Developer pauses Belmar Park development Suspect charged in 777 S. Yarrow St. apartment complex on hold for two months after protests

alleged theft of body parts from Wheat Ridge cemetery

In the latest turn of events for the embattled development planned for 777 S. Yarrow St. — which would feature 412 units but has raised concerns over its location adjacent to Belmar Park — developer Kairoi Residential has halted the project for two months.

The pause will allow the developer to hear from community members objecting to the project, a letter from Kairoi to Lakewood’s city council said.

Over the last few weeks, tensions have mounted between neighbors of the park and stakeholders for the project, leading one resident to chain herself to a tree.

The Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Office arrested John Wayne Belknap, 46, in connection with the recent theft of body parts from a tomb in Crown Hill Cemetery in Wheat Ridge.

Investigators issued a warrant for Belknap’s arrest after finding evidence at the scene of the crime that connected to the suspect, according to a Sheriff ’s Office press release Belknap is charged with felony criminal mischief, abuse of a corpse, 3rddegree burglary, theft and desecration of a venerated object. He is being held at the Jefferson County Jail, according to the press release.

According to investigators, Belknap appears to have no relation to the deceased. They also don’t see a connection between Belnap and any of the tombs surrounding the one he allegedly desecrated.

Concern from residents has chiefly centered around the development’s environmental impacts.

The proposal’s current iteration would see the felling of 69 trees, and abuts Belmar Park, which is considered an unofficial bird sanctuary by many residents.

Some contention has arisen over the procedure of the development — Kairoi Residential owns 777 S. Yarrow St., which is located within an urban renewal area in Lakewood. Because of development rules pertaining to the urban renewal tract, the property falls within a use-by-right designation; meaning that city council cannot vote on it.

Tyler Sibley, the principal of development for Kairoi, said the developer had contacted city team members to schedule forums to field concerns and suggestions from residents.

“We want to be a good neighbor and understand that while a neighborhood meeting wasn’t re-

Lakewood Mayor Pro Tem Wendi Strom said that she believes community member’s frustrations come from the lack of a public process for the development.

If Your Low Interest Mortgage Keeps You From Selling, Consider What Rita and I Did

Long-time readers of this column know that Rita and I sold our 4,000-sq.foot Golden home in March 2022 and moved into a 2-bedroom apartment in a 55+ rental building called Avenida Lakewood, now called Solana Lakewood. We did that because I sensed, correctly, that we were at the top of the market — and “cashing out” made financial sense for us.

Neither Rita nor I had been renters since our 30s, and as a Realtor I never thought I’d be a renter again, but it made financial sense. We are both in our mid-70s now, and cashing out meant that we would have more than enough money to live out our lives. Heck, our combined Social Security payments, even after deductions for Medicare, are more than what we now pay for rent at Solana Lakewood, and the net proceeds from the sale of our house could be invested and further increase our “nest egg.” (We also appreciate the ability to “lock-and-leave” our apartment, not worrying about lawn mowing, snow shoveling or burglary while going away on vacations.)

The mortgage on our Golden home was about 3%, and in March 2022 we could have purchased a replacement home with a similar mortgage if we had chosen to, because it was only after we sold our home that mortgage interest rates began to rise.

Now, interest rates are over 7%, and one of the reasons that some homeowners choose not to sell is that they don’t want to surrender their 3% mortgage in return for a 7% mortgage on their new home. This scenario if referred to as

being “rate-locked.” Perhaps that applies to your situation.

Meanwhile, of course, the price you can command for your home is slowly going down because the cost of a mortgage is reducing the population of potential buyers in your price range. Experts predict that prices will continue to soften in the coming months and years.

That’s why I chose this week to write once again about what Rita and I did — sell our home and become renters.

Especially if you are a senior, this could work for you as it did for us, in part because many of the 55+ communities have vacancies and are offering incentives. Here at Solana Lakewood, there are over 20 vacant apartments (about 10%), and they are offering a $1,500 bonus to new residents if they know a current resident who refers them. Also, there is little or no security deposit, and you are given up to 60 days to move in after signing a lease.

As a bonus, if you hire me to list and sell your current home in the metro area, I will provide totally free moving, using Golden Real Estate’s moving truck, laborers and free moving boxes. You won’t even have to buy gas for the moving truck!

You may be asking whether this is a good time to sell, so let me offer some perspective. As of this Monday morning, there are 1,098 active Jefferson County listings on REcolorado. At right is shown the residential MLS activity last week in Jefferson County.

The median days on MLS before going under contract goes up in the winter

I have mentioned in the past the wide ranging rebates and tax credits available under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) for making your home more energy efficient, but there is one tax credit that every homeowner with an older electrical panel should consider utilizing. That is the $600 tax credit for installing a new 200-amp electrical panel, which could cost a few thousand dollars.

Homes built between 1950 and 1980 quite likely were built with Federal Pacific electrical panels. Those panels display an Underwriters Laboratory certification, but that certification was withdrawn after the Consumer Product Safety Commission determined in 1982 that individual breakers in those panels might not trip when overloaded.

When the time comes to sell your home with a Federal Pacific electrical panel, the buyer’s inspector will spot it immediately and encourage the buyer to include re-

placement of the panel in their inspection objection. Although the above tax credit is available for the next 10 years, you might consider replacing the panel now (if it hasn’t already been replaced) and enjoy the peace of mind of having a certified safe electrical panel with a larger capacity of 200 amps.

If your panel doesn’t display the name Federal Pacific, look for Stab-Lock breakers or the Zinsco brand name. They’re all the same.

Broker/Owner, 303-525-1851 The credit for replacing your electric Jim@GoldenRealEstate.com panel is part of the IRA because of the 1214 Washington Ave., Golden 80401 act’s focus on home electrification through Broker Associates: the replacement of gas appliances with JIM SWANSON, 303-929-2727 more efficient heat pump HVAC and waCHUCK BROWN, 303-885-7855 ter heater units and other appliances, DAVID DLUGASCH, 303-908-4835 which earn even greater rebates and/or tax GREG KRAFT, 720-353-1922 credits.

months. In September 2022 it was 14 days, peaking at 32 days in January before falling to 10 days in March. This September median days before going under contract was 11 days, but average days before going under contract was 40, which is a measure of how many listings are overpriced and therefore sitting on the market. The high number of listings which decreased their prices in just the last seven days (see chart below) speaks to that same problem.

Therefore, you can rest assured, in my opinion, that if you price your home properly (which we’re pretty good at), your home can sell this winter and sell quickly without price reductions.

7-Day Jefferson County Market Watch

My most recent Jeffco listing, featured two weeks ago in this space, was listed properly at $825,000 and went under contract with competing offers for over $835,000. So it can be done.

In a softening market, you need to stay ahead of that trend. If you price your home based of comparable sales in the previous six months, you run the risk of overpricing it. If you price it lower than what previous sales suggest, you’ll attract more showings, more offers and likely sell it for more than if you list it “at the market.”

Beyond the “rate-locked” situation mentioned above, many sellers are reluctant to sell out of fear they won’t find a home to buy, and their purchase would need to be contingent on the sale of their home. Renting eliminates that anxiety, because you can find a home or apartment you want to rent and, like at Solana, have 60 days to sell your home before you move in and start paying rent.

Undoubtedly you have heard about last week’s mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine. I have a special relationship with Maine, because all four of my siblings and I were born in Maine, and one of my sisters still lives in Kingfield, Maine, 66 miles from Lewiston, where she was born and where our parents met as students at Bates College.

A lot of my values derive from my New England upbringing. Although my parents raised us kids in the Episcopal Church, my father was raised as a Quaker, which accounts for the zero military experience on his side of our family. My mother was born in Kalispell MT because her dad was a surveyor in the building of the “Going to the Sun” road in Glacier National Park, but hers too was a New England family.

A news report I saw showed a highway sign which said, “Welcome to Maine—The Way Life Should Be.” The report also said that the 18 lives lost to gun violence last week exceeded all the lives lost that way in 15 years.

It was noted that the weapon used was “AR-style” and that the state may now move to ban that kind of rifle.

“The community’s frustration about this, honestly, is that they don’t have any control,” Strom said.

“And they don’t; none of us do. We really are hoping that the developer will truly show up sincerely wanting to be a good neighbor and consider some of the proposals that might be made.”

However, community members voiced displeasure with the way things have been handled by city council. Lakewood resident Regina Hopkins said she didn’t feel listened to by most of council — Hopkins INANCIAL AND TAX SERV PL E TE F C O M L L B U SIN ES S A N D P R OF E S I CE S S IO N A SMA LS FOR

cited Councilmember Anita Springsteen as the lone exception — when voicing concerns about the project.

“The rest of these people on council, they’re basically useless,” Hopkins said. “They’re not listening to the public and that’s their job, to be respecting the majority’s will and they were absolutely not respecting the majority’s will. That whole council needs to be thrown out. It is more toxic than my last relationship.”

Strom said she hopes Kairoi listens to community members during the upcoming community input sessions, but added that without much legal wiggle room, there may not be much to be done.

“I am hopeful — although there is not a lot of teeth, legally — (Kairoi is) only doing it because the community

showed up and said, ‘We want better,’ and I’m glad they did,” Strom said.

Strom continued to say that she hopes the developer addresses parking concerns for the area and think about affordable housing units.

“I would like to see them include affordable housing units,” Strom said. “We need to talk about parking; the conversation about parking includes the owner, the city can look at it. It’s a little tiny street when you think about the library, traffic and 412-unit traffic in there.”

Hopkins said that the community’s efforts to stop the development will note abate and sees this case as being symptomatic of a larger problem with diminishing green spaces in Lakewood.

“Our grassroots efforts are not go-

ing to stop,” Hopkins said. “We’re going to continue to fight for this because we know this is critical to save this in Lakewood. We keep losing open space and parkland every single day and that is not acceptable as a value we uphold in Colorado.”

Strom concluded by stating that she feels the victory in this situation is the developer listening to residents, and added that she hoped city council could pass a proclamation suggesting some of residents’ proposals to the developer — not an ordinance, as had been previously discussed, and is not within the legal framework available for this development.

“The win here is they showed up, asked for better, we got to work, and we got something out of it that wasn’t otherwise required,” Strom said.

Clerk and Recorder announces first-week ballot return stats

LINDSAY NICOLETTI Operations/ Circulation Manager

The Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder announced the returns for the first week of voting. Ballots were sent out on Oct. 16. By Oct. 20, some ballots were already returned with these results: • 430,720 active voters • 4,438 ballots were returned.

They also tracked the ballots received by political parties.

• Democrat - 31.1% • Republican - 29.7% • Unaffiliated - 38.3% • Minor Parties - 0.9% Jeffco Clerk Amanda Gonzalez wants voters to know that this election matters just as much as the presidential elections. Called a coordinated election, races like the ones being decided on Nov. 7 are important for the communities you live in. “Some people call the election that’s currently underway an off-year or odd-year election, but that undersells its importance,” Gonzalez said. “The fact is, your vote is never more powerful than it is during a coordinated election. Rather than being one of millions, your vote is one of thousands, or even hundreds, that will decide important issues and races that impact your community.”

Race to rebuild: 6 months after announcing its move, Bandimere Speedway is still looking for a new location and buyer

BY HANNAH TURPEN SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The Bandimere family announced on April 21 that the iconic speedway would close at the end of the season. The season has now ended, and the search for a new location for the speedway is still in progress. Sales haven’t been finalized on the current facility.

After celebrating 65 years at Thunder Mountain, the Bandimere family wants to expand and upgrade the speedway.

Bandimere Speedway President Tami Bandimere explained that the current speedway only utilizes 120 acres of the 160 that facility sits on.

The Bandimere family hopes to find a location with over 400 acres to allow for a state-of-the-art facility.

The current facility has no water or sewage lines and is losing a good portion of parking. The land and the business are two separate entities that hold their own value, which they have considered throughout the selling and purchasing process.

After celebrating 65 years at Thunder Mountain, the Bandimere family wants to COURTESY PHOTO expand and upgrade the speedway.

ous Materials and Waste Management Division doesn’t have extensive knowledge about the Bandimere Speedways property, but a spokesperson provided some insight into what happens when selling a similar property.

“In general, most real estate transactions do require an environmental site assessment and/or clean up as part of the transaction,” said a spokesperson from the Colorado Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division.

Bandimere remained confident that the property will sell and a new location will appear. Details on land usage remain unknown as a prospective buyer and Bandimere Speedway are under a non-disclosure agreement and plans will be released if the sale is finalized. Other prospective buyers have backed out once they realized that there aren’t sewage or water lines, Bandimere explained.

There have never been water or sewage lines on the land, and the water from the well that was on the property dried out several years ago.

For years, 1,000-gallon water trucks have supplied all the water for the speedway. The Bandimere family has been leasing a portion of the property to use as overflow parking. That property is now under contract to sell, resulting in a loss of ample parking for future seasons if Bandimere Speedway remained at Thunder Mountain.

“I don’t get very emotional, but I think about my grandparents, and I don’t think they ever would’ve thought that this place would be here

in 2023,” Bandimere said.

The idea of Bandimere Speedway moving near Denver International Airport was ditched once underground issues on the property were discovered. It has been difficult for the Bandimre family to find a property that people are still willing to travel to, has a strong foundational structure and over 400 acres of land. Tami Bandimere hopes for features such as theater-style seats, good sound systems, new food and beverage areas, water and sewage, to help enhance the racer and fan experience.

“Knowing that we were here for 65 years, in this facility, if a new facility comes together it would be a longterm situation. You have to make sure your foundational stuff is spot on, the last thing you want to do is rip stuff up or replace stuff because you didn’t do it right the first time,” Bandimere said.

The Mile High Nationals will not be returning to Colorado in 2024. For the past 35 years, the Bandimere family has had the longest-running national event sponsorship in the history of the National Hot Rod Association.

Showing their support, the NHRA agreed to not host an event in Colorado until Bandimere re-opens in the future. In 1988, the NHRA agreed to pull the Mile High Nationals so that Bandimere Speedway could finish the $4.2 million renovation, which was open in time for the 1989 season.

“Everyone wants to hear what they want to hear and that’s OK, as long as we put our stake in the ground and our story never changes then they understand we’re being upfront with them,” Bandimere said.

Health insurance rates set to rise

BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

Health insurance premiums for people who buy coverage on their own are set to increase by nearly 10% next year.

But that is slightly lower than insurers had initially requested, and the Polis administration found other reasons to cheer in the numbers it released.

Nearly one-third of Colorado Option plans sold in the individual market and 80% of Colorado Option plans offered in the smallgroup market — where small employers buy plans for their workers

— are expected to hit the state-set price targets.

Those numbers are far better than what it appeared they would be when insurers earlier this year filed their rate requests and raised questions about the sustainability of the Colorado Option, which aims to offer better coverage at less-expensive prices. The program is one of Gov. Jared Polis’ signature health care policies.

“The division continues to hammer away at health care costs, working to limit rising costs and save people money on health care,” Colorado Insurance Commissioner Michael Conway said in a state-

ment. “As it does every year, our team dug deep into what the companies filed to push down on what they wanted to charge.”

Others were not as enthusiastic.

Saskia Young, the executive director of the Colorado Association of Health Plans, an insurer trade group that often spars with Conway, noted that fewer overall plans will be offered next year and said the increasing premium prices are due in part to new coverage requirements that the Division of Insurance has championed.

“The DOI is couching its legal obligation to ensure premium rates are not ‘excessive, inadequate, or discriminatory’ as a newfound win for Colorado consumers, when in fact it is the same premium filing process that occurs every year,” Young said in a statement.

The rates announced in midOctober apply only to a subset of consumers. About half of Coloradans get their health insurance through work — but most of those are covered by large-group or selffunded plans. Only about 7% of Coloradans, meanwhile, purchase insurance in the individual market,

where consumers buy plans without help from an employer.

But, because the individual market is the most transparent health insurance market — and the most subject to regulatory oversight — it often receives the most attention and serves as a bellwether for the rest of the insurance market.

One unique feature of the individual market is that the federal and state governments provide subsidies to help some people purchase the plans, which are often more expensive than what employees pay for coverage through their jobs.

The Polis administration announced that the state will be able to offer additional subsidies next year to people with lower incomes.

The subsidies are available as one result of the decision by the federal government to provide the state with more than $200 million in “pass-through funding” for 2024 — money given in recognition of Colorado programs that have lowered how much the federal government spends on premium subsidies for the state.

The new subsidies will be available on silver-level plans to people and families making up to 250% of the federal poverty line — that’s $36,450 per year for an individual and $75,000 per year for a family of four. The state estimates that about 20,000 people will be eligible for the new subsidies.

The most powerful of the pricereducing programs continues to be reinsurance, in which the state helps insurers pay their most expensive claims, allowing those companies to reduce premiums for everyone. The Division of Insurance estimates that reinsurance will save consumers $411 million in 2024. Without the program, the state says premium prices for 2024 would be nearly 25% higher.

“I am thrilled to announce that Coloradans will save $411 million on health insurance premiums next year as a result of the bipartisan reinsurance program,” Polis said in a statement. “I am committed to looking at every solution to save people money on health care to ensure that Coloradans can access quality care when they need it most.”

insurance plans will increase, on average, next year is only a shade below the average rate increase of 10% that insurers had initially requested. But most insurers saw state regulators reduce their requested premium increases by more than that. The state’s insistence that one insurer, Denver Health Medical Plan, significantly raise its rates offset much of the savings from the reduction in other insurers’ prices.

Rates increased last year by 10.4%.

The Division of Insurance said that if people not currently enrolled in a Colorado Option plan were to switch into the lowest-cost one available to them next year, they would be able to limit their price increases to 7%. (To be sure, though, a Colorado Option plan

To Conway, this represents a significant victory for the Colorado Option program, even if most plans in the individual market won’t meet the price targets of being 10% below 2021 rates after adjusted for inflation. He credits the public hearing process for Colorado Option plans — though the public hearings, themselves, fizzled out.

Conway said the threat of public hearings caused insurers and hospitals to lower 73 different contracts to the maximum extent

allowed under the law, thus dropping rates for many Colorado Option plans lower than what was originally requested.

“The Colorado Option hearing process did something that is nearly unprecedented in health care in the U.S.,” Conway said in a statement. “The Colorado Option actually bent the cost curve and reduced health care costs, and in turn brought down premiums.”

Young, the Colorado Association of Health Plans leader, reiterated concerns that Colorado Option requirements are unsustainable.

“The Colorado Option program requires additional coverages at lower prices which is not how insurance nor any other industry works,” she said.

VOICES

BOTH SIDES NOW: MCINTYRE DEVELOPMENT

Rising above misinformation: Jeffco’s path to a prosperous and balanced future

Work with the community for compatible, sustainable development

N

A

avigating the complex and emotionally charged landscape of land use and development often feels like running through a gauntlet.

Across Colorado, the continuing tensions between longstanding property rights versus residents resistant to further changes are intensifying.

In Jefferson County, we’re now witnessing this clash play out in real-time on a proposed project that would ordinarily be a bythe-book proposal to build a new business park on a major traffic corridor. On the one side, the local landowner and developer of the proposed Golden Technology Center at 5950 McIntyre St. are proposing a by-right use on land zoned for this very purpose for decades. On the other is a neighborhood opposition group seeking to discard more than a century of established Colorado property law and zoning regulations.

First, let’s break down the basics. Jefferson County, like every other county in Colorado, must balance the needs for consistent and sustained economic growth, balanced property tax revenue and job opportunities. Jefferson County relies heavily on property tax revenue to fund schools, critical services like water and fire districts and various operational needs. Unlike cities, Jeffco doesn’t have the luxury of sales tax revenue to lean on. It’s the property taxes paid by homeowners and businesses that keep the county running smoothly.

Now, here’s where the scales tip a bit. Jefferson County has a deep housing-jobs imbalance, with 30,000 more homes than jobs. This means that more people are commuting farther by car to their workplaces, resulting in

increased traffic congestion and emissions. And it also means that residential properties shoulder a disproportionate burden of those property taxes.

This imbalance is why we Jansen Tidmore must champion a strong and robust business sector. When we have more businesses occupying commercial spaces, they contribute significant tax revenues to fund critical services. The Golden Technology Center, for example, would pay an estimated $2 million per year in property taxes – or about 40x what is being paid now.

Economic diversification is good for everyone.

Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: NIMBYism and misinformation. Opponents of projects like the one at 5950 McIntyre increasingly play from the same playbook: wage a campaign on NextDoor and Facebook, whip up fear, harass public officials in public meetings and at their homes, hire PR firms and fundraise for legal support. All of these tactics serve only to make it as painful and expensive as possible to build.

Collectively, these tactics serve only to hurt Jefferson County’s economy, which is wholly dependent on our ability to draw – and keep – companies that provide good jobs and power our community. These tactics fundamentally make it more difficult to do that, and it needs to be called out. We need to consider the risks to

s the community coalition, McIntyre Neighbors United, we are opposing the development of a huge warehouse project that is incompatible with our neighborhoods and would be dangerous for nearby residents and wildlife. Our group includes representatives from 18 Homeowner Associations.

We want to first make it clear that we are not NIMBYs (Not In My Backyard folks). We understand this site will be developed and we don’t oppose that; we just want the development to be compatible with this area.

This began in August 2022 when the developer, Constellation Real Estate Partners of Dallas, Texas, submitted plans to redevelop 40 acres at 5902-5950 McIntyre in unincorporated Jefferson County into distribution warehouses. Their design meets the industry definition of a distribution warehouse. Conservatively, it has a capacity for 2,000 vehicular trips/day.

Because no public hearings were planned to obtain community input on this project, several community members met with the owner to learn more about this proposed development.

We asked for a good neighbor agreement to ensure the new development would be as wellplanned as the business park and laboratories that had occupied this site for decades. We’ve lived harmoniously with those neighbors—up to 16 buildings at one time—since the 1970s.

It quickly became clear there would be no good neighbor agreement. It also became clear why — as currently proposed, this project won’t be a good neighbor to nearby residential areas. The proposal by its nature introduces high volumes of semi-truck traffic, 24/7

operations, dangerous diesel emissions linked to cancer and asthma, and noise levels orders of magnitude louder than limits Anne Laffoon established Jim Cheatham in state law as safe for resiLynn Clemens dential areas.

This development would not be approved by neighboring municipal jurisdictions, including Arvada, Broomfield and Golden. The City of Arvada’s 2021 updated land use regulations prohibit building distribution warehouses adjacent to residential areas because of the dangers posed by heavy truck traffic and noise.

Jefferson County is currently updating its woefully out-of-date industrial zoning and land use regulations. Updates are anticipated

by May 2024 and would likely not permit this development to be built so close to residential areas.

Although building a distribution warehouse adjacent to any residential community is ill-advised, the important ecological and historic features of this site make it a particularly ill-suited location for this project.

The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Department warned the development would impact wildlife, including eagle habitat on this site and adjacent Hyatt Lake.

History Colorado and the Jefferson County Historical Commission have warned that this development will erase the historic landmarks in this area. To build the three planned massive ware

houses, the developer proposes to move the Farmer’s Highline Canal.

As for economic growth, demand for distribution warehouses is already being met in northwest Denver. Many new distribution warehouses are now being built.

Further, the small number of lowwage warehouse jobs this proposal might create will be reduced by drone delivery and automation.

Buildings designed for innovative uses, such as those at the nearby master-planned Coors Technology Center, attract better tenants offering higher-paying jobs.

The central issue here is whether we as a community will insist on thoughtful development that preserves the very things we love most about Colorado—a clean environment, conservation of wildlife, and preservation of our rural areas and historic landmarks.

our economy and the people who work there.

The reality is that the proposed development in unincorporated Jeffco is not the neighborhooddevouring, cancer-causing monstrosity some claim it to be. It’s a “by-right” use of land that aligns with decades of zoning and planning. Traffic levels would be akin to a small neighborhood, not a commercial hub or nonstop trucking logistics distribution center. It is, in point of fact, the type of flex industrial space that Jefferson County urgently needs.

Ultimately, we must focus on facts, dispel NIMBYism, and em-

LIFE HOW COLORADO COMMUNITIES CELEBRATE DíA DE LOS MUERTOS

BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As people enter The Center on Colfax in Denver, they are greeted by a colorful community altar featuring sugar skulls, flowers, skeleton figures and photos of people.

The altar, called an “ofrenda” in Spanish, is part of the center’s celebration of Day of the Dead, or “Día de los Muertos” — a holiday where people honor dead loved ones.

“A lot of it is about reconnecting with who we are as people and who has been here before us,” said Sandra Zapata, the director of youth services at The Center on Colfax.

Day of the Dead is a pre-Hispanic celebration that predominantly occurs in Mexico on Nov. 1 and Nov. 2, according to the center.

On these days, spirits are believed to return home and spend time with their loved ones, according to The Mexican Museum.

Families build altars with offerings to welcome the spirits.

This year, communities throughout Colorado have planned events in honor of Day of the Dead, with hopes of bringing people together — both in person and in spirit.

At the Sheridan Library in Denver, the community group Sheridan Rising Together for Equity planned to host a Day of the

Dead celebration on Nov. 1 featuring dance performances, food and an exhibition of an altar.

From now until Nov. 5, the library is also hosting a traveling museum exhibition from Museo de las Américas about Day of the Dead, displaying artifacts that help share the history and meaning of the holiday.

Museo de las Américas, a Latin American art museum within Denver’s Art District on Santa Fe, has planned its own celebration in collaboration with other organizations at 5 p.m. on Nov. 3.

In Thornton, the city’s arts and culture division will host the seventh annual Day of the Dead celebration from noon to 5 p.m. Nov. 4 at McAllister Park Center.

Zapata said it is really interesting to see how different communities celebrate Day of the Dead, whether it be hosting a parade, creating a communal ofrenda, or visiting the cemetery where a loved one is buried.

“I want to be in those spaces and I want to reconnect to traditions with other folks who also celebrate Day of the Dead.

Maybe it looks different from what I’m used to, and that’s going to be OK,” Zapata said.

“You get to see what they look like outside of, you know, maybe your own experience — and that’s great.”

The Center on Colfax’s ofrenda

The Center on Colfax, an LGBTQ+ community center based in Denver, has been creating ofrendas for Day of the Dead since about 2016, Zapata said.

This year, the center invited the community to participate in building the ofrenda and bring photos of their loved ones.\ Zapata said people’s willingness to share was very touching.

“For them to share very intimate details about their loved ones and why they meant so much to them, and maybe how tragically they lost them — I think it’s such an honor for folks to feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable in a public space with people that maybe they don’t know,” Zapata said.

Zapata, whose pronouns are they/them, said they grew up in Mexico, and it was a tradition for schools to have an ofrenda every year.

“You get to bring pictures of the folks that you want to remember and bring back on Day of the Dead,” they said. “It was always an activity that we did at school and at home and, kind of, honoring those folks and what they taught us.”

At the age of 16, Zapata moved to Iowa.

“It made me kind of cling on to those celebrations much more because I didn’t want to lose them,” Zapata said. “I wanted to continue to honor the traditions that I grew up with, regardless of where I was and whether or not folks around me were going to celebrate it in the same way.

“I just wanted to make sure that I honored my culture and the things that I grew up with,” they continued.

The ofrenda will be open until the first week of November, Zapata said. Creating it is a way for The Center on Colfax to recognize intersectionality within the community, they added.

“Yes, being part of the LGBTQ+ community is important, but all of our other identities are just as important to us,” they said.

Zapata explained being queer and Mexican comes hand-inhand.

“For me to be able to celebrate that very specific space that I live in … It’s important to me that places, like my place of work, will celebrate it with the same enthusiasm, right, that any other celebration would (get),” they said.

DAY OF THE DEAD FROM PAGE 16

Thornton’s celebration aims for more than 1,000 attendees

Over the years, Thornton’s celebration of Day of the Dead has grown to the point of attracting hundreds of attendees.

Alisa Zimmerman, the manager of the City of Thornton’s Arts and Culture Division, said the celebration started as a small gathering in the arts and culture center.

This year, for the seventh annual celebration, the event will be held from noon to 5 p.m. Nov. 4 at McAllister Park Center, located at 750 W. 96th Ave. Zimmerman said it is important for any city to recognize the diversity and richness of its community.

“There is a very large, robust Hispanic community in Thornton — in original Thornton, which is the southern part of Thornton,” Zimmerman said.

By 2019, the event attracted a few hundred attendees, she said. To accommodate the bigger crowd, the celebration is now held at McAllister Park, which has a building on it that was previously a church.

“That proved to be the perfect, you know, home for this event as it continues to grow, and it’s both an indoor and outdoor thing,” she said. “We love the fact that it’s still very near to our core community that loves to celebrate this event.”

Last year, about 700 people attended, she said. The year before that, an estimated 1,000 people showed up.

This year, the goal is to exceed 1,000 attendees, she said.

Attendees this year can expect music and dance performances, as well as face painting, an art market and a costume contest.

The celebration this year will also feature the Butterfly Pavilion. Zimmerman said the pavilion wanted to display its monarch butterfly exhibit because monarchs migrate to Mexico and some people believe that monarchs represent the dead coming back to visit the living.

The Mexican Cultural Center will also create a beautiful ofrenda, Zimmerman said. People are able to bring photos to place on the ofrenda.

“The wonderful part, for me, is it’s so multigenerational,” she said. “I think Day of the Dead represents a wonderful opportunity to gather people together.”

When asked what advice she has for newcomers, Zimmerman said, “Come with a sense of discovery and curiosity about what this holiday is.”

The Day of the Dead altar at The Center on Colfax features skeleton figures, flowers and photos of people.

Museo de las Américas to host a procession

Museo de las Américas is the premier Latin American art museum in the Rocky Mountain region, said Executive Director Claudia Moran.

This year, Museo will host a Day of the Dead celebration starting at 5 p.m. Nov. 3 at 861 Santa Fe Drive in Denver.

The free event will feature a community procession honoring loved ones from 6-7 p.m.

This procession is a collaborative effort between Museo, the Art District on Santa Fe, Chicano Humanities and Arts Council, and the Office of Councilwoman Jamie Torres, according to a news release.

The procession will commence in the parking lot of Su Teatro at 721 Santa Fe Drive around 5:45 p.m. and will head on a route that will conclude at Museo de las Américas.

The celebration will feature an altar, a dance performance, local vendors, sugar skull decorating and a Catrina costume contest.

Sheridan Library’s exhibition, community program

In addition to its community celebration, Museo de las Américas is recognizing Day of the Dead through its traveling exhibition that is on display at the Sheridan Library, located at 3425 W. Oxford Ave., until Nov. 5.

“The purpose of the exhibit is to use art and artifacts to explain the history and meaning of Día (de) los Muertos (Day of the Dead),” said Laura Beacom, the curator of collections at Museo.

Creating the Day of the Dead traveling exhibition was by demand, Beacom said. She started building it over the pandemic, and it was first displayed last year at a library in Wheat Ridge.

The objects on display are something people would not normally be able to see if not for the traveling exhibition, she said.

“It’s just really important for people to have artwork that reflects their own history and culture,” Beacom said. “And for people who don’t know anything about it, it’s important for them to be able to learn about it.”

It is important that Sheridan Library celebrates Day of the Dead because the Sheridan community is diverse and strongly Latine, said Kathleen Robertson, supervisor at Sheridan Library. Latine is a gender-neutral form of the word Latino.

“I think it’s important to hang on to cultural traditions,” Robertson said.

This year will be the second that the community group Sheridan Rising Together for Equity will host a Day of the Dead celebration at Sheridan Library.

DAY OF THE DEAD FROM PAGE 17

“We had never seen such a well-attended event at this library,” Robertson said about last year’s event.

This year’s celebration will include performances by dance groups, an exhibition of the altar of the dead, a Catrinas costume contest, and bread and hot chocolate.

The evolution of Day of the Dead

Day of the Dead has its origins in the rituals practiced by Indigenous peoples of the Americas, such as the Aztecs, according to The Mexican Museum.

Museo de las Américas said the Aztecs used skeletons as a tribute to the deity Mictecacihuatl, the goddess of death.

According to History.com, once the Spanish conquered the Aztec empire, the Catholic Church changed when the Indigenous celebrations honoring the dead occurred. This made the celebrations fall on the Catholic dates of Nov. 1, which is All Saints’ Day, and Nov. 2, which is All Souls’ Day. Claudia Moran, executive director at Museo, said that from her understanding, there are two primary areas in Mexico where Day of the Dead is celebrated in a very traditional way — Mexico City and the Mexican state of Michoacán.

Moran, who is from Guadalajara, Mexico, said she has visited Pátzcuaro, a city in Michoacán, many times, as her aunt lives there. There is a lake in the area that has cemeteries around it, she said.

People bring large amounts of flowers into the cemeteries where their loved ones are buried, creating beautiful displays. At night, people bring food and stay up late, sharing stories and reflecting.

“It’s just a moment to remember your loved ones who have already passed.

It’s a moment of reflection. It’s a moment of understanding,” Moran said.

When Moran visited the area as a young girl, the celebrations were smaller, she said.

“Now, it’s like you can barely get into the town,” she said, explaining tourists across the world come to see the celebration.

Day of the Dead celebrations have become more popular in the last 10-15 years, she said. She thinks part of the reason is due to movies such as the 2015 James Bond movie, “Spectre,” and the 2017 Disney movie, “Coco.”

She has even seen a change where she grew up in Guadalajara.

“When I was (a) little girl, you wouldn’t see anything around anywhere in the city, in Guadalajara. Now, you could go to cemeteries in Guadalajara.

Now, you can go to … all these celebrations in the little towns,” she said. “It’s a phenomenon.”

Elements of an ofrenda

An altar and its offerings — called an “ofrenda” in Spanish — are an invitation to deceased loved ones “to be with us in spirit and to share what they liked in life,” according to The Center on Colfax.

There are four basic elements needed in an ofrenda: earth, water, wind and fire.

Earth is represented with food. Sandra Zapata, director of youth services at The Center on Colfax, said it has to be food that the loved one liked and would want to come back for.

“Pan de muerto,” which means bread of the dead, is a sweet bread that often is part of an ofrenda, according to The Mexican Museum.

In addition to food, there is often salt and water, Zapata said.

“The nourishment itself — it’s because they’ve been through a long journey,” Zapata said. “We want them to feel celebrated and want (them) to be full.”

Wind is represented by the movement of objects such as “papel picado,” which is colorful tissue paper cut into designs.

“It’s very easy to break, and it’s a reminder that life itself is very easy to break and it’s very easy for us to lose it,” Zapata said about papel picado. “So, we have to be thankful and we have to be grateful that we are still here.”

Candles represent fire, offering light that is believed by some to help spirits find their way to meet their family and friends, according to The Center on Colfax.

Ofrendas also often have incense and an arch, representing the gateway be-

tween the two worlds, Zapata said.

Sugar skulls symbolize loved ones who have passed away, according to The Mexican Museum. Sometimes, they have the name of the deceased person inscribed on the forehead.

Flowers called “cempasúchil,” or marigolds, are always on ofrendas, Zapata said.

“That’s a very big representation of this time of year when these flowers bloom and we can use them to bring beauty into the space,” they said.

Photos of loved ones are also placed on ofrendas, Zapata said.

Not a ‘Mexican Halloween’

For people interested in celebrating Day of the Dead for the first time, Zapata said it is important to look at the traditions and be mindful of honoring the holiday.

“Sometimes, it gets almost, like, tangled in Halloween. And those two things are so different,” Zapata said. “I just want to make sure that folks are mindful of what our traditions are versus something like Halloween, which is not culturally relevant to Day of the Dead just because it’s a different tradition, and it’s a different type of celebration.”

In the City of Thornton, Alisa Zimmerman said the city tries its best to make sure its event is not looked at as a Mexican Halloween.

“We purposefully don’t schedule it on the same weekend or near Halloween,” Zimmerman said.

“And that’s worked well for us because then people know that it’s actually focused strictly on this holiday — remembering people’s deceased friends and relatives.”

Claudia Moran, of Museo de las Américas, said it is important that people research the holiday.

“It is a very unique type of celebration,” she said. “You cannot compare it with anything else.”

“It’s actually a culmination of a lot of traditions that have been combined going back hundreds of years,” Beacom said.

Beacom said she likes that Day of the Dead reminds people that death is part of life.

“It’s not to be feared,” she said. “The nature of love in our souls is eternal, and the material world and the spiritual world … exist at the same place, at the same time.”

Zapata’s favorite part of Day of the Dead is hearing people’s stories about the people they have loved and lost.

“There’s such a connection in telling stories and telling other people’s stories and making sure that the folks that maybe have passed are not forgotten,” Zapata said. “Passing those traditions of talking about the people that we love kind of keeps them around longer, even if other folks didn’t meet them. It’s about the history that we don’t want to forget about.”

Securing the grid

I

n our politically fractured country have you ever wondered if there are any issues that Democrats and Republicans can work on together for the common good of all citizens? Naturally, such an issue should benefit all citizens as stakeholders.

There is such an issue currently, preserving and securing our electric grid.

The electric grid quite frankly is the lifeblood of our society.

Modern conveniences that we all enjoy from the internet to basic utilities are possible because of the electric grid operating. When I state that it must be preserved and secured that is because life in Colorado is pretty darn good and it should remain that way. Any disaster whether man-made like hacking or deliberate sabotage can cause the grid to go down.

Nature-related problems like so-

lar flares could accomplish the same thing. Regardless if the grid does go down the results would be calamitous. Life as we know it in 2023 Colorado would come to a halt. An illustration might Columnist serve this problem best. Imagine the inconvenience you suffer from a three or four halt to power. Now imagine the same inconvenience if it lasts weeks, months or even permanently.

Here is the good news. This problem is very much fixable.

Comparatively speaking it does not even cost that much money to accomplish. Some I have heard estimate four to six billion dollars.

State government and local gov-

ernments can achieve that vital goal easily, especially with private-sector partnerships.

Rural areas of our state are remote they are a greater risk for calamity than urban areas from the grid going down. The solution for those rural areas would be microgrids that operate in small areas. Larger urban areas need to have their part of the grid secured so that it does not go down regardless of what event may bring strain to the grid. Regardless of where you reside in Colorado grid security is important.

In an age where hostile intent is an unfortunate reality of modern life preserving and securing the grid is important. This should be a non-partisan issue since everyone benefits from the grid.

The grid I may note is one of those hidden blessings in modern life that accomplishes many

things in a quiet manner.

If the grid is so important for everyone may I suggest a bit of citizen action? Write to your legislators and to Gov. Polis urging them to take action to save our grid. Do not forget to inform local government officials like County Commissioners, Mayors and City Councils. Make sure state and local officials finish the job re: the grid. Write to the Public Service Commission asking them for more information about this crucially important subject for all of us. Finally, tell your friends and neighbors about the grid and why it needs to be secured and saved.

Urge them to get involved for everyone’s sake. This is something that is important for all of Colorado.

For second year, domestic violence deaths in Colorado reach all-time high

BY OLIVIA PRENTZEL THE COLORADO SUN

At least 94 people, from 8 months to 61 years old, died in Colorado in 2022 as a result of domestic violence, according to a report released by the Attorney General’s Office.

It was the second time in two years that the number of domestic violence fatalities set an all-time high in Colorado, exceeding the previous record of 91.

At least 39 people were killed last year by their current or former intimate partners and 22 were bystanders, such as family members, coworkers or neighbors who were with the victim or tried to intervene, the report said.

The number of fatalities was nearly 1.5 times higher than the average number of deaths in the state since 2016, when the Colorado Domestic Violence Fatality Review

Board began tracking them.

The number of bystanders killed was “extraordinarily high” compared with years past, showing the threat extends beyond domestic violence victims and into the community, the Attorney General’s Office said.

Among the deaths were six children under the age of 16, including a 5-year-old who was sleeping in an apartment when a fire was set nearby in a domestic dispute. The five other children died from gunshot wounds after separate attacks, the report said.

Two police officers were also shot to death when responding to domestic violence incidents, the report said.

The report is a “sobering reminder” of the work needed to combat domestic violence across the state, Attorney General Phil Weiser said in a news release. “The numbers are alarming and should catalyze

action. This report provides a stark reminder that domestic violence continues to be a serious threat, primarily to women, and all Coloradans must work toward greater gender equality and more robust efforts to prevent domestic violence.”

The board, which was set up to review data and make policy recommendations, suggested a wider use of assessment tools in organizations that work directly with domestic violence survivors to better help adults and children who are affected by domestic violence and understand the safety risks. The board also recommended developing a pilot program through the Colorado Bureau of Investigation that would foster a relationship between prosecutors, law enforcement and the defense bar to help ensure Colorado’s firearm relinquishment statutes are enforced, the report said.

There’s also a need for more collaboration between the state’s Maternal Mortality Prevention Program, Child Fatality Review Baord and the Office of Suicide Prevention, the report said, noting the intersection between each entity’s work and the potential to analyze domestic violence fatalities in a more comprehensive way.

Consistent with previous reports, firearms were the leading cause of death among domestic violence fatalities in 2022, accounting for 86% of deaths. Ninety-seven percent of the victims were female and 95% of the perpetrators were male.

St. Mary’s Glacier near Idaho Springs and others around Mountain West dripping away

BY EMMA VANDENEINDE KUNC

A new study from Portland State University suggests that some of the Mountain West’s most famous glaciers do not qualify as glaciers anymore.

This study defines a glacier as being present for more than 20 years, having an area of at least two football fields (or 0.01 square kilometers), and showing signs of movement. Without these, it’s just a perennial snowpack or a pile of rocks.

“If we saw crevasses, then we knew it was moving because cracks develop when the ice stresses and strains, said Andrew Fountain, professor emeritus at the university and one of the study’s authors. “Even though the glaciers might have snow, the one that doesn’t move is a snow patch or an ice patch, and the other with crevasses is by definition

According to new research, St. Mary’s Glacier in Colorado is too small and does not meet the 0.01 square kilometer threshold to PHOTO BY EMMA VANDENEINDE KUNC be classified as a glacier.

a glacier.”

Researchers looked at U.S. Department of Agriculture aerial photos taken from 2013 to 2020 of about 4,000 areas, according to Fountain.

They were only able to classify around 1,300 areas as glaciers and 1,200 areas as perennial snowpacks.

St. Mary’s Glacier near Idaho Springs in Clear Creek County, Colorado, is too small and does not meet the 0.01 square kilometer threshold. Taylor Glacier in Rocky Mountain National Park is too rocky and does not have enough snow coverage to be a glacier. Isabelle, Moomaw and Peck Glaciers were all deemed perennial snowpacks.

Other well-known glaciers that didn’t make the cut in the Mountain West were Petersen Glacier in Wyoming and the Grasshopper Glacier in Montana. They don’t believe Idaho has any glaciers.

Their findings were published in Earth System Science Data last month.

Before this study, several paper topographical maps categorized areas as glaciers, but modern satellites and aerial photography hadn’t been used to track changes to them.

Some of these maps were more than 30 years old.

“Glaciers in the western U.S. never had really been properly inventoried,” Fountain said. “As we know, glaciers have changed a lot since then (in 30 years).”

Researchers believe these glaciers are shrinking due to global warming – and possibly wildfires. Additionally, caverns in the glacier created by streamflow underneath can let sunlight in and melt the glacier.

“Smaller glaciers don’t do as well, don’t add as much water,” he said.

“As glaciers shrink, these streams then become more and more susceptible to drought, as well as the surrounding riparian areas and adjacent landscapes, which changes the ecology in these high alpine areas.”

One solution could be artificial glaciers made by underground pipes that spray like fountains and freeze into a cone shape, which slows the melting. Another is glacier covers, usually made of plastics and fleece, to help insulate a glacier and block the sun.

Fountain said that these “stopgap measure[s]” are “not going to be of practical value” for the West.

Instead, he wants people to focus on getting rid of the carbon dioxide to help slow global warming.

Despite this, there’s good news.

Some glaciers have endured due to their positioning away from the sun and extra shade coming from the shadow of nearby mountains – and if they get more snow than expected, that’s even better. Andrews Glacier in Colorado came to mind as an example.

“Those glaciers in those nice little basins having additional snow either by wind drift, travel, entering, sort of become climate insensitive because these other effects are kind of keeping that glacier intact,” he said. “All of the glaciers, I think, in the front range should be gone by now, except these additional processes that keep them alive.”

For his next research project, Fountain is trying to quantify how much water and ice has been lost.

board meeting space and the school board election space as a place to mobilize,” Jonathan Collins, assistant professor of political science, public policy and education at Brown University, said last week during a virtual panel hosted by The Colorado Sun and Chalkbeat Colorado.

“The biggest thing now is that these partisan cleavages, these ideological cleavages — whether you’re a liberal or conservative, a Democrat or Republican — that matters in a way that it hadn’t mattered before.”

Politically charged disputes among adults are having far-reaching impacts on classrooms, Collins added, pointing to “massive learning loss” with kids falling months behind and droves of teachers, administrators and school board members stepping down throughout the pandemic and contentious politics.

local level and seeped into many school board rooms, with tensions between board members and parents erupting into loud shouting matches and igniting protests.

The disputes have increasingly taken on a partisan tone, beginning with sharp political divides over how schools handled students’ health and safety during the pandemic, with Republicans overwhelmingly opposing mask mandates and school closures and Democrats broadly supporting them. Disagreements over mask mandates and extensions of remote learning in particular drove a wedge between communities, setting the stage for broader fights once pandemic restrictions eased. The fissures have only deepened amid clashes over how schools should address gender identity and race.

Across the country, “people with very strong ideological and partisan attachments are finding the school

As a first-time candidate for school board in Colorado Springs, longtime teacher Jill Haffley says she wants “political agendas” out of schools.

In her view, that means teachers should choose which pronouns to use with students; that transgender female students be banned from girls sports; that sex education be abstinence-based; and that students learn the U.S. “is not systemically and fundamentally racist,” according to her responses in a voter guide from Transform Colorado, a group that says it “unites Christian leaders to restore biblical values in the public square.”

Those hot-button issues have defined an increasingly contentious race in Colorado Springs School District 11, where 10 candidates are battling for four seats, including opposing slates of candidates that generally break down along partisan lines.

School board races in Colorado and across the country — particularly during off-year elections — have for many years been among

the quietest. Struggles even finding candidates to run in some communities coupled with low voter turnout made contests almost an afterthought in many parts of the state.

But a surge of school board candidates in many Colorado districts this year, together with a flood of spending on races, have put school board elections into hot contention, often fueled by hyperpartisan battles over lesson plans, library offerings and how schools address gender and race. This year, nearly 600 school board candidates have filed with the Secretary of State’s Office, compared with only about 100 four years ago.

A Colorado Sun analysis identified nearly $2 million in candidate fundraising statewide through Oct. 11, slightly less than the $2.2 million raised during a similar period two years ago. But this is the first year candidates cannot take unlimited donations. A 2022 law limits individuals to $2,500 donations to candidates and small donor groups to $25,000 per candidate.

The buzz around school board elections in many districts coincides with a sense of national political division that has trickled down to the

“Good people are leaving our schools, and really good, promising kids are being left behind in our schools,” he said.

Among the Colorado districts facing political divisions is Colorado Springs School District 11, where a group of conservative candidates took over the board during the 2021 election, Colorado Public Radio reported.

Over the past two years, the board has made controversial decisions, with the new conservative majority forcing out Superintendent Michael Thomas and closing the district’s department of equity and inclusion, according to reporting by The Gazette and The Colorado Springs Business Journal.

November 2, 2023No didates among the 10 who are running this year say they are united on “shared values,” primarily academic outcomes, said first-time candidate Thomas Carey, an unaffiliated voter.

The group also includes Haffley, a Republican who describes herself as “a constitutional conservative,” as well as incumbents Parth Melpakam, also an unaffiliated voter, and Jason Jorgenson, a Republican. The four are backed by $100,000 in digital ad spending by Springs Opportunity Fund, a conservative local super PAC linked to a dark-money group.

All four candidates indicated in a school board voter guide by Transform Colorado that they believe teachers should decide what pronouns to use with students, transgender girls should not be allowed on girls’ sports teams, sex education should focus on abstinence and that students should not be “taught that people are automatically privileged or oppressed based on their race or

skin color.”

Transform Colorado is a Christian group funded by the Truth and Liberty Coalition, a part of Andrew Wommack Ministries, which is based in Woodland Park and brought in more than $49 million in 2020, according to tax filings.

Haffley, who blames teachers for injecting “personal agendas” and biases into the classroom, says she wants to put parents in the driver’s seat of their child’s education — echoing language used by other conservatives mounting runs for office. The retired teacher, who spent 30 years in classrooms, said she has personally seen “teachers put forth their own choices for who they were voting for” during election years.

“I think people try to insert political agendas where they can in just their general life, and I really want to keep politics out of education as much as possible,” said Haffley, who taught history and government in D11.

“We’re there to teach reading, writing, math, English, science, history, vocational education, the arts, music, those things. And I don’t think political agendas have any business being in a public school.”

Meanwhile, the Colorado Education Association is endorsing a competing group of D11 candidates: Darleen Daniels, Shay Dabney, Rachel Paul — all registered Democrats — and Kate Singh, an unaffiliated voter.

A super PAC affiliated with the Colorado Education Association is airing TV ads on their behalf.

Those candidates either did not respond or refused to answer questions in Transform Colorado’s school board voter guide.

Daniels, an incumbent candidate, has been part of a transition in board dynamics. Before 2021, when the board flipped, she said board matters were considered “boring,” with runof-the-mill agenda items devoted to the district budget and technology.

In a phone interview, Daniels called politically fueled decisions “distractions” that drive the school board from its main purpose to serve kids.

“The community wants the politics out of the schools,” she said.

“They want to get back to the basics of educating their kids … and making sure that they’re safe and have stable learning environments.”

Cherry Creek School District has also been a lightning rod for political confrontations in recent years.

Earlier this month, activists falsely

accused the metro Denver district of including pornographic books in its library collection for elementary schoolers, which sparked a threat against several district schools, according to reporting by Colorado Community Media.

This year’s race features five candidates among three seats, including Scott Graves and Steve McKenna, who are running together in a slate.

Both men are registered Republicans, but they say their united campaigns don’t include a partisan element.

Still, Graves is concerned about politics influencing what and how students learn, as well as teachers’ instruction time being pinched by other duties, such as addressing students’ mental health and emotional needs.

“Social and emotional wellness is really, really important to a child’s education,” said Graves, a former educator and a father of five sons, four of whom struggle with mental health challenges. “A child cannot be successful if they’re feeling massive anxiety. Having said that, to ask teachers, specifically classroom teachers, to track that, to try to measure that, to be involved in that, it’s just out of their wheelhouse.”

Ruthie Knowles, an uncontested board candidate in Cherry Creek and a registered Democrat, noted that all five board candidates in her school district have political affiliations, with two Republicans and three Democrats.

Knowles has received some support and campaign mentoring from Arapahoe County Democrats. “Everyone’s just trying to mobilize and help where they can,” she said, “and if you find people with shared values, then you’re sort of like, sure, let’s connect on this journey to get elected.”

Conservative and progressive community organizations are also energizing school board races, rallying people to run for seats and training them for board roles, said Carrie Sampson, an associate professor in the Division of Educational Leadership and Innovation at Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College at Arizona State University.

“There’s certainly a conservative playbook to target local districts,” Sampson said. “And at the same time, I think progressive, liberal organizations are seeing this playbook and trying to create their own type of playbook.”

Conservative nonprofit Moms for Liberty has amplified its involvement in Colorado school board races this election cycle, mostly through endorsements and organizing. The organization, which has canvassed and called voters and held neighborhood meet-and-greets for candidates and residents, has been a vocal proponent of giving parents more control over what happens in schools — a major priority underpinning their support of Colorado candidates.

“The children are not (schools’) property to deal with and to raise from 4 years old until 18 years old,” said Christina Galloway, chapter chair in Larimer County, one of six Colorado chapters. “That is the parent’s responsibility.”

Galloway, who teaches Spanish at a Fort Collins charter school, Colorado Early Colleges, said she has been fed up with public schools tackling topics that she believes fall under the purview of parents, including teaching about gender, race and socialemotional skills.

Galloway added that Moms for Liberty has been particularly troubled by current school board members “shutting out parents,” holding meetings at inconvenient times of the day for parents and limiting parents to 30 seconds of public comment. That’s why the nonprofit is actively behind candidates who want to reinsert parents into their child’s education, Galloway said.

The Colorado Parent Advocacy Network, another conservative statewide group, is encouraging more people to consider running for school boards “so that more voices can have a seat at the table,” said cofounder and executive director Lori Gimelshteyn.

“We know that current incumbents that are serving on school boards across the state have not actively worked to get our students back to being at grade-level proficiency, that they’re not being transparent with the parents and communities they serve,” Gimelshteyn said.

She denies that politics are shaping school boards and their decisions, saying the educational issues at the center of debates are not partisan and that “we need to move away from labels.”

However, the Colorado Parent Advocacy Network earlier this month collaborated with a religious arm of the conservative grassroots nonprofit Turning Point USA as part of the group of activists who falsely accused Cherry Creek School District of making titles including “Gender Queer” and “All Boys Aren’t Blue” available to elementary school kids.

Groups opposing the conservative candidates are also active. The Colorado Education Association has a list of endorsements for candidates it says are “pro-public-education school board candidates who are committed to the success of students and educators.”

And the Colorado Democratic Party launched a get-out-the-vote campaign targeting 100,000 voters who don’t often participate in off-year elections, including school board races in Woodland Park, and Garfield and Douglas counties.

“The far right has a huge majority of school boards, a huge majority of municipal seats,” said Colorado Democratic Party Chairman Shad Murib. “I see local races that are nonpartisan or the partisan county races as critically important to scale up to doing things like reelecting your (U.S. Rep.) Yadira Caraveo or defeating (U.S. Rep.) Lauren Boebert.”

The Colorado GOP hasn’t announced any similar efforts.

ity Leader, state treasurer and Burlington School District RE-6J school board member Mark Hillman can’t pinpoint why a flurry of new school board candidates has jumped onto the local ballot. Hillman recalls school board elections repeatedly drawing no more than one candidate per seat. During one election year, he said the board had to appoint a member because there simply weren’t enough candidates.

This fall, 11 candidates are vying for four seats in the eastern Colorado district, which last year had 762 students.

The political infighting over school curriculum and standards has not found its way into Burlington, Hillman noted. And even with an influx of board candidates this year, the race remains “a very typical small town election” where “you hope that people think enough of you to vote for you,” he said. He hasn’t seen any candidates plant campaign signs in local yards. And none of the candidates report raising any money.

Brandi Baquera, an incumbent candidate in Burlington, is happy to see more people interested in joining the school board. She said the board has largely side-stepped some of the politically charged issues that have roiled board members and parents in other districts, including gender roles and critical race theory. However, the board did recently approve a social-emotional learning curriculum for middle schoolers.

“We trust our administrators and our teachers to do what’s best for our children,” Baquera said. “What we’re focusing on is just giving kids the tools that they need to be able to get through life and deal with anxiety and deal with emotions and deal with depression and different things like that.”

In Holyoke, 14 people are running for six seats in district Re-1J and nine are running for five seats on the Re-2J board in Haxtun.

That’s unusual, said Beth Zilla, who has worked in the Phillips County

clerk’s office since 1999, serving as the elected clerk and recorder since 2003. The county of 4,500 people where Holyoke and Haxtun are located is in northeastern Colorado bordering Nebraska.

“There’s never been many” candidates, Zilla said. “Maybe like four different candidates for two positions.”

Mitchell Kleve, a libertarian candidate for school board in Holyoke, said his community has “slept on” the board during the past few years and he’s glad to see more people willing to run for a seat and serve local kids.

The first-time board candidate said he is keeping his personal politics out of his campaigning. However, some of his top priorities for the school district, such as school safety, tie directly to politically motivated issues that have inflamed many parts of the state and country.

Kleve, a Holyoke graduate, believes the district should seriously consider arming teachers in classrooms if they are willing and trained.

“We don’t want to make our schools seem like a prison with metal detectors and everything like that,” he said, “but at the same time we want everyone to feel safe.”

But the candidates in the crowded Phillips County contests have spent less than $800 total thus far.

That isn’t the case in other contests.

Candidates in 42 districts have raised nearly $2 million through Oct. 11, with 15 districts accounting for 85% of that money.

Nearly a dozen super PACs have spent almost $1.2 million according to reports filed as of deadline in mid-October. Unlike two years ago, only a fraction of the money — about $324,000 — is aimed at Denver Public Schools contests.

Colorado Springs 11 and Woodland Park are among the top targets thus far. And outside spenders have plenty of time left to try to influence voters before the Nov. 7 election.

Students Deserve Better, a committee backed by $400,000 from a nonprofit affiliated with the Colorado Education Association, is spending $77,000 on TV ads supporting Daniels, Dabney, Paul and Singh.

Springs Opportunity Fund is spending $100,000 on digital ads supporting conservatives Carey, Haffley, Jorgenson and Melpakam. That super PAC received $250,000 from Colorado Dawn, a conservative dark-money nonprofit that doesn’t disclose its donors. Colorado Dawn has spent nearly $2.6 million since May 2022 supporting Republican super PACs and issue committees.

Woodland Park, a town of about 8,000 in the mountains west of Colorado Springs, is also drawing plenty of attention — and money.

More than 80 teachers and staff banded together this fall with a public letter criticizing sweeping changes approved by the conservative board and raising concerns about a mass exodus of teachers and a “culture of fear and silence.” Three incumbents and three challengers are vying for three seats.

Students Deserve Better and Better Schools for a Stronger Colorado have spent nearly $28,000 sup-

porting Woodland Park challengers Keegan Barkley, Seth Bryant and Mike Knott. Better Schools is funded by Oklahoma philanthropist Lynn Schusterman and Stand for Children, a national nonprofit funded by a variety of foundations and other nonprofits.

Citizens for a Vibrant Woodland Park has spent nearly $14,000 opposing those three and supporting incumbents David Illingworth, Cassie Kimbrell and Mick Bates. The group has received nearly $33,000 from Western Prosperity Alliance, a Centennial-based nonprofit created in June.

The group originally had the same Colorado Springs address as political consultant Patrick Davis and its documents were filed by former Secretary of State Scott Gessler, a Republican. The address and registered agent were later changed.

Thus far in Cherry Creek, Inspiring Excellence has spent $63,000 to support incumbents Egan and Garland and oppose McKenna and Graves.

No. 2 Columbine football finishes the regular season a perfect 10-0

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — An early defensive touchdown set the tone early in the annual Chatfield versus Columbine football rivalry Friday night at Jeffco Stadium.

Columbine senior Spencer Houle hit Chatfield quarterback Jake Jones from the blindside just as Jones was trying to get a pass off midway through the first quarter.

The ball popped up in the air and senior defensive lineman Allen Pham was right there to grab it in mid-air and return it 30 yards for a touchdown.

“I wasn’t expecting to be unblocked,” Houle said of the biggest defensive play of the game in the eventual 35-14 victory for Columbine. “I came out the back side and just saw him (Jones). I punched the ball out and saw my teammate (Pham) running it in for a touchdown.”

The defensive score gave the Rebels a 14-0 lead 6:44 left the first quarter. Columbine — No. 2 in the 5A Colorado Preps Select Media Football Poll — never trailed against cross-town rival Chatfield in the regular-season and league finale.

“That was awesome and Allen Pham picking it up to score,” Columbine Andy Lowry said of the defensive touchdown midway through the first quarter to make it a 14-point lead for the Rebels.

“That was huge.”

The Rebels’ victory clinched the coveted conference title that Ralston Valley won last year.

“This is great after last year losing to Ralston Valley,” Houle said of the league championship returning to Columbine. “This feels great.”

Columbine (10-0, 5-0 in 5A Jeffco) also had its starting quarterback back on the field to help return the league title back to Columbine High School. Senior Reeve

Columbine senior Allen Pham (51) races toward the endzone on a 30-yard fumble recovery during the first quarter against Chatfield on Friday, Oct. 27, at Jeffco Stadium. The Rebels defeated rival Chatfield 35-14 to finish the regular season 10-0 PHOTO BY DENNIS PLEUSS / JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS and win the Class 5A Jeffco League title.

Holliday has missed the pervious three games after having an emergency appendectomy leading up to the league game against No. 4 Ralston Valley on Oct. 6.

“It was a lot of fun to be back,” Holliday said.

Holliday engineered a 6-play, 80-yard touchdown on the opening drive of the game. The drive finished with a 2-yard touchdown pass from Holliday to junior James Basinger on a fourth-down play to give the Rebels a 7-0 lead.

Holliday had a handful of key completions on third downs to

keep drives alive. He had a 32-yard touchdown pass to senior Hunter Hamilton in the third quarter that pushed Columbine’s lead to 28-7.

“When our run game gets shutdown we obviously need to make some plays,” Holliday said. “I’ve got to make some plays for our guys. It was nice that I was able to step up for those guys.”

Columbine senior running back Mason Moreno had a pair of short touchdown runs to cap off drives for the Rebels. Senior Josh Snyder had a strong game that included a 73-yard run on the opening drive.

“Our guys played hard tonight,” Lowry said. “They blocked hard, ran hard and the defense played great. We held them to basically seven points except for that kickoff return.”

Chatfield (5-5, 3-2) got on the scoreboard on the opening kickoff of the second half after trailing 210. Senior Dagan Myers had incredible 88-yard return for the score 15 seconds into the second quarter.

However, Columbine answered with Holliday’s touchdown pass to Hamilton. Chatfield did get a 11-yard touchdown run by senior Landon Mueller early in the fourth quarter to make it a 28-14 game.

Columbine responded again with a signature Rebel scoring drive going 71 yards on 11 straight running plays.

Columbine completely dominated Chatfield 56-0 in their last meeting, the regular-season finale for both teams a year ago at Jeffco Stadium. The Rebels rushed for more than 350 yards on the ground and had eight rushing touchdowns.

The 21-point victory gives the Rebels plenty of momentum going into the postseason.

The bracket for the 5A state tournament is scheduled to be released

by CHSAA on Sunday, Oct. 29. Columbine — No. 4 in the CHSAA Selection and Seeding Index before games Friday night — is expected to get a top-8 seed and first-round bye.

“We aren’t going to take this (bye) week lightly,” Holliday said.

“We still need to get better. We need to be a great team going into playoffs for us to go after that state championship.”

Chatfield was No. 12 in the seeding index and still should get a home game in the first round that beings next week.

No. 4 Ralston Valley football rallies from halftime deficit against rival A-West ARVADA — Rivalry games can be interesting and unpredictable.

“In rivalry games records don’t matter. Nothing matters,” Ralston Valley coach Jared Yannacito said after his No. 4 ranked Mustangs faced crosstown rival Arvada West. “(A-West) played a tremendous game. Again we faced adversity, but I’m super proud of how they responded.”

Ralston Valley responded by scoring 17 unanswered points in the second half to take a 27-14 victory Thursday night at the North Area Athletic Complex. It was the regular-season finale for both squad that more than likely will make the 24-team field of the Class 5A state tournament.

“Coming into it we knew is was going to be a battle. That is just how rivalry games go,” Ralston Valley senior Jackson Hansen said. “We regrouped in the locker room at halftime. We stuck together and came away with the win.”

A-West (5-5, 2-3 in 5A Jeffco) held a 14-10 halftime lead. The Wildcats got a pair of touchdown passes from sophomore quarterback Logan Duhachek to give A-West the lead over the Mustangs (8-2, 4-1).

Duhachek hit sophomore Noah Meurer for an 8-yard touchdown with 5:30 left before halftime. The sophomore signal-caller orchestrated a 2-minute drive to perfection throwing a 26-yard touchdown to sophomore Ayden Garcia with 4.8 seconds left before halftime to put the Wildcats up 14-10 at the break. “(A-West) had a good game plan and we adjusted at halftime,” Ralston Valley senior quarter Logan Madden said. “We came out and got it done.”

The Mustangs struck quickly with Hansen taking a slip screen pass from Madden 70 yards to the end zone in the first minute of the third quarter to give the lead back to Ralston Valley 17-14.

“We always want to come out strong in the third quarter. Especially after not having a very good first half,” Hansen said. “I had great blocks on the first touchdown.”

Hansen came up big again early in the fourth quarter to push the lead to 24-14 on a 15-yard touchdown catch on a fourth-down play.

“Those two together made a big play together when it is needed,” Yannacito said of Madden and Hansen who have connected for 13 touchdowns as a tandem this season. “They have done it forever from little league until

high school. They make clutch plays when they need to no matter how the game is going.”

Ralston Valley sophomore kicker Cole Pfeifer kicked his second field goal of the game to put the Mustangs up 27-14 with less than 2 minutes to play. Senior safety Jacob LaBarbera sealed the win with his second interception of the night on the final play of the game.

LaBarbera actually had the Mustangs lone touchdown in the first half with a defensive score. A-West sophomore running back Jaiden Green had a nice run near midfield, but senior Jack Wagner put a big hit on Green to pop the ball loose.

“That was crazy. Jack Wagner punched the ball out with his helmet and it was right there for me,” LaBarera said of his 48-yard fumble return for a touchdown with 1:35 left in the first quarter. “I was just blank when I got that ball. I just had to score.”

Ralston Valley finished the regular season on a 3-game winning streak after its lone league loss to No. 2 Columbine (9-0, 4-0) back on Oct. 6. The Mustangs will likely get a top-8 seed for the state tournament that will give Ralston Valley a bye next week and host a second-round game the following week at NAAC. “You get healthy and we want to stay mentally sharp,” Yannacito said of treating the likely bye with a top-8 seed. “We’ll really focus this week on what we need to do to get better.”

after the loss. The Wildcats will make the state tournament and could be a tough team to handle next week despite being a lower seed.

“Give props to Arvada West. They had a great game plan, but we fight.

We fight to the end,” Hansen said. “It worked out today.”
