Inside Je co Kids First, and Ganahl’s furor over students

BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Over the summer, the members of a Facebook group called Jeffco Kids First began shifting their concern away from pandemic policies in schools to identities it deemed disruptive to learning. A leading voice in the group told parents to empower their children to find “fur-

ries,” kids who dress up in animal accessories, and to record them.

“If any of your kids would be willing to record anonymous audio of their experiences with furries hissing, barking, clawing, chasing, and how it affects their school day, please send to me or let me know ASAP!” Jeffco Kids First creator Lindsay Datko, a parent in Jefferson County Public Schools, posted.

Details like these have not been widely publicized because the Facebook group is private, meaning only members can see what is posted. After being denied entry to the group, Colorado Community Media gained access through a member who wanted the group’s content to be public.

School officials say the group’s activities can be disruptive and harm-

Passionate beginnings and sorrowful endings engulf Baroque Chamber Orchestra’s audience

BY ANDREW FRAIELI AFRAIELI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Aspens may be turning yellow outside, but inside the Lakewood Cultural Center Oct. 9, the Baroque Chamber Orchestra presented all four seasons through the language of Vivaldi.

The Orchestra began not with Spring though, but Vivaldi’s Concer-

to in D Major, bolstering even more expectation and anticipation for the season.

But before Spring began, the soloist, Pauline Kempf began a prelude they created specifically for the occasion. Frank Nowell, founder and artistic director of the orchestra, challenged each soloist to create their own prelude to the concerto they’d be performing, and they suc-

ceeded with flying colors and intuitive passions.

Kempf’s prelude to Spring brought the sounds of the season to life, with birds chirping, and a sense of pure curiosity, passionate beginnings and escape from a darker time. The excitement of something new perfectly began the season of new starts.

ful to kids. But it has some strong backers, including Heidi Ganahl, the Republican Party’s nominee in this fall’s Colorado gubernatorial race. She’s also a member of the group.

Homeless navigation program gives update

BY ANDREW FRAIELI AFRAIELI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Wheat Ridge homeless navigation program updated City Council Oct. 3 on its progress in housing homeless residents since its last meeting in February, also describing the Severe Weather Shelter Network starting for the season.

Started in December of 2020, the program aims to put people experiencing homelessness in Wheat Ridge into homes.

Rebekah Raudabaugh — the homeless navigator — directly supports those people, collaborating with local nonprofits and community resources, and Kory Kolar — the housing navigator — helps those who are “housing search ready,” or at risk of homelessness, find those homes.

“I’m sure that you know many people are one missed paycheck away, so you can consider that as at risk of homelessness,” explained

of you over the past couple

years,” Ganahl said in a post in Jeffco Kids First. “You are

fighting for our kids every day in the classroom and in school. I want to be a voice for all of you.”

Ganahl has used the issue to spark furor during press interviews.

“Not many people know that we have furries in Colorado schools,” Ganahl said in a Sept. 24 KNUS radio interview.“Have you heard about this? Yeah, kids identifying as cats. It sounds absolutely ridiculous, but it’s happening all over Colorado and schools are tolerating it. It’s insane.”

Ganahl pointed to Jefferson County Schools in the interview.

While principals can act to minimize distractions at schools, like placing restrictions on disruptive attire, the tactics of Jeffco Kids First amount to an attack on children, School Board President Stephanie Schooley told Colorado Community Media.

“What I want is for people to stop demonizing our kids,” Schooley said. “That’s what I feel like has been happening, that in objecting to and playing some of these identity politics, our kids hear this language … and they don’t understand why people hate them for who they are, for how they were born and who they’ve become. They don’t understand and that is, psychologically, so very damaging. It makes my heart hurt.”

Inside Jeffco Kids First

Neither Datko nor Ganahl responded to Colorado Community Media’s requests for interviews about the Facebook group’s activities.

Last month, Datko urged the nearly 6,000 members of Jeffco Kids First to have their kids secretly record their classmates.

“The media is trying to spin this,” Datko wrote in the post.

A member of the group posted an additional suggestion: “go on tiktok and use the keywords furries and Colorado school.”

A Colorado Community Media search of TikTok found numerous posts where purported students in the state recorded

videos of classmates, who seemed unaware they were being filmed dressed in costumes and accessories. Some posts contained threats against the students being filmed.

One post of a student apparently filmed without their knowledge contained the hashtag “#killfurrys.” Other posts harshly mocked the students.

Other TikTok posts showed kids who described being bullied for wearing furry costumes or being associated with furries. Some of them complained that they were targeted.

Several middle-school-aged students at one Jefferson County school who were interviewed for this story said “between 10 and 20” students occasionally dressed up in animal accessories at their school. The students said kids were wearing animal-themed accessories, such as headbands or tails.

The students said the accessories were not disruptive to their learning, as the students who dress up were not allowed to wear the accessories in a classroom setting.

The students added that few students wear such items to school and do it only occasionally. Moreover, the frequency had declined dramatically after their principal cautioned students against it, the students interviewed said. The students also described feeling stressed and fearful of other bullying, especially online.

“I think we need to decipher between what is a furry and a

kid wearing cat ears,” one Jeffco parent told Colorado Community Media. “Is a furry a kid wearing cat ears or what I see adults in Olde Town Arvada wearing sometimes? A (sports) mascot could be considered a furry by this group’s definition.”

Every student and parent interviewed for this story asked to be anonymous because they fear retaliation. They asked that their school not be identified in the story for the same reasons.

Even members of Jeffco Kids First seem caught in the crosshairs. One posted an account of their own child’s experience of dressing up.

“So, my daughter wanted to be a furry,” the Oct. 7 post said. “I didn’t give my opinion and just observed. She is shy and quiet. Her and her friend liked the movie, ‘Wonder’ because of the ability to hide. Their choice of animal was a raptor … They decorated it with fur and made it girly.

“When the boy next door heard my daughter was a ‘furry,’ he was disgusted,” the post continued. “I asked him why, and he said he doesn’t have time for that nonsense with all his sports … Well, my daughter now is moving away from furries because of the bad rap … My current view is that furries are still on the low here. I could be wrong.”

In response, one Jeffco Kids First group member wrote: “I appreciate the courage it took to post this.”

Is Je co Kids First anti-LGBTQ+?

The controversy swirling around

“furries” has at times been linked to anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric, particularly gender identity issues, like the pronouns students use to identify themselves.

But observers of Jeffco Kids First, like Schooley, who is not a member of the group, are hesitant to call the group antiLGBTQ+.

“Their group is large,” Schooley said. “I am always hesitant to put blanket statements out about large groups of people. What they put out as an organization, there’s nothing objectionable when you look at their graphic that says what they’re for, what they’re against.”

The graphic Schooley points to says Jeffco Kids First advocates for “parental consent, classroom transparency, parental choice and respect, greater communication with teachers and schools, consideration of sensitive topics and student backgrounds’’ and “unity.” The graphic says the group opposes “hate, division, veering from state standards and approved curriculum, removal of rights, removal of diversity, removal of resources and supports for students.”

Yet the group has questioned practices pertaining to transgender students. Founder Lindsay Datko posted a graphic: “Ask my child their name, not their pronouns,” and has cited Jefferson County Schools’ policy on controversial/sensitive issues, arguing that gender identity falls

into that category, claiming that students are being forced to share pronouns against their will.

“Let’s think about something: Is asking every child their pronouns productive to the transgender community?” Datko posted on Sept. 26. “Students are forced in nearly every (if not every) secondary school.”

Schooley doesn’t consider gender identity something that falls under the controversial topics policy, which was last updated in 2013. It allows for students or parents to request alternative programming if they take issue with parts of the curriculum that represent ‘differing underlying values, beliefs, and interests’ from those of a parent or student.

“For me, the controversial

topics policy is really to provide parents with the opportunity to understand what their kids are learning and content, and if that content is not something that they appreciate for their child, to provide a process to have an alternative,” Schooley said. “I do not support, in any way, shape or form, having the identities of our students, their families or our staff be anywhere near the controversial issues policy.”

Jeffco Schools Board Treasurer Danielle Varda agrees.

“Some people have invoked the controversial topics policy in regards to concerns about asking kids about their preferred pronouns,” Varda said. “However, the policy only covers sensitive topics that may be covered in instruction and by the curriculum.”

Schooley added that, to her knowledge, no child in the Jeffco district is mandated to share pro-

nouns and explained how making pronoun disclosure optional also protects LGBTQ+ students.

“If a student didn’t feel comfortable — and it’s not just students who object, who think it’s silly to use pronouns, because I know there are people that prefer not to even consider them — and we also have students who are struggling with their gender identity and don’t want to declare ‘I’m this or that,’ because they don’t know yet,” Schooley said. “We want to be able to honor all of that spectrum, and we do that by making it optional. There are teachers that will ask. Students have no obligation.”

Schooley said some of the messaging from Jeffco Kids First has sparked some anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments from group members.

“My experience has been people writing me letters who are representatives of that group, not at the very top, but members of

that group, and it is pretty harsh rhetoric in a lot of those letters,” Schooley said. “I would say that with that, it’s pretty clearly uncomfortable with having LGBTQIA+, having the letters put in that order and talked about with children.

“To me, is it anti-LGBTQ+?

The letters I’ve received were,” Schooley continued. “I’m not calling the entire group that. That’s not fair at all, but the letters I’ve received, some of them were specifically very hard to read.”

Colorado Community Media intends to file a Colorado Open Records Act request for the letters.

Jeffco Schools Executive Director of Communications Kimberly Eloe said that the district did not promise to review or change any district policy after meeting with representatives

Homes That Survived the Marshall Fire Were Airtight and Had ‘Conditioned’ Attics

One of the free lectures associated with the Oct. 1st tour of “green” homes was a fascinating presentation by Paul Kriescher of Bowman Consulting based on a study of the few homes which survived the Dec. 31st Marshall Fire while those around them burned to the ground.

You’ll recall that it was the hurricane-force winds that were responsible for the fast spread of the Marshall Fire. Flying embers were what caused homes to catch fire in rapid succession. According to Paul, there’s a simple reason why those embers didn’t torch certain houses. It was because they didn’t get inside the homes or their attics.

The standard developer-built homes are “leaky” and built with ventilated attics. As I have explained previously, the standard procedure for finding and sealing the places where air can enter your home is to conduct a “blower-door test.” This involves installing a computerized fan in a doorway and sucking the air out of a house. The computer on that fan will tell you how leaky your house is — how many air changes per hour your home can expect during a certain wind speed. While that fan is operating, the technician can go through your house and determine all the places where air is coming into your home so that

they can be caulked or otherwise sealed.

Many of those places are going to be around windows or on the rim joist — where your floor joists rest on the concrete foundation.

The goal is to get your home to a degree of air tightness at which you achieve two air changes per hour or less. Once you achieve that degree of air tightness, you then install an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) to bring filtered outside air into your home while expelling air from your home. Making your living quarters more air tight can keep burning embers from entering your home. Combine that with having noncombustible exterior siding, decks and landscaping, and you go a long way toward preventing burning embers from being sucked into your home — and to keeping ash and smoke from making your home unlivable if it doesn’t burn down.

But the most critical area to seal is your attic. Your home probably has an attic which is vented. Blown-in insulation sits on your attic floor to keep your living quarters warm in the winter, while soffit vents combine with roof vents to draw outside air through your attic. This controls moisture buildup but is also ideal for draw-

Fine Ranch Home in Littleton

This beautifully updated 4-bedroom ranch at 11152 W. Crestline Drive is in the Sunrise Creek subdivision of unincorporated Jefferson County, east of Simms Street and south of Belleview Avenue. The updated eat-in kitchen (with breakfast bar, too) has gorgeous light colored slab granite countertops and is open to the family room. A sliding glass door from the dining area of the kitchen opens to a large pergola-covered patio overlooking the backyard, which is fully fenced and makes excellent use of the quarter-acre corner lot. The partial basement is fully finished, providing an extra bedroom, bathroom and second family room. The narrated video walk-through, narrated by Jim Smith, will give you a good understanding of just how excellent a home this could be for you! Find it and more photos and info at www.

ing burning embers into your attic which can then light your entire house on fire.

Some builders have switched to building homes with “conditioned” attics, meaning that the underside of the roof is insulated and all vents eliminated. Thus, the attic itself is insulated like the rest of the house. With no vents in your attic, those flying embers blow past your house instead of entering it.

There’s a subdivision in Arvada built by Meritage Homes called Richards Farm. It’s on the north side of 72nd Avenue, across from the Apex Center. Our agents were invited to tour it while it was under construction, and the builder showed us their conditioned attics. The reason the attics were conditioned had nothing to do with fire prevention. They were running heat ducts through the attic, and by insulating the attic, it made the ducts more efficient.

But now we know the most important reason for conditioning an attic, and I bet we’ll see building codes changed to require conditioned attics.

I learned another disadvantage of vented attics from participating in the 1993 Jimmy Carter Work Project, which built 28 Habitat for Humanity homes on the Cheyenne River Sioux Indian Reservation in Eagle Butte, South Dakota. Those one-story homes all had vented attics. Within months of completing those homes there was a blizzard which filled the attics of those homes with snow, which entered throught he soffit vents. The snow then melted, causing the drywall ceilings to fall, causing immense damage. The homes had to be vacated and rebuilt on the inside the very next summer. The reservation had no building codes to follow, but if it did it would probably not allow vented attics.

Volunteer Sought to Help With Styrofoam Corral

As you may know, we operates a “Styrofoam Corral” behind our former office building at 17695 S. Golden Rd. It is so popular that we take as many as three truckloads of the material to the recycling center every month, keeping over 300 cubic yards out of landfills.

Operating the corral requires daily attention, which I am happy to provide, but I could use some help,

especially when I go on vacation — and Rita and I have a vacation coming up in December.

If you are passionate, as we are, about keeping Styrofoam out of landfills, give me a call at 303-525-1851. I’d like to meet you at the corral some day and show you what’s involved in servicing the corral and take you with me to the recycling center.

Congratulations to Chuck Brown,

of Jeffco Kids First, despite posts in the group claiming otherwise.

When Colorado Community Media asked Jeffco Schools Superintendent Tracy Dorland for a comment on this story, a statement from the district’s communications department was issued without attribution to Dorland or the opportunity to interview her.

“Jeffco Public Schools has district policy around appropriate dress code,” it states. “If clothing is disruptive, district policy gives the principal power to place restrictions

it, this would include students dressing in costume. We do not have litter boxes in schools.”

Lindsay Datko, in her own words Datko did not respond to interview requests from Colorado Community Media. However, in audio obtained from an Oct. 4 forum hosted by Datko for Republican political candidates, Datko explains the proliferation and evolution of Jeffco Kids First.

Datko said that the group began in 2020 in response to COVID-19 policies and lobbied the school district and the county health department to relax restrictions on students in the early months of the pandemic.

She claimed that other issues, including what she calls parental transparency, had come to her attention during this time, but she waited to shift the focus of Jeffco Kids First out of fear of losing members.

“We kept pushing it off and push-

ing it off because we had such a clear mission to fulfill at that time during the pandemic,” Datko said of parental transparency. She said she warned group members, “’We know we might lose you; we’re going to turn to these issues and that will be sad, but if you’ll stay, we’d love your perspective and you’ve been such a value.’”

Datko then called Jeffco’s curriculum “appalling” and defined parental choice in her own words.

“Books and literature that are presented, curriculum that’s used … it’s appalling,” Datko said. “It’s shocking. It’s very important that we push for parental choice in every regard. Parental choice consists of being able to move schools, to have a say in controversial topics and what’s asked of our students on

survey, that policy is followed, that policy keeps order, that policy keeps families safe and secure. And it’s being broken right and left.”

Varda, the school board treasurer and a Jeffco parent, said her experience differs from Datko’s.

“I’m proud to be a parent in a District that has overwhelming support for these values and beliefs, and although some groups will say otherwise and try to cast doubt, my experience has been one of transparency and support for the unique needs and identities of my kids,” Varda said.

Schooley said the district has a duty to be clear about its policies and practices, but the engagement from members of Jeffco Kids First isn’t always conducive to discussion.

“I think it’s regrettable that sometimes it feels like in this call for more transparency, greater parent engagement and their pillars, it does feel like there’s not a whole lot of room for conversation,” Schooley said. “That if the district is doing something that parents don’t like, it becomes a very immediate offensive act, a nefarious thing. There’s automatically an ill-intent that’s assigned to it, and I find that challenging because I don’t know where to go with that.”

Schooley also said she is open to conversations and has conversed with “anyone who has asked.”

On Oct. 4, Datko maintained that Jeffco Kids First is a bipartisan group and declared that she would continue to pursue her version of parental transparency.

“Hopefully they can see though that we don’t always agree, we are united behind choice, and we can honor the choices of everybody and fight for that,” Datko said. “And that’s what we’re doing. That’s our new mission.”

‘All the crazy, weird, sometimes awkward and phenomenal experiences of being a kid’

Datko has this year been touted as one of the Ganahl Gals, a women’s group that aims to help Ganahl beat Democrat Jared Polis in the November election.

Ganahl’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

Varda, a mother of three and a tenured professor at the University

of Colorado-Denver, said the furry issue is much ado about nothing.

She emphasized that students are young and exploring their lives in creative ways and it is important for their long-term mental health to be open and authentic, according to her research.

“I am certain that when we give kids not only the academic tools they need to achieve but also meet their social and economic barriers with resources, support, assurances of belonging and love, we will see accelerated learning, improved outcomes and long-term opportunities for success,” Varda said.

Schooley said that while the efforts of Jeffco Kids First have garnered significant media attention and sidetracked district employees, far more letters from the community came in to bolster support for students.

“Once there was an awareness that this group was initiating this letter-writing campaign, we did start getting a lot of letters from parents, community members, students — there were a lot of

students that wrote in — alums of Jeffco schools, very, very grateful and protective of things like GayStraight Alliance clubs in schools, over safe spaces and trusted adults in schools that students can talk to that are LGBTQ friendly, around policies that provide supports and some protections for students,” Schooley said.

“It was pretty overwhelming, that response,” Schooley continued. “It was significantly more emails (that) came in in support of affirming practices than otherwise. Which was great, to me, that’s my value set. I think people mobilized around that out of concern that the district would only hear one perspective and it would be not good for kids.”

The board is in the process of reviewing legal advice pertaining to the policy on controversial topics. If enough board members feel it should be reworked, there could be public hearings.

Schooley said students need support to be themselves.

“There are a whole lot more people in their corner who are

To me, it’s pretty unconscionable.”

Editor’s note: Lindsay Datko contacted Colorado Community Media after online publication of this story to seek a retraction, stating that she sought “anonymous verbal statements from children.” Datko disagreed with the article’s sentence, “Datko urged the nearly 6,000 members of Jeffco Kids First to have their kids secretly record their classmates.” Screenshots from the group show she made that request. Datko confirmed to Colorado Community Media that she received pictures of students but indicated to the group that she has not used them.

Orchestra was clear before, but now engulfing. The visual of all four soloists standing side by side — the violas, the cello, the bass, all together — showcased even more than the piece itself, but the performers’ glee and pleasure in performing together.

“I don’t know there’s one we’ve missed,” said Dean Snyder, an audience member who said he has been seeing the orchestra perform for the last 12 years. “We’re fans,” Snyder and his wife said.

MEET YOUR JEFFERSON COUNTY ELECTION CANDIDATES

Je co Assessor candidate profiles Libby Szabo, Republican

nies as IBM, Microsoft, GE, Oracle, Transamerica, Sun Microsystems and Ford.

Why are you running for Assessor?

I ran four years ago because I thought the office needed new leadership. In my first term, we have dramatically improved the website, and dramatically reduced the percentage of property owners who feel the need to file an appeal. We have embarked on an aggressive plan to improve technology and digitize the office. I am running again because the work isn’t finished. You don’t transition from decades of paper to digital files overnight. You can’t replace enterprise software quickly. Sometimes an office needs change, and sometimes it needs stability and continuity.

What is your biggest strength as a candidate?

I have four years of experience running the office, improving pro-

sis to streamline our work. We’ve developed better data analytics in order to work smarter and more accurately. My biggest strength is identifying leaders and ensuring they are in positions of leadership.

Why do you want to return to work for Je erson County government?

I don’t work for Jefferson County government. I work for the residents and taxpayers of the County. I consider myself a fiduciary of the taxpayers’ money. State law spells out the duties of the office. We need to do those things well, and do them at the lowest possible cost.

The office spends less today than it did four years ago under the prior administration. In spite of giving raises and investing in state-of-theart technology, we have returned $597,000 to the general fund under my watch. Working for the taxpayers is an honor and a sacred trust.

Libby served five years in the State Legislature and six years as County Commissioner.

Why are you running for Assessor?

I am running for assessor to bring a balance to county government. The average citizen needs someone to advocate for their hard-earned money. For too long, the concerns of average citizens have been ignored. We need to remember the County serves its citizens, which provides the tax base that funds the County budget.

What is your biggest strength as a candidate?

My biggest strength is that I am already very familiar with the County and State government structure. I know how things work and where to focus my work on day one. I can hit the ground running on your behalf.

Why do you want to return to work for Je erson County government?

I have deep roots in Jefferson County growing up here I have

ever position I hold and have always

has always been an honor to serve you, my neighbor.

How do you see the role of Assessor working with other departments and o ces in Je erson County?

It is important for county-elected officials to have a vision for the needs of our constituents. Citizens are who we work for. I will work diligently to make sure that the citizens of Jefferson County are of primary importance. Your team at the county will know that I hold the citizens of the county as my number one consideration in decision-making and will encourage them to do the same.

Anything else you want voters to know?

My background is in the mortgage lending and financial services industry, coupled with my knowledge of what it takes to run a small business, means I understand the big picture needs of the Assessor office in county government. I will advocate for reasonable financial policies that allow citizens to thrive.

Je co clerk & recorder candidate profiles

Amanda Gonzalez, Democrat

Bio: Amanda Gonzalez is an attorney and nationally recognized elections expert who lives in Arvada. She has served as a policy analyst, community organizer, staff attorney, professor, CEO and nonprofi t executive director – always with the goal of creating more inclusive, fair, and transparent governments, businesses and communities.

Why are you running for clerk and recorder?

Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder is one of the most important offi ces in the county. The Clerk conducts elections, directs the county’s DMVs, and issues marriage licenses in addition to a number of other important administrative tasks and records keeping. As Coloradans have seen on the national and local level, protecting our voting systems is more important than ever. All Jefferson County residents deserve elections and government processes that they can trust. I’m an attorney, elections expert, and former small business CEO; I want to use that expertise to serve the county where I’ve lived since 2012.

What is your biggest strength as a candidate?

For most of my career I have worked to build systems that protect the health of our democracy – a democracy where everyone is engaged, represented and heard. I’ve helped write and pass laws at the state level that expanded the number of ballot drop boxes in our state, increased the number of counties that offer translated ballots to voters, increase transparency so that voters can better understand who is spending money to infl uence their vote, and helped keep guns out of polling places. I’ll bring voting and elections policy expertise while prioritizing fairness and transparency.

What are your thoughts on recent controversies about election security in the country?

Protecting our voting systems from attacks shouldn’t be a partisan issue. For our democracy to work, voters must have confi dence in the system and I will work to protect the integrity of our elections. Colorado currently has some of the safest and most accessible elections in the county and we should be proud of our elections system while working for continual improvement. In 2020 I ran the state’s largest nonpartisan election protection effort – bringing together Democrats, Republicans, and unaffi liated voters to make sure that the right to vote was protected for every eligible voter.

What would you do to encourage more voter participation, and why do you think that’s important?

Our democracy is strongest when we all participate. Every eligible voter should have a say in the people and policies that impact their lives. I would expand opportunities for community input, dedicate resources to community outreach and education, and ensure that Voter Service and Polling Centers and drop boxes are accessible to all voters – including people who live in more rural parts of Jeffco, people who live in parts of our community who are underserved by transit, and those who have been historically disenfranchised.

Anything else you want voters to know?

For the last four years I’ve focused exclusively on good government and protecting the right to vote – in a time when bad actors are trying to compromise our elections we need an expert with voting rights expertise and leadership experience. I’ve been recognized as a leader in my community, I was the 2015 Colorado Hispanic Bar Association’s Outstanding New Hispanic Lawyers and one of Denver Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 in 2019, and I want to use those leadership skills to bring our community together. I believe we all want a democracy that works for everyone.

Vicki Pyne, Republican

Bio: My husband and I moved to Colorado in 1986. We are the proud parents of 5 beautiful kids, and grandparents to 8.5 amazing grandkids. We have a small business, I work for a nonprofit, and am currently President of the Board of Directors for Apex Park and Recreation District.

Why are you running for Clerk & Recorder?

The Clerk and Recorder’s Office connects with every adult in the county through motor vehicles, licensing, recording documents, passports, or voting. I have lived in the county for 35 years, raised my family here, and volunteered in multiple capacities. This is an important office. I want to use my experience and expertise to improve processes, offer the best services possible, and improve the systems that are in place. That includes bringing back drop-in services to the DMV in addition to the appointment system, eliminating kiosk fees for users, and assuring a secure voting process for all registered voters.

What is your biggest strength as a candidate?

This position includes oversite of multiple processes. I am confident in my ability to oversee and improve these. Additionally, I have experience in budget oversight, program development, management, and policy creation and implementation. These are valuable qualities in a candidate. Most importantly in my mind, is a genuine love and appreciation of my community with a desire to make everyone feel accepted, valued, and heard. In taking this position, I want the opportunity to help people, to respond to their needs, and to improve the experience they have in the offices they pay for with their hard-earned tax dollars.

What are your thoughts on recent controversies about election security in the country?

I don’t think there is any question that every citizen wants a secure and legal election. I am not concerned by people asking questions and wanting answers. I think questioning systems is healthy because we are then motivated to improve processes. When we are in trouble, is when people stop asking or caring. I do know, as a county, we can be better at cleaning up the voter rolls. This would not only assure one vote per legal voter, but it would also be fiscally responsible, and that is not controversial.

Vicki Pyne

What would you do to encourage more voter participation, and why do you think that’s important?

I have five kids, and this is what I said to them: A lot of lives were lost to earn the freedoms and rights we have. A lot of sacrifices have preserved those freedoms and rights. It is the duty of every citizen to vote and have their voice involved in the work of our Republic. I also have been known to say if you don’t vote you don’t have the right to complain, which I say with a smile, but I am serious. Increasing community engagement and voter registration is a priority any Clerk and Recorder should have.

Anything else you want voters to know?

I have served six years on the Board of Directors for Apex PRD. The opportunity to provide programming to every member of our community, responding to their needs, has been a highlight. We are experiencing difficult economics which requires thoughtful consideration of each dollar spent. When I decided to run, I decided raising money for a lasting benefit would mean more than raising money for mailers and robocalls. I set up donations on my website, vickiforjeffco.com, to go straight to Apex PRD, earmarked specifically for an all-abilities playground. If I am elected, I will be honored to serve Jefferson County.

Lesley Dahlkemper, Democrat

Donald Rosier, Republican

Bio: Lesley has called Jeffco home for 27 years and lives in south Jeffco with her family. As your county commissioner, Lesley provides leadership statewide and locally on some of the most pressing issues facing our community including wildfi re risk reduction, opioid prevention, economic development, early childhood education and more.

Why are you running for county commissioner?

Our family has called Jefferson County home for 27 years. It’s a great place to raise a family, start a business, enjoy the outdoors, or retire. As the gateway to the Rockies, Jefferson County offers a quality of life that’s unparalleled. I’m running for re-election because I believe in improving lives and building opportunity across our county. I have a proven track record of successfully addressing wildfire risk reduction, attracting jobs, supporting local businesses, protecting our public lands, increasing trails and open space, fighting the opioid epidemic, and promoting safe, inclusive communities.

What is your biggest strength as a candidate?

For me, success in work and life hinges on integrity, trust, and relationships. It’s about asking questions, seeking different perspectives, listening, and finding common ground. Count on me to bring these skills to the table to find workable, lastingsolutions for our commu-

nity. I know how to build coalitions to tackle some our most pressing issues, including wildfire risk, the opioid epidemic, and COVID recovery. I’ve increased community involvement in the county’s budget decision-making process, too. My experience as a former business owner, journalist, and nonprofit leader has been devoted to improving outcomes in our community and statewide.

As a commissioner, what would you do to support economic development in Jefferson County?

As a former small business owner, I know a robust local economy depends on understanding businesses’ needs and workforce demands. My work with local Chambers of Commerce and on the Jeffco EDC Board ensures we’re attracting new companies to Jeffco, connecting employers and job seekers with the help of our Workforce Center, and leveraging federal COVID recovery dollars. Our online permitting process cuts red tape for businesses. I’m proud of our recent public-private partnership creating a renewable energy park to advance emerging technologies – bringing hundreds of new jobs to Jeffcoand an opportunity to serve as Colorado’s renewable energy hub.

Do you see the county taking a role in a Jefferson County homeless shelter?

Bio: As a 5th generation Coloradoan and Jeffco native (born and raised in Arvada), my roots run deep in our state and county. I have been married to the same wonderful woman for 32-years, father to 3 great kids, I am a registered professional civil engineer, and former 2-term county commissioner.

Why are you running for county commissioner?

I am very concerned with the direction of the county and the actions taken by the commissioners over the past few years. With the over regulation and everchanging rules stifling small business, their desire to raise taxes as the county and the nation suffers from the worst inflationary pressure in over40-years, to their decision to underfund the Sheriffs department, Jefferson County needs a leader who listens to them and represent their interests. I am that proven leader who listens to and engages with the community all while working to develop solutions to our critical needs.

What is your biggest strength as a candidate?

As a former 2-term (8-year) Jeffco commissioner, small business owner, and professional civil engineer, I know what the job entails and can immediately address the issues that need attention on day one. I have a proven track record of actions that streamlined county operations, reduced taxes, increased economic vitality and improved the health

safety and well being of residents across the county. I am a proven servant leader.

As a commissioner, what would you do to support economic development in Jefferson County?

From proposing and then implementing the Countywide Economic Development plan during my first year as commissioner and serving on the board of the Jeffco Economic Development Corporation, working with the many county-based companies to expand all while encouraging new industries to locate within Jeffco, I have the real-world experience and proven results needed to keep Jeffco competitive in today’s economic climate.

Do you see the county taking a role in a Jefferson County homeless shelter?

Over the past few years, Jeffco has seen a significant rise in the homeless population. Weather due to mental health issue, addiction, escaping an abusive situation or financial impacts, the homeless situation in Jeffco and the surrounding communities needs to be address. However, this should not be just a County Government centric activity. With all the great non-profits and faith-based organizations in the area, the county should work with these knowledgeable and experienced groups to encourage and promote an action plan. Non-profits

where I have served for 28 years. I’ve received executive training through Northwestern University, Boston University and nationally assess other police agencies. My wife and I have four children and she is a principal in Jeffco Public Schools.

In light of the recent nationwide spike in crime, without talking about the state, federal government or anyone else, what would you do to bring crime numbers down in Je co if you were elected Sheri ?

Colorado has experienced a crime tsunami over the last 10 years. Over that time, crime increased by 28%; the murder rate doubled; there were record high fentanyl overdose deaths; and we have the highest motor vehicle theft rate in the nation. As the next Sheriff, I will work to make the County safer in a number of ways. I will insist that public safety be a priority in the Commissioners’ budget; implement data driven approaches to address crime; and keep highly trained SROs in schools. Through data and input from the community, we will spot and address emerging crime quickly.

In the wake of recent, highly-publicized mass shooting events and increased gun violence, what is your position on Colorado’s red flag law? Would you enforce it?

The Jeffco Sheriff’s office has a policy that carefully weighs the rights of people to be free from unreasonable search / seizure, with the rights of people to be free from acts of violence. Our U.S. Constitution provides for the right to bear arms. The Sheriff complies with statutory mandates to serve civil process, without qualifiers. The emergency order would be served, only if approved by a judge after

provide factual information about the responder’s conduct during the contact. I will continue the current policy of the Sheriff’s Office.

Outgoing Sheri Shrader was a vocal proponent of guns. He is in favor of both open and concealed carry in Je co’s parks and recreation areas. What is your position on allowing open and concealed carry of firearms in the county’s public parks?

Law-abiding citizens have a right to protect themselves and their families. These same law-abiding citizens should not have to worry about which side of the street they are on or which park they are in as to whether or not they can protect themselves and carry a firearm. Law-abiding citizens are not the problem and restrictions on their lawful and Constitutional rights do not make our community safer. Additionally, the ban in the parks would have been a civil violation and Sheriff’s deputies should be spending their time enforcing criminal violations impacting the community.

In your opinion, what is the biggest challenge for both the Sheri ’s O ce and general law enforcement in the county right now, and in the years ahead?

(See next question)

How do you plan to address those challenges?

There are several challenges for law enforcement in the state to include record crime rates, budgetary issues, police morale, recruitment and retention issues. I will address crime through data driven approaches and insist that public safety is a priority in the County budget to support law enforcement operations and jail services. I will

She assisted in the development of the agencies’ accreditation process. Reggie teaches statewide. She’s a national consultant for The Moss Group, teaching cultural change in reference to the Prison Rape Elimination Act.

In light of the recent nationwide spike in crime, without talking about the state, federal government or anyone else, what would you do to bring crime numbers down in Jeffco if you were elected Sheriff?

It is my goal to centralize services within the county, allowing us to prioritize Deputies on the street. Using data, we will then deploy deputies into high-risk areas. We must also listen to our citizens to make sure that our areas of concern are in line with theirs.

We will utilize evidence-based programs throughout the Sheriff’s Offi ce, which will reduce the rates of repeat offenses.

We will use performance measurements to guide and ensure progress with any approaches we implement.

In the wake of recent, highly-publicized mass shooting events and increased gun violence, what is your position on Colorado’s red flag law?

Would you enforce it?

If there is cause to request an extreme risk protection order, we will enforce it regardless of any personal opinions. Because families know their loved ones better than any offi cer, we should cooperate with the family whenever possible, but each case is unique and must be handled as such. We must do everything we can to keep our citizens safe, which is why I would like to see mental health services

intertwined with this law.

Outgoing Sheriff Shrader was a vocal proponent of guns. He is in favor of both open and concealed carry in Jeffco’s parks and recreation areas. What is your position on allowing open and concealed carry of firearms in the county’s public parks?

My position is that the job of the Sheriff is to enforce the laws that are in place, not just those they like.

If JeffCo Open Space, or any other district, chooses to prohibit concealed weapons within their boundaries, we will respect their right to do so and enforce the law as it is written.

In your opinion, what is the biggest challenge for both the Sheriff’s Office and general law enforcement in the county right now, and in the years ahead?

Community engagement and support signifi cantly impact the retention of staff. The county is losing the expert knowledge that comes from having a seasoned work force. I will change that.

The biggest challenge in law enforcement right now is building trust and engagement with the community. I believe that the best way to improve that relationship is to cultivate and retain the best possible staff.

How do you plan to address those challenges?

I will put our recruiters to work attracting the best candidates available. We will then provide them with the most effective training possible. We will develop the tools and partnerships needed to meet the expectations of our citizens, and to allow our offi cers to serve with dignity and respect.

Je co coroner candidate profile: Annette Cannon, Democrat

Bio: Dr. Cannon currently is the Jefferson County Coroner and is an RN with over 35 years of experience. Her education includes an MSN in Nursing, MA in Management, and a PhD in Healthcare Administration. She has experience as a Psychiatric nurse, Forensic nurse, and as a Nurse Educator and Leader, and was previously an NREMT. She is certified as a Medicolegal Death Investigator through ABMDI.

Why are you running for Coroner?

As your Jefferson County Coroner, I am running for re-election to continue serving the people of Jeffco and to continue with the great strides that have been made since I was elected in 2018. The people of Jeffco deserve to have a coroner’s office that is professional, competent, and compassionate. To me, there is also something very special about keeping commitments, along with being a custodian for the deceased, and a custodian of justice.

What is your biggest strength as a candidate?

My biggest strength as a candidate is my years of experience as your Coroner, my certification and experi-

ence as a death investigator through the American Board of Medicolegal Death Investigators and the Colorado Coroners Association, my medical background and training, my management experience, and my experience as an RN and as a forensic Nurse. I am very committed and dedicated to my role as Jeffco Coroner, and serving with professionalism, honesty, and compassion.

How do you plan to recruit enough qualified people to work for your office, and how do you plan to retain current employees?

I plan to recruit enough qualified people to work in my office by continuing to adhere to the standards and qualifications required by certifications through the American Board of Medicolegal Death Investigators and the expectations for experience and education set by the office. I plan to retain current employees by continuing to provide them with a great working environment, addressing their needs, and by continuing to advocate for them on a personal and career level. I will continue a focus on equity, diversity, and inclusion for all staff and have an expectation of respect for one another.

Do you think the Coroner’s office should have a role in informing/educating on public health trends?

I think the Coroner plays an important role in both informing and educating on public health trends. We provide statistics to other departments and reporting systems on a regular basis. We collaborate with Jeffco Public Health on many levels, but we also provide education and training to the public, schools, colleges, organizations, law enforcement, fire and EMS, businesses, and the district attorney’s office, along with any other requests we receive from the public. We provide statistics on our website for the public and we are available to answer any questions.

Anything else you want voters to know?

I take my role as Coroner very seriously. I have been active, engaged, and transparent in these very turbulent, unprecedented times, to reach a higher level of professionalism and to gain recognition in the community, and among other coroner offices. I have provided safety, stability, and a high level of ethics in a time of increasing mass fatality deaths, and increasing

demands and pressure from the public and media. I continue to advocate for the office and staff, and remain dedicated to my position as your Jeffco Coroner.

Why are you running for Treasurer?

As you know, I was elected Jefferson County treasurer in the November 2018 election. Since taking office, my staff and I have been making great strides in improving several areas of the JeffCo Treasurer’s Office. Due to the 2020-22 pandemic, it has taken resiliency by me and the Treasurer’s Office to assist JeffCo taxpayers and to keep our County and special districts funded to provide vital services.

What is your biggest strength as a candidate?

In the 21st century, the public deserves accessible, experienced, engaged and transparent elected officials. I am that elected official – every day! I am always working for Jefferson County, JeffCo families, businesses and YOU! My commitment to you is that if I am re-elected this November, I will NOT run for another office mid-term. I am committed to serving as your Jefferson County Treasurer for the entire four-year term.

Why do you want to return to work for Jefferson County government?

I enjoy working with the public and working for win-win fiscal policy that benefits taxpayers and the County.

How do you see the role of Treasurer working with other departments and o ces in Je erson County?

In 2020, my department distributed CARES Act Funds and other COVID

grants to local businesses and nonprofits based on the criteria from the federal government and the Jefferson County Commissioners. I will continue to support and work with taxpayers and our special districts in 2022 and beyond. The Treasurer’s Office is the county banker and supports other county departments, such as the clerk and recorder, the sheriff and the assessor offices.

Why are you running for Treasurer?

I was asked by the Republican Party to consider running. My first thought was no. Then I got to thinking I am healthy and I could still share my knowledge and experience with the citizens of Jefferson County. This gave me something exciting to look forward to and a way to serve and give back.

What is your biggest strength as a candidate?

Knowledge and experience. I care deeply for the employees. Because I worked at the County for a number of years before being elected, I know firsthand of some the issues they deal with on a daily basis. I would like to be involved in getting back to “normal” after Covid. I have heard from citizens of some of the problems they have had to deal with. I am a very good communicator.

Why do you want to return to work for Je erson County government?

I really enjoy working with the public, employees, and other elected officials. I am very proud of my record of honesty and integrity in all the departments I have worked. I feel because I have been an employee and worked into management it gives me first-hand knowledge about making decisions that affects employees.

How do you see the role of Treasurer working with other departments and o ces in Je erson County?

The Treasurer’s office is the

More than two-thirds of Jeffco is in the WUI where development meets forested areas. Fire risk is exception ally high, water supply is low, and population is growing. These issues are especially urgent for my constitu ents. Jefferson County ranks number one in the state for property loss due to wildfire risk.

What role would you play in wildfire mitigation?

Appointed by Governor to Colo rado Fire Commission, which suc cessfully passed groundbreaking legislation and secured more funding in 2021-22 to reduce risk. Created and chaired Jeffco’s first-ever Wild fire Risk Reduction Task Force to increase mitigation, community edu cation, and funding. Allocated $2.8M in ARPA funding to reduce wildfire risk based, in part, on the task force’s recommendations. Doubled slash collection days for homeowners in 2022. Approved a seven-fold increase in thinning dense forests on 1,000 acres of Jeffco Open Space. Updated the county’s building and residential codes to harden new and existing homes by increasing defensible space and ignition-resistant building mate rials.

What are the two most significant issues facing the county today and how would you propose to address them?

In addition to wildfire risk, housing costs are soaring. With our part ners, we increased affordable senior housing in south Jefferson County

and timely tax bills. We work with more than 200 taxing authorities in the county to ensure that their boundaries are correct and their leadership has the information they need to set their mill levies. We pay for aerial photography to help us identify and value proper ties, and we share that imagery with every department that wants it and with every city, fire district

We must continue to invest HUD dollars that helped us leverage $163 million in private funding and an additional $138 million in other public funding, preserving nearly 1,500 af fordable units since 2012. Jeffco’s also facing a backlog of transportation projects, exacerbated by the labor shortage and skyrocketing costs of materials. We’re pursuing funding, strategically identifying projects, and using innovative approaches to recruit talent.

What one part of county government would receive more attention if you were elected?

Jeffco has faced major budget cuts over several years, especially the general fund which supports every department and elected office in the county, except Jeffco Public Library. We look across all operations for greater efficiencies and innovative approaches to balance the budget. We think strategically about what’s an es sential county service, such as public safety. The Jeffco Sheriff’s Office remains the second-best funded Sher iff’s office in Colorado. It’s a priority for me, including supporting school resource officers and mental health co-responders. I’ve also led efforts to increase your voice in the budget decision-making process to ensure your priorities are heard.

What is your vision for the future of Jefferson County?

Our community has seen significant challenges over the last two years, including addressing mental health issues, financial stability, COVID re sponse and recovery, racial equity, and more. With challenges come opportu nities. In response, we have remained nimble, adapted to constant change, and more deeply connected with our community. Core to this work was updating our strategic plan so people in our community feel engaged and heard as we plan for the future. Our collective vision is to be a county gov ernment that provides equitable, in novative, efficient, and quality service to a thriving and safe community.

Editorial: Lakewood’s 40 West ArtLine — a tone-deaf tour of disparity

Since the late 60s, West Colfax has descended from its neonlit glory days into a stretch of road that was more known for danger than it was for glamour or fun.”

So begins Lakewood’s ArtLine audio tours around West Colfax, describing the shuttering of stores, “neighborhood dynamics” being ignored and the area becoming a “hotbed” of criminal activity.

“However, locals have not given up on West Colfax,” it continues, telling how the 40 West Arts District Hub, located in Lamar Station Plaza, has brought in galleries and stable businesses.

The Artline opened in 2018 thanks to a 2016 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency that gives out grants to communities across the country for arts and arts education. According to Liz Black, executive director of the 40 West Arts District, the purpose of

the ArtLine was to connect various elements of the corridor, like parks and local retailers, as well as to beautify the area. The audio tour aspect was completed in August of this year with three distinct tours for the ArtLine.

As I walked the line listening to them, I realized it led not only a tour of public art, but a tour of the city’s failure to help those who live on the street near the more than $100,000

spent on an art walk meant “to make this a happening place, once again, all while embracing the weird and wonderful history that brought us to where we are today,” as an audio tour describes.

now, Denver. For the last four years I’ve reported on homelessness, and this ArtLine pretends it doesn’t exist.

Before I even began walking the ArtLine, I went into the Burger King in Lamar Station Plaza, elaborated on in the audios as bringing in art and businesses, to use the restroom. I had to ask for a key. As I was leaving, a woman holding a bag who looked as if she might be homeless asked to use the restroom as well. She was told it was for customers only.

The discrimination of bathroom usage is a major problem for those experiencing homelessness in urban areas everywhere, but this started the impression for me that the ArtLine was ignoring other issues the area had.

“I encourage you to stop anywhere along the way to snag a bite to eat, grab a drink or check out any of the stores,” the audio says, as the tour itself becomes of the businesses within the plaza. “That is, after all, the kind of activity that the 40 West Arts District and other West Colfax

Wildfires aren’t going anywhere & communities need our help – we’re delivering

We all remember that frightening day nearly a year ago. In late December – far removed from our usual wildfire season – when a fire blazed in the suburbs outside of Boulder, spreading from neighborhood to neighborhood and forcing 30,000 people to flee their homes while destroying over 1,000 homes and businesses.

Coloradans panicked as they gathered their belongings, tried to keep their kids and pets calm, and rushed to safety without knowing what would come next. We were safely watching from afar, but shared your fears. When will the fires go out? How do we know when to evacuate? Will we ever be able to recover from this?

The Marshall Fire – a catastrophic event that heightened stress and anxiety for Coloradans across the state – caused significant destruction to the communities it touched. We know how painful and scary that evening must have been for those in the fire’s path, causing trauma that lasted for many months after. We also know that wildfires are natural and part of our environment. Unfortunately, due to climate change, they are becoming more intense, more unpredictable, and far more destructive.

These days in Colorado, wildfire season lasts

year round, which means we have to be prepared to respond at any moment – even in the winter. That’s why this year, we made major investments in wildfire prevention and mitigation to help communities rebuild and recover from disastrous wildfires, improve Colorado’s ability to respond to blazes, and better prepare for future disasters.

Our work this session focused on measures to support rebuilding efforts after disaster emergencies, improve insurance claims processes following wildfire disasters, and reduce the risk of future catastrophic wildfires. We also provided unprecedented financial relief to survivors of wildfires

We further invested $35 million to help individuals, businesses, and governments rebuild after disaster emergencies and created the Office of Climate Preparedness, which is tasked with coordinating disaster recovery efforts to better respond to natural disaster emergencies and developing a climate preparedness roadmap to ensure Colorado is better prepared for future climate-induced disasters. We also passed legislation to ensure that homeowners displaced by declared wildfire disasters receive a fair payout from their insurance companies.

Local governments must be equipped with the tools necessary to conduct wildfire mitigation in their own communities, which is why we created a matching grant program to help local governments develop and fund sustainable forest management and wildfire mitigation efforts. We also made sure local volunteer fire departments have the resources to purchase the equipment

Thinking more about names and character HITTING HOME

So, if, as I wrote last week, our oldest daughter’s name should have been “Grace,” there is no question that our second child should be named “Crash.” As in, “Crash Test.”

It’s hard to tell that now, actually. See, as she grew up, she became much better aware of her surroundings, so crashing into stuff became a much less frequent occurrence.

And, for the record, yes — she totally got that from my side of the family.

Even as she grew older, though, there was a still a wonderful, bold, forward quality to how she approached life. Like, when she made a mistake, there was a Cassie-shaped hole in the wall, not unlike Wile E. Coyote. The beauty part was that she didn’t make many mistakes, and that boldness made her an outstanding student leader, and, I believe, will make her a really good teacher.

Boldness is an increasingly rare quality, I think. Well, except for online. Online everybody has the boldness of two tequilas, because the anonymity of the ether makes it possible to believe you’re safe. That’s not really true, of course, as old posts

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

It’s time to speak up for youth mental health

September was Suicide Prevention Month, and now more than ever, it’s time to raise awareness and work together to address the youth mental health crisis in our country. Suicide is an issue that deeply affects us here in Colorado, where suicide is a leading cause of death for young people ages 10-24. According to the 2021 Healthy Kids Colorado Survey, 13.8 percent of high school students in Jefferson County made a plan about how they would attempt suicide during the past twelve months.

In my practice as a pediatrician, I see ever-increasing numbers of patients with mental health concerns. Too often, these patients present in times of crisis, contemplating or already having attempted suicide. For these kids, we have far too few intensive resources. Just as problematic is accessible care for patients who present prior to crisis points, but for whom ongoing mental health care

need, provide training and mental health services to firefighters, and respond safely to fires.

As climate change worsens and drought conditions persist, so will wildfires in the West. This is our new reality, and we have doubled down on our commitment to implementing long term solutions to address this critical issue. If we want to protect and conserve our Colorado way of life, we need to continue to take urgent action to invest in wildfire mitigation and prevention – because this issue is not going away.

Moving forward, we will continue

and picts and twits have started to cost people opportunities in the present. But, still, people say things online that they would never say in person.

Which seems like a real indictment of the cowardice of the age.

page of a newspaper tells you that we’re coming up on a time when boldness will be required, when the mentality to act in the face of the encroaching darkness will be necessary.

dismiss it as a distraction. But, I tried to watch some of his games last year — I couldn’t follow all the activity, all the moving parts, and all the little nuances going on at any given time in an arena with four teammates and five opponents operating in cyberspace. Maybe we should have called him “Spock.”

And then we could spend our lives explaining to him who Spock is.

Michael Alcorn

We’re so used to the creature comforts of the modern era that we’ve forgotten what it is to act. We think, we plan, we have committee meetings, we fall back on platitudes and, when things don’t go how we hoped, we comfort ourselves with our good intentions and give bonus points for trying. We even actively discourage the sort of activities that breed boldness, dismissing as “dangerous” and “toxic” those —admittedly, sometimes foolish — acts that foster decisiveness and courage under fire. And then we sit on our high horses and condemn (after the fact, of course) those who have the courage to act when they, sometimes, get it wrong. But any cursory glance at the front

is prevented by insurance coverage. Improved access to such care might prevent a significant number of these patients from progressing into a more severe crisis.

Unfortunately, youth mental health needs are not unique to Colorado. Last year, the American Academy of Pediatrics and other major medical organizations announced a national state of emergency for child and youth mental health, calling on federal lawmakers to invest in the mental health needs of children, youth and families. Congress is currently considering a bipartisan bill, H.R. 7236, the Strengthen Kids’ Mental Health Now Act, which would provide funding to expand the pediatric mental health care workforce and enhance access to mental health services for kids. I urge Congressman Ed Perlmutter to cosponsor H.R. 7236 and speak up for youth mental health here in Jefferson County.

That is why I have always taken a sort of perverse pride in my daughter’s mindset. Of course, I pray every day that she will never be required to take action of the sort for which we fete our police, our SEAL Teams, or our Zelensky’s. But, going into education, someday she may be required to stand up and defend what is right and what is proper in the face of loud and sustained efforts to force her silence. At least I know she can take it.

She has the bruises to prove it. Our third child, 15, is a completely different sort of character. He is quiet, he is reserved, usually shunning the spotlight. But, from a very early age, we could see the wheels spinning on the soccer pitch. His is a strategic mind that thinks in big picture terms and understands how systems work. Which is why, now that he has stopped playing soccer, he has found a new niche in the world of gaming. And, I know — so many

Thinking of that nature isn’t taught in schools, and there’s not many opportunities for it to flourish in the world of rubrics and test scores. But the real world is run by systemic thinkers, in every arena from cyber-security to drone warfare. He’ll find his place, in time.

And, luckily, he won’t be saddled with the name “Spock” at the top of his resume.

FARMING GROUP HELPS AFGHAN REFUGEES FEEL MORE AT HOME IN DENVER

BY DANA KNOWLES, LINDSEY FORD ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

We don’t have cars. We don’t have transportation. This is our only outing,” explained Mahmude, one of three Afghan refugee women who spoke with Rocky Mountain PBS about their new lives in Colorado.

The women left Afghanistan when the United States completed its military withdrawal last year. None of them wanted to use their last names and all of them spoke

with the help of an interpreter who translated Dari, an Afghan dialect of Farsi, into English.

Mahmude has been in the U.S. for eight months and says Monday is now her favorite day of the week. “This is the highlight of my life, coming here every Monday. I’m happy to be here in the United States as my home country isn’t safe.”

The women come to Ekar Farm, an urban farm next to Denver Academy of Torah that started 14 years ago mainly serving the Jewish community.

In 2020, the pandemic forced

Ekar Farm shift toward doing outreach across the city by collaborating with various nonprofits like Denver’s Metro Caring, an anti-hunger organization. All the produce that Ekar grows is donated to people in the metro area who are experiencing food insecurity, including these Afghan women and their children. Metro Caring and Ekar are partnering with Denver’s International Rescue Committee to transport them back and forth to the farm.

“What seems like a simple opportunity to grow food carries a lot of dimensions. The program

allows the women to be around other people from their home country,” said Mireille Bakhos, who works with International Rescue Committee in Denver. “The media often highlights the war and challenges in Afghanistan but [these] programs are about resilience and the endless possibilities of human connections. It is about the power of people to heal and nurture positive change from the ground up, literally.”

The program runs from May through October due to weather.

COURTESY OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

The women cultivate a small section of land and use the produce to cook fresh meals for their families at home in Denver.

Razye came from Afghanistan to the United States more than three years ago and says she grew up farming in her home country.

“I was a rancher. I had my own animals and I had big farm back in Afghanistan, so when I come to this farm, I feel so excited,” she said, explaining how the toma-

toes and potatoes are her favorites to take home and cook. “We make food that reminds me of my country back home, and that’s the happiest I’ve been.”

Anywhere from 70,000 to 80,000 Afghan refugees are now living in the United States. According to the Colorado Refugee Program, Colorado has welcomed around 2,500 refugees since July of 2022. The United Nations Refugee Agency says that Afghans are one of the largest refugee populations in the world with an estimated 2.6 million registered across the globe in countries like Pakistan and Iran.

For Monira, who has been in Colorado for almost a year, the opportunity to connect and socialize with other women from her country is just as important as bringing home fruit and vegetables.

“First, we come here and we say ‘hello’ and we have a quick chat, and talk, and after that we harvest” she said, adding that being around people come from the same country make it easier to live in a new and unfamiliar place. “This is a country that’s unknown and new for us, so coming here to see people who speak the same language, and we

became fast friends, and we talk.”

Monira hopes her work on the farm can help her life evolve into something new.

“My wish is to be able to start working and repay what people in Colorado have done for us, and find a job to contribute to this country, and this state,” she said.

The ArtLine itself, a green stripe through the center of the sidewalk, can’t even be called a metaphor for the city’s issues, for it literally was a winding path leading to evidence of homelessness and wealth disparities within Lakewood.

Following this metaphor come-tolife through the Art and Leisure Tour eventually leads to a private lot beside Mountair Park. On an old concrete foundation on the other side of the lot is a mural of a person smelling a flower, a kaleidoscope of geometric shapes makes up the subjects in pinks and yellows and blues.

“Titled ‘Take Time,’ this mural is an invitation to do just that. Stop, look at your surroundings, and enjoy the little things, smell the flowers — or in this case, maybe appreciate the art about smelling the flowers,” says the audio tour of the work by the artist Dos. “He painted the mural in 2018, inspired by enjoying time outdoors, an inspiration that echoed one of the main purposes behind the creation of the ArtLine itself.”

Beside the mural, in contrast, were a tent and three shopping carts. The mural, surely, was so inspirational, people chose to permanently enjoy the outdoors right beside it, to always be able to appreciate it.

The lot itself is surrounded by a barbed wire fence, but that too is adorned. Small iridescent tiles reflect ing the sunlight in colors of teal and pink are attached across the whole fence. This piece is called “Healing

Visualization,” by the artist Lauren Culbreth, and according to the Art Line’s audio, it “offers a small glimpse of something wonderful.”

*

“I don’t understand why there’s still homeless people here,” said Marshall Moody, hailing from Texas but home less in Lakewood for at least three years. “There’s so many empty build ings, and all new apartments coming up, too.”

Moody sat under a tree at Lamar Station Plaza, just feet from the sidewalk adorned with the ArtLine’s green metaphor. With him was Paul Johnson, 68, a lifelong native of Lakewood who’s recently back on the streets after being kicked out of public housing.

Moody and Johnson were familiar with Mountair Park, the art around it and the number of people staying there. Moody, exasperated, com plained that no solution is ever given.

“Police show up to tell you to leave, but don’t have an answer as to where we can go,” he said. Even at places offering showers, meals and clothes in Lakewood, such as Main Street Minis tries or The Action Center, no one has a solution, he said: “I’ve been going to all three for three years, and still no one has an answer for where to go.”

Within Lakewood there are no shelters to stay in, the closest being in Denver proper. But it doesn’t matter to Moody; he pointed again to the empty buildings and new apartment buildings and asked, why pay for a shelter building when the city could just buy homes.

“The vision for the ArtLine was to really create a physical connector to a lot of the different elements that

lie along this corridor,” Black said, mentioning the parks, local retailers, the arts district and West Colfax itself. The more that residents and visitors go to these neighborhoods and con nect with them, the more “robust” the local community can become, she continued.

Though the original grant descrip tion for the ArtLine said, partially, that the ArtLine would “reflect the unique context, voice, and culture of the socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhood located along historic West Colfax Avenue and the new W Line light rail in Lakewood, Colo rado.”

If the reflection was meant to be ironic, they succeeded with literal flying colors.

“We’re not trying to necessarily re flect the plight of the neighborhoods through the art; we want the art to be uplifting and to envelop the commu nity, and to really be sparks of pop and joy and light in the local neigh borhoods, and really inspire folks and beautify,” said Black, when asked how that reflection showed in the art.

In general, she said, the neighbor hoods around the ArtLine are “sta tistically some of the poorest com munities in the city of Lakewood, and they’re also statistically lacking in traditional public and free amenities like art installations and open spaces and even sidewalks.”

The art reflected the “unique con text, voice and culture of the socioeco nomically disadvantaged neighbor hood,” as the grant description said, seemingly by being literally next to it and shiny.

Similar to the green line leading to disparity, the tour pushes past irony to the literal in its descriptions, calling one of the three audio tours on the ArtLine the “Grit and Glitter Tour.”

“Find out more about what makes the West Colfax corridor upscale and underbelly, high class and low brow, glitter and grit in this tour that takes you to Aviation Park and through a busy section of the 40 West Arts District.”

According to Black, it’s an “older phrase that we’ve used for many, many years along Colfax.” She said that public perception of Colfax, “long before we had this real growth in our unhoused community,” was “kind of gritty, for a lack of a better word.”

This tour begins, coincidentally,

where Moody and Johnson sat under a tree.

The Arts District has tried to em brace “all of the character and flavor” along Colfax, Black said, “with all of its variety and all of its substance, without shying away from that con versation.”

Black said she believes that “we can both have public art installations … make spaces feel more vibrant for both residents and visitors and acknowledge that we have an issue with the unhoused that is bigger than just the city of Lakewood, or our cor ridor.”

Black made pains to point out how Colfax is not alone in its issues of homelessness.

When asked where the line was, though — between embracing the character and flavor of Colfax, while not intending to focus on the plight of the neighborhoods — Black sug gested referring those questions to Lakewood City Planner Alexis Moore, and Lakewood-West Colfax Business Improvement District Director Wil liam Marino instead.

“At the art district we are keenly aware of the unhoused issue in our corridor, and as a tiny nonprofit, have less of an ability to control that as, say, the folks at city of Lakewood and business improvement district who are doing a lot on this issue,” she said.

The group can’t be expected to solve homelessness, as that’s not its purpose. Moore even elaborated that “several unhoused community mem bers helped paint community ground murals on the route,” and Marino said they want to be “part of the solu tion.” But those unhoused commu nity members were probably sleeping on the street that same night.

Moody and Johnson, who were ex periencing this issue firsthand, were no longer near the ArtLine later that evening; as they elaborated, the police often tell them to move along in these areas.

After all, it might not be, as the audio tour states, “the kind of activity that the 40 West Arts District and other West Colfax champions want you to indulge in.”

Following the recent tragedy in Uvalde, TX., disturbing reports of procedural errors in the tactical response were made public. What can the Sheriff’s Office do to protect Jeffco students from experiencing a similar incident and outcome?

While we should always learn from others’ experience, I have learned not to speculate on sen sational headlines until all of the

Rapid and Immediate Deployment (RAID); and Rescue Task Force. These trainings teach officers to respond as a single officer, or with a team of officers to address a shooter who is actively taking lives. Additionally, we work with Fire personnel to respond during an active shooter incident to save lives. I will continue this training at the Sheriff’s office and ensure that we have highly trained depu ties who respond appropriately in these types of incidents.

What do you consider the biggest criminal issue in Jefferson County, and what would you do to deter it?

Everyday, deputies deal with five intertwined factors that create most of the crimes. These include drugs, stolen cars (105 per day in Colorado), property/vio lent crime, criminals with guns and extensive criminal histories. As Sheriff, I will implement data driven approaches to address

facts have been investigated.

The people of JeffCo have learned all too many times that our focus should be on honestly finding out how and why these events occur so that we can pre vent them in the future, rather than rushing to find someone to blame, possibly in error, only to suffer another incident that should have been prevented.

It is time that we partner with schools, mental health experts, and any other entity that can help keep our community safe. We must also be fully prepared to

emerging crime before it grows and keep highly trained school resource officers in schools. I will also advocate for resources that provide back-end mental health/ drug treatment to help those in jail reintegrate back into soci ety and common sense legisla tion that increases penalties for criminals who steal cars and have guns.

What is your philosophy of policing?

The role of policing is to serve and protect our community. The first duty of a Sheriff is to pro tect citizens’ individual rights. Sir Robert Peel said, “The police are the public, and the public are the police.” Deputies serve the community to protect our safety and individual rights. The Sheriff also has the role through data driven approaches to detect emerging crime and address it be fore it grows. Ultimately, the goal is to build trust in the community

respond swiftly and appropriately when necessary.

What do you consider the biggest criminal issue in Jefferson County, and what would you do to deter it?

Although we have recently experienced several harrowing situations, I recognize that we are currently facing increasing numbers of auto and catalytic converter thefts. Property crime patterns and trends change based on many different factors. Those factors need to be evaluated, so we can deploy the necessary staff to high-risk areas, while edu cating citizens in how they can secure their property and pre vent themselves from becoming victims.

What is your philosophy of policing?

Community Oriented Policing. I will form partnerships to col laborate with the citizens, other law enforcement agencies and organizations that are working toward the development of solu tions to the problems within our community. I intend to build trust within the agency and all those we serve, working to protect our citizens, businesses and visitors

whom we serve by effectively addressing crime and protecting people in a professional, ethical, and constitutional manner.

Anything else you’d like voters to know?

I believe people deserve to live, work, worship and play in a community without fear of being victimized. I’m running for Sheriff to protect our com munity, schools, churches, busi nesses and families. I’ve served the Arvada community for the last 28 years where I’ve built strong community relationships and have helped keep Arvada one of the safest cities in the metro area. I have the executive level experience to become the Sheriff and will implement data driven approaches to address crime. I’m humbled by the endorsements of so many leaders in public safety, including Sheriff Shrader. Please visit bradyforsheriff.com.

Opioid abuse is a national epidemic and Je erson County is not immune from this problem. What can the sheri ’s o ce do to address this issue?

I will re-introduce behavioral health and evidence-based therapies for those in custody.

COVID pandemic imposed by the commissioners led to a devastating fi nancial situation for many businesses in the county and adversely affected the county budget. In 2011 I led the county out of the economic crisis of the great recession without cutting services or raising taxes, and I can do it again.

What one part of county government would receive more attention if you were elected?

It is time our county commissioners work with our sheriff’s department and not against the brave men and women of the law enforcement community. This defund the police policy, publicly supported and acted upon by a few County elected officials, has proven to be a failed policy that not only has seen a rise in crime but puts the lives of county residents at risk every day.

CD7 candidates explore wide-ranging topics

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The three candidates for Colorado’s 7th U.S. congressional district answered a host of questions from stopping gun violence to the U.S. economy during an online candidate forum on Sept. 28.

Republican Erik Aadland, Libertarian Ross Klopf and Democrat Brittany Pettersen, who answered 15 questions during the forum, hope to be elected to the seat in the U.S. House of Representatives vacated by Ed Perlmutter, who decided not to seek reelection.

Members of the House serve twoyear terms.

In addition, as part of redistricting, which takes place every 10 years, the far-reaching district now includes part of Douglas county plus all of Broomfi eld, Jefferson, Gilpin, Clear Creek, Jefferson, Lake, Park, Chaffee, Teller, Fremont and Custer counties.

This is the fi rst election bid for Aadland, who is a West Point graduate, and served in Iraq and Afghanistan before working in the energy sector all over the world. Aadland called addressing out-of-control infl ation by reining

Klopf, who unsuccessfully ran for election in Colorado House District 28 in 2018, is a civil engineer with experience in transportation and water resources engineering. Klopf emphasized throughout the forum that his focus was to empower the Congressional District 7 voters by asking for their input on issues before he

voted. He wanted to end any voter fraud by implementing a system to give power back to voters.

Pettersen represents District 22 in the Colorado Senate, and she served in the Colorado House from 2013-2019. Pettersen called her top three priorities protecting the country’s democracy, helping the country recover from the pandemic and continuing to invest in the transition toward sustainable energy.

The forum, which was online to allow as many people as possible to attend virtually, was sponsored by the League of Women Voters in Chaffee and Jefferson counties. Watch the entire 90-minute forum at lwvchaffeecounty.org.

Accurate, fair elections

“There is the greatest level of distrust in our election system than ever before, and that must be rectifi ed,” Aadland said. “I don’t believe this is a federal issue; it’s a state issue to manage. We need a system where it is impossible to cheat, and it is accessible to all.”

Klopf called election integrity the bedrock of his campaign platform, saying elections should be about the candidate, not the political party.

“If you elect the party, then you agree to an outside entity meddling into elections,” he said. “That opens the door for corruption and fraud because of out-ofstate people getting involved in our elections. I don’t trust (the Democratic and Republican) parties. Both parties have questionable ethics.”

Pettersen explained that the public needed to elect representatives who would follow national

rules for a free and fair presidential election, certifying the vote no matter who the winner is.

Gun violence

Aadland said taking guns away from good citizens while criminals roam the streets is not the answer to gun violence. He advocated for the nation to be tough on crime, having law enforcement present in schools and addressing the mental health component of the gun-violence problem.

Klopf explained that gun violence was not a political issue. Instead, it’s an issue the community must work together to solve, and he wants to form a coalition of advocates from all political parties, and from civic, religious, education and community organization to create solutions.

Pettersen advocated for common-sense gun-safety legislation nationally similar to what Colorado has such as the red-fl ag laws that allow guns to be taken from those who family or law enforcement feel are at risk to themselves or to others, closing backgroundcheck loopholes to purchase a gun and more.

Climate change

Aadland said Congress should lead the effort to move toward more sustainable energy sources, including balancing nuclear energy with oil and natural gas.

To protect the environment and address climate change, Klopf advocated for a multifaceted approach including using cleaner forms of energy and electric cars.

Pettersen added: “What keeps

One dead, others injured after incident at Golden bar

Two men arrested for suspected murder, assault

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One man has died and seven others are injured after a suspect drove a car into a crowd at a Golden bar early Oct. 9. Two men have been arrested and are scheduled to appear in court Oct. 14.

Denver’s Ruben Marquez, 29, was arrested as the reported driver in the incident outside The Rock Rest Lodge at 16005 Mount Vernon Road.

The vehicle’s registered owner, 25-year-old Ernesto DeJesus Avila of Denver, was reportedly a passenger at the time. He also was arrested as a suspected accessory, according to the Jeffco Sheriff’s Office.

On Oct. 10, JCSO identified 26-year-old Adrian Ponce as the victim who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Of the seven who were injured, three had minor injuries that were treated at the scene. Four were transported to the hospital, including two bar employees.

Jenny Fulton, a JCSO spokesperson, said Oct. 10 that one has since been released, and the other three have serious injuries but are expected to survive.

The arrest a davit report

According to witness interviews described in the arrest affidavit, Avila and another passenger in the vehicle described going to The Rock Rest along with Marquez around 8 or 9 p.m. on Oct. 8. The three are cousins, and rode together in Avila’s white Chevrolet Silverado truck to The Rock Rest Lodge to celebrate a birthday.

The group had several mixed drinks throughout the night, and according to witnesses, had talked to Ponce and two of his friends.

One of Ponce’s friends told deputies that he hires former inmates to help them rehabilitate, and Ponce was such a hire. This friend said the discussion between the two groups was only light banter “about gang issues,” according to the arrest affidavits.

However, Avila claimed that, shortly before leaving, he was confronted by two men who asked him about his gang affiliation. He denied being a gang member, and told his cousins it was time to leave.

Around 1:30 a.m. Oct. 9, Avila and the other cousin described getting into Avila’s truck to leave, claiming a group of people surrounded their vehicle and prevented them from leaving.

When they tried to exit the vehicle, they said an altercation started, and the other cousin ran north into the gravel parking lot.

Avila and the other cousin’s accounts differ, and Marquez didn’t provide comment to the JCSO investigators. The other cousin described Avila as the driver, who picked him up as he ran away from the altercation.

Avila described blacking out around that time. He recalled trying to pick up the other passenger on foot, but didn’t recall how the car left the parking space or where it went.

However, other witnesses described a man matching Marquez’s description as being the driver during the incident.

Ponce’s friends, other bar patrons and employees told investigators the two groups were engaged in a verbal confrontation outside the front entrance that escalated into a fight.

Employees went out to break up the fight, and witnesses reported how the white truck drove into a crowd of people. Witnesses described the action as deliberate, with one saying, “The way he swerved into people was on purpose.”

At least seven people were struck, including Ponce, one of his friends, and bar employees. The white truck also reportedly hit a parked car with a person inside. JCSO has clarified how the person inside the parked car was unhurt, but the car sustained significant damage during the incident.

An ongoing investigation

Emergency crews responded to the scene and attended to Ponce, who was later pronounced dead, and those injured in the incident.

The white Chevy Silverado truck was stopped in the area by a JCSO deputy with assistance from Colorado State Patrol. Marquez, Avila and the other cousin were taken into custody without incident. The third is not facing charges at this time, JCSO reported.

Marquez and Avila are scheduled to appear in court Oct. 14 to formally hear the charges filed against them.

Fulton added that investigators haven’t confirmed whether it was a gang-motivated crime, and JCSO doesn’t believe any of the parties involved knew each other before their encounter at The Rock Rest Lodge.

“We do not see this very often,” Fulton continued. “Personally, we haven’t had an incident quite like this since I started here six years ago.”

One person was killed and seven others were injured early Oct. 9 after a man reportedly drove into a crowd outside The Rock Rest Lodge near South Golden Road.

Kolar. “But for our purposes, we tried to narrow it down a little to folks who may be in a hotel, an extended stay, couch-surfing with friends or family, or those at risk of eviction or lease not being renewed.”

Housing assistance can be referrals to rental assistance, and helping them apply, or help with current housing.

Raudabaugh also elaborated on the program’s goal of “functional zero” homelessness, a term used by a housing movement called Built for Zero, describing ending homelessness for certain populations. Heavily focused on veteran and chronic homelessness, Raudabaugh explained they’ve identified 21 veterans in Jeffco experiencing homelessness so far, expecting to find more, and housed 15 in the last 8 months.

For people experiencing homelessness in general, the navigator program has served 166 individuals since it began, Raudabaugh said, with 55 people being enrolled since February. Fifteen of those 166 have gone to transitional housing, which she said could be an emergency shelter, temporary housing like a rehousing program, stayed with family or a friend, paid for a motel, entered a substance use facility, or jail. 36 have gone to permanent stable housing — 28 more since the February update.

Raudabaugh said she has an

active caseload of 58 clients, with Kolar, as housing navigator, having a “growing” caseload of six.

Kolar also announced the seasonal start of the Severe Weather Shelter Network. The network is a coalition of churches across Jeffco that provide emergency shelter from Oct. 1 to April 30 when the temperature drops below 32 degrees and there is humidity, or below 20 regardless.

There is one in Wheat Ridge serving Arvada as well, one in Lakewood serving Golden and Edgewater, and one in Englewood serving Littleton too. Their exact locations can be found on the program’s website.

Each church can hold 40 guests,

though they must register for the season beforehand, must be in by 6 p.m. and out by 7 a.m., and can only bring in, as Kolar described, as many possessions that could fit on their lap. He also explained people would be sleeping on the floor, but supplied blankets.

The network also has criteria for staying, such as the ability to get up off and down to the ground without assistance, a background check and spend a significant or bulk of their time in Jeffco. Pets are also not allowed.

“We realize that not everyone meets those criteria,” said Kolar. “And so we are collaborating with the other navigators and Jeffco Human Services, and we do have

a plan in place to help as many of those who are ineligible as we

Patrick Goff, the Wheat Ridge city manager, also elaborated on a previously initiated program by Jeffco Health and Human Services to open two navigation centers in the county. He said one location was identified already in Arvada, with another more central to be identified soon, though the county and cities have parted with the original company meant to set up the centers, Blueline.

The centers are still planned, but more in the cities’ control, said Goff. They are expected to offer short-term, long-term, and emergency sheltering as well as wraparound services.

Cyberattacks hit multiple communities

State of Colorado sees homepage taken down by foreign entity

BY PAOLO ZIALCITA AND MATT MORET COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

After ransomware disrupted the government services of multiple Colorado communities earlier this year, state officials warned that cybercrime is on the rise.

That alert rang true on Oct. 5 when a cyberattack from a foreign entity took down Colorado. gov, the homepage for the state’s online services.

The attack seems to be limited to the main directory page, with state services still available through their individual websites. There’s currently no timeline for the homepage’s restoration.

A Russian-speaking group known as Killnet claimed responsibility for Wednesday’s website outages in a post on Telegram, an instant messaging service that’s grown in popularity outside the United States. The “hacktivist” group ramped up its activity in NATO countries after Russia invaded Ukraine. This latest attack also took down government websites in other states, including Alabama, Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky and Mississippi. Some of those pages are now back online.

A spokesperson for the Governor’s Office of Information Technology declined to comment on the attack Thursday due to the ongoing criminal investigation. It’s unclear whether the attack came with a ransom demand.

That would put the state in a situation familiar to several local governments in Colorado that have faced multimillion-dollar extortion attempts in order to restore their systems.

Both Fremont County and the Denver suburb of Wheat Ridge were recently hit by “BlackCat” ransomware attacks, which allow hackers to block access to a computer system or function until their target pays up or rebuilds their framework. Neither

of the two communities targeted paid their ransoms, leaving some government services and internal functions down for a period of time.

“It’s like going back to the 1980s for our staff, where they are working around the clock and so hard to make sure that that impact is minimal,” Wheat Ridge spokesperson Amanda Harrison said. “But that means they have to resort to some really outdated ways of doing that. We don’t have all of our servers turned back on yet because we are ensuring that they are safe and secure.”

Harrison said the attack mainly impacted city employees, not members of the public. Fremont County wasn’t as lucky.

Many of the county’s offices were closed for over a month after it was targeted in mid-August. Despite rejecting the hackers’ demands, both communities had to spend money to rebuild and bring services back online with new security measures.

Ray Yepes, Colorado’s Chief Information Security Officer, said the two attacks on Fremont

County and Wheat Ridge are unrelated and came from two different groups who want money.

Yepes said that’s bad news, because it means future attacks are likely. He stressed that local governments need to be prepared for that possibility.

Because Colorado has historically relied on a decentralized approach to cybersecurity, smaller cities and counties often lack resources to deter hackers and quickly respond to outages. State lawmakers decided in 2021 to adopt a “whole of state” approach to cybersecurity, which allowed Yepes and his team to act as roaming support staff for communities in need.

“Any government entity’s problem is our problem and we’re here to help them. We have more resources than they have,” Yepes said. “When you look at the whole of a state approach it’s an idea, it’s a model. Local, federal, every resource that you can find, you bring them together, you combine your expertise, the resources, your main power to be able to fight cybercrime together.”

Yepes said the threat of cybercrime should be taken seriously. In addition to bringing down vital government services, they can sometimes reveal sensitive information, like social security codes and bank account information.

“We are all driven by technology,” Yepes said. “The water system can be affected by cyberattacks, transit can be affected by cyberattacks. Anything that we do nowadays in our life depends on technology.”

Colorado has learned costly lessons from previous cyberattacks. The state paid $1.7 million in overtime, meals and equipment to restore the Colorado Department of Transportation’s servers in 2018. Earlier this month, Boulder County mistakenly sent $238,000 to a fraudulent account after a cyberattack allowed hackers to pose as vendors the county owed.

Meet the Colorado moms who microdose mushrooms

BY ALISON BERG, BRIAN WILLIE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Tracey Tee felt stuck when COVID-19 hit in 2020.

Tee lost her business and the sudden shift in her children’s schooling meant more responsibilities at home. Plus, the lack of in-person community left her feeling isolated from any support.

Under the crushing weight of raising children in a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic, Tee was willing to try anything to lift at least some of her spirits.

After reading Michael Pollan’s “How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence,” and attending a webinar on microdosing mushrooms, Tee thought she’d give the practice a try.

Tee had never experimented with illicit drugs, but from what she had heard, the experience of taking a small dose of a psilocybin mushroom seemed different from the ‘60’s-style psychedelic trip the substance is best known for.

Once she took the plunge and swallowed her first capsule of a ground-up mushroom, Tee knew she’d found aid to her life’s stress.

“I just really felt a calm and a space between my world that I hadn’t felt before,” Tee said. “In the same way that you take an antidepressant, that’s what microdosing

is.”

During the first several doses, Tee said she felt like she’d taken a hefty dose of caffeine, with slightly more energy and ease going about her day. But over time, Tee said she was able to process trauma and cope with anxiety in ways she’d never been able to before.

“It helps you bring your PTSD, your trauma, your anxiety, any issues that you have to the surface. You kind of look it right in the face,” Tee said. “It’s just easier to show up in life a little bit happier.”

As she continued her microdosing journey, Tee said most of the folks she found with the same interest in microdosing were not mothers. They were primarily younger folks or CEOs of popular companies.

For Tee, the product was simply about making mundane life slightly easier, especially for her fellow

mothers. After connecting with other women interested in the idea, Tee started Moms on Mushrooms, a Colorado-based, nationwide group that teaches interested moms about using a small dose of psilocybin mushrooms.

Shayna Bryan, a Denver woman and a member of Moms on Mushrooms, began microdosing in April, after an initial class from Tee’s group. Bryan said the other moms in the group seemed to mirror her struggles as a parent, which is what ultimately made her feel safe enough to try microdosing.

“Everyone has to kind of deal with the same challenges when it comes to motherhood and all of us were kind of looking for something,” Bryan said. “It was really wonderful to watch the other women in the course see the medicine start to work.”

Bryan and Tee both emphasized that the micro-mushroom experience is not a “trip,” but a very subtle mood booster.

“That energy that I wished I’d had for the last 15 years has come forth, and it’s a vibrancy that I feel so lucky to have found,” Bryan said. “You don’t feel like you’re in college and you just took a bunch of mushrooms and you’re tripping with your friends.”

Courtney, a mother in Colorado who asked not to have her full name used, said microdosing on its own is a hardly noticeable difference in her day, and the real benefits come from meditation, journaling and other healing work alongside the mushrooms.

NEVER

“What I like to say is it kind of makes you 10% of something: 10% happier, 10% more patient, 10% more creative, 10% more open,” Courtney said. “For me, microdosing allows me to address some mental health challenges.”

While anecdotal experiences have yielded positive results, research on psychedelic usage is limited because such the drugs are illegal at a federal level. Denver voters decriminalized mushrooms in 2019 within the city limits, but purchasing the substance remains illegal. Possessing mushrooms is still prohibited in parts of Colorado outside of Denver.

In efforts to invite research and make psilocybin more accessible to the general population, Coloradans will vote on the Natural Medicine Health Act, which would create regulated access to mushrooms.

While users and advocates of the medicine say they are proponents of its decriminalization, many will vote “no,” on the bill as it is written, as they believe its sponsors have not kept racial equity in mind.

“This could be cannabis 5.0, with the same people in charge and the lack of equity, so I am very cautious when it comes to how we do this,” said Melanie Rose Rodgers, a Denver resident and psychedelic advocate who helped with Denver’s decriminalization efforts. “I’m not opposed to legalization. I’m opposed to this legalization that’s being rushed.”

Rose Rodgers, a woman of color, said people of color have been using mushrooms and cannabis for thousands of years and have been criminalized for it, while white business owners have profited from legalization.

“My perspective in this comes from social justice. It comes from watching what happens when you legalize in Colorado,” Rose Rodgers said. “I am cautious about what do we do with psychedelics.”

Lakewood City Council hosts first of two public hearings on 2023 budget

BY ANDREW FRAIELI AFRAIELI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lakewood City Council hosted its fi rst of two public hearings on the 2023 budget for the city Oct. 3. Holly Bjorklund, the Lakewood chief fi nancial offi cer, elaborated on funding and expenses changes from this year and looking towards 2023.

The 2022 revenue budget and revised budget saw a difference of about $28 million due to infl ation, according to Bjorkland. The bulk of the increase was within sales and use taxes. Expenses adjustments totaled an increased $11 million, with about half being retiming of capital projects, said Bjorkland, and another being gasoline price increases adding $3.3 million.

Lakewood has fi ve different funds: the general fund, the capital project funds, enterprise fund, special revenue fund and internal service fund, with the general fund being the largest. Bjorkland elaborated that the majority of the 2023 general fund revenue consists of sale and use tax at 71%, with the rest being property tax, charges for service, franchise fees and intergovernmental revenue.

The expenses for 2023 broke down to public works taking 27%, police 24%, community resources at 19%, and other departments at 15%.

Bjorkland also highlighted some

short-term “budget realities,” such as sales tax revenues now exceeding 2019 levels, that there’s currently record high infl ation and that the budget accounts for the possibility of recession in 2023. She also pointed out that, even with ARPA funds being invested in city infrastructure, and revenue returning to 2019 levels, there are still long-term challenges.

“As the city has become an established city, and the infrastructure is aging — there needs to be a

maintenance and replacement,” she said.

The challenge, she explained, mainly consists of a community needs gap that will be caused by the TABOR limit being reached in 2026. The TABOR, or Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, limits the city’s budget, and was voted to be lifted until 2025.

“One of the concerns the board has now is that some of our spending heavily relies on dollars that the city is only able to retain

temporarily due to Colorado’s TABOR amendment,” said Council Member Wendi Strom. She gave examples of TABOR funds fi xing park issues and giving police body cameras.

The funds will expire in 2025, Strom continued, “leaving us in a place where we need to closely examine how we are going to meet the fi nancial needs of our community in the years to come.”

The second and fi nal public hearing on the 2023 budget will be held on Oct. 17.

Lakewood City Council discussed the 2023 city budget in the first of two public hearings on the matter.

Columbine softball clinches 5A Je co title

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LITTLETON — Columbine staked claim to back-to-back Class 5A Jeffco League softball titles in enemy territory Oct. 6.

The Rebels — No. 1 in last week’s CHSAANow.com 5A rankings — defeated rival No. 5 Chatfield 6-1 on the Chargers’ home field. Columbine (22-1, 7-0 in 5A Jeffco) is on a 13-game conference winning streak dating back to the Fall 2021 season.

“It means a lot to win it here,” Columbine junior Eva Martinez said of the Rebels clinching the conference title at Chatfield. “It’s not our ground, but we can do anything if we come with our energy like we should.”

The energy was there despite Columbine having its 20-game winning streak come to an end two days earlier with a 2-0 road loss against No. 2 Douglas County.

“This was a big game for us after just losing to Douglas County,” Columbine senior pitcher Araya Ogden said of the Rebels suffering their first loss of the season earlier in the week. “We had to pick up our energy today. I really feel like we needed that loss. We know that we aren’t unbeatable.”

Ogden was brilliant on the mound giving up just one run on a RBI single by Chatfield sophomore Ally Dodge in the bottom of the third inning. She scattered four hits in picking up her 17th win of the season.

“She (Ogden) is just so battle tested,” Columbine coach Jim San-

taniello said of his ace pitcher. “You always know with her you are going to get her heart and soul. She is going to compete to the last pitch.”

Ogden led the offense going 4-for-4 with four singles, but it was Columbine freshman Nina Vargas who delivered the early blow. Vargas crushed a solo home run well over the left field fence in the top of the second inning to give Columbine a 1-0 lead.

“That totally changed the momentum. It was exactly what we needed,” Martinez said of the home run by Vargas. “I think it was so

important that Nina stepped up. She is an amazing player.”

Chatfield had a good number of football players taking in the game before heading off to the Chargers’ varsity football game up at the North Area Athletic Complex later that night. The Vargas home run definitely quieted the large Charger crowd.

“She (Vargas) has a great swing and she swings for the fences,” Ogden said. “Her home run gave us the energy we needed.”

Columbine cranked out 11 hits with six different players reaching

base on base knocks. The Rebels scored runs in five of seven innings.

“It’s easier to have one big inning, but I think it’s harder to score a run in almost every inning,” Vargas said. “Once you get one run every inning it really piles up. That is what we did today.”

Martinez extended the lead to 3-0 in the third inning with a 2-run double. Senior Mari Shearn had an RBI single in the fourth inning to answer the run scored by the Chargers in the third. Junior Kenzie Sobieski scored on a Chatfield throwing error in the fifth inning.

Columbine freshman Mason Abraham drove in the final run on a ground that scored fellow freshman Livi Keiter for the final run of the game in the seven inning.

“I feel a heck of a lot better,” Santaniello said after his team was presented with the league championship plaque.

Chatfield 16-7, 4-3) ended a 2-game losing streak when it defeated Lakewood 10-4 in its final conference game.

“You never want to lose two in a row, but after Saturday it’s a new season,” Chatfield coach Jen Lazzeri said after back-to-back losses to Ralston Valley and Columbine last week. “The beautiful thing about softball is the two tournaments (regionals and state). Anybody can get hot. I feel like we are in a good spot.”

Ralston Valley gets late score to defeat No. 2 Columbine

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — A late game-winning touchdown drive catapulted Ralston Valley into the driver’s seat of the Class 5A Jeffco League on Oct. 7.

The Mustangs — No. 5 in the CHSAANow.com 5A rankings last week — used a 70-yard, 12-play drive in the final five minutes to defeat No. 2 Columbine 16-13 at Jeffco Stadium.

“That final drive the guys just came together,” Ralston Valley coach Jared Yannacito said after the win gave the Mustangs (5-2, 2-0 in 5A Jeffco) the inside favorite to the conference title. “We executed the plays. It was awesome. The kids put together an amazing drive to close out that game.”

The drive was similar to what the Rebels (6-1, 1-1) normally does to teams late in games. The Mustangs had nine rushes with senior Diano Benallo carrying the load with seven carries for 35 yards. Junior quarterback Logan Madden also had two carries for 14 yards on the drive.

“We have been a pretty clutch team in the past,” said Madden, who had a 52-yard touchdown pass

to junior Jackson Hansen on the Mustangs’ other touchdown that came late in the first half giving Ralston Valley a 7-6 halftime lead.

“We had all the confidence in the world in our big guys up front and Diano did an amazing job getting us down the field. We kind of did what Columbine does and ran it down their throats.”

Madden connected with Hansen for a big 14-yard reception that put Ralston Valley in Columbine territory. The dive started from the Mustangs’ 30-yard line with 4:39 left in the game and the Rebels leading 13-9.

“There wasn’t any panic,” Yannacito said of Ralston Valley going down 4 points with less than five

minutes to play. “We knew the plays were there. We just had to execute. Until the clock reads 0:00 you have a chance.”

Benallo finished off the drive with a 5-yard touchdown with 53 seconds left on the clock.

“Our offensive linemen down blocked and I make a cutback off of them,” Benallo said of his gamewinning scoring run. “They made a huge hole for me to get into the end zone.”

Columbine had under a minute to try to get into field goal range, but senior quarterback Brayden Harvey was intercepted by Ralston Valley senior Jason Thome to seal the win for the Mustangs.

Ralston Valley’s defense forced two turnover on downs in the first half to keep the Rebels from scoring. The Mustangs also got a key special team score when senior Josh Rillos blocked a punt and the ball went out of the back of the end zone for a safety for the only score in the third quarter.

Columbine’s two touchdowns came on runs by junior Josh Snyder and senior Marquane Taylor.

Green Mountain edges Evergreen in wild 2OT league opener

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — The top-10 Class 3A football match-up had plenty of drama Oct. 6 at Trailblazer Stadium.

Green Mountain — No. 3 in the CHSAANow.com 3A rankings — needed to rally from a doubledigit halftime deficit against No. 8 Evergreen. The game ended with Green Mountain junior George Soppe tackling Evergreen quarterback Tommy Poholsky just short of the end zone on a 2-point conversion attempt.

“The defense stepped up there in the end,” Green Mountain coach Jesse German said as the Rams (6-0, 1-0 in 3A Jeffco) stay undefeated. “It was a pretty wild one.”

The defensive stop on the final play gave the Rams a dramatic 24-23 victory in double-overtime.

“Coaches gave us a great game plan on that play,” Soppe said of the final play of the game. “We knew what they were going to do and we were ready for it.”

After both Evergreen (4-2, 0-1) and Green Mountain failed to score in the first overtime period the Rams took their first lead since the first quarter with a 5-yard touchdown run by Soppe. Sophomore Melanie Archuleta kicked the PAT to give Green Mountain a 24-17 lead in the second overtime period.

The Rams had a chance to win it in the first overtime with a 4th-down play from the 1-foot line, but senior quarterback Zach Wallace was stood up by Evergreen’s defense at the goal-line.

“We have core values and the last one is finish,” Soppe said. “We came back down, had another opportunity and took it.”

Poholsky — who had touchdown passes to seniors Gabe Zimmerer and Mikey Crane in the second quarter to open up a 17-6 halftime lead over the Cougars — answered Soppe’s touchdown run in 2OT with a 2-yard touchdown run.

Evergreen coach Matt Van Praag decided to go for the win and the 2-point conversion instead of kicking the PAT. The failed 2-point

get the football,” Yannacito said. “Our defense played incredible and gave us a ton of stops that allowed us to get the ball back.”

Taylor’s touchdown capped off a 47-yard, 10-play drive that chewed up nearly six minutes of the fourth quarter before Ralston Valley answered with the drive of the night.

“After playing Regis and getting the win after being down a few scores with so little time left we knew we had this in us,” Benallo said. “We trusted each other and dug deep. I’m proud of everyone.”

Ralston Valley has played the best-of-the-best in 5A so far this year. The Mustangs’ schedule has included Cherry Creek, Grandview, Regis, Valor and Columbine. All those team are currently ranked in the top-6.

conversion ended a 3-game winning streak for the Cougars where they had outscored their opponents 137-8.

Green Mountain’s second-half comeback started with a bad snap on an Evergreen punt that gave the Rams the ball on the Cougars’ 1-yard line. Senior Anthony DiGrazia scored on a 1-yard touchdown run and then DiGrazia ran in the 2-point conversion to cut Evergreen’s lead to 17-14 late in the third quarter.

“Being down like that at halftime is good. We need to see adversity,” German said. “It’s great preparation for later in the season.”

Evergreen had a good drive going on its next possession, but eventually turned the ball over on downs on the Rams’ 27-yard line. Green Mountain marched down the field, but its drive stalled. German turned to Archuleta to kick a 27-yard field goal with 3:37 left in the fourth quarter to tie things up at 17-17.

“Hat off to Ducky,” German said

“I think it’s fair to say it’s the toughest schedule in the state of Colorado,” Yannacito said. “Our kids bought in from this summer that you fight every play.”

Both Columbine and Ralston Valley will be playing up at the North Area Athletic Complex next week.

The Rebels face Arvada West (3-4, 1-1) on Thursday night.

The Mustangs face Pomona (1-6, 0-2) on Friday, Oct. 14, at the NAAC.

The young Panthers will be hungry for a victory after dropping their last six games.

“We are going to take everyone serious. We know we are going to be a top target in the state from here on out,” Madden said. “We just have to keep giving it a good week of practice to come out on Friday nights to be successful.”

of his sophomore kicker. “For making that kick that got us there (into overtime).”

Archuleta was called into varsity action because senior kicker Kuba Betlinski had to sit out the game after being red-carded in a varsity boys soccer game two days earlier.

Betlinski had to serve the 1-game suspension for the football game because the Rams don’t play another boys soccer game until Friday.

“It was a little bit of a surprise,” Archuleta said of having the field goal kicking duties in the Class 3A Jeffco League opener. “I had to really mentally prepare since I hadn’t kicked varsity since Week 1 in Florida.”

Her 27-yard field goal cleared the cross bar easily and she was mobbed by teammates.

“I knew I had to block everything out,” Archuleta said of her gametying kick in the fourth quarter. “Austin Beeson (junior teammate) always comes up to me and asks, ‘Are you dialed in?’ I just thought of that.”

Archuleta nearly ended the game in regulation, but her 35-yard field goal on the final play of regulation was just short and wide right. But as it turned out her PAT in the second overtime was the game-winning point.

“I feel proud of myself, but always proud of my brothers,” Archuleta said. “We did really good tonight.”

Green Mountain is back at Trailblazer Stadium next Friday night against Conifer. Evergreen will host Littleton on the Cougars’ home field on Saturday, Oct. 15.

Lakewood gymnastics celebrating individual and team success

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — Lakewood senior Izzy Gee made sure she hugged every teammate after each of their floor routines during the triangular Sept. 28 at Lakewood High School.

“Izzy is just the heart and soul of Lakewood gymnastics,” Lakewood coach Christine Kamin said of the defending Class 5A all-around state champion. “She just loves her team. She celebrates their successes a million times more than her successes. She is a very humble champion, but the first to jump on a mat if someone else sticks their routine to give them a big hug.”

All eyes were on Gee as she was the last Tiger to preform on the floor to finish off the meet. All Evergreen and Green Mountain gymnasts grabbed a front row seat to watch Gee score 9.45.

While Gee is coming off winning the 5A all-around and bars individual title last year, this Fall hasn’t been easy as she attempts to defend her titles.

“The season has been a bit harder for me,” Gee admitted before the triangular meet Sept. 28. “I’ve had to deal with some injuries. I do have lots of pressure on me.”

Gee has an extremely busy schedule. Along with high school gymnastics she is doing club gymnastics along with competitive cheer this Fall season. Still, Gee has high hopes individually and team wise after Lakewood took home the 5A team state runner-up trophy last

Lakewood senior Izzy Gee is the Class 5A defending all-around individual state champion.

November.

“For me I’m trying to do as well as I did last year,” Gee said. “Since it’s my senior year I’m trying to work a little harder for myself. The team goal is really important for us. We really want to take first in the state this year. I think it’s a reasonable goal.”

Junior Lauren Burt made a huge impact last season in her first year competing at the high school level. Burt finished fourth in the all-around and won the beam title. Lakewood scored 183.675 team
