A smattering snow did not stop a small crowd from attending Earth Day celebrations in Lakewood. e April 22 event at Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park o ered a mix of educational opportunities paired with food and music.

Lakewood Sustainability Manager Jonathan Watchal said the event, which is in its 13th year, started as a workplace fair to help city employees learn about conservation and sustainability.

“Over the years, we also wanted to make sure that it was just a fun community event to bring people together to celebrate the love of our community,” Watchal said. He and others underscored the educational aspects of the day.

Wheat Ridge City Council grapples with statewide child care crisis

BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

O cials in Wheat Ridge are taking small steps to alleviate a crisis in child care access and a ordability.

eir aim is to expand the number of child care facilities in the city.

A report late last year highlighted the problem across the metro area. It found that nearly one in 10 parents or guardians reported they could not access child care at least one week in the past 12 months. e study, by the nonpartisan Colorado Health Institute, also linked access issues to other crises.

It found, for instance, that 39.7% of parents who had issues nding childcare also reported poor mental and general health.

Wheat Ridge City Council acknowledged links like those in its plans.

Speci cally, the council voted to allow child care centers in zones that previously prohibited them. is means providers can look in areas previously marked as “restricted commercial” and “neighborhood commercial” zones.

City Planner Scott Cutler predicted that once access opens, demand will follow. He explained that the planning commission has had several requests from child care provid-

ers who want to open new centers. Cutler and the commission had to decline many of these requests because zoning prohibited a daycare center in many of the locations requested.

“Probably one of the biggest requests we get, maybe, over the years in terms of people wanting to open and then nding that they can’t in a certain location,” Cutler said.

Cutler went on to say “there’s a major lack of childcare” in Wheat Ridge.

e plans, in the form of a memo that got a consensus vote on April 17, also require child care centers to comply with the stringent state standards for the welfare of kids. is meant reworking language in the current city code to align with the state requirements.

Councilman Korey Stites pointed out that the state standards will cause some spaces to improve their conditions. Stites disclosed his previous experience running a daycare during the pandemic, pointing out that “It’s incredibly di cult to get and maintain (a childcare license).”

“You have to have all the sprinklers and bells and whistles on your units,” Stites said. “So, we are introducing a much safer ‘brand of retail’ in those areas.”

Police o ering up to $17,000 for info in Alexa Bartell murder

BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Je erson County Sheri ’s O ce has announced a $17,000 award for information in the murder of a 20-year-old Arvada woman.

According to JCSO, Alexa Bartell was driving her car near 10600 Indiana St. on the night of April 19 when a large rock struck and killed her. e police believe that Bartell’s murder was one of several incidents that night where an unidenti ed person threw large rocks at cars from several di erent places in Je erson County. e department issued a time-stamped map of the incidents.

After Refacing

Police believe that someone was lobbing large rocks from the side of the road. In Bartell’s case, the rock struck and fatally wounded her inside the car.

JSCO also recently issued a call to Tesla owners. e cars are constantly recording, so JSCO is urging Teslas owners to check the stamped map if they drove in Jefferson County on the night of April 19-20.

ose with any information about Bartell’s murder or any other related incident should contact the Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP (7867). MDCS wants people to know that “no piece of information is insigni cant,” and they are accepting anonymous tips.

One of the city’s partners, Xcel Energy, gave away free light bulbs. LED lights, which last longer, are made primarily of a non-glass casing, use signi cantly less power than regular light bulbs. Xcel also showcased a rehabbed solar-powered tiny house. Xcel o cials said they also wanted

to bring attention to incentives, including a $500 rebate on electric vehicle charging stations, and to take feedback on the recent rate hikes.

Meanwhile, artisans sold their wares and just hung out. Flower Street Farm had tons of info on bees, honey, beeswax and more.

Taddiken Tree Co. brought in a mushroom model like one that several people around the booth had seen in their yards.

“If you see this, the tree is in trouble,” the Taddikan representative said, going on to describe the many possible problems that could be underlying.

Face Nectar was responsible for all the kids running around with beautifully emblazoned faces. Another boutique, Minerals and Metals, was all about the Casa Bonita opening. Among a booth full of rocks and crystals were South Park characters made of obsidian.

Other vendors included the Envi-

ronmental Protection Agency, which brought pencils made of recycled tires.Undestructable, is a nonpro t organization, sold decorative and sustainable planters and products to raise money and awareness for victims of domestic violence.

Most of the afternoon was framed by the sounds of the Big Hooray Blue Grass Band, from Golden, which played despite the cold weather.

ey made the day feel a little warmer in the snowy landscape.

Signi cant space at the celebration was dedicated to the electric vehicles. Watchal says it’s the second year that electric cars are included in the festival.

“Drive Clean Colorado is an organization that helps promote the transition to electric vehicles,” he said. “ ey do a lot of public outreach. ey also do a lot of work to help local governments with the transition in terms of how to electrify your eet and that type of thing.”

What Are Some Affordable Ways to Increase the Attractiveness of Your Home to Buyers?

This week’s column is inspired by an email received from Brock Pardo of PunchListUSA. His company is in the business of helping sellers fix problems identified by buyers in their inspection objections. Toward that end, he also offers free pre-listing consultations and quotes. (I offer free consultations too, but I’m not a contractor, so I can’t give quotes, just refer you to my preferred vendors for implementing my suggestions.)

Being in that business, Brock has no doubt come across some issues which could have easily been addressed prior to putting a home on the market, thereby perhaps selling it for more money.

Usually, when I get an unsolicited email with a “Top Ten” list, I find that it’s not the top ten items I would have selected, but this time I found that I agreed with all of them, so I’m going to adapt his list slightly for this column.

1) Fresh coat of paint. Brock cited a report that interior painting returns a 107% return-oninvestment, and exterior painting a 50% ROI, but I’d add that it depends on condition. If your home has a faded pastel exterior color popular in the 1990s with or without peeling paint, I’d say that a fresh paint job in a more up-to-date color would make a huge difference in first impression and the number of showings

Why Wouldn’t a Listing Agent Want to Maximize the Exposure of His or Her Real Estate Listings?

Although the average real estate agent barely makes a living and either has a second income source or a high-earning spouse, about 10% of agents earn a lot of money — and want to earn even more.

Myself, I make a very good living, as evidenced by the fact that I’m writing this week’s column while Rita and I are on vacation in Prague, capital of the Czech Republic. (I’ll be home by the time you read this column.)

But my business model does not involve doing every single thing to maximize my personal income. I get more satisfaction from trying to maximize my service to others, including my clients and the unknown readers of this column. From long before I became a Realtor, I lived by a motto that has mistakenly been attributed to Confucius. “Concentrate on giving, and the getting will take care of itself.”

This column/ad — what newspapers call an “advertorial” — is evidence of that strategy. As a former newspaper journalist trained on the metro desk of The Washington Post in 1968, I decided at the very beginning of my real estate career in 2003 that I would spend my marketing dollars on buying newspaper ad space to publish a real estate column.

It has paid off quite well. Unlike every real estate agent I know, I have never made a cold call or prospected in any way to get buyers and sellers to hire me. (This month, I just realized, is the 20th anniversary of getting my real estate license and starting as a broker associate

at the West office of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, now called Coldwell Banker Realty for some reason I have yet to learn.)

This column is my sole outreach to potential clients, and every week I get one or more calls from someone who says, in effect, “I’ve been reading your column for many years, knowing the day would come when I’d call you to sell my home. Today’s that day!”

The above is a long-winded way of saying that I’m happy to abide by the Realtor Code of Ethics (and state law) which says I should put clients’ interest ahead of my own. This brings me back to the question posed in this article’s headline.

Last week, members of REcolorado, Denver’s MLS, received an email detailing how easy our MLS has made it to withhold a listing from all syndication, including Zillow, Redfin, and even REcolorado’s own consumer-facing website, which is www.REcolorado.com

The email cast its guidance in the context of a seller requesting such limited exposure, but I can’t picture any seller giving his/her listing agent informed consent to limit the exposure of their home’s listing to just their listing agent’s own website or circle of prospects. I suspect that the only reason a listing agent would convince his/her client to approve that strategy would be to maximize the chance that the agent wouldn’t have to compensate a buyer’s agent, thereby doubling his earnings

that are set and offers that you receive.

2) Landscaping improvements. These can be quite affordable and, again, make a huge difference in the first impression that your home makes. A couple months’ service by Lawn Doctor can make a big difference in your lawn’s appeal, as can a load of fresh cedar chips for your nongrassy areas.

3) Upgrading lighting fixtures. Those “brass and glass” chandeliers and sconces are so 1990s, and are inexpensive enough to replace with, for example, brushed nickel fixtures. And even if you don’t replace any fixtures, replace all your incandescent or CFL light bulbs with affordable LED bulbs. The best deal on those, I’ve found, are 10-packs available from Batteries + Bulbs (Don’t put the CFLs in the trash. Take them to Home Depot for recycling, because they contain mercury.)

4) Minor kitchen updates. You don’t have to replace your Formica countertop if it’s not damaged or a really bad color, but replacing the faucet on your kitchen sink is an affordable upgrade. I like to see knobs and pulls on kitchen cabinets, and you can get affordable ones, as we did, at Hobby Lobby, of all places. Maybe paint or repaint your kitchen cabinets — white is a good choice. Beyond this, I’m happy to bring my stager and consult with you on further upgrades, because kitchens can make a huge difference, and certain improvements are worth considering.

5) Bathroom upgrades. Replacing those 1990s plastic Delta faucets is a nobrainer! And you can find some affordable replacement vanities at home improvement stores.

6) Replace or clean wall-to-wall carpeting. If your carpet isn’t shag and isn’t damaged here and there, cleaning is a must and can be quite affordable. My preferred carpet cleaner is Bruce Ruser of New Look Dry Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning, (303) 697-1584, who uses an environmentally friendly system

that utilizes plant-based ingredients. The website www.hostdry.com explains it.

7) Replace older appliances. These can be affordable. Look for Energy Star ratings, too. I had a 1990s home with its original white kitchen appliances. It sat on the market — until the seller replaced them with new stainless steel appliances.

8) Install new door and window hardware. Brock quotes a 2021 Zillow report that updated hardware has up to 80% return on investment. I’d like to see your current hardware before suggesting this update.

9) Declutter and organize. This is more about staging than repair of an inspection issue. We provide a free staging consultation for all listings, and that inevitably includes decluttering, thinning and organizing.

10) Deep clean your home. Again, this is a staging matter. And it’s a nobrainer!

That concludes my version of Brock Pardo’s top ten list. To that list I would add the following:

11) Wash your windows. You’ll need to remove screens when you wash your windows. Don’t reinstall them. Label and store them in your basement or garage. Removing window screens is almost like washing the windows, greatly improving visibility. If any of the screens are damaged (including sun damage), most Ace Hardware stores can rescreen them affordably.

12) Update your floor moldings. At a recent open house, a would-be buyer objected to the older unpainted wood moldings at the bottom of each wall. She said they should be white, and I realized that she’s right. You could just paint them white (maybe requiring priming with Kilz), or replace them all with flat ones that come in white.

Do you have your own suggestions of additional items? Let me know and maybe I’ll feature them in a follow-up column or on the blog posting of this article at www.GoldenREblog.com Jim

Cheryl Ashmore told Small that she didn’t even know that the photos were missing. She moved recently and remembers that day.

“We had my trunk open and the moving van open. So, there are so many people going in and out of the property over there at 38th and Wadsworth that I’m sure someone saw something and grabbed something, so boxes, not knowing what was in them.”

Ashmore said she does remember missing a tote full of beads, however. e missing photos were from a family project Ashmore was in charge of to digitize the photos. She had another container of photos to digitize.

Small is heard on the video pointing out the fact that old family photos do not get unpacked immediately after a move.

Ashmore agreed, adding that it was easy to lose track during the move.

“I had two boxes that said ‘Ashmore family pictures’ and I knew I had one. I went in this morning and saw it and was like, ‘Yeah, it’s there.’”

However, she was missing that second box.

Ashmore arrived at the station with more photos to prove that she owned the missing set. e result was a nice history lesson about the Ashmore family and their lives in the area. In the video, she sharesd that her Aunt Marjorie was a missionary at the Pilar of Fire, which was at

Bandimere Speedway to close in October

Owners looking for a new drag-racing location

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e roar of drag-race engines will go silent in Morrison in October when Bandimere Speedway closes for good, in part because drag racing and residential development aren’t always a good mix.

With the burgeoning residential development in the area, the Bandimeres are planning to sell their property along C-470 and nd a new location in the metro Denver area, according to John Bandimere Jr., the speedway’s chief spiritual o cer, who released a video message on April 21 on the closure plan.

“We are prepared to surrender the location we have called home for six decades,” Bandimere Jr. said.

Morrison Mayor Chris Wolfe said he was excited for the next chapter for the Bandimere family.

“Of course, they will be greatly missed, and they have been a wonderful neighbor to the town.,” Wolfe said. “We wish them the best on their 65th anniversary of racing.”

According to Bandimere Jr., John Bandimere Sr. and his wife Frances opened the racetrack originally in Arvada in 1956 as an expansion of their automotive machining and auto parts business and to provide “a place for people, especially for

young people, to enjoy the speed and performance of the automobile and to get o the streets.”

In 1958, because of neighbors’ concerns in Arvada, the Bandimeres moved to what at that time was a remote area west of Denver against the hogback. Fast forward to 2023, and again, the venue is looking for a new home to allow drag-race enthusiasts to continue to enjoy the sport.

“As we close this chapter, our family is taking the time to re ect on the hundreds, maybe thousands, of memories on under Mountain, and they are great memories,” Ban-

dimere Jr. said. “Our relationships with employees, racers, sponsors, sanctioning bodies, guests and service providers will remind us daily of what a privilege it’s been for my family to continue the legacy started by my parents.”

He said knowing how the Rooney Valley has grown, the family has been proactively looking for another location for about a year.

“Much the same as in 1956, the opportunity for a multi-use facility for drag racing is providing an exciting opportunity for our family, though a stressful one,” he said.

In 2021, the Bandimeres hosted a community meeting through Je co Planning & Zoning to rezone the 136-acre Speedway property to signi cantly increase what the property could be used for including commercial and mixed-use residential developments. e proposed ODP would limit residential development on the site to a maximum of 400 units and contain triggers requiring retail development before commercial development could take place.

Je co Planning & Zoning has not responded yet about whether the rezoning request was formally led.

Bandimere Speedway will close this fall at the end of its season, and the owners are looking for a new location for the drag-racing venue. COURTESY PHOTO

Pro ultimate disc team now based in Golden

Colorado Summit plays first home game May 13 at Mines

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Colorado Summit, the state’s semi-professional ultimate disc team, has punched its Golden ticket.

The team, which was founded last year, has found a home in Golden and will play this season’s six home games at Colorado School of Mines’ Marv Kay Stadium.

It kicks off its home season at 6:30 p.m. May 13 against the Seattle Cascades.

“We couldn’t be happier about our permanent move to Golden,” the team recently announced on its Facebook page. “ … It truly is a mountain town that embraces outdoor recreation … That is the definition of the Colorado Summit.”

The lowdown on the Summit

The Colorado Summit was one of three new teams in the American Ultimate Disc League last year. The league, which is starting its 12th season, is comprised of 24 teams across North America, according to the AUDL website.

Teams play seven-on-seven

non-contact ultimate disc, also called ultimate Frisbee. The league is called semi-pro because the

players aren’t paid enough to play full-time, so most have day jobs, but AUDL is the top league in the world.

There are 20-30 players on the Summit’s roster, and coaches rotate them based on strategy and availability.

Among the players is Golden resident Jonathan Nethercutt, the team’s lead handler — which is like a quarterback. Nethercutt, who also works at Powder7 Ski Shop in north Golden, led the AUDL in throwing yards last year and has been named a preseason candidate for 2023 MVP.

The Colorado Summit played at the University of Denver last summer, where it averaged 1,000 fans per game across its six regular season home games. With their support, the team won the 2022 Western Division Championship in its inaugural season.

Overall, games are high-intensity and fast-paced with dramatic dives and jaw-dropping jumps on both offense and defense.

“It’s perfect for highlights in athleticism,” Sal Pace, the Summit’s majority owner, said of ultimate disc. “ … The scoring is quick and frequent with big throws.”

The Colorado Summit went undefeated in its home games last year, and the team hopes to repeat that feat in Golden. Not only that, but the Summit is hoping to build on its regional championship and take the national crown this year, Pace continued.

Making the move

After playing at DU last summer, the team started looking for a new home venue because of seating capacity, price and schedule availability. The team’s owners stated

in an email that, of all the options they explored, they believed Golden was the best.

Along with its proximity to Denver, Pace explained how the owners liked Golden’s unique character, history and atmosphere. The city’s an “epicenter” for outdoor recreation, as Pace described, and the owners believed it’d be a perfect fit for the Summit, which has also embraced Colorado’s great outdoors.

“Golden has its own community identity,” Pace continued, “and we want our team to be a part of that community.”

In February, the Summit hosted a community meeting with Goldenites to talk about its hopes for the 2023 season and impacts from

Colorado to receive $31 million settlement from Juul

Stems for nationwide case

BY OLIVIA PRENTZEL THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado is expected to receive $31.7 million from electronic cigarette manufacturer Juul Labs in a multistate settlement over claims the company used deceptive marketing tactics and promoted products to teens, the state’s attorney general announced April 11.

e lawsuit, led in 2020, claimed Juul was misrepresenting the health risks of their vapes and targeted young people by hiring social media in uencers to promote e-cigarettes and brand ambassadors to give free samples to teens at Colorado convenience stores.

“ is settlement is a victory for the state of Colorado and everyone who fell victim to Juul’s reckless, deceptive, and unconscionable marketing tactics,” Attorney General Phil Weiser said in a statement. “While no amount of money or new restrictions on Juul’s business practices can undo the harms caused by the teen vaping epidemic, this settlement will make great strides toward reducing it and can support young people who are hurting now more than ever.”

Vapes typically contain the same addictive nicotine as other tobacco products.

e settlement funds will be used solely to address tobacco prevention and teen mental health programs, Weiser said in a news conference, despite a news release his o ce sent earlier that said it would be used in part to cover attorneys’ fees.

“ at $31 million is going to be dedicated entirely to supporting young people who have su ered both from a public health and from a mental health perspective,” Weiser said. “ e kids are not OK. Right now they’re su ering. is vaping epidemic is part of that, it has in icted harms that remain and that need to be addressed.”

e attorney general’s o ce will send $167,000 to the National Association of Attorneys General to reimburse them for a grant they provided for investigation and litigation costs, according to the settlement.

Under the settlement agreement, Juul will be prohibited from using those marketing tactics in the future, Weiser said. e company will also be required to hire a compliance o cer and provide the public opportunities to review documentation of their compliance with the agreement.

Most recent state data shows that 16% of Colorado teens reported they had vaped in the past month. When Colorado led the suit, the state had the highest rate of vaping teenagers in the nation at 27%, double the nation average, according to the

Healthy Kids Colorado Survey.

Juul has settled lawsuits with 47 states and territories, paying more than $1 billion, the company said.

“With this settlement, we are nearing total resolution of the company’s historical legal challenges and securing certainty for our future,” a company spokesman said. “Since our companywide reset in the fall of 2019, underage use of JUUL products has declined by 95% based on the National Youth Tobacco Survey.”

Colorado sued Juul with other attorneys general, including from California, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Mexico and New York. e total settlement was $462 million.

Late last year, Juul announced it settled more than 5,000 cases

brought by about 10,000 plainti s in the U.S., sidestepping a substantial amount of legal issues for the company.

“ ese settlements represent a major step toward strengthening Juul Labs’ operations and securing the company’s path forward to ful ll its mission to transition adult smokers away from combustible cigarettes while combating underage use,” the company said in a news release.

‘Rate payer revolt’ demands end to dependence on gas-fired energy

BY ERIC GALATAS PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE

Consumer advocates held a “Rate Payer Revolt” at the Colorado State Capitol to urge lawmakers to address what they see as the root cause of the recent extreme spikes in utility bills: the state’s reliance on natural gas.

Danny Katz, executive director of the Colorado Public Interest Research Group, said at the April protest lawmakers and utilities should take steps to protect ratepayers by tapping new federal funds to speed up the transition to sources such as wind and solar, which are produced locally and are not commodities traded on a global market.

Meet Little Girl!

Little Girl (274017) is a 10-year-old female cat. Little Girl is reserved at the Shelter but can be lured with treats or a feathery wand toy. She will do best in a home that gives her time to settle in. She is recommended for a home without kids or kids aged 10+. Little Girl got along with a dog

“And if we want to make sure that we are not getting ripped o as consumers into the future,” said Katz, “we need to do more to reduce our reliance on gas to heat and power our homes and businesses.”

Xcel Energy has blamed spikes in heating bills on rising wholesale gas prices and market forces beyond its control. It has launched a costadjustment plan to give consumers some relief.

CoPIRG and other groups are urging the Legislature to take steps to lower the state’s dependence on gas - including maximizing e ciency and ending ratepayer subsidies for new gas infrastructure, lobbying and legal expenses.

Xcel and other utilities have added clean-energy capacity, but continue to see natural gas as an important source for meeting peak energy demand and keeping the grid working at night and when the wind isn’t blowing.

Katz said we now have roadmaps and technologies - including increased storage capacity, and regulating peak demand via smart appliances - to wean ourselves o of natural gas.

“Twenty years ago, maybe we didn’t have the technology, and maybe we needed to have a much more diverse portfolio,” said Katz. “But I think we’ve seen the price of renewables have come down, the capacity that we have to put more energy from renewables has gone up.”

more potent at trapping heat in the atmosphere than CO2 and is a major source of climate pollution.

Katz said he believes now is the time for utilities across the state to move away from a fuel source subject to global supply chains and disruptive geo-political events.

“ ere’s a lot of federal infrastruc-

ture money coming in as well,” said Katz. “So there’s never been a better time for utilities to step up and say, ‘OK, we can start to reduce this reliance and move away from gas.’”

Climate change drives need for firefighters

Colorado has acute shortage

Standing atop a parched, grassy knoll in the shadow of Pikes Peak and in front of miles of earth scorched by the Waldo Canyon re more than a decade ago, federal, state and local re experts called for more training and new approaches to ght the “public safety crisis” of wild re in a growing state.

For many, the mile-wide wall of re approaching the ridgeline bordering the Cedar Heights neighborhood in 2012 remains a vivid memory. Embers “the size of boxes” rained from the sky, Colorado Springs Fire Chief Randy Royal remembers. e ames destroyed 347 homes and killed two people, but stopped within feet of homes in Cedar Heights thanks, in part, to the mitigation work by the community.

But the risk of wild re has increased in the past decade, with more homes being built in the area next to undeveloped forest and climate change bringing more intense res to areas that were once not thought to be at risk.

“For years, we’ve viewed this re problem that we have as being more of a natural resource event. And as we’ve watched the forest health deteriorate, as we’ve seen the changes in the weather, and as we watch the growth in to the more rural areas of Colorado and across our country, we have created a public safety crisis,” Mike Morgan, director of Colorado’s Division of Fire Prevention and Control said April 19.

More than 36,000 homes lie in wildre-prone areas where development intermingles with wildland vegetation in Colorado Springs, which ranks as the largest wildland-urban interface in the state. Nationwide, that number has grown to 99 million people, or one-third of the U.S. population living in areas at risk of wild re, yet most have no idea what dangers they face, federal experts say.

“We’re going to have to learn to live with re in our country,” Morgan said. “We just have to learn ways to mitigate or lessen the likelihood or the severity of these events when they occur.”

Morgan joined U.S. Fire Administrator Lori Moore-Merrell and other re experts to discuss the challenges in addressing climate change, droughtdriven wild res that are growing in intensity, size and destructiveness.

In the rst three months of 2023, there have been more than 9,000 wild res across the country, MooreMerrell said. About 800 people have died in residential structure res this year, and last year, there were more than 1.2 million structure res, and 69,000 wild res that burned more than 7.5 million acres, she said.

“ e threat of catastrophic wild re in America’s interface communities demands national attention. at’s why we’re here,” she said. “It demands a uni ed approach. Because our current approaches to wild re mitigation and management do not match the scale of the problem.”

ere’s a need for more training, experts said, explaining that methods used to extinguish structure res are di erent from those used to ght ames along the wildland urban interface.

Most municipal re ghters lack the adequate training and equipment needed to ght res e ciently and safely in the wildland urban interface, said Edward Kelly, president of the International Association of Fire ghters, which represents 335,000 re ghters across the U.S. and Canada.

While most re departments are responsible for ghting res along the wildland urban interface, about 78% of them have unmet training needs, according to the latest U.S. Fire Administration report published earlier this year. Two-thirds of those departments lack su cient wildland personal protective clothing.

e IAFF, in partnership with the U.S. Fire Administration’s National Fire Academy, will host a course to teach re ghters how to attack res that spark near the border of urban and wooded areas.

Colorado’s Department of Public Safety requested $6.5 million to “meet increasing training and certi cation demands statewide and maintain a robust re ghter training and certication program,” according to a November 2022 budget document, but the Joint Budget Committee rejected the request in March.

e JBC rejected the request because the department was already receiving money to support training, some still unspent, and some local jurisdictions were already underway with similar training, said Rep. Shannon Bird, a Westminster Democrat who sits on the powerful panel.

“We were unable to increase, at this point in time, our ability to expand training for re ghters,” Morgan said. “We will be back asking for that. We understand there’s only so much to go around. But this is a problem. We have to invest in our local communi-

ties.”

Colorado’s re ghting corps has failed to keep up with the growing demand to ght wild res. According to the U.S. Fire Administrator’s report, the wildland urban interface contin-

Regis program o ers students with intellectual disabilities college support

BY JASON GONZALES CHALKBEAT

Jen Anderman loves college. She lives on campus at Regis University, is learning about world religions like Buddhism, and took on the persona of Benjamin Franklin once to present in a class.

Anderman, 25, always wanted to follow in her sister’s footsteps, but most colleges don’t offer programs geared toward students with intellectual disabilities who might need more support. Anderman also wanted a program that pushed her academically and allowed her to get the college experience she desired.

In Colorado and nationwide, most colleges don’t offer programs for students with intellectual disabilities, which includes limitations in reasoning, learning, problem solving, or social or practical skills. Those colleges that do have limited spots.

Anderman, who is a person with autism, now is living her dream. Regis University’s Global Inclusive College Certificate program has offered Anderman and four other students at the Denver Jesuit school a full college experience for about two years, plus extra support to earn their certificate. Regis’ program launched in the fall and joined several others across the state that offer support for students with intellectual disabilities.

Anderman’s mom says Jen thrives when she gets to learn with students who learn in a variety of ways. Living on campus, she’s made plenty of friends. Home is just 20 minutes away, which means she didn’t have to go far to continue her education.

The program allows Anderman to take any Regis class, which she likes. She said that so far, she has enjoyed them all.

Regis offers a certificate requiring students to complete from 12 to 30 hours of school work over the course of one or two years. The program focuses on academics, but also teaches social skills, emotional regulation, career development, and independence, according to Jeanine Coleman, the

certificate programs director. The program also offers tutoring, class preparation and other help.

Coleman hopes to add several more students to the program next year, and the school has received support from the GLOBAL Down Syndrome Foundation and the Anna and John J. Sie Foundation.

Recently the school announced it received $365,000 to help provide scholarships. The scholarships are crucial for many families who never thought that their children would find a college that works for their learning style.

“They just didn’t plan for that because they didn’t really think it was an option,” Coleman said.

“There are just not very many opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities beyond high school.”

Statewide, the University of Northern Colorado, University of Colorado Colorado Springs, and Arapahoe Community College offer programs tailored toward students with intellectual disabilities, said Tracy Murphy, Colorado Initiative for Inclusive Higher Edu-cation executive director.

Until 2016, Colorado was one of four states nationwide that didn’t offer specific programs for students with intellectual disabilities, Murphy said. Lawmakers that year passed a law establishing specific programs for students at colleges, and last year approved grants to support new or existing programs at higher education institutions.

Creating a more inclusive environment is good for students with and without intellectual disabilities, Murphy said.

Students at established programs have rushed fraternities and participated in student government, she said. They’re helping create acceptance and enabled others to see the value students with disabilities can bring to a school campus and jobs, she said.

“College students benefit from seeing that capability,” she said.

For Jordan Stewart, 18, the Regis program has boosted his confidence, his mother Cassy Stewart said. While Colorado offers high school for students with intellectual disabilities until they are 21, Jordan wanted most to graduate with his class and get a diploma with them, she said.

Regis helped Jordan thrive in a college setting. Previously, his mother had worried about his future because so few college programs work with his learning style.

Jordan Stewart has loved being a part of the school community. He enjoys the classes more than those in high school, and making friends is his favorite part of the experience.

“College makes me feel great,” he said, “and included.”

Bill vows to fully fund state’s K-12 within two years

Constutional requirement has not been met

BY ERICA MELTZER CHALKBEAT COLORADO

is might be the last year that Colorado lawmakers hold back money from K-12 schools to fund other budget priorities.

Legislators have toyed with the idea of fully funding Colorado schools several times in recent years, but always held back amid economic uncertainty. While Colorado’s constitution requires school funding to go up each year by the rate of population and in ation, lawmakers haven’t met that requirement since the start of the Great Recession.

Since 2009, Colorado has withheld more than $10 billion from its schools.

Now the school nance act that passed unanimously out of the Senate Education Committee on April 19 includes a provision that would require the state to fully fund K-12 schools starting in the 2024-25 budget year.

e bill also contains a provision to fund state-authorized charter schools at a level similar to other schools starting in 2024-5. Districtauthorized charter schools get a cut of locally raised tax dollars. Stateauthorized charter schools do not.

Senate Minority Leader Paul Lundeen, a Monument Republican and bill sponsor, called these provisions the “within-striking-distance amendments.” Lawmakers could still abandon these promises next year — particularly if economic conditions change —but moving to write them into law is a signi cant step.

e school nance act also will include even more money for 202324 than originally proposed after an impassioned appeal from Weld County Republican state Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer.

“It’s time for the state Senate and this General Assembly to let the governor and the rest of the state know, no more B.S., no more balancing the budget on the backs of students,” she said. “We’re going to set a priority, and it’s called education.”

Kirkmeyer, who serves on the Joint Budget Committee, pointed out that the state education fund has nearly $1.3 billion, and that Democrats have funded a host of new programs since they took control of the legislature in 2018.

“We pay for people’s bus passes, we pay for people’s utility bills, we pay for people’s rent, we pay for hygiene products, we pay for business

licenses, we pay for health insurance,” she said. “We darn well ought to pay for education and put our children rst.”

e money to fully fund K-12 education would come from a mix of savings in the state education fund and new revenue. Colorado has so much money in the state education fund because lawmakers slashed school funding in 2020 in anticipation of a COVID-related recession that never materialized. When revenues came in above projections, lawmakers socked much of the money away.

State Sen. Janice Marchman, a Loveland Democrat and teacher, found Kirkmeyer’s argument persuasive. She pointed to widespread teacher shortages, salaries that haven’t kept pace with in ation, students still recovering from learning disruptions, unmet mental health needs in schools, and safety fears. Meanwhile, federal pandemic funding will expire in 2024.

“ ere is no reason for our state to have a rainy day fund if we don’t recognize that we’re in a rainy day,” she said.

e additional money means the withholding for 2023-24 —known as the budget stabilization factor — would be just $141 million or 1.5% out of a more than $9 billion K-12 budget.

A decade ago, lawmakers withheld 18% of the money that should have gone to schools.

State Sen. Rhonda Fields, an Aurora Democrat, recalled that early in her legislative service, funding was so limited schools were talking about charging students to ride the bus. e prospect of eliminating the

budget stabilization factor feels like entering a nal frontier.

“I’m looking at Star Trek,” she said. “We can go to places we’ve never gone before. We can meet new people. We can fund our schools.”

At the same time, she said state government has a lot of responsibilities beyond education.

Joint Budget Committee Chair Rachel Zenzinger, an Arvada Democrat and bill sponsor, cautioned lawmakers that education funding commitments will continue to rise and that covering costs next year

could require drawing as much as $415 million from the state education fund.

Analysts warn of a looming structural de cit, when growth in state spending, including on mandatory programs, will run up against caps imposed by the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights or against a recession.

Colorado is also in the process of developing a new way to measure student poverty and may change how it distributes money among schools, changes that may require more funding to avoid hurting some districts.

Meanwhile, funding Charter School Institute schools similarly to other schools is expected to cost more than $42 million. Lundeen said it’s an issue of fundamental fairness. State-authorized charter school students include new immigrants, pregnant and parenting teens, and other students who need signi cant support, yet these schools have had less money per-pupil.

But unlike the local revenue that districts share with their charters, there’s no dedicated funding source for state-authorized charters. e school nance act still needs to pass the full Senate and the House and could see yet more changes. It’s the only bill other than the budget that lawmakers must pass before they adjourn May 8.

Gorillas and other zoo animals enjoy eating local

Horticulturalists tend the Denver Zoo’s kitchen garden

BY KIRSTEN DAHL COLLINS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Kal, a 380-pound African gorilla at the Denver Zoo, grasped his oppy banana leaf the way some people hold a cone of caramel swirl ice cream. Slowly and deliberately, he savored every bite.

Over at the zoo’s Tropical Discovery building, Rex, a rhinoceros iguana native to the Caribbean, munched his way through a special breed of spineless prickly pear cactus. Nearby, a shy, 40-pound capybara named Rebecca — a rodent native to Central and South America — couldn’t resist a fresh pile of water lettuce.

It was snack time at the Denver Zoo, courtesy of Production Manager Patrick Crowell and his two staers, Marcelle Condevaux and Keith Goode. Smiling, the three horticulturalists watched the animals polish o their greens. Crowell and his sta had grown these tropical plants in several designated City Park greenhouses, which serve as kitchen gardens for many of the zoo’s 3,000 animals. Whether it’s cardamom and ginger leaves, banana trees or hibiscus owers, the greenhouse sta enables zoo animals to eat local — even if they crave ora from across the globe. e gardeners also grow landscaping plants for animal enclosures, from tall stands of euphorbia cactus to sweet gum trees.

“We’re trying to grow as much as we can locally,” Crowell said, adding that “growing exotics can take quite a bit of research.”

e greenhouse specialties are grown without pesticides, using recycled water. All of this saves money the zoo would otherwise spend importing tropical plants from Florida.

One greenhouse holds a grove of banana trees, which are especially useful, since every part of the plant can be used. Crowell said the fruit is fed to fruit bats while the oppy

leaves are popular snacks for many animals, including sloths and smaller reptiles — as well as great apes. Elephants and rhinos chew the banana stalks, which increases their ber intake and acts as a natural toothbrush.

e production sta works closely with the zoo’s battery of veterinarians and nutritionists. Animal diets have come a long way since 1896 when the Denver Zoo began with a single caged bear cub, named Billy Bryan, in City Park. Although history does not record what Billy ate,

it would probably make today’s zoo nutritionists shudder. ese days, animal diets are strictly controlled in order to keep them healthy. Often, that means adding the right vegetation.

“We get calls if an animal is ill,” Crowell said.

Many of the plants in the zoo greenhouses have medicinal qualities. Crowell said that leaves from the ginger and cardamon plants help prevent heart problems in great apes. Colorful blue, green and yellow lorikeets — a small parrot from Australia — keep their feathers healthy by pecking at hibiscus owers. According to Crowell, the pollen and nectar of these owers supply the birds with important amino acids.

Some plants are equally important to animals’ mental health. e Denver Zoo earned its accreditation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums by taking animal wellbeing seriously — and that requires plenty of the branches, twigs and leaves known as browse. Cuttings from a range of trees and shrubs, including willow, mulberry, and butter y bush, are important not just for nutrition but also to encourage natural activities like foraging. For example, Crowell said, Tundra, the female grizzly bear, enjoys stripping and eating the leaves o hackberry branches while the zoo’s Mongolian horses prefer to chew bark o cottonwood logs. Elephants and primates like to exercise their teeth on bamboo stalks.

Several passive solar greenhouses

known as hoop houses help extend the growing season for browse. And whenever it’s time to prune trees and bushes in City Park, Crowell and his team are there, collecting boughs, twigs and leaves.

Crowell also roams the zoo’s 80 acres, searching for under-utilized patches of dirt where he and his sta can grow additional browse in the summer months. Last year, they supplied more than 1,300 pounds of leafy trimmings to zoo denizens.

When the zoo’s urban farmers aren’t running loads of produce over to hungry zebras and gira es, they are searching for more ways to maximize every square foot of growing space. Even the rafters of the Tropical Discovery building are being put to use, with a hydroponic growing table that nourishes crops of collard greens. According to Crowell, many animals love nutrient-dense greens like collard and dandelion. Perhaps we humans

should take a few dining cues from the zoo.

Zoo Production Specialist Marcelle Condevaux harvests hibiscus flowers, a favorite treat for many animals including monkeys, orangutans, lorikeets and sloths. Condevaux enjoys life among the plants at the City Park greenhouses. “I like eating my lunches here,” she said. “It’s like a tropical paradise.”

Having thalassophobia — fear of deep water — as an integral part of my psyche, “ e Boys in the Boat” is not a book I ordinarily would’ve read. But after a couple of literary-minded friends highly recommended it, I decided to give it a try. I’m thrilled I did because the story is far more than a historical account of the University of Washington’s eight-oar rowing crew’s quest for gold in the 1936 Olympics. It is a tale of grit and determination of workingclass young men who struggled and experienced most challenging times throughout their lives but refused to be fated by their circumstances. It’s also a deep dive into the complexity of and philosophy behind the sport, which leads to the most telling aspect for me: It’s an allegory for reaching mental and emotional ow, the point at which all seems to be in perfect harmony, all resistance vanishes, and you feel completely whole and perhaps moving on an ethereal plane.

After reading the prologue and rst chapter, in which the author, Daniel James Brown, paints the background — Seattle during the Great Depression replete with Hoovervilles — and introduces Joe Rantz, the heart of the crew, I knew how much of my waking moments over the next week would be spent.

Four years into the Great Depression, conditions remained bleak for many Americans, 25% of whom were

e tolls taken on the people weren’t only economic, they were also personal and psychological. Millions were reduced to survival mode. For the downtrodden, how one looked or what they wore was irrelevant. But shabby dress accompanied with an unkempt appearance was a badge of shame and source of ridicule for young men like Joe, who through their nevergive-up approach to life, managed to matriculate in a college or university. And that is where we meet Joe as he ambles across the University of Washington campus wearing a rumpled, hand-me-down sweater on his way to try out for what many considered to be an elitist sport in which he had no skill. Making the team wasn’t for Joe an athletic feat to boast about. Failure would’ve meant having to abandon school. And the alternative was not palatable.

Rowing in absolute tandem with precise strokes at the exact moment is an art unequaled in sports. As I read, I searched my mind for equivalent competitions or situations. I thought of the “runner’s high” I got, the point where long-distance runners feel like they could run forever not only despite the pain but by embracing it. I re ected on the scene of Paul Maclean, played by Brad Pitt, in “A River Runs rough It,” perfecting the art of y shing. I considered successful sports teams’ need for players to eschew egos given there’s no I in sport. And I pictured the exquisitely graceful synergism of couples ice dancing. But each of them failed to equate to the absolute harmony and perfection of rowing, the moment when a crew achieves swing where they glide their craft across the water seemingly without e ort.

In rowing, one discordant note is called “catching a crab.” When that happens, everything gets thrown o , and the team essentially starts anew as they watch their competitors race farther ahead.

short of perfection — swing — would get them the gold.

e psychology behind that physical harmony is complex. It requires the rower to completely repress their ego while at the same time remaining true to their individualism in context of their abilities. It’s a form of what in philosophy is called “conjunction of opposites,” when two opposing truths are equally valid. For me, that is what drove the story home.

Yes, the decidedly non-economic rags-to-riches tale is one for the ages. And Joe’s and his fellow rowers’ inspirational life stories tug at the heartstrings. But it was becoming educated about the intricacies not only of eightoar rowing but also of swing, and how extraordinarily rare it is reached, that for me put “ e Boys in the Boat” in the rare ed air of numinous storytelling.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Public education

Kudos to the students and adults who strongly advocated for gun safety action recently at the Colorado Capital. is is one major takeaway I have from witnessing their resolve.

Our public schools are teaching responsible citizenship, fostering strong values and principles, shaping moral lives and building quality characters. We should all be proud of the teachers, students and parents of Denver East Highschool, as well as the many other high schools, middle schools and grade schools in Denver who faced o with legislators.

As an educator for many years in the public sector, their activism reinforced

the importance of quality public education.

As a teacher and administrator for many years in private schools, the activism of these public-school participants con rms my belief that private schools do not have a corner on producing principled, value-minded and moral individuals.

I agree with omas Je erson, “An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people.” He believed that public education is necessary “for the di usion of knowledge … (and that) no other sure foundation can be devised for the preservation of freedom and happiness.”

SeriesFest returns for a blockbuster Season 9

After a bit of a pandemic slowdown, SeriesFest, which celebrates emerging and underserved voices in episodic storytelling, is back bigger and better than ever, over owing with top-notch television viewing for all audiences.

“We’re excited to engage with everybody in the community about all the great stories being told,” said Randi Kleiner, co-founder and CEO of the Denver-based non-pro t. “We’re looking forward to people getting together to be part of great conversations about all the exciting things happening in the industry.”

Running from May 5 through May 10, SeriesFest Season 9 features a wide range of in-competition pilot screenings, panels, workshops and premieres from big studios, including Net ix, Amazon Freevee and Universal Television.

In addition to an array of episode showings, the lineup includes fascinating panels like, “Actors with Disabilities Making eir Mark in Hollywood: What More Needs to be Done,” “ e Art of Adaptation: Beyond the Book” and “Turning Podcasts into Television’s Next Big Hit with Orbit Media.”

As usual, the event wraps up at Red Rocks with a night of special performances — this year the evening features headliner Chelsea Handler and guests Jay Pharoah and Adam Ray. ere will also be a screening of Fox’s “Animal Control,” with star Joel McHale on hand to discuss the show and perform a stand-up set.

Whether audiences attend one of the special events or just catch a screening, they’re in for a television viewing experience that most don’t have — one that features the episodes shown on the big screen and the chance to connect with others.

“So much is happening in the industry right now and that’s what is so exciting,” Kleiner said. “You really have the opportunity to see the shows you love, meet the creators and learn

something you didn’t know.”

With so many great options, here are two SeriesFest events audiences shouldn’t miss.

‘Grown’ screening —

Many viewers know Jocko Sims from his roles on shows like “ e Last Ship” and “New Amsterdam.” But for “Grown,” Sims explored the power of storytelling in a di erent way — as executive producer, writer and director.

“I’ve been a creator for pretty much all of my life… and this was something I’ve always wanted to do but didn’t have the time,” he said. “But I took the time and made it a priority and it has been such a ride ever since.”

“Grown” will be screened as part of the Independent Pilot Competition: Comedy Block 1 at the Sie FilmCenter, 2510 E. Colfax Ave. in Denver, at 6:15 p.m. May 17, and will also be shown to local high school students as part of High School Day.

e pilot, which won SXSW’s TV pilot competition, is about 14-year-old Rogelio (Josiah Gabriel), who recently lost his father and is struggling with what it means to be an adult. He and his friends Larry (Tristan-Lee Edwards) and Chaz (Giovanni Cristo ) decide to sneak into a strip club, leading to a reckoning about who Rogelio thinks he is and who he wants to be.

“Grown’s” participation in the festival is a sort of homecoming for Sims — “New Amsterdam” made its premiere at SeriesFest back in 2018. He’s eager to be back to share a story that means a great deal to him and hopes it connects with viewers, particularly students.

“I’d love for the youth to be inspired in whatever way they can,” Sims said.

“When they see these kids making decisions, both good and bad, perhaps they can learn from that and apply it to their lives.”

‘Primo’ world premiere screening — May 8

For Shea Serrano, a New York Times best-selling author and culture critic, working as creator, executive producer and a writer on “Primo” was a daily reminder of how much creative potential is unlocked when people work together.

“All of these incredibly talented people spent a lot of time working on it and I’m thankful and proud every time I sit down to watch it,” he said. “I watch the show and I see everybody’s ngerprints all over it.”

Amazon will unveil the rst season of “Primo” on May 19, but its worldpremiere screening will be at 8:15 p.m. on Monday, May 8, at the Sie FilmCenter. Serrano and actors Ignacio Diaz-Silverio and Christina Vidal will all be on hand for a discussion afterwards hosted by Diaspora’s Dino Ray-Ramos.

e show, which is executive produced by Michael Schur (“Parks and Recreation”and “ e Good Place”), is based on some of Serrano’s own ex-

periences growing up in San Antonio. It follows 16-year-old Rafa Gonzales (Diaz-Silverio) as he comes of age with the help of his mother, Drea (Vidal), and ve uncles.

Since “Primo” has its roots in such personal experiences, Serrano was able to ll the show with speci c references and jokes his family and friends will recognize — everything from costume choices to a shout out to a favorite A Tribe Called Quest song.  Some shows become like a warm blanket — something viewers can turn on when they need to feel better about being alive, and that was the goal for “Primo.”

“ at’s my ultimate dream for the show — that ‘Primo’ becomes a part of somebody’s lineup in that situation,” Serrano said. “You are unwinding at the end of the day and you watch an episode or two and see what the Gonzales family is getting up to in San Antonio.”

Why cook with wild food?

“I think one of the biggest challenges with edible wild plants is that people don’t always know how to prepare them,” she said. “We all know how to cook spinach, we all know how to make broccoli — but we don’t all know how to cook tumble mustard so that it tastes good. So in my classes, I like to give students that experience of preparing an edible wild plant — or three — in a way that I think they are going to Davis’ classes begin with an hourlong plant walk where students learn the names of plants and safety and sustainability guidelines for foraging. Afterward, she teaches them how to prepare several of the plants they have for-

“People sometimes picture foraging as going out into the forest and picking plants

— and that’s part of it — but I would really encourage people to learn the weeds and make use of them,” she said. “A lot of them are non-native species, so there really aren’t as many ecological considerations with picking them.”

Davis teaches her students to make dandelion green soup from a recipe passed down by an Italian relative. Musk mustard is great in salads, and tumble mustard and field pennycress are fun to ferment, she said.

Beyond the creative and flavorful uses of foraged foods, research from 2019 suggests that wild edible greens harvested in urban areas can be abundant and highly nutritious. The study dubbed wild edible plants “open-source food.”

“This idea that open-source food is out there for anybody to eat and make use of — and then furthermore, it’s organic, it’s free, it’s fresh — I just think that’s a great concept,” Davis said.

Safety precautions

Despite their affordability and freshness, wild plants are not all safe to eat. Crystal Baldwin, who teaches wild plant-based classes at her Golden business, Earth Sweet Boutique, said it’s always important to triple-check plants before you eat them.

“I don’t like to frighten people away from… foraged foods because there’s a lot of very safe ones,” Baldwin said. “But I like them to be aware that there are dangerous, poisonous ones that will kill you, and so it’s important to kind of have an idea of what those might be and what to look out for.”

Baldwin encourages those interested in foraging to start by taking classes, working with local experts and reading about which plants are safe to eat.

She also said it’s important to check if plants are near old buildings that could be contributing lead to soil or if plants have been sprayed with pesticides.

WEEDS

‘Part of human history’

In addition to cooking, Baldwin said wild foods can be used to make skincare products, tinctures, infused honey, medicines and more.

“There’s many different things you can do with foraged foods, and the great thing about it is that we have tons of free, wonderful, wild foods here in Colorado,” she said.

Some of Baldwin’s favorite plants to forage are pine and conifer needles, which are high in vitamin C. She uses the needles to make a simple syrup that she drinks with seltzer water and fresh lemon.

“It’s extremely refreshing and has a lot of minerals, so it’s very hydrating in the summertime when it’s hot,” she said.

When foraging, it’s important to do so in a way that does not damage plants or plant populations, Baldwin said. When gathering pine needles, for example, she takes about an inch or two from each branch and moves around to different branches so as to not damage the plant.

Davis agreed that sustainability is an important part of foraging process, and it’s something foragers need to be mindful of in order to do correctly.

“Sometimes people think ‘Foraging must be bad for the environment because you’re picking the plants!’ But I think the actual truth is much more nuanced than that,” she said. “Foraging is part of human history, I mean, we have been foraging since time immemorial, and we can do it in ways that don’t harm the plant populations if we’re mindful.”

Beyond freshness and accessibility, Davis said foraging offers health benefits and a range of flavors that are not available in grocery stores.

And perhaps best of all, wild food offers a way to get close to nature.

“For me, also, they o er a connection to nature,” Davis said. “ ey invite time spent outdoors, getting to know plants, working with my hands.”

Requirements dramatically pared back in governor’s “land-use” bill

BY JESSE PAUL AND ELLIOTT WENZLER THE COLORADO SUN

Gov. Jared Polis and Democrats in the Colorado legislature signi cantly pared back their major land-use bill amid big questions about whether their signature a ordable housing initiative at the Capitol this year can get enough support to pass.

Colorado’s largest cities would no longer be required to let multifamily housing with up to six units be built in all residentially zoned areas under a major amendment made to Senate Bill 213. Instead, those cities — like Denver, Aurora, Boulder, Englewood, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Lakewood, Pueblo, ornton and Westminster — would only have to let duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes be built in 30% of their land area currently zoned for singlefamily homes, concentrated around train and high-frequency bus corridors where applicable.

e change, which came in midApril, shifts the legislation away from attempting to broadly increase housing density to a more limited approach linked to transit. Without the changes, it appeared the bill, which has received major opposition from cities and towns across the state, would lack enough support to clear its rst committee.

In all, there were 17 amendments made to the bill, totaling dozens of pages. One of the major changes reduces land-use requirements on resort communities, like Aspen and Vail.

e Senate Local Government and Housing Committee approved the overhauled measure on a 4-3 vote, with all of the Democrats on the panel voting “yes” and all of the Republicans voting “no.” It was unclear whether the measure would have enough votes to advance and the committee hearing was delayed for hours while amendments were nalized and negotiated.

Senate Majority Leader Dominick Moreno, a Commerce City Democrat and prime sponsor of the bill, warned that more changes were needed. “By no means does the work stop here,” he said.

Heading into a committee hearing, Sen. Dylan Roberts, an Avon Democrat, appeared to be the swing vote on the committee. He cast a reluctant “yes” vote. “I still have concerns with where the bill is,” he said, adding that there will be “a lot more to do” to get him to back the bill once it is debated on the Senate oor.

But two other Democrats on the committee — Sens. Julie Gonzales of

Denver and Tony Exum of Colorado Springs — also expressed anxiety about the measure before voting to advance the legislation. e pair said more changes were needed.

“You will see more amendments coming,” Gonzales said.

An e ort by Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer, a Brighton Republican on the committee to erase the measure and replace it with an alternative policy with no policy preemptions for local governments was rejected. “Senate bill 213, as it stands right now, … is never going to get us to a ordable housing,” she said. “All it’s going to do is preempt local governments.” e bill now heads to the Senate Appropriations Committee for approval before it can advance to the full Senate.

Under amendments, cities and towns would have to allow duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes to be built in a half-mile radius around rail stations and a quarter-mile around corridors with bus-rapid-transit or where a bus stops every 15 minutes.

If a municipality doesn’t want to allow building of two, three or four units next to certain transit stops they could opt to zone for that kind of housing in a di erent part of

their city or town proportional to the area around a transit stop that would have been a ected. In doing so, however, the municipality would have to take steps to prevent people living in those areas from being displaced and would be encouraged to focus the zoning around walkable areas.

At a minimum, Colorado’s largest cities would have to allow duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes in 30% of the areas that are currently zoned for single-family homes. e requirement would also apply to large cities that don’t have train stops or bus rapid transit and bus routes with 15-minute frequencies, though they would be encouraged to prioritize their placement of denser residential zoned areas near transit.

Additionally, the amendments remove a provision preventing cities from mandating that new duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes around train stations and along bus routes with a lot of frequency be accompanied by parking. Instead, the change allows municipalities to require that a half a parking spot be built alongside each new housing unit.

e cities that would be subject to the requirements include: Arvada,

Aurora, Boulder, Brighton, Broomeld, Castle Pines, Castle Rock, Centennial, Cherry Hills Village, Columbine Valley, Commerce City, Denver, Edgewater, Englewood, Erie, Federal Heights, Glendale, Golden, Greenwood Village, Lafayette, Lakewood, Littleton, Lochbuie, Lone Tree, Longmont, Louisville, Northglenn, Parker, Sheridan, Superior, ornton, Westminster and Wheat Ridge.

Outside of the Denver metro area, Greeley, Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, Colorado Springs, Fountain, Grand Junction and Pueblo would also fall under the mandates. e amendments would also require that cities with bus rapid transit zone for an average housing density of 25 units an acre in at least 25% of the housing-eligible land without a half-mile of stops. e requirement would be the same for within a quarter-mile of corridors with frequent bus routes. Cities with trains would have to zone for an average housing density of 40 units per acre in 50% of the housing-eligible land within a halfmile of stations.

The Gallingers built their 550-square-foot garage ADU to host friends and family during visits. Through an error in construction, the garage ended up being too tall, leading the couple to seek an individual zoning variance for the unit. COURTESY OF THE COLORADO SUN

BILL

Another amendment signi cantly changes the zoning shifts that would have been required of so-called rural resort job centers, including the Eagle River Valley near Vail and Roaring Fork Valley near Aspen.

Rural resort job centers are dened as municipalities that have a population of at least 1,000 and at least 1,200 jobs and are outside of a metropolitan planning organization, like the Denver Regional Council of Governments or the North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization. ey also have regional transit service with at least 20 trips per day. e legislation’s rural resort centers include: Avon, Breckenridge, Crested Butte, Dillon, Durango, Frisco, Glenwood Springs, Mountain Village, Silverthorne, Snowmass Village, Steamboat Springs, Telluride and Winter Park.

As originally written, the measure would have required adjacent towns in rural resort communities to work together to determine where to increase housing density and to identify bus corridors and work to

hosting the games. More than 150 people attended the virtual meeting, with most if not all supporting the Summit’s move to Golden.

Afterward, Pace said he went door-to-door around the stadium to meet the neighbors, who were generally positive.

The team met with Mines, the City of Golden and the Chamber of Commerce multiple times, and has assembled plans to mitigate noise, traffic and other impacts.

Finally, the team signed an agreement with Mines to play at Marv Kay Stadium this season. Summit’s agreement is year-toyear for now, which Pace said is typical, but he hoped Golden will become the team’s forever home.

What to expect this summer

increase residential and commercial development surrounding those corridors.

Under the amendments, rural resort communities would be required to choose at least ve options from a menu of 10 to 15 a ordability strategies included in the bill. Most of the resort communities already employ many of the listed strategies.

One of those options is letting property owners build accessorydwelling units, also known as ADUs or “granny ats.” Other strategies on the menu include restrictions on short-term rentals, like those listed on Airbnb or Vrbo, deed restrictions, expediting building permit review, and establishing a local revenue source to develop a ordable housing. One strategy would be for municipalities to waive permitting, infrastructure and utility fees for building a ordable housing developments.

“I think they sort of missed the boat in this rst draft and what should apply to us and what would work best for us,” said Eric Mamula, the mayor of Breckenridge and owner of Downstairs at Eric’s restaurant.

Mamula said his community’s top concerns with the introduced version of the legislation involved a

lack of a ordability restrictions on new construction and no requirements that buyers and residents of new housing be part of the local workforce. ey also worried about the absence of permanence for a ordability and other regulations involving the newly mandated housing.

Last month Mamula said resort communities would be working with lawmakers and the governor to “make sure we are getting the point across that we need some protections for our smaller ski town communities.”

“I feel like we are being heard,” he said.

e original version of the bill would have required rural resort centers to allow ADUs. Under the amended version, only municipalities in the rest of the state would be prevented from restricting them.

Right now, ADUs may be built in many towns and cities only in certain zoning areas and the size of the units is governed by lot size. e bill would prohibit cities from requiring that new parking accompany any ADUs that are built.

One amendment adopted at the behest of Sen. Sonya Jaquez Lewis,

unincorporated parts of counties to the list of places where ADUs can’t be prohibited.

Another change to the bill would allow municipalities to notify the state of their need for an extension or exemption from the requirements based on shortfalls in their water supply or infrastructure.

Unchanged in the bill are a preemption on occupancy restrictions based on whether people living in a home are family members, as well as efforts to streamline manufactured housing. Still pending in the legislature is a measure that would ban municipalities from imposing growth caps while also repealing caps that have already been adopted in cities like Golden and Boulder.

The team’s still finalizing details, but Pace hoped to offer Goldenites free tickets to either the Summit’s May 13 or May 20 home games. Games have a family-friendly

atmosphere, with face-painting, games, on-field activities between quarters, and a “base camp” set up by the Summit’s sponsors and partners.

The Colorado Summit’s house band, Brothers of Brass, plays in the stands before every game, and then a different musical artist performs “Rocky Mountain High” before each game.

“You don’t need to be a fan of ultimate Frisbee to come and have a good time,” Pace continued. “ … We put a heavy emphasis on creating an entire experience.”

Fans will be directed to park on the Mines campus, not in the surrounding residential areas. With school out for the summer, the team owners believe the on-campus parking will meet the demand

for the games.

After each game, to discourage fans lingering around the stadium, Pace said the team will host an all-ages after-party at local establishments.

The Colorado Summit has already partnered with several local businesses and nonprofits, and is looking to become an active member of the Golden community by participating in activities beyond ultimate disc games.

“We’re going to embrace the community,” Pace said. “And if we do everything as we plan, the community will embrace this team as well.”

Colorado o ers Zearn digital math learning

showed students who used Zearn regularly made substantially more progress than those who didn’t.

BY ERICA MELTZER CHALKBEAT

Colorado is making the digital learning program Zearn Math available for free to schools statewide as part of a broader e ort to address gaps in math learning that widened during the pandemic.

Gov. Jared Polis has set aside up to $6 million in pandemic relief money to pay for licenses for the digital program and to pay for printed materials for schools that adopt Zearn’s math curriculum Training also will be available to teachers in how to use the new platform.

Math scores on state and national standardized tests declined during the pandemic, with sharper drops in math than in reading and writing. Both educators and policymakers are focused on how to help students gain skills they missed out on during three disrupted years.

Last month, Polis and lawmakers unveiled a bipartisan $25 million proposal to o er widespread afterschool tutoring in math, expand teacher training, and encourage districts to adopt high-quality curriculum. In addition, the initiative included plans for the state to pay for licenses for a digital math accel-

erator and make them available at no cost to schools statewide.

Polis announced this week that Colorado has selected Zearn Math as the state’s online math program. e state did not request proposals, instead choosing Zearn based on studies and reviews and purchasing it from a software reseller at a set price.

“We are taking an all-hands-ondeck approach to boost student math achievement and make sure

Colorado kids have the support and practice they need to excel in math,” Polis said in a press release. “ is new access saves school districts and families money and is part of our ongoing work to provide highquality education for every Colorado student.”

Polis spokeswoman Melissa Dworkin said the governor’s team considered several programs and chose Zearn Math based on studies provided by the company that

Educators who study math instruction and ways students learn through gaming and online platforms said Zearn has positive elements but cautioned that teachers need training and time to learn how to use it well. It shouldn’t be used as a substitute for in-person instruction by well-trained teachers, they said, and teachers need to make sure students are engaged and supported in their learning.

Started by New York teachers and backed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the program is used widely in states like Tennessee and Texas. Many New York City schools also use Zearn Math. e program is intended to be used in conjunction with in-person, whole class instruction. ( e Gates Foundation is a funder of Chalkbeat.)

Mary Pittman, president of the Colorado Council of Teachers of Mathematics, said she feels “hopeful excitement” about the plan.

“It is new for Colorado to have access to a program like this across the board,” she said.

She described the platform as offering exible, high-quality materials built around Common Core State Standards, which are the basis for Colorado’s academic standards. She said Zearn was originally used most often for intervention with students

Amid risk of living on wildfire-prone grasslands, Boulder County’s search for solutions

BY TIM DRUGAN BOULDER REPORTING LAB

e Marshall Fire exposed the need to reduce wild re risk on the grasslands of Boulder County. But there’s a problem: Even the best reprevention techniques on the plains don’t work as well as they do in the mountains.

“Grasslands are much di erent than forests,” said Katharine Suding, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Colorado Boulder, who is advising a Boulder County grasslands working group established to help prevent another Marshall Fire.

On the plains, Suding said, a re can burn all plants in its path only to have intact roots grow back stalks within months. Trees take longer to return. If a re thins a forest — through a wild re or a prescribed burn — that forest enjoys at least a few years of reduced risk. Grasslands don’t.

“We might get a year of protection after a prescribed re” on the plains, said Stefan Reinold, a resource manager for county Parks and Open Space. Reinold is also a member of the grasslands working group, along with scientists, land managers, ditch company mangers and re protection district members. e group is a subset of the Boulder County Fireshed that is made up of a similar cohort of local scientists and land managers working to reduce re risk.

A former forester for the county, Reinold said prescribed burns are di cult to implement in the mountains — and even harder on the plains. Much of the county’s open space on the plains is leased agricultural land. Farmers who might be open to their grasslands being scorched intermittently probably don’t want them burned every year, which is what it would take to be e ective.

Still, the public, especially those recovering in the Marshall Fire burn scar of Superior and Louisville, want something done.

“ ere’s a lot of pressure, of course, to come up with solutions,” Reinold said, and he is sympathetic. “But one

of our biggest concerns is there is no clear solution with grasslands. If there were, we would be all about it. We’d be out there trying to decrease re hazard in every aspect we could.”

Reinold said since the Marshall Fire, the county has been criticized by residents for mismanaging its grasslands. One of the suggestions residents often make is increased grazing. But much of the area burned by the Marshall Fire had been grazed — multiple times — in the year leading up to the re.

“We grazed three times,” Reinold said. “Which is getting to the level of overgrazing in some areas that abut Louisville.”

Mowing is another recommendation he often hears. ough it cuts some re fuel, mowing leaves vegetation on the ground where it can still carry re. And the amount of mowing required is untenable. Reinold said Boulder County has 343 miles of agricultural property lines. Should Parks and Open Space put a 100-foot bu er along property lines to protect vulnerable neighbor-

hoods, it would equal almost 4,000 acres they’d have to mow — “and often” — because the grass keeps growing.

Reinold raised the possibility of planting low-growing vegetation where prairie and neighborhoods meet, the idea being such vegetation wouldn’t burn with the ferocity of dried-out grass.

“ ere’s no data saying that would work,” Reinold said. “But we could try.”

But weather conditions that fueled the Marshall Fire might have overcome even perfect grasslands management. Eighty mile-per-hour winds came after a fall that saw almost no moisture.

“Anytime a re has gotten established with winds less than 30 miles per hour, we’ve gotten control of it,” Reinold said. “But nothing has proven able to stop a re backed by 80 mile-per-hour winds.”

Suding agreed, saying the risk of catastrophic res will increase as fall in Boulder gets drier with worsening climate change. “ ere are actually many grassland res each year in this area,” she said. “But most occur when the plants are green and weather conditions are not super windy, so they get put out before they get big.

“In wind events like what occurred during the Marshall Fire, it would be hard to imagine that any active management of grasslands could reduce the risk.”

Suding said a better bet might be investing in active patrols to spot ignitions on high-risk days and safeguarding homes.

Such safeguarding, also known as home-hardening, is the specialty of the Wild re Partners Program that has mainly worked with homeowners to reduce their re risk in unincorporated western Boulder County. Using money from the 1A sales tax that passed last year, Wild re Partners is expanding into eastern

Boulder County, helping residents understand the re risks certain choices might pose to their homes — like wooden fences, shrubbery up against siding, and vegetation prone to violent incineration, like junipers. Reinold said home-hardening, coupled with experimental techniques like targeted grazing is our best bet at avoiding another Marshall Fire. Targeted grazing puts cows on highrisk areas, like borders of prairie and neighborhoods, to munch down fuel before the fall shoulder re season. Suding added that creating better models for grassland re risk — an historically underrepresented research area when compared to forest wild res — should be a top priority.

“We need to know more before making quick decisions,” she said, explaining that hasty actions to reduce re risk might not only fail to do so, but could also harm the landscape. “If we only think about reducing grassland fuels and do it by mowing or other treatments, that might really damage soil health and biodiversity. We don’t want that, particularly since grasses regrow within a few weeks after a treatment.” at’s one of the goals of the working group.

In early June, members said they hope to put out a document to show residents what is already being done to address re risk on grasslands, and what practices should be adopted moving forward.

e main takeaways of their work will likely be a combination approach: some grazing, some prescribed burns, and some investment from the public in protecting their properties as best they can.

“ ere’s no silver bullet,” Reinold said. “If there was clear information of what to do, people would have done it already.”

David Webb, an associate professor of math education at the University of Colorado Boulder who also heads a research consortium on math instruction, said Zearn seems to have good content and be based on solid ideas around math instruction. He worries, though, about relying too much on digital platforms, when it was the lack of interaction with teachers and peers that contributed to learning gaps during online and hybrid school.

“To see it resolved through digital platforms, it rubs me a little bit the wrong way,” he said. “I understand the desire to get back on track and

A 2019 Johns Hopkins study found students in some subgroups using Zearn made statistically signi cant progress but overall results were less signi cant. Students in schools that used Zearn for more hours a week generally saw more improvement than those that used it for fewer hours. Teachers in the study generally liked the program and felt it supported student learning.

Even so, many teachers reported the format of Zearn —which requires students to work independently and to read, listen, and type responses —made it hard for some students to use.

Meanwhile, students who used Zearn in the study were less likely to express con dence in their math skills compared with students at schools that didn’t use Zearn. A potential explanation, the study authors wrote, was that students

“Unfortunately, time and time again, what we see is that communities rebuild in the same way in the same areas as those that burned to the ground,” Steinberg said. “Without a new approach, we’re destined to repeat history at our own peril against a erce and unrelenting opponent. We won’t stop wild res from occurring, but codes and standards are the means to better withstand and lessen impact in the wildland urban interface.”

may have found the Zearn material “more challenging than previously experienced, which may have affected their feelings toward mathematics in general.”

Webb said these types of ndings underscore the importance of coupling digital platforms with instruction from teachers and opportunities for students to work through math problems with their peers. It’s also critical for teachers to get training — something that has become much more challenging as teachers lose their planning periods to cover for colleagues or can’t go to conferences due to substitute shortages, Webb said.

Arturo Cortez, an assistant professor of learning sciences and human development and director of e Learning To Transform (LiTT) Video Gaming Lab at the University of Colorado, said the teachers he works with who already use Zearn love it because it helps them see quickly which students got the lesson and which need more help.

“Codes and standards established through a consensus process are a minimum and they should not be picked apart in a political environment,” Ray said. “ e more buildings built to an outdated or weakened code in the interface between the

bridge divides between the home and the classroom and help parents better support their children’s learning, Cortez said.

He cautioned, though, that teachers need opportunities to learn how to use the program, play with it, and think through how it can help their students —not just a perfunctory session to get familiar with the interface. It’s also important to see how —and whether —students engage with the tool.

“With a lot of digital tools, we sit kids in front of them and don’t spend time with them while they are using them,” he said. “What makes them engaging? What makes kids have that commitment? And how do we create environments like that in the classroom?”

Colorado schools can sign up for Zearn Math for the 2023-24 school year.

ARVADA —  e top-10 Class 4A boys lacrosse showdown April 19 at the North Area Athletic Complex didn’t disappoint.

No. 3 Dakota Ridge and No. 8 Evergreen faced o in a 4A Foothills League opener. Dakota Ridge took a 11-10 victory in dramatic fashion for the Eagles’ eighth straight win.

“Every game counts, and this one was huge to come out here and get our rst league win,” Dakota Ridge coach Dak Riecke said. “In Dakota Ridge history, they have never won a (boys lacrosse) league title. at is what we are trying to go for this year.”

Dakota Ridge senior Cameron Seymour scored the eventual game-winning goal with 1:13 remaining in the fourth quarter. Junior Quintin Fields was able to avoid the checks of Evergreen senior defender Mikey Crane before centering a pass to Seymour.

e senior mid elder red a shot that beat Evergreen sophomore goalie Johnathon Grube to give the Eagles a 11-10 lead. It was the third goal of the second half for Seymour.

“I felt like starting out with our toughest (league) opponent really showed us what league will look like,” Seymour said. “Beating Evergreen is one of the biggest things we’ve done so far. I hope we can continue to role in league.”

Dakota Ridge (10-2, 2-0 in league) was shorthanded, missing three starters, including leading goal scorer in senior Colin Smith. However, the Eagles were still able to score double-digit goals for the eighth straight game.

“We always say it is a race to 10 (goals),” Riecke said. “ e rst team to get to 10 has a great chance to win.”

Evergreen (4-5, 1-1) put up double-digit goals, too, with Evergreen junior Leo Kailus leading the way with four goals. e Cougars had an opportunity to force overtime with possession of the ball in the nal 30 seconds but couldn’t get o a shot.

Defensive pressure by Dakota Ridge senior Ethan Jenkinson forced a Cougar turnover with under 10 seconds to play. Senior Jack Rons was able to pick up the loose ball and run out the clock for the Eagles.

“We had great defensive and o ensive play,” Riecke said. “We never gave up and fought through the whole thing. It is a great way to start this way in league.”

Grube and Dakota Ridge senior goalie Logan Dubowski were both impressive in net, especially in the fourth quarter when both made saves on breakaway chances seconds apart.

“Logan Dobrowski stepped up for us,” Riecke said. “He is the heart and soul of our defense and almost our team. He is one of the best keepers in the state. He is so good.”

e rst half ended deadlocked 5-5 with neither team holding more than a 1-goal lead. Kailus scored a trio of goals in the rst half for the Cougars. Seniors Nash Carroll and Luke Killian each added a goal for Evergreen in the opening half.

Dakota Ridge was paced by sophomores Nolan Hartman and Tyler Read, who had two goals each by halftime. Junior Sam Lyall added a goal to help the Eagles keep pace with Evergreen in the opening 24 minutes.

Chatfield vaults atop 5A Je co girls soccer standings

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — A little overtime work April 18 at Lakewood Memorial Field paid o big time for Chateld’s girls soccer team.

A goal in the 96th minute of the second-overtime period by junior Ava Erickson gave Chat eld a 2-1 victory over Ralston Valley and sole possession of rst place in the Class 5A Je co League girls soccer standings.

“I had a couple of volleys right there at the end,” Erickson said of her back-to-back scoring changes in close late in the second-overtime period. “I just kicked and it went in.” e victory moved Chat eld (7-4, 4-0 in league) ahead Ralston Valley (7-4-1, 2-1-1) and Valor Christian (5-1-3, 2-0-2) in the conference standings.

Valor had its rst conference blemish with a 2-2 tie against Arvada West (6-2-1, 1-1-1) on April 18 at the North Area Athletic Complex.

“For however long it lasts we’ll enjoy it,” Chat eld coach Brock Blume said of moving into rst place alone in the conference standings. “I feel like we are nding our identity. ere is nothing better than testing that identity when you are playing a quality opponent like Ralston Valley. ey are always a tough game for us. It was really cool to see us rise to the occasion.”

After a scoreless rst half, it looked like Chat eld would score rst when the Chargers were awarded a penalty kick in the 54th minute. Junior Hannah Anderson took the PK, but Ralston Valley junior goalie Margot Mulhern made a diving save to her

left to keep the game scoreless.

“When a goalie keep rises to the occasion you have to bounce back,” Blume said of saved by Mulhern on the penalty kick. “Tonight was all about bouncing back.”

Seconds later, Chat eld did score on a brilliant corner kick by junior Jayden Heil. e left-footed strike

bent into the goal for a 1-0 lead in the 55th minute.

“At the beginning of the season we had a rough time responding. We often would get down,” Erickson said. “I feel these last couple games we’ve really gured out how to respond. When things happen you just have to keep going.”

Ralston Valley — No. 9 in the CHSAANow.com 5A rankings — tied things up 1-1 in the 59th minute. Sophomore Raleigh Greason scored her team-leading 14 goal of the season with a laser shot that got past Chat eld junior goalie Alyssa Green.

Greason nearly gave the Mustangs their rst lead, but her shot in the 74th minute hit the crossbar and was cleared by the Chargers.

Ralston Valley has caught re as of late. e Mustangs dropped 3 of 4 games before starting their conference schedule, but had reeled o four straight victory in outscoring their opponents 20-1 heading into Tuesday’s game against Chat eld. Ralston Valley had another huge league game when it hosted No. 4 Valor Christian on April 21 at the North Area Athletic Complex. e Mustangs and Eagles ended in a 1-1 draw that went double-overtime. Chatfield is attempting to win its first girls soccer league title since 2019.

“Right now the focus is the next game against Pomona,” Blume said. “We can’t be looking ahead.” Chatfield finished out the week April 20, out at the NAAC. The Chargers defeated Pomona 6-0 with all goals being scored in the first half.

“We still have to keep climbing,” Erickson said of the Chargers controlling its own destiny in the league title race. “We can’t get complacent for sure.”

Nothing final in marathon baseball game in 4A Je co League play

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

WHEAT RIDGE — Maybe ttingly, there was no nal score to report from the Class 4A Je co League baseball game April 20 at Everitt Middle School.

After nearly 4 hours of baseball, D’Evelyn and Wheat Ridge players shook hands after the game was suspended due to darkness at 7:45 p.m. e Jaguars were leading 19-10 going to the bottom of the eighth inning.

D’Evelyn (8-5, 3-0 in league) scored 9 runs in the top of the eighth inning after the game went to extra innings. Wheat Ridge (2-10, 1-2) will bat in the bottom of the eighth inning when the game is resumed. e game was scheduled to be nished up Saturday, April 22, at D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School, but the snowstorm that blanketed Je co postponed the remainder of the league game and non-league game between the Farmers and Jaguars. It was a game appropriate for a script to Stranger ings or Twilight Zone.

rough 7 and a half innings, there were 26 walks and 5 hit-by-pitch. While there were 29 combined runs scored, D’Evelyn and Wheat Ridge

managed just a dozen hits between the two squads.

D’Evelyn

had a 6-run bottom of the sixth to take a 10-8 lead.

e Farmers had just one hit in the innings, a 2-run single by freshman Nathan Trione Jr. Wheat Ridge took advantage of ve walks and two Jaguar errors in the inning. Trione actually produced both of the Farmers’ two hits.

Wheat Ridge was one out away from the victory in the top of the seven inning with a 10-9 lead with Trione on the mound. A y ball by Perry was dropped with two outs, allowing the tying run to score.

D’Evelyn senior Merrick Oleszeck pitched a scoreless bottom of the seventh inning to send the game into extra innings. Oleszeck struck out the side to keep the game tied at 10-10.

e Jaguars kept the momentum going with a 9-run top of the eighth

inning. D’Evelyn sent 14 batters to the plate. Colin Kim and Kyle Vanek both had 2-run hits and the Jaguars took advantage of six walks and two Farmer errors to grab a 19-10 lead.

D’Evelyn took the eld defensively to start the bottom of the eighth inning, but after a short conversation between D’Evelyn coach Dan Porreco, Wheat Ridge coach Jarett Hack and the umpires it was decided to suspend the game due to darkness.
