that they had at one time or another struggled to pay a medical bill even though they had insurance and 25 percent of those surveyed said that they actively have unpaid or past-due medical bills that they are having trouble paying off. A survey also showed that the majority of Coloradans agree that insurance deductibles should be low enough so that they don’t get in the way of the healthcare that patients need.

makes “music.”

Sometimes, the audience writes a composition, sometimes they create a story to music and occasionally they find out crazy things about how instruments are made. Of course, we always offer a narrated story with music to finish off

the concert.

Tell me about this year’s concert.

There will be demonstrations of the various families of instruments in the orchestra with individual looks of how different instruments produce sound. Of course, we will have to build at least one supersized instrument on stage. After that is concluded, the orchestra will perform “Peter and the Wolf” with guest narrator, Joel Hillan. “Peter and the Wolf” is a famous work by Sergei Prokofiev that uses many of the instruments in the orchestra to portray the various characters in the story.

This is a great way to reintroduce our family concerts after last year when we were unable to present one.

As the conductor, what makes a show for children special/ unique?

Family shows must be more than just playing and talking about the works being performed. They need to be inventive, engaging, and hopefully, if every person leaves wondering a bit more about music and how interesting it can be, we will have accom-

Despite the fact that Americans want affordable healthcare, insurance companies are set on lining their pockets.

Accumulator adjustment programs are extremely prevalent in the American healthcare system; due to their prevalence, insurers save money by refusing to allow prescription drug coupons to count towards a person’s deductible. That leaves millions of Americans with unexpected out-of-pocket costs when it comes to filling their prescription drugs. And if any of these Americans are like me, that could be deadly.

When cost-sharing assistance provided on medications are not applied to insurance deductibles, the prevalence of high-deductible plans means that many patients like me could be asked to shoulder many thousands of dollars more and too many of us cannot afford to do so, even if our

Colorado’s graduation rates fell last year The drop was worse among students of color

BY DAVID GILBERT COLORADO SUN

Colorado’s high school graduation rate fell for the first time in more than a decade in 2021, according to the Colorado Department of Education.

A total of 81.7% of the class of 2021 graduated last spring, down from 81.9% of the class of 2020.

The data shows wide graduation rate discrepancies between races and economic statuses.

The decline came as the pandemic shuttered schools across the state and sent students home to learn, leading to widening gaps between students of color and their white peers.

The graduation rate for white students climbed by 0.6 percentage points last year to 86.6%, while graduation rates for students of color fell by 1 percentage point to 76.1%.

American Indian students saw the sharpest decline, with a graduation rate of 64.5% in 2021, down from

66.7% in 2020. Black students saw their graduation rate fall by 0.6 percentage points to 76%, while Hispanic students fell by 1.2 percentage points to 74.2%.

Graduation rates also fell for students with limited English proficiency, economic disadvantages, those experiencing homelessness and those from migrant families. The graduation rate for migrant students fell by 4.7 percentage points in 2021 to 67%.

The graduation rate for students with disabilities climbed by 4.6 percentage points to 66.4%.

The state’s completion rate, which measures how many students either graduate high school, obtain a certificate or GED also fell to 83.2% in 2021 from 83.4% the year before.

The state’s dropout rate remained at 1.8% in 2021, the same as the year before, and the lowest mark in a decade. About a quarter of districts reported their dropout rates were lower than in 2020.

Many districts are utilizing the state’s new graduation guidelines, which take effect for the class of 2022, to provide students with “multiple pathways” toward degree comple-

The state had lower graduation rates in 2021.

models,” said Katy Anthes, Colorado’s education commissioner in a statement.

“It is a relief that the graduation rate is nearly the same as it was the previous year. With the state’s dropout rate also nearly unchanged, it is a concrete display of the dedication and determination of Colorado’s students, parents and teachers, especially

tion, including work-based learning, apprenticeships and concurrent enrollment, according to a news release from the Colorado Department of Education.

“We know how tough it was for everyone last school year due to the challenges brought on by the pandemic with schools going to remote learning and others offering hybrid

during these tough times.”

Arvada West captures league win over Lakewood

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — It doesn’t matter how girls basketball teams capture conference wins in the Class 5A Jeffco League.

The key is getting those wins no matter how it looks. Arvada West edged Lakewood in both teams’ league opener Jan. 21. The Wildcats didn’t score in the opening four minutes of the third or fourth quarters, but managed to take a 4238 road victory.

“I told the girls it was going to be a barnburner and it didn’t disappoint,” A-West coach Brady Meeks said. “We kind of thought the first team to 40 points would win. Chris (Lakewood coach Chris Poisson) and I joked before the game the final might be 36-35. So we were pretty close.”

It looked like A-West (12-3, 1-0 in 5A Jeffco) would be saying goodbye to its 6-game winning streak.

Lakewood (8-5, 0-1) held a 29-20 lead midway through the third quarter.

The Wildcats clawed back thanks to Jasmyn Williams, Saylor Swanson and Brooke Meeks each sinking a 3-pointer over the span of 90 seconds late in the third quarter.

A steal and layup by Swanson in the closing seconds actually gave A-West a 33-31 lead heading into the final quarter.

“I’m really proud of their grit and fight,” Coach Meeks said of the Wildcats climbing out of the 9-point deficit midway through the third quarter. “In previous seasons this team would have folded. Credit to the kids. They were fantastic.”

The coach’s daughter — Brooke Meeks — finished with a team-high 11 points. Williams finished with 9 points and Swanson, a freshman, came off the bench with 7 points.

“Shots started to fall for a couple of us,” Brooke said. “It was nice to hit a few shots. We had to stay positive.”

It seemed like there was a lid on both baskets in the fourth quarter.

Both teams nearly went scoreless halfway through the final quarter.

Brooke actually make the only two field goals in the fourth quarter for the Wildcats.

The junior guard poured in her third 3-pointer of the night to put A-West up 36-33, but Lakewood junior Zoe Zartman answered with a 3-pointer of her own to ties things back up. Lakewood freshman DJ Parrish led all scorers with 13 points. Senior Anna Salmore had 11 points before fouling out in the fourth quarter.

Brooke had another big field goal to give the lead back to the Wildcats. A-West made 4-of-7 free throws in the final minute to seal the victory. Senior Amanda Neff

struggled offensively for most of the game, but was 3-for-4 in from the line in the final minute.

“Amanda and Ellie (Pugliese) hit some big free throws late,” Coach Meeks said. “She (Neff) was a little off tonight, but I wasn’t going to pull her out. She is a captain and important in so many ways. And, she is an 80 percent free-throw shooter. That is who I want on the line.”

Lakewood was playing shorthanded for the majority of the game when senior point guard Logan Watson suffered an ankle injury and wasn’t able to return.

“It hurt us a lot,” Lakewood coach Chris Poisson said of Watson suffering the ankle injury early in the second quarter. “Logan is our engine. Without her we are all playing different roles.”

Poisson hopes to have Watson back soon, but admitted she will likely miss a few games next week.

“Injuries you can’t control. You just deal with them,” Poisson said. “Adversity is opportunity in disguise. Can we become better players and a better team? Then Logan comes back and we’ll be even better. That is how we’ll look at it.”

Coach Meeks gave a lot of credit to Poisson after the game.

“Chris is the best coach I’ve ever gone against. That’s not disre-

spect to a lot of great coaches,” Coach Meeks said of Poisson, who has built Lakewood into a perennial top-10 program in 5A over the last decade.

A-West now prepares for its biggest rival — Ralston Valley (9-4, 0-0). The Wildcats host the Mustangs in a boys/girls varsity doubleheader on Wednesday, Jan. 26, with the boys tipping off at 5:30 p.m. and the girls game to follow.

“RV is a very big rival for us,” Brooke said. “We have always been the underdog against them. This year we are just going to go out and play our game. Hopefully we can come out with a win or at least say we tried our hardest.”

Ralston Valley had a big nonleague test Jan. 22 against one of the top teams in 4A. The Mustangs traveled to Mullen. Ralston Valley lost 49-38.

“Everyone kind of knows it’s Valor’s league to lose,” Coach Meeks said. “I think the rest of us are kind of clawing at each other.

Ralston Valley is extremely talented. Jeff Gomer (Ralston Valley coach) does a great job. It’s going to be tough for us. We have to play better than we did tonight.”

Green Mountain slides past D’Evelyn in top-10 showdown

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — Green Mountain’s girls basketball team is a perfect 10-0.

The Rams — No. 4 in the latest CHSAANow.com Class 4A girls basketball rankings — faced their toughest conference test so far this season Jan. 19. Green Mountain (11-0 record, 6-0 in 4A Jeffco) passed with flying colors in a 51-34 home victory over No. 8 D’Evelyn.

“There are so many good things to say about so many of our girls,” Green Mountain coach Darren Pitzner said.

Green Mountain never trailed, but a 6-0 run by D’Evelyn (12-2, 6-1) evened the game at 10-10 heading to the second quarter. While the Rams came in on a 9-game winning streak, the Jaguars had an 8-game winning streak.

The Rams’ trio of seniors Avery Oaster, Shea Murphy along with junior Jayda Maves led the way. Maves finished with a game-high 15 points.

Oaster had 13 points and Murphy poured in 14 points as Green Mountain pushed its 4A Jeffco League winning streak to 32 games dating back three years.

“Our kids were super prepared,” D’Evelyn coach Chris Olson said.

“But let’s face it. Avery is the best post player in the league. Jayda is a 2-time league MVP. What do you do?

You try to contain them, but they are going to get their points.”

Murphy was huge in giving the Rams a 22-16 lead at halftime. The senior captain had 8 points in the second quarter as the Jaguars focused on trying to prevent Maves from getting good looks at the basket.

Senior Morgan Falconer had a strong game defensively and hit a big 3-pointer early in the fourth quarter that pushed the Rams’ lead to 38-26.

“Our defense and our scramble defense is what really got us through,” Oaster said. “A lot of teams don’t realize that it’s not just Jayda and I. A lot of other teammates can step up. Falconer has stepped up multiple times to hit those type of 3s.”

While D’Evelyn held Oaster and Maves below their scoring average, other Rams stepped up to grab yet another conference win and keep Green Mountain undefeated on the season.

“Shea had a really good second quarter and Morgan hit that 3-pointer,” Olson said. “We just didn’t have that tonight. We kept missing and they would answer on the other end.”

Green Mountain outscored D’Evelyn 29-16 in the second half thanks to a handful of steals that turned into breakaway layups. One

D’Evelyn’s Macy Scheer, Maddie Topping and Mikky Smith battle for a rebound with Green Mountain senior Avery Oaster during the Class 4A Jeffco League game Jan. 19 at Green Mountain High School. Oaster had a double-double (13 points and 11 rebounds) as the PHOTOS BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS Rams won their 32nd straight conference game dating back three years.

of those transition buckets on a layup by Murphy gave the Rams’ its largest lead of the game at 47-28 midway through the fourth quarter.

“Our girls just have to stay faithful in themselves that they are going to make those runs,” Pitzner said. “It just took a little longer tonight to get going because D’Evelyn works so hard and are so well-coached.”

D’Evelyn sophomore Peyton Marvel scored 11 of her team-high 13 points in the second half. Marvel came into the game averaging a double-double with 19.1 points and 15.3 rebounds per game.

“Marvel is just such a great worker when the ball is in the air,” Pitzner said. “Everyone on D’Evelyn can shoot and score. When the ball was in the air we wanted to focus on Peyton. That was a battle inside.”

Green Mountain and D’Evelyn will meet again on Feb. 11 in another league game. The Jaguars will host the next time.

“It’s an intense rivalry, but a positive rivalry,” Pitzner said.

Traffic on Interstate 25 in Denver last May.

‘Personal choices’ behind surge in traffic deaths Officials study statewide increase, with total for 2021 likely to top 700

BY PAOLO ZIALCITA CPR NEWS

Preliminary data from the Colorado Department of Transportation shows 672 people died on Colorado roads in 2021, the state’s most since 2002.

That number is expected to exceed 700 once final tallies come in, according to Colorado State Patrol chief Matthew Packard. During a Jan. 19 press conference announcing the record, Packard urged people to take personal responsibility for reducing traffic deaths. He

said too many people get behind the wheel while impaired, or are distracted when on the road.

“It’s appalling to me to think that that many people senselessly lose their lives in something that we do every day,” Packard said.

Overall, the state has seen a 50 percent increase in traffic deaths since 2011, and deaths on Colorado roadways increased by 8 percent last year compared to 2020. The early count shows 432 crashes involved people in cars and trucks, while 145 were motorcycle or bicycle riders.

In addition, 87 pedestrians were killed by incoming traffic.

Colorado Springs and greater El Paso County had the most road fatalities in the state last year, with 77. Denver reported 65 fatal crashes SEE TRAFFIC, P23

State considers whether to let local public workers unionize Prospective bill could grant thousands more public employees a seat at the negotiating table

BY THY VO COLORADO SUN

A bill that would grant more public employees in Colorado the right to unionize is shaping up to be the next big labor fight at the state Capitol.

The proposal, sponsored by House Majority Leader Daneya Esgar, a Pueblo Democrat, would allow people working for cities, counties, schools, public hospitals and other local government entities the right to collectively bargain.

It would be a major expansion of labor rights for those workers, who can currently form unions but don’t have negotiating power over their work conditions, unless they are recognized by voters or the organization they work for.

“We want to make sure it doesn’t matter where you live, you have the right to bargain,” Esgar said.

Although the measure has not been introduced and many details are still in flux, labor groups say it’s the last major piece in their long effort to expand collective bargaining for workers in Colorado. In 2020, Democratic lawmakers passed a measure allowing the

union for nearly 28,000 state workers to collectively bargain. Labor advocates had another win last year when they passed a contentious law granting agricultural workers minimum wage, collective bargaining and other protections.

“This is the unfinished business of making sure all Coloradans have the freedom to join a union,” said Dennis Dougherty, executive director of the Colorado AFL-CIO. This year’s effort has garnered early opposition from conservatives and public sector groups, including the Colorado Municipal League, a powerful advocacy organization representing cities and towns that argues the measure would unconstitutionally infringe on local control.

“Local governments and their voters are fully equipped to be able to have the conversation locally and determine what’s appropriate,” said Kevin Bommer, the group’s executive director.

The conservative dark money nonprofit Advance Colorado Action says it will spend six figures on a direct mail and digital ad campaign against the measure, Gov. Jared Polis and Democratic lawmakers.

And Advance Colorado Institute, an affiliated nonprofit, says it will sue to overturn the proposal if it becomes law.

State Sen. Bob Gardner, a Colorado Springs Republican, argues that without limits on strikes, the measure would give public employees far too much power.

“It’s an extraordinary, unimaginable piece of leverage being handed to public employees,” Gardner said.

There’s another big hurdle for proponents of the bill: getting the governor’s approval. Polis doesn’t support the bill “in its current form,” spokesman Conor Cahill said, though he did not cite any specific part of the bill.

“The governor was proud to sign legislation that provides the state workforce collective bargaining while striking a balance between collective bargaining and elected representation,” Cahill said in a statement. “The door is open to a much narrower legislation to expand collective bargaining and the governor hopes the advocates engage local governments more earlier in this process.”

A major expansion of the right to unionize The coronavirus pandemic highlighted how essential public workers are to society, said Esgar.

And while there are already laws that give most private sector workers the right to organize and force their employers to the bargaining table, Coloradans working for local government, schools and public hospitals and universities don’t have that ability.

“Many everyday public heroes who take care of our kids, clear off roads and respond to emergencies, they don’t have collective bargaining rights,” Esgar said. “(This bill) gives us a huge opportunity to level SEE LEGISLATURE, P31

during the same period.

Police officials from around the state said they plan to expand enforcement in areas with a disproportionate share of fatalities. But they argued during Tuesday’s briefing that a systemic crackdown on traffic safety is not the solution.

“The causations we’ve talked about today that cause accidents, those are personal choices,” Colorado Springs Police Department chief Vincent Niski said. “It’s not infrastructure, a lot of it’s not infrastructure. A lot of it’s not about public transit. It is about a personal choice to run a red light.”

CDOT director of maintenance and operations John Lorme acknowledged asking Coloradans to be more careful does not guarantee change, but he reminded people worried about road safety that improving other transportation options would make residents less dependent on driving.

“CDOT knows that we can’t grow out of this problem,” he said. “One of the ways that we can [improve] is to increase transit availability to everybody within the state.”

LEGISLATURE FROM PAGE 23

that playing field and create equity and fairness for working families across the state.”

A number of local public workers have tried unsuccessfully in recent years to unionize under current law.

Last year, nurses and other workers at UCHealth and Denver Health tried to form a union, but their efforts weren’t recognized by their employers.

In Colorado Springs, voters turned down a 2019 ballot measure that would have amended the city’s charter to allow local firefighters to form a union.

In Denver, which allows collective bargaining by rank-and-file police and fire employees, efforts over the last two decades to bring a charter amendment granting bargaining rights to other city employees have failed.

Among Colorado’s 272 cities, just 16 currently allow some or all of their workers to unionize.

The forthcoming bill could grant more than 250,000 more public workers the right to collective bargaining, said Dougherty, the AFL-CIO president.

“You can have near-unanimous support for a union, go to a board and they can say, ‘We’re not interested,’” Dougherty said. “This should be a fundamental right.”

The proposal is the AFL-CIO’s No. 1 focus this session, Dougherty said.

It also comes after the union told Democratic lawmakers that it would suspend fundraising for Democratic legislative groups until May 2022 because their interests have been “excluded.”

The AFL-CIO is not basing its funding decisions on support for the bill, he said. But recent discussions with Democrats about working relationships have been productive and are “headed in a positive direction.”

Many details are still unclear This isn’t the first year lawmakers have mulled whether to expand the number of public employees who can unionize.

Last year, a draft of a similar proposal allowing county and municipal workers to more easily collectively bargain was circulating

ahead of the legislative session. But a bill was never introduced.

Esgar hopes to introduce her measure this year at the end of January.

But many policy details are still uncertain, said Senate Majority Leader Steve Fenberg, a Boulder Democrat who is working on the legislation, too.

“There’s still a lot of conversation on what it is,” Fenberg said of the prospective measure. “Who it applies to, what exactly it is — it’s a little too soon to say. I think the caucuses generally want to do what they can to move collective bargaining rights forward for all employees, not just state workers.”

Many interest groups wait until a measure is introduced before taking any official positions. But the Colorado Municipal League said it’s likely to oppose the measure no matter what exemptions or carve-outs end up in the final text.

“It has little to do with whether or not there should be collective bargaining,” Bommer said, adding that the league has opposed past attempts by the legislature to ban public-sector collective bargaining on the same principle. “Employment matters at the local level should be a matter of home rule and local control.”

The group argues the soon-to-be

measure would infringe on the constitutional right of cities that operate under “home rule” charters, which is nearly 100 Colorado cities and towns. The home-rule status gives the municipalities the right to self-govern in policy issues of “local concern.”

But if Democrats do decide to pursue the legislation, CML and Gardner said there should be limits placed on the ability of the affected workers to strike. The 2020 law allowing the state workers’ union to collectively bargain prohibits them from striking.

Gardner said he would advocate for the same prohibition under the new proposal to avoid employee groups “holding the state hostage” by disrupting government services.

“They would have extraordinary power, coupled with this right of concerted action … to just walk off the job of providing state services,” Gardner said.

According to the AFL-CIO, the latest draft of the prospective bill includes requirements that public safety workers – people working for law enforcement and fire departments – use arbitration to settle an impasse and prohibits them from striking. The draft bill wouldn’t otherwise limit strike activity.

“I wouldn’t say we’ve landed any-

where,” Fenberg said, but “everybody recognizes there are certain professions and certain lines of work that have to be there for public safety purposes.”

Proponents also dispute CML’s argument that requiring cities and towns to recognize employee unions would infringe on home rule, arguing the requirement would be similar to state laws governing anti-discrimination and worker’s compensation that apply to all municipalities.

Bommer also raised concerns that the proposal would affect existing bargaining agreements brokered by local governments or passed by their voters, and about language in earlier drafts that lay out specific requirements for the bargaining process.

Workers would still need to win the support of their coworkers to form a union and go through a negotiating process with their public employer, Esgar said.
