Marquez to enter plea March 31 in fatal hitand-run case

Judge denies defense’s request to set a bond for Marquez

e case against Ruben Marquez, the alleged driver in the fatal hitand-run outside a Golden bar, is moving forward after a three-day preliminary hearing.

“When we rst were thinking of the name, we were sitting around, then someone said, ‘oh ddlesticks,” said owner Diane Manning. And that’s how Fiddlesticks Bar and Grill in Lakewood got its name.

Fiddlesticks Bar and Grill has been family owned by Diane Manning and Tom Leonard for 33 years.

eir son Mike Manning was run-

ning around as a toddler collecting change from under the tables when they got their start. Now, he’s helping run the place.

What started as a little bar on the corner of Kipling and Jewell turned into an establishment with a scratch kitchen and craft cocktail menu.

“We sell more food than we do alcohol,” Manning said. “Everything we make is from scratch.”

e menu boasts normal bar fare like burgers, wraps and wings, and

also more inventive dishes, like its St. Patrick’s Day menu which featured festive cuisine including Shepards Pie, beer cheese with soft pretzels and more.

While they sell a lot of beer, Manning said the craft cocktails do quite well, with syrups, teas, juices and other elements prepped in-house.

What it comes down to, according to Manning, are “those extra steps”

A judge ruled March 14 that there’s enough evidence against Marquez to bind over all 17 charges against him for trial. e judge also ruled Marquez will continue to be held without bond. He’s scheduled to enter a plea at 8:30 a.m. March 31 at the Je erson County Courthouse. Marquez, 29, is facing rst-degree murder, vehicular homicide and multiple assault charges for allegedly driving a truck into a crowd of people outside e Rock Rest Lodge on Oct. 9.

Adrian Ponce, 26, was killed in the incident, and at least four others were injured, including Rock Rest employees.

Marquez’s preliminary hearing — which ran Feb. 3, March 2 and March 14 — was formatted like a small-scale trial with both the

prosecution and defense presenting witnesses in their favor. A preliminary hearing determines whether there’s su cient evidence for the case to proceed through the judicial system.

As Judge Lindsay VanGilder summarized in her rulings, the entire case hinges on who was behind the wheel at the time the truck drove into the crowd.

Marquez’s defense attorneys asserted that co-defendant Ernesto Avila, who owns the truck, was the driver that night and that he confessed to doing so in a recorded interview with law enforcement.

However, the prosecution argued that, based on witness statements, Marquez was behind the wheel during the incident, and that Marquez and Avila exited and switched seats shortly after. Prosecutors also argued that Avila’s supposed confession shouldn’t be taken at face value, as he’s clearly intoxicated in the footage, and VanGilder agreed that Avila was talking in circles.

Avila, 25, was driving when a Je co Sheri ’s deputy stopped the truck a few blocks away from the Rock Rest. He’s been charged with one count of felony accessory, has pleaded not guilty, and is scheduled for trial in late August.

VanGilder ruled March 6 that Avila will have a separate trial from Marquez, if the latter’s case goes to trial. She recognized how separate trials would have duplicative evidence and create “di culties for the victims and the survivors of the deceased victim.” However, as she stated at Avila’s March 6 arraignment, she feared having a joint trial would create an appellate record and “require retrials for both defendants.”

The prosecution’s case

In the general facts of the case, as VanGilder summarized, is that three cousins — Marquez, Avila and Jose Loera — went to e Rock Rest Lodge on Oct. 8.

At bar close on Oct. 9, Marquez’s group got into a verbal argument with Ponce’s group outside. e verbal confrontation escalated to a physical one, with one witness reporting that Ponce punched Marquez.

Avila’s truck was parked out-

side the Rock Rest, on roughly the southeast side of the building. Avila reportedly got into the truck, but it wouldn’t start. He left the keys inside, based on what he told investigators, and exited the vehicle.

As bar employees were outside trying to break up the ght, Avila and Marquez got back in the truck. However, the prosecution posited that Marquez was behind the wheel this time and intentionally drove into the crowd.

When describing the driver, witnesses gave a mix of descriptors, including bald, short, heavier-set Hispanic male wearing a white T-shirt with neck and face tattoos. ese match Marquez’s appearance on Oct. 9.

e bar manager, who was within a few feet of the truck when it hit the crowd, later picked Marquez out of a photo lineup. He told investigators he was 100% certain Marquez drove the truck into the crowd.

Avila, who was described on the night as a taller, skinnier Hispanic male with short hair wearing a dark T-shirt, is believed to be a passenger at the time. Some witnesses described the passenger and the driver either voluntarily exiting the vehicle or being pulled out, and switching seats shortly after the incident.

Around that time, the truck drove away from the bar toward South Golden Road, as seen on surveillance footage from a nearby business.

e truck didn’t travel far and ultimately returned to the Rock Rest, likely to pick up Loera. At least one witness said Loera was in the truck when it hit the crowd but was pulled out afterward and ran away, while Loera told investigators he wasn’t in the truck, was running away and came back when he heard a commotion.

Witness photos con rm Loera was outside the truck at some point after it hit the crowd.

As the truck was sitting in front of the Rock Rest on South Vernon Road, a Je co Sheri ’s deputy stationed his patrol car right behind it.

e deputy didn’t see anyone enter or exit the vehicle, and it drove a few blocks before it nally stopped along 10th Avenue.

e deputy and other law enforcement questioned the three men, with a state trooper interviewing Avila on video. e trooper asked Avila who was driving the truck when it hit the people, and Avila responded, “I was.”

However, as VanGilder pointed out in her ruling, Avila twice said, “I

told my cousin to go, go, go.” He also said, “At rst, my cousin was driv-

VanGilder also noted how, in a later interview at the sheri ’s o ce, Avila claimed he took over as the driver when the truck was stopped in Mount Vernon Road. Initially, he was positive he wasn’t driving the truck when it hit the crowd; but when pressed, he said he wasn’t sure because he blacked out.

The defense’s case

roughout the three-day hearing, Marquez’s defense attorneys stressed the number of con icting eyewitness accounts. Some witnesses’ statements contradict each other, and some witnesses gave di ering details at the scene than they did in later interviews.

Some didn’t see the driver at the time of the crash, and others gave a description that better described Avila than Marquez, the defense attorneys argued. ey also pointed out how some witnesses never described Avila and Marquez switching seats after the truck hit the crowd.

e prosecution argued to give more credibility to the witnesses who were sober, mostly employees. And while the bar manager identied Marquez as the driver, another employee described the driver as a skinnier man, the defense pointed out.

Of the seven witnesses who described Marquez as the driver, the defense claimed ve of the accounts were misleading.

One was Ponce’s friend who, the defense argued, claimed either Avila or Marquez could’ve been the driver. e attorneys also believed that JCSO’s reports summarizing witness statements that Marquez was the driver contradicted the recorded interviews at the scene.

ey also called into question a witness who didn’t give any description of the driver at the scene, but later “magically remembers everything … in an unrecorded, undocumented phone call” with investigators, they described.

Ultimately, the defense argued, there were as many statements Avila was the driver as there are statements Marquez was.

“Mr. Marquez is a rougher-looking individual,” one of the attorneys said. “ ere are certain things that stick out about him in a stressful situation — that are going to stick in the mind of the viewer.”

A judge ruled March 14 that there’s enough evidence against Marquez to bind over all 17 charges against him for trial. SHUTTERSTOCK

Geothermal

Heating Can Be Made Practical & Affordable on a Community Level

When it comes to “kicking natural gas” and reducing a home’s carbon footprint, geothermal heating & cooling is the “gold standard.” But it’s extremely expensive to implement as a retrofit and still quite expensive on new construction.

My friend, Martin Voelker, a leader with the Colorado Renewable Energy Society, recently replaced his gas forced air heating system with geothermal, and the cost for drilling the 300-footdeep wells in his backyard was $18,000, which included running the pipes into his house but didn’t include the heat pump itself. Even though such a project would garner a 30% rebate under the Inflation Reduction Act, that’s still a heavy lift for an individual homeowner.

I know of another home which installed geothermal pipes horizontally in their large backyard at far less cost.

New construction is more affordable, because you can have the wells drilled within the footprint of the future home before the foundation is laid. And if it’s an entire subdivision, such as the Geos Community in Arvada, the cost is reduced because all the wells can be drilled one after the other.

In that scenario, each home still has its own geothermal well, but what if you could drill a geothermal well that was extensive enough to feed multiple heat pumps in multiple buildings?

That was the concept proposed by a group of Harvard students in Ivory Inno-

Did You Know? Potting Soil Can Be Flammable

Earlier this month, a Jefferson County home almost burned down. Thanks to a quick response by the local fire department, damage was contained and is estimated at $30-50,000.

Here’s what happened, as documented by surveillance cameras: A person tried to put out a cigarette by sticking it in the soil of an indoor potted plant. Unfortunately, the plant was in potting soil that contained nitrogen, and within a few hours the soil started smoking and quite suddenly burst into flames.

When told of this, David Dlugasch, one of our broker associates said that the exact same scenario caused his house he had sold in Gunnison to be burned to the

ground the day after he sold it. This problem was a surprise to me, so I wanted to share it with readers. Below is a picture I took of the ingredients in a commonly available potting soil. Nowhere on the package does it mention that it is flammable and could cause a house fire.

vation’s annual Hack-A-House competition, for which they won first place in the “Environmental Solutions and Construction Technology” category.

The Harvard students, under the name “Team Beckwith,” did a case study of a 49-house community in South Boston. The concept involved installing buried geothermal pipes in the homes’ combined backyard space.

Here are some excerpts from the arti-

How Does Geothermal Work?

Geothermal heating does not require there to be a thermal feature such as a hot spring. In fact, if you dig down about 10 feet anywhere at our latitude, you’ll find that the soil temperature is about 55ºF year-round. By circulating a fluid through a pipe either vertically to 300’ or horizontally if you have enough space, you can pre-heat that liquid to 55º and have a heat pump raise that temperature to 100º or so for heating purposes either by radiant floor heating, baseboards or forced air. This is more efficient than an air-source heat pump system which takes in outdoor air as cold at –10º and works much harder to achieve the desired temperature. In the summer the 55º geothermal fluid requires even less energy to be cooled further for cooling your home.

cle I read on www.Probuilder.com, which I have linked to this column on our blog, www.GoldenREblog.com:

“The novelty of geothermal energy is there,” Team Beckwith says. “The reason it’s not invested in is the capital, and the scale”….The team intends to do further research and revise their 24hour-made plan, and are already looking for connections to make their proposal a reality.

A vendor for both geothermal and air source heat pump systems that I recommend is Sensible Heating & Cooling, 720-876-7166, which I have mentioned in previous columns.

Comcast Remote Can Be Reset to Have a 30-Second Skip Button

Last week I complained that Comcast’s remote, unlike Dish Network’s & DirecTV’s, does not have a button for skipping forward 30 seconds on recorded programs. A reader sent instructions for reprogramming the 5-minute FF button to 30 seconds. Briefly, to enable 30second skip, do the following: While watching a channel, press the Exit button thrice. Press 0030 on the keypad. The page down button will skip back 15 seconds. I have posted the full instructions at www.GoldenREblog.com

West Je Elementary’s Night of the Arts combines student, professional art

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Students got to see their art on display with professional art at West Je erson Elementary School’s Night of the Arts.

Families roamed around the school March 10 as they looked at the work of professional artists and students in every grade thanks to a $10,000 Science and Cultural Facilities District Collaborative Grant the school received. Classes at each grade also performed a musical number to round out the evening.

e grant has paid for students to take eld trips to a variety of places to get inspiration about art such as the Denver Zoo and the Butter y Pavilion. It also paid for the Cherry Arts Mobile Art Gallery to install a professional art show throughout the school, which will be on display until March 27.

“ is is an awesome event,” said principal Wendy Woodland as she prepared to watch the rst graders perform a song. “It’s really meant to merge professional and student art.”

She said Night of the Arts was a staple at West Je Elementary several years ago, but sta changes and the pandemic put the event on a hiatus until this year.

Fifth grader Haley Boocher drew a

picture of a planet that hung in a display case in the main hallway. She was excited to play the xylophone in the musical performance portion of the evening.

Parents Linda and Randy Boocher were proud that their daughter’s artwork was displayed at the school.

Fourth grader Max Best drew a cartoon interpretation of a fox, his favorite animal.

“I really like nature,” Max explained. “I like it being green, and

then you see something orange.”

His mom, Lisa Best, said she liked that the professional art show allowed students to be exposed to a variety of artwork.

Fourth grader Elise Bohn looked at the student artwork in the hallway with her mom, Melissa Bohn. Elise said the event was fun because she could see her friends and other people’s artwork.

Melissa Bohn added that she enjoyed seeing the di erent mediums and styles, calling them inspiring and great for kids.

Music teacher Samantha Shall said that while the focus of Night of the Arts was artwork, the music added another dimension. e kindergartners and rst graders sang songs, third and fth graders played barred instruments such as xylophones, and fourth graders played recorders.

Shall said the event was a chance for students to showcase the instruments they learn to play in music class.

Fifth grader Marin Loveday said she plays percussion in the school band, especially the xylophone, while dad Brendon Loveday said he loved watching the students perform.

Art teacher Kelly Munro said the grant helped the school bring arts programs to the school that it normally wouldn’t have.

“It’s been great,” she said. “To see the joy on their faces makes it worth it.”

In Sierra Leone, local journalism is a lifeboat for women in rural communities

West African nation’s top female newsroom, Media Matters for Women

Sierra Leone, celebrates 10th anniversary; partners with DU research team

BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the rural communities of Sierra Leone, women who are experiencing sexual abuse, gender-based violence and restricted bodily autonomy often have just one hope when seeking justice; the intrepid journalists at Media Matters for Women Sierra Leone.

Now in its 10th year of operation, MMW has grown from a small local podcasting network to a nationwide community news service that serves over 60,000 listeners.

In a traditionally patriarchal society where women are often not taught to read or write, MMW’s journalists create targeted podcasts translated into over 30 local dialects to reach and inform listeners — often in the country’s most remote corners.

Recently, MMW’s Executive

Director Florence Sesay and Senior Journalist Alinah Kallon traveled to New York and Colorado to attend the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women and convene with a data journalism team of grad students at the University of Denver, respectively.

Sesay said the U.N. convening was particularly poignant because she and Kallon were able to feel solidarity with women around the world working through similar challenges and learn tools to implement in her

work when she returns.

“We are learning from other countries in terms of response to sexual and gender-based violence,” Sesay said. “Listening to stories, it’s like sometimes when you work on women’s issues, we need that solidarity. Sometimes just listening to all the stories from women from across the globe gives you that energy. You keep going like you’re not alone in this ght.

“I want to see how I can learn and share best practices when I go back,”

Sesay continued.

e MMW team has carved out a dedicated listener base by continually challenging norms.

In Sierra Leone — as well as most other states in the world — newsrooms have been historically controlled by men, and men typically hold positions of power. In rural communities, this often leads to a pervasive culture of violence against women, and a lack of accountability for those who commit crimes within the justice system.

“I think journalists, the media, we have very powerful women now — before, the newsroom was controlled by men,” Sesay said. “ e space was controlled by men. For Media Matters for Women, we are in charge, and we are taking the lead in telling the stories of women — especially those who are in the last mile.” To bridge that information gap — especially for women in remote, “last mile” communities — MMW’s journalists must gain the trust of — mostly male — community leaders. at work, Kallon says, has taken years of building trust to develop.

“Sierra Leone is a country where we have a high number of illiteracies; many women do not have the ability to read and write,” Kallon said. “ e gap of gender inequality is huge. We ensure that we work with

While MMW is women-run and primarily creates content for women, the NGO is not a liated with any political party or ideology. eir mission is simply to inform women of their rights.

In Sierra Leone, when new laws are passed — such as the country’s recent Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Act — word does not always travel to last-mile communities, which may or may not enforce new ordinances and statutes. is contributes to a continuance of old patriarchal roles in remote communities, despite e orts by the legislature to promote equality. is, Sesay says, is the importance of MMW gaining the trust of local leaders.

“Traditional and religious leaders are well-respected gures in our communities, and they demand respect within these communities,” Sesay said. “So, it is easy for us to use them as a vehicle of change. eir buy-in makes a whole lot of di erence. We win and they win as well.”

Kallon said that while many leaders were skeptical at rst, they’ve begun to see the bene ts of MMW programming — and female em-

powerment — within their own communities.

“Obviously, you have some resistance, because we are preaching equality, we are preaching women empowerment — men don’t want to hear messages like that,” Kallon said. “We back our podcast with what the law says, and if you have the backing of the law, they understand that it’s something they have to join hands and work with.

“In the beginning, they’d say ‘Oh, you want to give voices to our women, you want to challenge us, you don’t want our women to be submissive,’ because that is how it operates in rural communities; women are submissive, they answer to everything even though they are su ering inside,” Kallon continued.

“Over the years (leaders) begin to understand, ‘ is is not about us, it’s about the women, and when women are happy — have happy homes, happy families, their children are well taken care of,’ they begin to see that it’s for the good of everybody. And so, they join forces.”

In one instance, a powerful man in Bombali, Sierra Leone, raped a 9-year-old girl and — because of his status in the community — the legal system did not seriously prosecute the case, Kallon said.

“We’ve had so many issues where women are victimized, or sexually harassed, or young girls are being penetrated by in uential men in society, then the (legal system) would want to play games with them; the police would lose the les,” Kallon said. at’s where MMW’s activist bent comes in. e newsroom worked

to alert advocates and residents to the situation, and within months, a public uproar had been kindled.

“What they did at the initial stage was bribe the family, but the girl’s mother was very determined to get justice for her daughter,” Kallon said. “So, what they did was the bank where he worked, instead of sacking him, they transferred him to another region. And then the civil society, all of us, we took up that matter — it was a whole journey, over a year after that.”

Finally, Kallon said, the man was

brought to justice, thanks in large part to the media coverage and outrage from community members.

“ e police said they lost the le, the justice system cannot charge any case, so we had to go back and forth, and because civil society were not quiet about it, the media were making a lot of noise about it, so they had to bring the man back and he had to face justice and now he’s in prison for a lifetime,” Kallon said. e road has not been easy.

Evergreen man performs world-record feat

Monty Estis will be in Guinness list for gymnastics skill

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

If you’re going to set a Guinness World Record, you might as well accomplish the feat not once, but twice.

at’s exactly what Monty Estis of Evergreen did on March 14 when he set the record for the oldest man — he’s 65 — performing a planche on the gymnastic rings. A planche is a skill that is one level more di cult than the iron cross during which the gymnast holds his body horizontally with straight arms.

Estis is an avid athlete, participating in a variety of sports from pickleball, tennis and volleyball to skiing, kayaking and paddleboarding. On top of that, he’s a gymnast and was on the team both in high school and college. So when he moved to Evergreen in 2012, he wanted to get back on the rings, his chosen apparatus, to improve his skills.

He was happy Wulf Recreation Center allows adults to use the apparatus, and he has been training since then. But what is training without a goal?

Estis, who also serves on the Evergreen Park & Recreation District’s board of directors, contacted

Guinness World Records to see if it would consider adding the category for the record for the oldest man performing a planche, and Guinness said yes.

ments, Estis had to nd an Fédération Internationale de Gymnastiqueregulation gymnastics studio with certi ed judges to chronicle his feat. He found Golden Gymnastics in Lakewood and owner Steve Artemis, who is certi ed.

honored William & Mary coach Cli

Estis performed the planche for three seconds, a second longer than necessary. After he was through, there was some concern that the video camera used to chronicle the feat didn’t work, so, naturally, Estis did the planche again.

Fasold said reaching the goal was good for Estis, and she hoped he didn’t get injured performing the skill.

Artemis said this was the rst time a Guinness World Record was set at Golden Gymnastics. As a judge, he said he was looking to make sure Estis had control while performing the skill. And he did.

Kallon and Sesay, along with their team, began reaching out to “ambassadors” in rural communities who they could electronically send podcasts to and then have the ambassadors distribute the podcast to folks quarantining in their homes.

at model proved to be e ective for MMW, which was able to reach a larger listener base at a time when many Sierra Leonians would have otherwise gone without pressing public health information.

Many remote communities still rely on town criers to disseminate information, so MMW has partnered with them as well to distribute their podcasts. Kallon said these e orts — plus the occasional boat visit by an MMW journalist to remote villages — have given their newsroom the ability to reach truly o -the-grid locales.

“ at was how we began getting into the interior regions because initially, we were just at the city centers,” Kallon said. “Over the years we progressed into getting more listenership because we’re not just stationed in one area… We have created that impact over the years; we go to last mile communities — sometimes you have to use a boat to

cross over — but these are places we must go.”

With a general election coming up in June and tensions between rival

political parties mounting, MMW has made it their mission to inform the public — particularly women — about issues, candidates and their voting rights, all in a nonviolent, nonpartisan fashion.

“We were very strategic in sending out nonviolent messages,” Kallon said. “We are for all of Sierra Leone, not a particular politician or party. We also encourage and support women during elections; we let people know it’s their right and responsibility to vote. But as journalists, we don’t want to be partisan. We don’t promote a political party.”

MMW is also faced with confronting one of the most persistent spreaders of misinformation — social media.

“Tension is really high among the two rival parties,” Kallon said. “ ere is a lot of fake news going on,

so we have to nd a way of going around that and sending the correct message because people use social media — especially WhatsApp — to send all kinds of messages.

“We listen to what’s happening on social media, especially on WhatsApp, and then we send the correct information out in our podcast,” Kallon continued. “If we are not on the apps, our listeners will be misled, so we have to take the lead in ensuring that people get the correct information that will prevent violence during the election because tensions are aring around things like that, so we have to be on top of the situation, otherwise, it will be disastrous.”

Despite the issues they face in providing news to last-mile communities, Sesay and Kallon said that the inspiration they have provided to women across Sierra Leone makes their e ort worth it.

“ e young girls, they see us, and they want to become journalists now,” Kallon said. “We’ve become kind of an inspiration for these young girls who want to be journalists, advocates, all of it. It’s really triggering that kind of interest in them.”

“MMW has created a platform where women are building condence, we can speak hope, we can share our stories to each other,” Sesay said. “We’ve really inspired and created that space for women to speak up. And de nitely, I’m sure, most want to be like Auntie Alina.”

“We just keep telling them, ‘Just stay in school and you’ll be like me,’” Kallon replied.

Sesay said she hopes that the next decade of MMW will bring even more female empowerment and equity to Sierra Leone.

“MMW is 10 years in operation in Sierra Leone, and that means 10 years of resilience, working with communities and building a movement,” Sesay said. “So, by the next decade, we want to see strong women, stronger communities where we end violence against women, and have a very peaceful society.”

In the meantime, Sesay and Kallon will convene with a team of DU grad students assembled by Professor Renee Botta to help MMW with data collection and analysis, which will be used to create more tools to reach last-mile communities in the west African nation.

Students to take computer-based SAT next year

Many universities still ask for test scores as part of application process

BY JASON GONZALES CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Colorado high school students will continue to take the SAT and PSAT as the state’s way of measuring school and district academic performance, but they’ll switch to the computerized version in spring 2024.

A committee of teachers and school administrators recommended the College Board’s online suite of tests to replace its paper version, according to the Colorado Department of Education. e new computerized test was piloted by the College Board in 2021, and the organization said in a news release last year that it’s “easier to give, and more relevant.”

State law requires the state education department to take competitive bids every ve years for a statewide assessment. e selection, however, was delayed a year because of the pandemic. e state must wait 10 days before the contract becomes ofcial, according to a news release.

Colorado public colleges and universities no longer require a collegelevel exam like the SAT or ACT for acceptance, part of a growing “test

optional” movement nationwide. However, many colleges and universities still ask for test scores as part of their application, and even students applying to test-optional schools can submit their scores to show their qualifications.

Colorado began using the PSAT and SAT to measure students’ math and English abilities in 2017, part of a compromise to reduce the overall number of tests students take in school. At the time, Colorado was the epicenter of an opt-out

movement protesting a heavy testing burden, and many parents excused their students from taking standardized tests.

The idea was to use a test high school students would want to take anyway because it would help with their college and scholarship applications. Ninth and 10th graders take the PSAT and high school juniors take the SAT in the spring.

Colorado uses the test results along with graduation rates and other factors to rate the perfor-

mance of schools and districts. SAT scores also are one way students can show they meet graduation requirements for basic competency in math and language arts.

While Colorado high school students use the college readiness exams, K-8 students use the Colorado Measure of Academic Success, or CMAS, to test math, English, and science understanding.

Where to find food assistance programs in Denver metro area

BY ELLLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Low-income households face a tighter budget this month as the program that helps families in Colorado buy food saw its pandemic-era funding boost come to an end.

Coloradans who receive bene ts from the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, had received an extra amount of bene ts every month since March 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

e extra amount, or “emergency allotments,” were authorized by Congress, but they ended due to recent congressional action. A nal emergency allotment was issued in February, according to the Colorado Department of Human Services.

Understanding the Long Bill

The scal year for Colorado state government begins on July 1 and ends on June 30 of the following year. Like any other large entity, the agencies of our state government work year round on the budget for the following year. It is important to understand some basics about the state budget before examining it in depth.

Ultimately the Governor of Colorado presents a budget to the legislature for its approval or rejection. e budget bill known as “ e Long Bill” is the result of year round planning by di erent state agencies, the Governor and those who assist him. e O ce of State Planning and Budgeting assists the Governor with planning his budget and making various spending recommendations to the legislature much like the O ce of Management and Budget assists the president.

Once the legislature has debated the “Long Bill” both houses will vote on that bill and send it to the governor for his signature or veto. e Governor can sign or veto the whole

e legislature has a signi cant input into the budget through the Joint Budget Committee. e Joint Budget Committee of the Colorado General Assembly is composed of six members currently, three Senators and three Representatives. Currently, it consists of two Democrats from the State Senate and one Republican. e House of Representatives also have two Democrats and one Republican on it. It is chaired by Je co’s own Sen. Rachel Zenzinger of Arvada. e vice chair is Rep. Shannon Bird from Adams County. e purpose of the Joint Budget Committee is “study-

ing the management, operations, programs and scal needs” of the Colorado state government. eir role is very important. In fact, at one time, it was said that the Chairman of the Joint Budget Committee was the second most powerful person in state government with only the Governor exercising more power. e Joint Budget Committee holds hearings and discussions on the state budget throughout the year even when the legislature is out of session. e committees work is that important because of all sorts of entities and individuals ought to have some input regarding government expenditures.

A wonderful feature of the internet and government transparency is that documents and explanations about di erent features of the state budget are online for perusal by the public. e narrative of the Long Bill provides an excellent example of what you can discover online.

Reading these documents, which can be found through any internet search, can be enlightening. e governor’s initiative re: early childhood education is but one part of the state budget even though an entire new department was created to oversee it.

My intent is to examine the budget in more detail. Future articles will include information from state agency heads about their annual budget work, interviews with current and former JBC members, as well as an analysis of what makes up the budget on both the revenue and expenditure side.

More housing options can help small businesses succeed and Colorado’s economy thrive

As housing prices and cost of rent continues to soar throughout Colorado, so does the strain on our small businesses. The consequences of the housing crisis we find ourselves in ripples throughout communities across Colorado: hurting families, businesses and our economy.

I’ve lived and worked in Jefferson County for the last 25 years as the CEO of a manufacturing small business and I’ve experienced firsthand the ramifications of the housing crisis. While Jeffco is a beautiful place to live with local shops and scenic views, its housing expenses have risen to be 62% higher than the national average and the average rent for a one bedroom apartment is $2,171 –making it hard for my employees to live in the same community where they work.

The lack of affordable options places a heavy burden on my employees. Like many Colorado

with I/DD is approximately 26 % compared to 79% for people without disabilities. So, there is plenty of hiring potential. In the experience of the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center and the individuals we assist, people with I/DD have found great job matches in a variety of roles, industries and settings, from restaurants, to retail, hotels, senior living services, entertainment/movie theatres, preschool, schools, dog “daycare,” grocers, and big box venues.

With job coaching and employment supports through agencies like DDRC and similar providers, people with I/DD explore their interests, survey job options, grow skills, and get on-the-job support to facilitate a win-win for them-

workers on the front range, my employees have to commute about an hour each way to get to work. Not only does that daily commute increase traffic on the highways during rush hour, it also forces my employees to absorb additional costs that hurt their ability to provide for themselves and their families. Our employees that live a distance from our headquarters and rely on child care are put in a difficult position.

A long commute is just one example among many of how the lack of affordable options hurts my small business. I’ve adapted to the needs of my employees by making their work schedules more flexible, but there’s a limit to how much my small business can bear. It’s become nearly impossible to

selves and the employer.

These issues and opportunities are moving toward the forefront as Colorado seeks to develop businesses in the state. “We strive for the business community to fully support and mobilize our available workforce in its entirety,” said Jansen Tidmore, President and CEO of Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation, “including employing the talent and capabilities of people with I/DD.”

As a chamber representing businesses, and a nonprofit serving people with I/DD, we invite you to see people with I/DD for their dignity and abilities first, and welcome them in all areas of life. You may discover a wonderful coworker and loyal, valued team member!

Kristin Kim, Vice President, West Metro Chamber of Commerce Michele Majeune, Director, Community Relations, Developmental Disabilities Resource Center

Other businesses in the manufacturing industry based in Golden have encountered similar problems and many have explored moving out of Colorado to reduce their overhead costs. If costs of living don’t come down, this could eventually trickle down to small businesses and incentivize them to leave in order to save money, hurting Colorado’s economy.

Small businesses make up about 80% of Colorado’s economy, and losing small businesses because of high costs of living will have lasting consequences for decades to come. If we continue moving in this direction, communities will lose vital subsects of professions and families will end up decentralized.

Jefferson County has been slow

to react to the housing crisis despite housing many manufacturing businesses like mine, and it’s time for the state to work with communities across Colorado to create more affordable housing options. This problem has become too big for counties and cities to do this alone – and we need to solve the housing crisis now.

To address these challenges, we need to create more different types of housing that will help create more options for low- and moderate-income families. Solving the housing crisis should be Colorado’s top priority to help small businesses bounce back. By working together and investing in more housing options, we can create a more vibrant and sustainable community for all Coloradans.

Type in “restaurant” on Google Maps and set the lter to “open 24 hours.” You’ll be hard-pressed to nd any local restaurants serving up food to the night owls, late workers and early risers.

Unless you’re seeking around-the-clock Mexican food.

“We’re open 24 hours, and it’s something fresh, you know?” said Govanny Alvarado, a member of the family who runs Alvarado’s Mexican Fast Food. Compared to other restaurants, “you can taste the di erence,” Alvarado said.

e new Englewood spot that opened in August adds to a small but mighty list of Mexican joints that o er all-day, all-night service in the Denver metro area — a type of restaurant that’s becoming more di cult to nd since the COVID-19 pandemic struck.

“Most people like us, you know, we’re always looking for a late-night snack,” said Alvarado, 21, adding that his family “understands the struggle” to nd restaurants that are open late.

His family members, longtime workers in the Mexican fast-food industry, gained experience at his uncle’s restaurant in Arizona. ey later started working for Taco Star and Tacos Rapidos, two chains with 24-hour locations in the metro area, Alvarado said.

“And Taco Star, the one in ornton here, that’s where my dad worked, and that’s where I started as well when I was young,” Alvarado said of the location near 84th Avenue and Washington Street.

When his family members had the chance to start their own restaurant about six years ago, they opened Tacos Los Compas — another 24-hour eatery, near downtown Denver and the Auraria Campus.

“Most of the people that I’ve known or talked to customer-wise, they’re all from Arizona or California, and they all say they miss that taste of authentic Mexican food,” Alvarado said.

Carrying on authentic recipes is part of the job as well for Tamale Kitchen, a longstanding family business with locations around the metro area.

What makes the restaurant unique is “the green chile, the New Mexico-style red chile, the tamale avors, just the avors in general of just old grandma recipe — the beans, the rice, everything’s grandma’s recipes,” said Jose Bishop, owner of the Westminster and Northglenn locations.

e restaurant grew out of an e ort to sell tamales door to door in 1980, and the rst Tamale Kitchen opened in Lakewood in 1981, according to its website.

Its Northglenn location at 104th Avenue and Huron Street stays open around the clock on the weekends, running from 5 a.m. Friday through 10 p.m. Sunday.

e business has expanded to eight locations, stretching from Adams County all the way to Highlands Ranch, and some are franchises run by people outside the family, Bishop said.

Familiar places see challenges

Alvarado noted that after the COVID-19 pandemic shook up the

economy, it’s di cult to nd 24hour restaurants.

Staples of late-night food in Denver permanently closed amid the pandemic, including the Denver Diner o Speer Boulevard and Colfax Avenue and, to the south, the Breakfast King at Santa Fe Drive and Mississippi Avenue. Both had been open 24/7.

Tom’s Diner, also on Colfax Avenue near downtown, shut down in March 2020 during the pandemic’s early days. It reopened in 2022 as a bar and lounge called Tom’s Starlight, no longer open 24/7.

Pete’s Kitchen, located on Colfax in central Denver, remains open 24 hours Friday and Satur-

Other than that, though, 24hour options in the metro area tend to be con ned to chains that aren’t local, such as IHOP, Denny’s, McDonald’s or Wa e House.

e trend of restaurant headwinds during the pandemic applies to the entire industry, not just 24-hour restaurants, said Denise Mickelsen, a spokesperson for the Colorado Restaurant Association.

“Operations are proving increasingly di cult in the face of the ongoing labor shortage and soaring costs, causing restaurant owners and operators to make changes that include decreasing operating hours,” Mickelsen said.

‘All walks of life’

Bishop, the owner of the north-

ern Tamale Kitchen locations, has felt the challenges himself. His Westminster location used to o er some 24-hour service like the Northglenn spot, but sta ng issues led to shortened hours starting around spring 2020, he said.

ough they can be tough to operate, Bishop, 38, said 24hour restaurants serve di erent parts of a community.

“ ere’s still 11 p.m. (movie) showings, so people going home at 1 or 2. We get a lot of nightshift workers, people who are going to work at 4 in the morning, a lot of construction workers bringing burritos to their coworkers,” Bishop said.

“It’s a little mixed — people of all walks of life going out for entertainment, getting o of work late. Just a variety of di erent people out and about.”

Everybody hates Hamlet at Miners Alley

To be or not to be… bored by the ramblings of a certain prince of Denmark is a question one need not face when going to see the hilarious new entry in Miners Alley Playhouse’s season, “I Hate Hamlet.”

e real question is whether you can relate to an someone struggling with feeling like a failure and searching for the brief moments when things just seem to gel. Which really could be anybody.

“What drew me to this production is how honest it is. It’s hilarious and big, but it also has so much heart,” wrote John Hauser, who plays the show’s lead, in an email interview. “So many artists deal with the same things that Andrew goes through, feelings of inadequacy, imposter syndrome, but also those feelings of being in the moment and owning a role, even if only for a brief moment.”

“I Hate Hamlet” runs at Miners Alley, 1224 Washington Ave., from Friday, March 31 through Sunday, April 23. Performances are at 7:30 p.m., ursday through Saturday, and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

e show tells the story of Andrew Rally (Hauser), a daytime television actor whose show has recently been canceled. He is cast in a production of Shakespeare in the Park as Hamlet but isn’t sure he can pull the character o , but when he is visited by the ghost of former Hamlet performer John Barrymore, things get a little more complicated.

COMING ATTRACTIONS

“It is really a quirky, witty script that moves along nicely,” said director Rory Pierce.

“In addition to how funny and smart it is, there’s a swashbuckling sword ght and just enough Shakespeare to whet your appetite, but not enough to put you asleep.”

While the show does have some inside jokes and references that fans of e Bard will no doubt enjoy, Pierce said knowledge of the playwright’s canon isn’t a prerequisite to having a good time at the show.

“If audiences go away in a better mood than they arrived in and had an evening of fun and laughter, that’s what we’re aiming for,” Pierce said. “We also hope that they’ll have a slightly better appreciation of the work that goes into performing and a greater appreciation of the theater.”

While there are laughs aplenty, as is always the case with a Miners Alley production, everyone has their sights firmly set on the humanity of the story being told.

“This show is unique in the way that it can be so wild and over the top, but also so genuine and honest at the same time,” Hauser wrote. “I hope audiences leave

with a smile on their face.”

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — The Wonder Years at Summit Music Hall

Hearing the name The Wonder Years probably makes most people think of the golden years of their youth (or a late 1980s sitcom about the golden years of youth). Pennsylvania’s band of the same name can certainly pull at the heartstrings, but the indie rock favorites accomplish this by blending aching and searching lyricism with emo-indebted rocky stylings.

In support of 2022’s “The Hum Goes on Forever,” they’ll be stopping by Summit Music Hall , 1902 Blake St. in Denver, at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 28. Joining them are the wonderful alt-rock group Hot Mulligan. Get a ticket at www. livenation.com.

Blame Utah for state’s air pollution

The EPA does

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

ere’s a new strategy in Colorado’s ght against dangerous ozone air pollution:

Blame Utah.

Coal- red power plants and oil and gas drilling in northeastern Utah are responsible for ozone drifting to the east into Colorado’s nine-county nonattainment zone for the pollutant, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

e amount of ozone that Utah is pumping toward Colorado violates the federal “good neighbor” rules of the Clean Air Act, which have been used in the past to force Eastern states to clean up coal plants to help downwind states. e EPA rejected Utah’s State Implementation Plan (SIP) for cutting ozone in February and told the state to prepare more cuts, including adding expensive scrubbing equipment to a handful of coal power plants in Utah and Wyoming.

Utah’s legislature agreed something needed to be done and set aside $2 million — for legal fees to sue the EPA and avoid the extra cleanup.

“Utah is not being a good neighbor,” said Robert Ukeiley, Colorado senior attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity, a nonpro t that works extensively on air pollution

issues and the Clean Air Act.

e neighbors, in the form of the Utah Attorney General’s o ce, declined comment, citing the lawsuit Utah led in February to block the EPA’s bad neighbor declaration. In voting to fund the lawsuit, Utah lawmakers argued the EPA ruling would force closures of vital power plants, though environmental groups say e ective control equipment can greatly reduce the pollutants.

Colorado environmental groups want the Colorado state government to intervene with the EPA in favor of the Utah restrictions. Backing up the EPA should be part of Colorado’s overall ozone ght, which they say should also include tougher restrictions at home on Front Range oil and gas drilling and transportation emissions. It’s the equivalent of free money in the di cult battle to reduce ozone, which had been declining but then leveled o and began rising again in recent years.

“ ere’s an opportunity for Colorado to join in a lawsuit to help reduce pollution, but the Polis administration has decided not to,” Ukeiley said.

Colorado regulators said in a statement they are monitoring the good neighbor case against Utah. “We have not joined EPA good neighbor suits in the past,” according to a Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment spokesperson. “We are laser focused on continuing the work to protect clean air in Colorado for all.”

It’s too bad, Ukeiley added. States on the East Coast join such lawsuits frequently in order to bolster the case against their ill-behaving neighbor states.

“But Colorado never does that,” he said.

e EPA’s proposed restrictions on Utah, which the agency says would take e ect in mid-March, are part of a sweeping e ort to declare “good neighbor” sanctions for 26 states under the Clean Air Act. e EPA reduced the ceiling on cities’ ozone allowances in 2015 to 70 parts per billion, with some scientists arguing the limits should be far lower to protect human health.

An EPA fact sheet accompanying the good neighbor proposal says it will cut ozone-contributing nitrogen oxide by 29% from power generation across those states, saving lives, reducing asthma and preventing other respiratory illnesses. By 2026, the EPA says, the rules would eliminate up to 1,000 premature deaths, 2,400 hospital and emergency room visits and 1.3 million cases of asthma symptoms.

e EPA’s justi cation for the new good neighbor rulings, published in the Federal Register, says the agency’s well-established monitoring methods show Utah contributing more than the 1% threshold of regulated substances to other states. “Its highest-level contribution is 1.29 parts per billion to Douglas County, Colorado,” the EPA said.

at number appears small, but the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission and the Regional Air Quality Council spend countless hours discussing strategies and policies to potentially shave a part or two per billion o summer ozone levels in the Front Range nonattainment area. Readings in recent summers have spiked above 80 ppb at some monitors.

Some recent policy e orts have focused on reducing ozone-causing emissions from small engine lawn and garden equipment, which state o cials estimate contribute about 2.5 ppb to daily summer ozone. e Colorado oil and gas industry, seek-

ing to head o further regulation, has pointed to the same state emissions list that attributes more than half of daily ozone to “background” sources, including naturally occurring ozone and precursors blown in from out of state, including the West Coast and Asia.

One of the EPA’s proposed solutions to ozone problems in other states has been a “cap and trade” program, where a state in violation of good neighbor policies must set an overall limit on emissions such as nitrogen oxide. Companies including power generators then decide what is the most e cient way for them to reach those limits, whether buying and installing scrubbing equipment or acquiring credits from other companies that are below their limits.

Environmental groups call the good neighbor rules some of the most e ective tools the EPA has to combat ozone, and note that the 2023 EPA proposal for cap and trade adds in new sources to control. ose include engines used in pumping natural gas through pipelines, cement kilns, paper mills and oil and gas re neries.

“

ose rules have saved thousands or tens of thousands of lives by reducing air pollution,” Ukeiley said.

If there’s any remaining good news for Colorado out of the EPA actions, it’s that Colorado is not among the 26 states the agency has declared to be a bad neighbor to someone else. You’re welcome, Kansas.

But Coloradans shouldn’t get smug, Ukeiley said, as long as the state fails to contain its own ozone problem.

“ e EPA has not found us to be an upwind state,” he said. “We disagree with that.”

Colorado lawmakers want to o er scholarships to help fill workforce gaps

Bills seek to pay education costs, including tuition, fees, books and supplies

BY ERICA BREUNLIN THE COLORADO SUN

As Colorado hurts for more early childhood educators, nurses, re ghters and workers across other industries, state legislators are attempting to ll critical workforce gaps with a pair of bills that would provide free training to an estimated 20,000 students and support about 15,000 graduating high school students each with $1,500 scholarships.

One of the measures would cover education costs — including tuition, fees, books and supplies — for students wanting to teach elementary schoolers, preschoolers or infants and toddlers as well as students interested in nursing, construction, re ghting, law enforcement and forest management. A second bill would provide scholarships to students heading to community colleges, trades schools or universities to prepare for jobs in health care, manufacturing, construction, nance, engineering, IT, education and behavioral and mental health.

Both bills, expected to be introduced later this week, have bipartisan support as they aim to ease the heavy costs

students often shoulder while learning skills they need to join the workforce. Funding for each bill would stretch for two years and come from the state’s general fund.

“With this signi cant infusion of resources, it really is a jump-start to try and get more of our traditional and nontraditional age students into these industries that are so desperate for workers,” House Speaker Julie McCluskie, D-Dillon, said ahead of a Tuesday morning news conference announcing the pieces of legislation.  McCluskie is a prime sponsor on the bill that would fund training for students.

at bill proposes spending $45 million on students’ education costs from the state’s general fund, including $38.6 million to support students earning a certi cate or associate degree at a public community college, local district college or area technical college.

A separate $5 million would be directed to short-term nursing programs at community colleges with the goal of preparing more nurses to sta local hospitals. And $1.4 million would be funneled to a competitive grant program facilitated by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment and available to registered apprenticeship programs in building and construction trades.

e free education initiative builds on the Care Forward Colorado Program, which Gov. Jared Polis intro-

duced in August as a way to help the state overcome a crippling shortage of health care workers. at program, funded by $26 million of federal COVID stimulus funding over two years, is o ering free schooling for students pursuing careers as certi ed nursing assistants, emergency medical technicians, pharmacy technicians, phlebotomy technicians, medical assistants or dental assistants.

More than 1,400 students in training through the program have graduated from the Colorado Community College System, local district colleges and area technical colleges since last fall, according to information Gov. Jared Polis cited during the news conference. Along with lawmakers, he hopes to replicate the success of the program in other industries that have been plagued by sta shortages throughout the pandemic.

e other piece of legislation that would award scholarships to graduating high schoolers could bene t more than one-fourth of the graduating class of 2024, according to lawmakers.

e bill would help students in eligible disciplines cover expenses for books, fees and tuition and would expedite their path through higher education and training, said Rep. Matt Martinez, D-Monte Vista, who is sponsoring the bill.

“ is is the type of meaningful legislation that is really going to put dollars in the hands of our students

and (make) sure that they have the skills necessary to be successful,” said Martinez, who previously worked for nine-and-a-half years at Adams State University.

Chatfield shuts out D’Evelyn on the soccer pitch

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — Chat eld’s girls soccer team hasn’t wasted any time diving head rst into the Spring season.

On March 13, the Chargers played their third game in ve days since the o cial start of regular-season play began March 9.

“It’s about getting stu done and getting wins when we can,” Chateld coach Brock Blume said of the Chargers with already three games under their belts. “More importantly we were guring out who we are as a team. at is what you saw today.”

Chat eld got second-half goals from juniors Emily Russum and Anna Snodgrass for a 2-0 victory over D’Evelyn. It was the rst game of the season for the Jaguars.

e non-league game was a defensive struggle through the rst 40 minutes. It wasn’t until nearly midway through the second half did someone put the ball into the back of the net.

D’Evelyn was trying to clear the ball from just outside its own net, but Russum was able to get a foot the clearing attempt and de ect the ball past D’Evelyn goalie Lexi Ornstein.

“ ey kind of tried to clear it out,” Russum said of her second goal on the season. “I just took a stab at it and it went in. It was super important to get a win with this one.”

Chat eld (2-1 record) was coming o a 2-1 loss to Highlands Ranch on Saturday, March 11.

“Coming o a bit of a disastrous, ukey loss down at Highlands Ranch on Saturday, we nally got back our bearings,” Blume said. “We also got

some players back who were missing because of club. It was almost like a restart.”

Chat eld got an insurance goal in the 74th minute with Snodgrass picking up her rst goal of the season to secure the 2-0 victory. Junior goalie Alyssa Green picked up the shutout in net for the Chargers.

“We have a really strong junior core and they are really about being together, working for each other,” Blume said. “It’s an exciting year to have them around and one more year in the future.”

Blume had eight juniors in the starting line-up against D’Evelyn (01). e Chargers nished fourth in the Class 5A Je co League standings last season and su ered an overtime loss in their rst-round playo game against Fairview.

“We are de ntely a young team and trying to do our best to compete with the older girls,” Russum said. “I

think we’ll do well this season.”

D’Evelyn won’t play its second game until Monday, March 17. e Jaguars are scheduled to face Holy Family on the road.

White hot finish in 2023 Je co HS Senior Game

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — A lot of shooting and a little bit of defense helped Team White erase a 17-point halftime de cit March 16 at the Gold Crown Field House.

e White squad coached by Dakota Ridge coach Sean Kovar grabbed a 136-125 victory over the Blue squad in the 2023 Je co HS Senior Boys Basketball Game. e Blue team coached by Bear Creek coach Pete Spiessbach held a 77-60 lead at halftime, but White scored 38 points in both the third and fourth quarters to rally for the victory.

“Never a doubt that the White team was going to win,” Kovar said with a grin. “We were con dent the whole time, even when we were down. We were like, ‘ ey will cool o .’ e guys wanted to compete and get some stops. It was so fun.”

While 10 players reached doubledigit points in the game that featured 261 points, just behind the record of 262 points scored in the Je co all-star game in 2018, it was a defensive play

that brought the biggest cheers.

Alameda senior Claude Smith took a defensive charge in the fourth quarter as the White team started to pull away.

“We did say that if anyone takes a charge they would get an extra 2 minutes on the court,” Kovar said. “Claude from Alameda did take a charge. at was awesome.”

e Blue’s squad shooting was impressive in the rst half. Valor Christian’s Evan Gomez couldn’t miss pouring in 24 points in the rst half. Columbine senior Levi O’Brien was dominate on both ends of the court, but O’Brien tweaked his ankle early in the third quarter and didn’t return to the game.

Chat eld senior Shay Rumsey had 24 points and was named the Blue squad MVP. He clearly had a great time going up against good friend and rival Trevor Fuller of Dakota Ridge.

“I just came in here to have fun. I love basketball. I’ve been playing basketball my whole life,” Rumsey said.

“I’ve been playing with him (Fuller) since pre-k. en he went to Dakota

Fuller was named the MVP for the White squad as he went over the 20-point mark. While the scoreboard was an after thought at times, Fuller did take a look at it during halftime.

“At halftime I looked at the scoreboard and was like, ‘Crap. We are down by 17.’ We just kept playing,” Fuller said. “It wasn’t like there was any defense either way. We started playing a little defense and made some shots. It was fun.”

Je erson senior Salman Ali had 19 points and Pomona senior Zeke Jojola had a game-high six 3-pointers for the White squad. Arvada West senior Carson Nichols helped the White team close out the victory with 13 points in the second half.

“I just told them to have fun and enjoy the moment,” Kovar said. “We wanted to play with pace and any look was a good look.”

Rocky Mountain Refuge helps unhoused Coloradans find peace in the face of death

BY LINDSEY FORD, DANA KNOWLES ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

As the population of unhoused people continues to grow across the country and Colorado, thousands of people die every year, often while living in the streets, in cars or tents. Despite this, there are few organizations that o er services to help the unhoused navigate sickness and eventually death.

“ is a respite before I die,” said Daniel, somberly, while talking with Rocky Mountain PBS. He’s 63-yearsold, unhoused and dying from cancer.

“It’s comfortable in here. I don’t want to die on the streets,” he said. “I’d rather be in here and be comfortable until I’m deceased.”

Daniel is staying at Rocky Moun-

tain Refuge, an organization in Denver that provides hospice care for those experiencing homelessness.

Rocky Mountain Refuge has created a space to make unhoused people comfortable.

“ ey do everything they can for you here. is room is also cozy,” Daniel explained, gesturing across the space which ts two hospital beds, a dresser, desk and a nightstand. e few possessions Daniel has, he keeps close. He became unhoused almost three years ago.

tracks those numbers. In 2020, nearly 8,000 unhoused people died in the streets.

Rocky Mountain Refuge says it is the only shelter of its kind in Colorado and just one of four in the country that focuses exclusively on people experiencing homelessness.

Daniel says he’s grateful for the organization’s services.

“Some people would rather die on the streets, but I’m not one of those people,” Daniel said. “I’d just like to be comfortable until I’m deceased.”

ORDINANCE NO. 2203

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GOLDEN AMENDING CHAPTER 18.70 OF THE GOLDEN MUNICIPAL CODE TO REQUIRE ALLOCATIONS FOR THE CONGREGATE LIVING USE

WHEREAS, Chapter 18.70 of the Golden Municipal Code was enacted to place limits on certain residential growth in the City of Golden to a maximum of a onepercent increase in dwelling units per year; and

WHEREAS, City Council wishes to amend certain provisions of Chapter 18.70 and associated definitions to address residential unit allocation requirements for congregate living uses, including the boarding and rooming house use; and

WHEREAS, City Council believes these amendments will increase the effectiveness of the Golden Municipal Code with regard to those regulations and their underlying goals.

THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GOLDEN, COLORADO:

Section 1. The recitals set forth above are hereby incorporated by reference and are adopted as findings and determinations of the City Council.

Section 2. The second sentence of Section 18.70.010, titled “Purpose,” is hereby amended to read as follows with additions shown in bold, underlined text: Building permits shall be allocated in accordance with the provisions of this chapter such that those issued shall result in no more than a one-percent annual increase in the number of affected dwelling units and dwelling unit equivalents.

Section 3. Section 18.70.020, titled “Scope and applicability,” is hereby amended to read in full as follows with additions shown in bold, underlined text and deletions shown in bold, strikethrough text:

18.70.020 Scope and applicability.

(1) The provisions of this chapter shall apply to the issuance of building permits for all new dwelling units and structures containing congregate living uses within the City of Golden except:

(a) Structures located, or to be located, upon land owned by the Colorado School of Mines, which are used to house only Colorado School of Mines students, staff, or faculty.

(b) Expansion or remodeling of residential property, if the expansion or remodeling does not increase the number of dwelling units or the number of bedrooms in a congregate living use is not increased by reason of such expansion or remodeling.

(c) Industrial or commercial construction, unless such industrial or commercial construction includes structures which are to be occupied as a dwelling units or congregate living uses.

(d) Residential development projects excluded by regular or special election in accordance with subsection 18.70.020(2).

(e) Residential development projects granted a reapportionment by city council ordinance as set forth in subsection 18.70.020(3).

(2) A residential development project may be specifically excluded from meeting the requirements of this chapter, if the electors of the City of Golden, through the petition process, adopt an ordinance enacting such an exclusion at a regular or special election. Such election shall be held according to the applicable provisions of the Golden City Charter, with any expenses covered by the party requesting the exclusion.

(3) City council may approve an ordinance granting a reapportionment of available annual allocations or future allocations, and upon such conditions as it may prescribe, to a qualifying residential development project sufficient for use and issuance of building permits in the calendar year in which such request was made, or in future years as determined by the conditions of the ordinance. City council’s action shall occur following public hearing and recommendation by planning commission. Planning commission’s hearing and recommendation, and city council’s hearing and decision on the requested reapportionment, shall follow the hearing and notice procedures in sections 18.48.040 and 18.48.050 chapter 18.48.

(a) City council will grant such reapportionment upon a finding that all of the following criteria, as may be applicable, are met:

1.That the residential development project requesting reapportionment is: i. A multifamily “affordable dwelling unit” project, which is and will remain housing for income qualified individuals as further defined in section 18.04.020; or ii. A multifamily or mixed-use project located within 2,500 feet of a designated light rail station (“transitoriented project”).

2. That the project demonstrates compliance with Golden Vision Values, the Comprehensive Plan and any applicable neighborhood plan.

3. That the project complies with the applicable design standards contained in chapters 18.29 and 18.40 of the Golden Municipal Code and the policies of the city’s comprehensive plan, as demonstrated by a conceptual site plan to be submitted in connection with the requested reapportionment.

4.That granting reapportionment for a transit-oriented project or a multifamily affordable dwelling unit project would not result in the assignment of more than ⅓ of allocations available for issuance and use during any given calendar year.

5. That granting reapportionment for a transit-oriented project or multifamily affordable dwelling unit project would not preclude city council from assigning a sufficient number of allocations in its annual distribution resolution to satisfy another transit-oriented project or multifamily affordable dwelling unit project previously granted a reapportionment under this subsection 18.70.020(3).

(b) For any transit-oriented project or multifamily affordable dwelling unit project, the ordinance approving the reapportionment shall provide that all dwellings in the project will secure a sufficient number of allocations either prior to the issuance of building permit or within the following four calendar years through a specific assignment or distribution in city council’s annual distribution resolution as provided in section 18.70.060, or by use of surplus allocations in the year end pool.

(c) A senior housing project developed without having to secure all required allocations based upon the provisions of this chapter in effect prior to December 31, 2014 shall not be converted to another residential use without first having secured an allocation for each dwelling to be so converted, according to the provisions of this chapter.

(d) In approving an ordinance under subsection 18.70.020(3) for either a transit-oriented project or an affordable dwelling unit project, city council shall have the authority to reapportion available annual allocations on a per unit basis within a residential, mixed use or mixed income development.

Section 4. The definition of the term “allocation” in Section 18.70.030, titled “Definitions,” is hereby amended to read as follows with additions shown in bold, underlined text:

Allocation. “Allocation” means a right, granted by the city pursuant to this chapter, to make application for a building permit to build one dwelling unit or dwelling unit equivalent. An allocation is not a guarantee of receiving approval for a building permit. Approval of the building permit itself will occur through the established building permit review process.

Section 5. The definition of “congregate living use” is added to Section 18.70.030, titled “Definitions,” after the term “building permit” and before the term “development” as follows:

Congregate living use. “Congregate living use” means a structure or structures providing living, sleeping, kitchen, and sanitary facilities for persons who do not jointly occupy the entirety of a dwelling unit or who jointly occupy the entirety of a dwelling unit but who exceed the maximum number of adults permitted in a “household” as defined in section 18.04.020.

A congregate living use may occur within a dwelling unit. A congregate living use may also occur within a structure or multiple structures where not all portions of the structure or not all structures contain living, sleeping, kitchen, and sanitary facilities, but the structure as a whole or all structures comprising such use together provide residents with living, sleeping, kitchen, and sanitary facilities. This use includes individuals or groups of persons who have separate contracts or agreements with property owners. Tenancy of a congregate living use shall be for 30 consecutive days or more. Residents of a congregate living use may share bedrooms (sleeping units) and may have shared living, kitchen, and sanitary facilities, or may have some combination of private and shared facilities. This use includes, but is not limited to, boarding and rooming houses, dormitories for students, faculty, or staff of a primary education, secondary education, college/university, or seminary use, fraternity and sorority houses, and other rent-by-the-room configurations. This use does not include residential care-type uses (i.e., uses where occupants receive treatment, supervision, emergency shelter, personal care, protective oversight, or other similar care or services from staff on-site) such as, without limitation, convalescent and nursing homes, hospices, and community correction facilities. This use also does not include hotels, motels, tourist homes, or other lodging uses.

Section 6. The definition of the term “development” in Section 18.70.030, titled “Definitions,” is hereby amended to read as follows with additions shown in bold, underlined text:

Development. “Development” means the entire plan to construct or place one or more dwelling units or dwelling unit equivalents on a particular parcel or contiguous parcels of land within the city including, but not limited to, a subdivision approval, a planned unit development, and a mobile home park.

Section 7. The definition of “dwelling unit equivalent” is added to Section 18.70.030, titled “Definitions,” after the term “development” and before the term “dwelling unit” as follows:

Dwelling unit equivalent. “Dwelling unit equivalent” means two bedrooms in a congregate living use.

Section 8. The definition of the term “dwelling unit” in Section 18.70.030, titled “Definitions,” is hereby amended to read as follows with additions shown in bold, underlined text and deletions shown in bold, strikethrough text:

Dwelling unit. “Dwelling unit” has the same meaning as defined in section 18.04 085020 of the Golden Municipal Code. “Dwelling unit” includes “mobile

City of Golden

homes” as defined by Golden Municipal Code section 18.04.240020

Section 9. Section 18.70.040, titled “Administration of this chapter,” is hereby amended to read in full as follows with deletions shown in bold, strikethrough text:

18.70.040 Administration of this chapter.

(1) Planning commission and city council may adopt rules as necessary to administer this chapter.

(2) Calculations performed in the administration of this chapter shall be rounded downward for all partial numbers.

Section 10. Subsection (1) of Section 18.70.050, titled “General provisions,” is hereby amended to read as follows with additions shown in bold, underlined text:

(1) Allocation required for a building permit.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, an allocation is required as a condition precedent to the issuance of a building permit which will result in the creation of a new dwelling unit. For structures containing more than one dwelling unit, one allocation for each dwelling unit in the structure is required as a condition precedent to issuance of a building permit for such structure. A dwelling unit may be replaced with another dwelling unit without obtaining an allocation, provided that the replacement unit is located on the same parcel, tract, or lot, and a building permit to replace the dwelling unit is obtained within 12 months. The planning commission may, at their discretion, extend this period of time an additional 12 months upon request of the applicant and a finding of good cause.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, for a congregate living use, one allocation shall be required for each dwelling unit equivalent as a condition precedent to the issuance of a building permit for a structure containing such use; provided, however, if the total number of bedrooms in a congregate living use is not divisible by two, the number of allocations required for the congregate living use shall equal the total number of bedrooms divided by two and rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Section 11. Section 18.70.060, titled “Available allocations,” is hereby amended to read in full as follows with additions shown in bold, underlined text:

18.70.060 Available allocations.

(1) In January of each year city council shall determine by resolution the number of allocations which will be available for issuance and use during that year. The annual resolution shall assign a sufficient number of allocations directly for satisfaction of a previous reapportionment request granted to a transit-oriented project or affordable dwelling unit project by city council under subsection 18.70.020(3), and for a project(s) whose banking plan(s) included a planning commission recommendation for commitment of future allocations, if city council approves such commitment. The resolution shall then assign those remaining available allocations to the “open pool”, “moderate income housing pool”, and “hardship pool”, and determine the number of allocations within each such pool as will be available for the respective allocation periods.

(2) The total number of allocations available for issuance and use during each calendar year shall be equal to one percent of the number of dwelling units and dwelling unit equivalents which are estimated to exist in the city on December 31 of the prior calendar year, except that for the six-year period from 2015 through 2020, the overall number of allocations made available in aggregate shall be reduced such that the total number of allocations utilized during said six-year period shall not exceed an annual average increase of ninetenths percent, with an appropriate final adjustment, if necessary, being made to the annual resolution for calendar year 2020.

(a) The number of dwelling units and dwelling unit equivalents which exist in the city on December 31 of the prior year shall be estimated as follows:

1. Begin with the number of dwelling units and dwelling unit equivalents in the city which existed at the beginning of the previous calendar year.

2. Add the number of new dwelling units and dwelling unit equivalents for which building permits were issued during the previous calendar year which required an allocation for issuance.

3. Add the number of allocations secured by, or assigned to, previously exempted projects or dwellings during the previous calendar year.

4.Add the number of dwelling units and dwelling unit equivalents added to the city by reason of annexations during the previous calendar year.

5. Subtract the number of dwelling units and dwelling unit equivalents which were destroyed (and not replaced within 12 months), abandoned or otherwise ceased to be used as such during the prior calendar year.

6. Subtract the number of dwelling units and dwelling unit equivalents for which building permits had previously been issued, but which expired in the previous year without issuance of a certificate of occupancy.

(3)If the calculation of available allocations results in a partial number, the number shall be rounded down to establish the available allocations.

Section 12. The fifth sentence of Sub-subsection (b) of

Subsection (3) of Section 18.70.100, titled “Issuance of allocations,” is hereby amended to read as follows with additions shown in bold, underlined text and deletions shown in bold, strikethrough text: Any aggrieved party may appeal the director’s decision following the appeal process and procedure set forth in section 18.12.040 chapter 18.12 of the Golden Municipal Code.

Section 13. Section 18.70.110, titled “Banking of allocations,” is hereby amended to read in full as follows with additions shown in bold, underlined text and deletions shown in bold, strikethrough text:

18.70.110 Banking of allocations.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, the period of validity of an allocation may be extended through, and the allocation may be used in subsequent allocation periods upon approval by the city as provided in this section. The process of extending the period of validity of allocations in this section is referenced as “banking of allocations”.

(1) Banking of allocations will be permitted in the following circumstances only:

(a) The director of community and economic development shall approve an application for banking of allocations for multifamily or congregate living use projects if the number of dwelling units or dwelling unit equivalents (as applicable) to be banked corresponds to that found in an entire building or buildings in the project, and if the allocations are proposed to be used within the same calendar year as the initial award of allocation.

(b) The planning commission may approve a banking plan for multifamily or congregate living use projects for the purpose of banking beyond the end of a calendar year, upon a finding that building configuration, site constraints, or infrastructure phasing reasonably require that a larger increment of the development be built at one time.

(c) The planning commission may approve a banking plan for single household residential projects upon a finding that building configuration, site constraints, or infrastructure phasing reasonably require that a larger increment of the development be built at one time.

(2) Application for banking of allocations shall be made at or before the time of the allocation application. The application shall set forth a banking plan which includes the total number of dwelling units or dwelling unit equivalents (as applicable) in the project, the number of allocations sought to be banked, the time period during which the validity of allocations is proposed for extension, and the reason therefore.

(3) For applications submitted under subsection (1)(b) of this section, the planning commission shall determine at a hearing upon reasonable notice to the public, as provided in sections 17.30.050 18.48.030 and 18.48.040, whether or not banking, as requested, is appropriate as provided in this section.

(4) A nonrefundable fee shall be assessed in conjunction with each approved multiyear banking plan to cover the cost of the city administering banking plans. The fee shall be set by city council by resolution and shall be based upon the number of dwelling units or dwelling unit equivalents in the approved banking plan. The fee shall be payable on a pro rata (per unit) basis at the time of distribution of allocations to the banking plan. Failure to pay any installment of the fee within 30 days of distribution of allocations to the banking plan shall cause a forfeiture of such allocations.

(5) A party aggrieved by the decision of the planning commission or the director of community and economic development with respect to an application to bank allocations may appeal the decision to city council following the same procedure outlined in subsection 18.70.030(8).

(6) Requests for banking of allocations beyond the end of the calendar year of the application shall be subject to the following conditions:

(a) The maximum number of years in which allocations may be acquired pursuant to any banking plan of allocations shall be five. All allocations acquired within the banking period must be used during this time period.

(b) The maximum number of allocations which may be in the bank at any one time during the banking program shall not exceed the total number of allocations available in the city in the first year of approval of said banking.

(c) Banking plans will be approved only for a number of dwelling units or dwelling unit equivalents which correspond to that found in an entire building or buildings in the project.

(d) Subject to city council’s annual distribution of allocations pursuant to section 18.70.060 of this chapter, planning commission may recommend a commitment of future allocations to an approved banking plan project. Such commitment shall not bind city council’s action, but shall serve to be an indication of support for a specific project.

(7) Surrendered or forfeited allocations distributed to an approved banking plan from calendar years prior to the year during which they are surrendered or forfeited shall be deemed to have expired and shall not be available for distribution. Surrendered or forfeited allocations distributed to an approved banking plan in the same calendar year in which they are surrendered or forfeited shall be made available for redistribution

in accordance with the applicable provisions of this ordinance.

(8) The planning commission, may, upon a show of good cause, approve an extension of up to one year to an existing banking plan, to allow use of the banked allocations. The holder of the allocations may not acquire further allocations during the period of such extension.

(9) For the purpose of defining the total number of available allocations as described in subsection 18.70.060(2), the total number of dwelling units and dwelling unit equivalents in the city shall not include banked allocations which have not received building permits.

(10) An applicant banking allocations within the same calendar year, according to the conditions of subsection 18.70.110(1)(a), shall notify the director of community and economic development in writing within ten days after the allocations are granted of the number of allocations being banked and the reasons therefore.

(11) The annual reports to planning commission and city council pertaining to the administration of this chapter 18.70 shall include information regarding the number of banked allocations approved in the current year, used in the current year, and the total number of banked allocations by individual project.

(12) Approval of a “banking plan” shall not constitute a “vested right” to develop the project under C.R.S. 2468-101, or otherwise.

Section 14. If any article, section, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is held to be unconstitutional or invalid for any reason, such decision will not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance and each part or parts hereof irrespective of the fact that any one part or parts be declared unconstitutional or invalid.

Section 15. All other ordinances or portions thereof inconsistent or conflicting with this ordinance or any portion hereof is hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency or conflict.

Section 16. This ordinance is deemed necessary for the protection of health, welfare and safety of the community.

Section 17. The repeal or modification of any provision of the Municipal Code of the City of Golden by this ordinance shall not release, extinguish, alter, modify or change in whole or in part any penalty, forfeiture or liability, either civil or criminal, which shall have been incurred under such provision. Each provision shall be treated and held as still remaining in force for the purpose of sustaining any and all proper actions, suits, proceedings and prosecutions for enforcement of the penalty, forfeiture or liability, as well as for the purpose of sustaining any judgment, decree or order which can or may be rendered, entered or made in such actions, suits, proceedings or prosecutions.

Section 18. Codification Amendments. The codifier of the City’s Municipal Code, Municode, is hereby authorized to make such numerical and formatting changes as may be necessary to incorporate the provisions of this ordinance within the Golden Municipal Code.

Section 19 Effective Date. This ordinance shall become effective five (5) days after publication following final passage in accordance with Section 5.9 of the Charter for the City of Golden, Colorado.
