Anythink installations aim to bring nature closer Architectural artist Jayson Fann wrapping up work on new explorable spaces BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The new art structures at the back of three of Anythink Library’s branches may be made from vastly different kinds of wood but they share one thing - a sense of wonder with natural patterns. “Each kind of wood has its own vocabulary in terms of how it moves and the kinds of things you can do with it,” Artist Jayson Fann said. “Eucalyptus saplings are very flexible when they are green. You can bend them and shape them and when they dry, they dry rock hard.” Fann is wrapping up the first part of his summer Spirit Nest residency at the library district, building three different wooden sculptures meant to be climbed on and explored at the Brighton, Wrights Farm and Bennett library branches. At least three more of his works are in progress, all part of the library district’s “mySummer” program. The idea for the library district’s summer program began last fall while the state was still in the midst of the COVID-19 shutdown and pandemic quarantines. McGowan said Anythink staff begins planning the next summer’s reading program each September, and September 2020 presented some challenges for them. “Last year, with the pandemic, we gave out more of an activity kit and that was very popular,” McGowan said. “This year, our intention was to have a connection to nature and art in a way that was different. We didn’t know what was going to happen but we wanted to focus on getting outside.” Anythink has hosted dozens of back-to-nature programs, she said. “But it’s one thing to bring birds

and stuff and science to the library,” she said. “What we wanted to build that moment of wonder and recovery and healing and the connection to nature that you get walking in nature, as opposed to learning about rocks and whatnot.” She said they were intrigued by Fann and his previous works. “We found we had similar ideas,” she said. “He’s worked with other groups around the country that believe in play and ecosystems. And so, we hired him, and the experience now is becoming part of the creative process.” Fann’s works will become permanent features at the library

Then, he’ll return to his California studio and return in a few months with pieces for the Commerce City and Huron Street branches. He also has plans to build a mobile version that library staff can take to special community events.

Veteran Colo. journalist Linda Shapley named publisher STAFF REPORT

The new owners of Colorado Community Media have named Linda Shapley the news company’s publisher. Shapley, a lifelong Coloradan, has been a senior news executive at The Denver Post and Colorado Politics magazine in a career in print and digital news and communication spanning more than 30 years. She will lead CCM’s two-dozen Colorado newspapers and websites, including this one, as well as other publications as the company’s first publisher since the May announcement of its sale by Jerry and Ann Healey to The Colorado News Conservancy, a partnership of The Colorado Sun and the National Trust for Local News dedicated to fostering community journalism. CCM newspapers servce Adams, Arapahoe, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Jefferson and Weld

counties. “I am excited and honored to be assuming this role, especially during such a critical time in our industry,” Shapley said. “Anyone who knows me knows I am Shapley an ardent supporter of local news, and my main goal is to tirelessly work at building a team that strengthens the bond a community has with its newspaper.” Shapley has been managing editor of Colorado Politics, affiliated with the Colorado Springs Gazette and Denver Gazette, since October 2019. Before that she was customer experience director at communications company Deke Digital and managing editor of The Denver Post, overseeing news operations and coverage. Larry Ryckman, co-founder and editor of The Colorado Sun, said he was excited to be able to work with his former Post colleague

again. Ryckman noted that Shapley “worked in many different roles and departments during her time at The Post and oversaw print production for news events large and small. She also led The Post’s community engagement initiative along with other operational duties.” Prior to The Post, Shapley worked at The Kansas City Star, the Greeley Tribune and the Fort Worth StarTelegram. She is a Colorado State University graduate and a former vice president of the Denver Press Club. Elizabeth Hansen Shapiro, CEO of the National Trust for Local News and a Colorado News Conservancy board member, said CCM’s owners “conducted an extensive, thorough search, and a number of highly qualified applicants expressed interest in the position. In Linda we found an experienced leader with a combination of strong newsroom chops, organizational skills and budgeting

acumen. She’s a great listener, has boundless energy and is passionate about community news. On top of all that, she is a lifelong Coloradan with deep roots in Weld County.” Shapley joins CCM on Aug. 23.

Adams County Fair back, but not as usual BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The 116th version of the Adams County Fair is going to be a little different just because it follows 2020. “Yeah, life has changed dramatically,” said Casandra Vossler, Adams County fair and special event’s manager. “It’s been an interesting

year, not just for this industry but for the world at large. There are staffing shortages, supply shortages. It’s been crazy.” COVID-19 convinced Adams County to close down the bulk of the fair’s events in 2020. Only the 4H animal and crop contests went forward last year. “We were lucky enough that a lot of the artists and vendors that we’d

planned to have in 2020 just rolled things forward to 2021,” Vossler said. “But what we thought would be a really easy year to plan wasn’t that easy.” A number of contractors and performers the fair wanted to bring in this year waited to confirm their appearances until the last couple of weeks. “There wouldn’t commit because Colorado was a state that closed down last year,” Vossler said. “There were states that didn’t close down and they were able to work there. But they wouldn’t commit to us right away until they knew for sure we were going to be open.” The event stages a big 2021 comeback beginning Aug. 4, with two different rodeo events, plenty of live music and fun. There will be changes, however. “We have big acts and band coming in, but the overall feeling that has us excited is getting to bring the community back together after last year,” she said. The children’s area will see some of the biggest changes, Vossler said. Previous fairs have featured bouncy houses and activities meant to get kids together to play. “We are still having the Kids Zone but it is more of a stage area than anything else,” she said. “The typical Kids Zone had bouncy houses and paddleboards. With kids being vaccinated, it became a safety issue. So we downsized that area and now have more ground acts and more stage acts to entertain the kids, rather than make them jump around on each other.” Those ground acts include stilt walkers the Animal Cracker Conspiracy and the Great Dubois flying trapeze acrobats. Bi-lingual performer Twinkle will also offer regular performances the kids’ area. All events will be hosted at the Riverdale Regional Park, 9755 Henderson Road in Brighton. The fair runs through Aug. 8. Rodeo and music Country performer Michael Ray

will take the Grandstand Stage at 8 p.m. Aug. 4, featuring free admission. The traditional rodeo portion kicks off at 5 p.m. Aug. 5 with a concert by the Eli Young Band, and special guests the Junebugs. The evening also features the Professional Bull Riders contest. Tickets for the concert are $10 for the concert alone or $14 for both the concert and the bull riding. Special VIP tickets cost $75 and include two drink tickets, snacks, private restrooms a cash bar and corral-side seating to watch the bull riding. Events continue Aug. 6 with a Demolition Derby — tickets are $20 per adult, $10 per child — and Aug. 7 with a daylong cornhole tournament. Sunday will be the biggest day of the fair with the Dia de La Familia and a Mexican Charreada rodeo. “We have three bands coming for that and that’s different for us,” she said. “We normally have one act, and they are pretty big acts.” Tickets for the Charreada will be $20 for adults, $15 for children and $75 for VIPs. “We are pretty excited. The overall feeling for my staff and, I think, the county as a whole is that we are excited to bring the community back together after such a tough year.” Tickets to all the events can be purchased online at adamscountyfair.com or in person at Riverdale Regional Park. Parking Parking at Riverdale Regional Park is $10 per vehicle and spaces are limited. The county offers free off-site parking at Prairie View High School, 12909 E. 120th Ave. in Brighton and Riverdale Ridge High School, 13380 Yosemite St. and Shadow Ridge Middle School, 12551 Holly St. in Thornton. Shuttles will run between those lots and the fair every 20 minutes. Riders must wear masks on the shuttle, Vossler said, whether they are vaccinated or not.

Adams County adopts new drilling regulations Industry chafes at state-allowed regulations, opponents claim it’s too little BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Adams County Board of Commissioners voted 3-1 for new oil and gas regulations at a July 27 public hearing, making the county the first in Colorado to revise its policies since new statewide regulations took effect in January. The regulations increase setback distances to 2,000 feet from homes, schools, daycares, environmentally sensitive areas, and parks and open spaces. The text amendments also expand the definition of environmentally sensitive areas and require closer monitoring of nuisance impacts. Industry proponents said the new regulations effectively ban drilling in the county, while county commissioners said the text amendments were necessary to address the growing concern over air quality and pollution. “Frankly, the time is now. We are looking at the longest streak of poor air quality in the Denver metro in a number of years,” said Adams County Commissioner Emma Pinter. “There is widespread concern in the community, both about climate

change, air quality, air pollution, water pollution, all the things that are really centered around these regulations. This is the best that we can do at this time.” Along with Pinter, Board Chairperson Eva Henry and Commissioner Lynn Baca voted for the regulations, while Commissioner Chaz Tedesco dissented. Commissioner Steve O’Dorisio was absent. Local regulations allowed A 2019 state law, Senate Bill 181,

gave local governments more regulatory authority over oil and gas drilling. It also gave direction to the Colorado Oil and Gas Commission to revise statewide regulations, which the commission did last November. Adams County revised its oil and gas regulations in 2019 but decided to revise the regulations again when the statewide regulations changed. Some of the regulations the commissioners approved on Tuesday match the Colorado Oil and Gas Commission regulations, while others are more strict. Adams County will measure setbacks differently than the state and has established a bigger setback distance from streams, lakes, rivers, springs and wetlands. The county also created a wider zone around drilling operations requiring drilling companies to conduct regular noise monitoring and community outreach. Industry concerns Many community members and industry representatives criticized the stricter setback regulations during the public hearing, arguing that it significantly limits the areas where drilling can occur and thus, limits drilling operations overall. The Colorado Oil and Gas Association “has justifiable concerns that the rules are a ban cloaked as regulation,” said Ryan Seastrom, regulatory affairs manager for the Colorado Oil and Gas Association (COGA), at the public hearing.

“Even if the setbacks don’t function as a ban, the county not having clear criteria for how it will evaluate permit applications invites arbitrary and capricious decision-making.” Others criticized the regulations for the potential negative impact on jobs. “Without realizing how oil and gas production affects almost every aspect of our daily lives, I believe you are taking bad legislation and making it worse,” said Steve Yaussy, who lives in Northglenn. Threading the needle Meanwhile, environmental activists said the regulations don’t go far enough. Andrew Forkes-Gudmundson, deputy director of the League of Oil and Gas Impacted Coloradans (LOGIC), said that LOGIC wants the county to shorten the lifespan of a drilling permit, and enhance nuisance impact protections. Forkes-Gudmundson praised the county for adding provisions that recognize communities disproportionately impacted by oil and gas drilling, but said, “there doesn’t appear to be any substantive protections built into these regulations.” In her concluding remarks, Henry said the issue is a difficult needle to thread, but that she’s happy with the regulations. “It’s one of those situations where we are damned if we do and damned if we don’t,” Henry said. “So that’s when I find when we hit the sweet spot, because both sides are angry.”

CDBG money approved in Westminster and Thornton BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

This year, the cities of Westminster and Thornton will spend community development block grant funding on home repairs, parks and open space enhancements, and homelessness outreach. Westminster and Thornton city councils both recently approved the cities’ 2021 annual action plans for CDBG funds that the cities received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The goal of the program is to provide suitable housing and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderateincome residents. “The entire time I have been on council, we have really promoted

department’s “internal workplace environment,” according to statement on July 12 about Carlson’s leave. The July 12 statement did not mention that Reeves was also on leave, but the city later confirmed that detail in response to an inquiry from the Window. Since issuing that statement, the city has not publicly disclosed any more details about the reasons for Carlson and Reeves being on leave. However, the department is embroiled in a dispute that might last

and pushed to make sure we have affordable and attainable housing in our community because it is so vital. And allowing people to age-in-home is an important tool for that,” said Westminster Mayor Anita Seitz at a council meeting on July 26. Westminster and Thornton city councils both unanimously voted for the CDBG action plans. Westminster is receiving about $610,000 in CDBG funding. It will spend $122,000 on administrative costs, $240,000 on preserving and expanding attainable housing, and $200,000 on affordable housing rehabilitation. Some of Westminster’s funding will be for more targeted projects, such as streetscape and lighting improvements to a section of South

Westminster. Other funding will go to the Emergency and Essential Home Repair program, which helps with urgently needed repairs at low- and moderate-income residences. Thornton is receiving about $851,000. It will spend $503,000 on public facilities improvements, $127,600 on the city’s homeless outreach team, $170,000 on administrative costs, and $50,000 on housing improvement programs. Thornton’s CDBG programs include art installations and enhancements to parks and open space, sidewalk construction, and the continuation of the city’s homelessness outreach team. Jason Mccullough, a program manager with Brothers Redevelopment, a nonprofit, spoke during public

comments at the Westminster City Council meeting and attested to how CDBG funding benefits residents. “We have a saying with Brothers Redevelopment: `We help those that no one else can help.’ With these funds, with the city, you are allowing us to do this work and continue to help people age in place in Westminster,” he said. Mccullough explained that Brothers receives CDBG funds from cities to repair homes occupied by older, lower-income residents. Projects can range from building wheelchair ramps, custom safety rails, or broken water heaters, as examples. The funding doesn’t address minor inconveniences, Mccullough said. “We use funds to take care of those kinds of issues to allow folks to continue to reside in their homes.

for months while the department’s permanent leader is absent for an undetermined amount of time. “The Westminster Police Department is in a troubling state. We are experiencing the highest attrition rate in the history of our great city over the past two years. With no clear relief in sight. Officers cope with low morale, poor staffing, improper micromanagement, drastically surging call load and increased population density,” said David Acunto, state secretary of the Colorado Fraternal Order of Police and member of the Westminster FOP Lodge 25, during public comments at a recent Westminster City Council meeting.

Acunto, who is also on Thornton City Council, added, “The most recent placement of chief Carlson and Deputy Chief Reeves on administrative leave became necessary because of the failure of the system to provide any real method for officers to communicate in any candid manner.” The city has not publicly disputed Acunto’s comments after the Westminster City Council meeting on July 26 though a fellow officer shot back at the same meeting. Todd Payne said, “To me, I see the exact opposite of what was just presented and that there are ways for us to talk to the command staff and that the command staff is responsive to our

needs.” Division over collective bargaining The now-public facing infighting began on June 25, when Acunto emailed Westminster City Council on behalf of FOP Lodge 25 to formally request approval for a November ballot measure to allow for collective bargaining in the police department. Members of the lodge voted In May for the idea of collective bargaining, with 145 members in support of the idea and two opposing it, said Lodge 25 President Kurt Frenzel in a statement to the Window.

The Colorado FOP said on its website that there are 35 local FOP lodges across the state, but very few with collective bargaining rights to negotiate employee compensation, overtime pay, and other benefits. The Window obtained Acunto’s email, and dozens of other ones, through multiple open records requests for email correspondence between June 25 and July 12. Mayor Pro Tem David DeMott was immediately receptive to Acunto’s email and asked council to discuss police collective bargaining at the June 28 council meeting. The city charter currently doesn’t allow for collective bargaining in the police department, and it would have to be amended to allow for collective bargaining. Westminster voters would need to approve the amendment through a ballot measure, similar to what happened with the fire department in 2018. Council has not reached a formal decision about a collective bargaining ballot measure in November. After council’s initial discussion about collective bargaining, nowActing Police Chief Norm Haubert, who was then-deputy police chief, sent an email to other high-ranking officers in the department. “Collective bargaining came up with city council last night,” Haubert wrote. “Long story short, the chief is asking that we (the three of us) take a neutral position on this at work. He doesn’t want

another hurdle to jump as we continue down this path.” In response, one of the recipients of the email, Tim Read, commander of technical services, replied, “Ok. I’ll go from hell no to neutral.” On Thursday, July 1, Carlson discussed collective bargaining with Deputy Chief Dean Villano and its potential impact on non-union officers. Carlson told Villano in an email that both non-union and union officers would be subject to collective bargaining. The chief wrote to Villano, “Your final question is how to non-members have a voice in the contract. They don’t. The FOP and the membership does. If they want a voice, join the FOP. Or, step up and voice their concerns now with CMO and Council (when the appropriate time comes) to share their concerns.” Four days later, Carlson emailed all department employees with a series of updates, touching on collective bargaining and complaints that officers have been raising. He also invited sworn personnel to a meeting on July 7 with him, City Manager Don Tripp and Deputy City Manager Barbara Opie, who, Carlson said, want to “listen to your ideas, concerns, and suggestions for the department.” The last email from Carlson on collective bargaining before his leave that the Window obtained was to Reeves, Haubert and Villano on July 6. Carlson forwarded an email that Tripp had forwarded from Mayor Pro Tem DeMott requesting city staff to draft a formal resolution that would approve a collec-

tive bargaining ballot measure for November. When Carlson forwarded that DeMott message to his three deputy chiefs, the chief wrote, “FYI. Tough to get them (FOP Lodge 25) to talk to us when they have this kind of advocacy on Council. I don’t know how the other 5 (members of council) feel, but, an election year and all of them want to be seen as `supporting the cops’, I have no doubt that it will go through quickly and get on the ballot.” After July 7 The city maintains that the collective bargaining debate, or the issues brought up as part of that, are unrelated to Carlson and Reeves going on leave, or the third-party review of the police department’s “workplace environment.” However, descriptions of emails that the city withheld from the Window in its records request show that the city began communicating with the third-party consultant after the July 7 meeting that was attended by Carlson, Tripp, Opie, and sworn officers. The city withheld a series of emails from the Window between July 7 to July 12 — the day Carlson and Reeves went on leave — citing a statute protecting records that, if disclosed, “would likely stifle honest and frank discussion within the government were it to be disclosed.” The statute cited still requires the city to provide a description of the emails and a sworn statement from the city clerk’s office. Many of the emails withheld from the Window between July 7 to July 12 are

from Dee Martin, human resources director, and contain the subject lines, “PD recruiting 2021,” “WPD witness list,” “Needed items,” “Police information,” “Meetings at the PD/Collective Bargaining,” and “WPD witness list 7 12.” The city withheld the emails because it contains “internal discussions between human resources, city management, legal, and an outside consultant regarding a personnel and workplace culture investigation.” Many of the descriptions of the emails withheld add, “Revealing the details of the investigation would put witnesses at risk of retaliation.” The Window also filed a records request for any disciplinary records about Carlson and complaints filed against the chief. The city said that neither exist. Le, the city spokesman, said in an email, “Take a look at this original statement about concerns brought directly to the city, `The City was recently made aware of concerns raised by Westminster Police Department staff related to the police department’s workplace environment.’’” In other words, concerns were brought to the city’s human resources department, not police department leadership. Frenzel, the Lodge 25 president, did not provide an explanation to his knowledge for Carlson and Reeves going on leave. “Typically, personnel matters are not shared with employees that are not in city management,” he said. Carlson and Reeves did not respond to requests for comment.

this summer, letting residents talk about what they think should influence his vision and things for them to keep in mind. “We have been part of his process and he has spent a lot of time connecting with the communities and hearing about the communities,” she said. “For example, one of the things with the bamboo in Brighton is the connection to the Japanese-American community. So, this is part of the inspiration for that, as a Japanese tea house.” Fann said he doesn’t imagine his Brighton structure will be used for tea but imagines residents young and old will visit it to explore. He also figures it will be a backdrop or stage for future concerts or performances at the library. “Ultimately what this is, it’s an exploration of bamboo music and architecture,” he said. “This is a performance space — not just for music and architecture but all the culture that pertains to bamboo. Bamboo is global, it grows all over the world and it’s one of the oldest used materials.” He plans to use an etching device to carve smartphone-readable symbols into the bamboo stalks. People can scan the symbols and be directed to information about how bamboo is used around the globe. “You take a picture with your phone and it sends you Venezuela, where people are playing music with bamboo instruments, ” Fann said. “If you take a picture of another, it takes you to Japan.”

Building along the Platte Fann grew up along the Platte River in Nebraska. That’s where he got his start into his peculiar art, scrounging scrap wood to make tree houses and forts to play in. “I gathered wood out of the river for building forts,” he said. “All my neighbors were builders, so I’d watch them building fireplaces or just working on their houses. I’m from that pre-Internet generation. That’s what we did.” He traveled as a percussionist and drummer for a while, studying music around the world and teaches. He now lives in Big Sur, in California’s Monterey County but the influence for his projects comes from around the world. “The way I relate to architecture is much like someone might think of writing a musical composition or tuning and instrument,” Fann said. “It’s the placement of notes – which might be the poles in the structure – and the framework.” It’s more than just art or architecture, Fann said. He’s also a drummer who’s performed around the world. That influence comes across in his projects, with strong bases surrounded by interwoven patterns. “Nature is really the predominant influence and how it interacts with natural forms,” Fann said. Here for now The summer of 2021 has been a busy one for him, he said. It’s had him traveling between his home in California through Colorado to Kentucky and back. He’s tried to vary the materials he uses among the Anythink branches. The installation at the Perl Mac

branch was carved from a single gigantic piece of redwood scrap he salvaged in California. “That’s a piece of two to 3,000-year-old piece of wood, and I was able to get access to one section of it,” he said. He left the log’s patina in place and used a high-pressure water sprayer to carve patterns into the wood. “People asked me what kind of paint I used on that,” he said. “That’s not paint.” The piece he recently completed in Bennett is made from Cottonwood logs pulled from the Kiowa River. “It’s a storytelling space, and you could fit 40 kids in there,” he said. “Each piece is fitted together, like a puzzle. Other parts are hollowed out and they can use them for planters.” The tall, narrow tower he built for the back area at Thornton’s Wright Farms branch is made from California Eucalyptus. It’s a fragrant, durable wood that lends itself to that kind of swirling, layered design. “I really appreciate eucalyptus because it has a such beautiful form,” he said. Brighton’s structure will be a sort of tea house built from bamboo. He’s nearly finished building the metal-supported base structure utilizing thick canes of bamboo. Thinner stalks of the plant will be woven into that structure, giving the finished piece his signature layers and whorls. “This is not explicitly a teahouse as much as it’s a celebration of bamboo in music and architecture,” he said. “There is so much to it, so many things you can do with it. We wanted to highlight this.”

Tri-County Health urges masks in schools, indoor settings Health agency’s announcement follows new CDC guidance BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Stopping short of requiring masks in schools and other indoor places, the local public health agency for Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties released a recommendation for wearing masks in those settings as the Delta variant continues “surging across the metro Denver area,” the agency said in a news release. The Tri-County Health Depart-

ment now recommends that “all persons wear masks in school settings regardless of vaccination status and, as long as we have rising rates of community transmission, that everyone including fully vaccinated persons wear a mask in public indoor settings,” the agency said in the July 30 release. The decision to recommend — but not require — masks in schools leaves the question of whether to require masks up to individual school districts in Tri-County’s area. The Delta coronavirus variant spreads about twice as easily from one person to another as previous strains of the virus, according to Tri-County. SEE MASKS, P9

Masks optional for Adams 12 and 27J, but required for Westminster North metro school districts announce COVID-19 protocols before start of school year BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Adams 12 Five Star Schools and 27J Schools will not require students to wear masks indoors this

coming semester, but Westminster Public Schools will. All three districts will not require students to be vaccinated, but strongly encourage it for those who are eligible. 27J Schools announced its back to school plan on Tuesday, while Adams 12 and Westminster Public Schools announced their plans on Friday after the Tri-County Health Department released new mask guidance. The public health department for Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties urged residents to

wear masks indoors to counteract the Delta variant’s spread. “Masks are recommended for all students, regardless of vaccination status, but are not required. The district strongly encourages masks for all in our buildings,” read a statement from Adams 12. “We will honor the decision of parents when it comes to their children wearing or not wearing a mask in school.” 27J Schools’ return to school plan struck a similar tone, as opposed to Westminster’s announcement.

“All students, staff and teachers will be required to wear masks when indoors. The district has a stockpile of masks available for them who need them,” read a Westminster Public Schools statement. Students in all three school districts are required to wear masks on busses. To encourage students ages 12 and above to get vaccinated, Adams 12 noted that the Thornton Fire Department is hosting a vaccination clinic on August 7 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Thornton High School.

‘A race against time’: Health chief urges more people to get shots BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health Department, framed the new mask guidance as one necessary piece in combating the virus’ resurgence. “Although we think a resumption of wearing masks in schools and public indoor settings can be a useful measure to stem increases in trans-

MASKS FROM PAGE 8

The recommendation from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for universal maskwearing in school settings “is consistent with recent recommendations by the American Academy of Pediatrics and is based on the goal of keeping schools as safe as possible while maximizing in-person learning,” TriCounty’s news release said. Tri-County continued: “Wearing masks in indoor settings is an evidence-based, safe and effective way to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and mask-wearing in schools is particularly important because there are so many interactions in schools between vaccinated and unvaccinated people, and because children under 12 are not yet eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccines.” In light of new data on the Delta coronavirus variant, the CDC in late

mission, it’s quite clear that getting vaccinated as soon as possible is the best way to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” Douglas said in a TriCounty news release. “We are in a race against time to get more people vaccinated before Delta spreads even further or new even more contagious variants emerge.” Wearing masks during times of rising community spread of the virus provides added protection to the

individual wearing the mask because, “even though highly effective, vaccines are not 100% protective,” Tri-County said in the release. “In addition, masks can reduce transmission to others, particularly those who have not been vaccinated for COVID-19 such as children under 12 or persons who don’t have a fully protective response to vaccination,” the agency added. All three COVID-19 vaccines autho-

rized in the U.S. protect against severe illness, hospitalization and death from the Delta coronavirus variant, according to Tri-County’s release. Although rare, some vaccinated people can get Delta in a “breakthrough” infection and may be contagious — however, vaccinated individuals represent a “very small amount of transmission occurring around the country,” Tri-County said in the release.

July updated its guidance for fully vaccinated people. The CDC now recommends “universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students, and visitors to K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status,” according to its website. The new CDC guidance applies to schools everywhere — and to other indoor settings in counties with “substantial transmission” of the virus, according to John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health.

rates of new COVID-19 cases — above 50 cases per 100,000 people, according to Tri-County. That means the new CDC guidance recommending that all people, vaccinated or not, wear masks in indoor settings applies in Tri-County’s area. Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas have seen the signs of an upswing in COVID-19 case rates, according to TriCounty’s news release. As of July 29, for Adams County, the seven-day incidence rate per 100,000 people for COVID-19 cases was 76 per 100,000. That represents an increase of 172% since June 26, according to the news release. Arapahoe has seen an incidence rate of 70 per 100,000, an increase of 142%, and Douglas had an incidence rate of 71 per 100,000, which is an increase of 163%, respectively, over the same period.

vironment released new P-12 school COVID-19 guidelines on July 20, but the new guidance “does not constitute statewide requirements,” a state news release said. Instead, the guidance outlines “best practices” for local governments and school districts. Local health agencies, such as TriCounty, can decide for themselves whether to be stricter than the state and require precautions. But with Tri-County declining to require masks, the choice of whether to mandate masks falls to school districts. Tri-County Health “has been working with our school districts to achieve optimal in-person learning and prevent transmission of COVID-19 and will continue to do so to help them understand how best to apply … new guidance,” the agency said in the news release. “Like much of the guidance released by the CDC, CDPHE and TCHD, for the 2021-22 school year, at this point, universal masking should be understood not as a requirement but as a strong sciencebased recommendation.”

Local cases on the rise The CDC’s change in guidance was based on surges in infection due to the Delta variant in many parts of the United States, as well as evolving understanding of vaccinated persons’ ability to transmit Delta infection and slowing rates of vaccination, according to the Tri-County news release. As of late July, similar to the rest of the metro area, all three Tri-County Health counties are in the CDC’s “substantial” zone of transmission, with seven-day incidence rates —

Judicial performance chair for 17th District resigns BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Molly Jansen, the chairperson of the body that evaluates judges’ performance in Adams and Broomfield counties, resigned from her post early this month after learning that her law license would be suspended. Though Jansen wouldn’t have been allowed to stay on the 17th Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission with a legal suspension, the defense attorney said other factors played into her decision. Jansen told Colorado Community Media in a phone call, “It (resigning) was initially because I didn’t choose to stay on the commission. It was also my ethical obligation to resign due to the fact that I was no longer going to be licensed.” Jansen’s departure from the commission came nearly a year after district court judges called for her resignation when the attorney was on legal probation for a different set of professional conduct violations. Jansen, whose law practice is based in Denver but lives in Adams County, became well-known in the metro area after she ran as a Republican candidate in the 17th Judicial District Attorney race in 2016. She lost to Dave Young, a Democrat, whose term as DA ended in January. Jansen also competed on a season of the Discovery Channel series, “Naked and Afraid,” which aired in 2019. Jansen started on the 17th Judicial District Performance Evaluation

Commission in 2017 and became the chairperson in 2019. The commission is made up of 10 volunteers. Four members are attorneys; six are not. The commission oversees a year-long process evaluating district court judges who are up for retention. The evaluation process concludes with a recommendation from the commission for or against a judge’s retention, which voters ultimately decide in a November election. The commission’s recommendation goes into the ballot information booklet, or the Blue Book. Colorado Politics and the Brighton Standard Blade investigated the controversial performance evaluation of former Adams County District Court Judge Tomee Crespin between Oct. 2019 to August 2020. Ultimately, voters chose not to retain Crespin in the November election after the 17th Judicial District Performance Evaluation Commission recommended against Crespin’s retention. Crespin’s performance evaluation was controversial, partly due to conflict between Crespin and Jansen. Earlier in Crespin’s performance evaluation, in a conversation between the two, Jansen made comments to Crespin about the judge’s “demeanor.” Jansen also talked to Crespin about a case in which Jansen, who was representing a client, appeared before Crespin. Crespin and allies of the judge had concerns about Jansen’s ability to fairly evaluate Crespin. They were

story.

especially concerned that Jansen was on a two-year legal probation that began in October 2019 for violating multiple Colorado Bar Association rules of professional conduct. During Crespin’s performance evaluation, when members of the 17th Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission indicated that Crespin would receive an unfavorable evaluation, fellow judges of Crespin and attorneys who knew Crespin wrote letters to the commission advocating for the judge. Adams County District Judge Sharon Holbrook wrote a letter and in it, she specifically called out Jansen, saying, “The bench, myself included, was concerned that an attorney who is not in good standing was not in the best position to judge the performance of others, including judges.” Though Jansen did not respond to a request for comment from Colorado Politics and the Brighton Standard Blade last year, Jansen responded to Holbrook’s criticism in her recent phone call with Colorado Community Media. “My probation had nothing to do with anyone in Adams County. It involved clients, it did not involve judges. I had no personal biases that were affecting my ability to be on the commission and I was not required by law to resign,” Jansen said. “It (the probation) was between clients and myself and our fee agreements and whatnot. So, it had no bearing and there was no reason

for me to resign, regardless of the fact that a couple of judges didn’t like it,” she added. A Colorado Supreme Court disciplinary court judge ruled on July 2 to suspend Jansen’s license, as first reported by the Denver Post. It was for similar reasons that she was put on probation in 2019 - she charged clients up front but failed to meet benchmarks that she and the client agreed to beforehand — but was for different cases. Jansen said she intends to continue practicing law after her suspension ends. When asked whether she would continue the same business practices that resulted in her legal probation and suspension, Jansen said, “I’m not going to comment on that.” Jansen’s resignation from the 17th Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission was effective July 12. Colorado Community Media reached out to Crespin about the news of Jansen’s recent legal suspension. “To now learn that she has again been investigated and found to have continued to engage in unethical behavior while remaining on the Judicial Performance Commission is unconscionable,” Crespin said in an email. “While unethical behavior by attorneys chips away at that delicate trust and confidence, the public’s trust and confidence is destroyed when those, who are tasked with ensuring the system is held to the highest of standards, choose to do nothing when observing such glaring inappropriate actions.”

Colorado violates EPA ozone standards again BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

On the same day environmental groups called out Colorado officials for missing a key EPA deadline to clean up ozone pollution violations widely attributed to driving, business groups declared victory in weakening the state’s new set of rules to reduce air pollution caused by employee car commutes. The double whammy was not lost on conservationists, who took one look at the watered-down state rule proposal and how the Colorado Chamber of Commerce was celebrating it and issued louder warnings. “As the region misses another ozone pollution reduction deadline and we are stuck in a series of dirty air days, now is not the time to gut the (commuting) rule, and I’m disappointed in the position our state health department put out,” said Danny Katz, executive director of the nonprofit consumer activist group CoPIRG. “The smoke alarm is blaring. We need to all work together to put out the fire and have the clean air every Coloradan deserves.” Overall air quality on the Front Range, and a subset of measurements of ground-level ozone dangerous to human health, have improved in recent years, but the EPA has repeatedly lowered the maximum limit of ozone scientists consider safe. That means Denver and other Front Range counties have been violating the ratcheted-down limits, and July

20 was another EPA deadline for the area to come into “attainment” or face new consequences. State health and conservation officials have said they now expect the EPA to further downgrade the Front Range zone into the next-lower “severe” category from the current level of “serious” violations. Lowering the rating again will mean local governments must go back to the drawing board for regulations cutting pollution through limits on driving or demands for cleaner fuels. Meeting the standards will also likely mean tougher rules for oil and gas producers venting chemicals, and cutting emissions by an array of industries. The state Air Quality Control Commission is scheduled to hear new sets of proposed rules on employee commuting in August, and the staff of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment had previously put out drafts seeking mandatory commuting cuts for large employers starting in 2022. Conservationists wanted tougher enforcement provisions of those rules, but had said they were a good start toward finally attacking the transportation-related sources of air pollution and greenhouse gases. Goals become `aspirational’ Then CDPHE issued a statement the week of July 19 saying it had run into opposition from employers and their associations, and would shift to emphasizing employer-run surveys of commuting habits and

“aspirational” goals for reducing miles driven. “This new proposal is based on the recognition that lasting and meaningful success will require strong buy-in from employers and employees who are subject to the program, and a pilot phase will facilitate our understanding of real world implementation successes and challenges,” the CDPHE’s statement said. The Colorado Chamber of Commerce praised the new, lenient direction. “How Coloradans commute to work shouldn’t be the concern of state government, and a mandatory approach to reducing employee commutes would be overreaching, impractical and inequitable,” said Katie Wolf, director of the chamber’s state governmental affairs, in a statement. “We appreciate that the commission has taken our feedback seriously and will be revising its proposal from a mandatory to voluntary program.” CoPIRG’s Katz said Denver and the northern Front Range counties in the non-attainment area have failed to contain ozone for years, and that “fossil-fuel powered vehicles” are a key contributor. July 20 was the latest EPA deadline for Colorado to make progress, Katz noted. The proposed commuting rule, dubbed ETRP by the state, “offered a chance to align large employers and expand options for employees to do their jobs without commuting and adding more pollution to our air,” Katz said.

The arguments come as the Front Range bakes under another heat wave that has consistently raised ozone counts toward dangerous levels. On July 20, Colorado state monitors reported a peak of ozone at 74 parts per billion in the Denver metro zone at 2 p.m., a level they call “unhealthy for sensitive groups.” Ground-level ozone is caused by a mix of volatile organic compounds released by oil and gas and other industries, vehicle emissions and power plant emissions, and made worse by the hot sunshine metro Denver gets most of the summer.

VOICES

Local tax incentives for projects bear some scrutiny

here seems to be a growing breeze that hopefully will turn into a strong wind over state tax incentives given to businesses. According to the Washington Post, there is a growing interest in prohibiting state and city governments from using tax incentives to lure economic development. It is estimated that each year approximately $95 billion (yes that is with a B) is offered to businesses and developers. That is serious money and deserves more attention and deeper thought. A couple of obvious, outlandish examples pertain to Amazon’s previous quest for a second headquarters and chipmaker Foxconn. New York and Virginia offered a combined $3.75 billion in incentives to seduce Amazon while the State of Wisconsin courted Foxconn with a $2.9 billion set of state tax credits in 2017. Boeing Aircraft received the richest

tax break in history when the State of Washington gave away $8.7 billion. This movement to cut “corporate welfare” has attracted noteworthy support on both sides of the political aisle. State legislators in 15 states (not ColoraBill Christopher do) have introduced legislation that would block their governmental entities from offering tax incentives/ subsidies.

CROSS CURRENTS

Gaining momentum since 2019 Needless to say, this concept is in its early stages and it remains to be seen how many states will ultimately embrace it. The most obvious hurdle to overcome is the hesitancy of states enacting such laws is when

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Leaving the GOP I thought it important that you know that I am a registered unaffiliated voter. Up until recently I was a registered Republican, and 30 years ago, I was a registered Democrat. Things change. The massive intrusion of partisan politics into the recent Special Election has hurt Westminster. By taking myself away from the partisan labels, I hope it will direct the campaign to an exploration of issues rather than D vs. R. By being an unaffiliated voter, I now have no opportunity for political advancement. Political affiliation has always been the requirement to move to higher office. The latest examples in Westminster are Representative Shannon Bird, Commissioner Emma Pinter and Senator Faith Winter. All of these City council members advanced to higher elective office using their Democratic affiliation and discarding their duties as council members. It appears the Colorado Democratic Party values having party faithful on City Councils. That’s why they were major donors to Defend Westminster. Only people that live in Westminster, of all affiliations, supported the Water Warriors. I am unaware if any Colorado political parties had platform statements supporting outrageous water rates. I doubt there are platform planks on many issues Westminster faces. The Democratic Party was involved to support their man. The Democratic Party seeks only to use Westminster. There is no need for other candidates to follow my lead, as long as they place Westminster first in their loyalties. Bruce Baker, Westminster

not all states are on board in taking the same action. No one wants to put themselves at a disadvantage as long as incentives are the name of the game. The states of Hawaii, Florida, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Utah, Alabama and Rhode Island are poised to act, but their legislation would not take effect on its own. It is dependent on other states enacting similar restrictions. It’s worth keeping an eye on this idea which gained momentum starting in 2019. Focusing on the local government level I believe there is merit in discussing this same concept at the local level. Too many times, developers or big businesses such as Wal-Mart, Costco, King Soopers and Target have pitted one municipality against another. Who will offer the biggest package of tax rebates, fee waivers, reduced land costs, etc.

Plus, in Westminster’s case, the city council’s sizeable incentive packages have been given to apartment developments, both subsidized and market-rate dwelling units. According to the Washington Post article, studies have confirmed that companies would make the same investment and expansion decisions without any tax breaks. Clearly, this is a conversation that needs to take place in all 50 states along with their municipalities. The concept requires all players to be in agreement When I was Westminster’s city manager, I certainly participated in the “incentives” game to help my city compete for jobs and tax base. If city governments are not of a mind to join forces and either do away with incentives or at least put SEE CHRISTOPHER, P13

Something to almost stop and think about

H

ave you noticed those new, red, octagonal signs they’ve been putting up around town? I’m not sure QUIET what their purDESPERATION pose is. Maybe you do. If so, please let me in on it. Each of the signs has four white letters on it. “S,” “T,” “O” and “P.” I figure it must Craig Marshall be some kind of Smith acronym. But what? Maybe “Sleep Tonight On Pillows.” It seems like a lot of money was spent on something that no one pays any attention to. There’s another thing that bothers me. They put them at most of the intersections, right there on the corners. They distract drivers who slow down to read what they say and cause accidents or near-accidents. Living near a high school, I see teenagers do it all the time. Instead of sailing through an intersection, they hesitate. I think it’s because they’re curious about the signs. “Sick Texans Often Puke.” Teenaged drivers shouldn’t

have to try to figure out what the meaning of a sign is while they’re on the way to something important. As I said, all of the signs are red. That makes them stand out. It’s one more strike against them because, as we know, red is an aggressive color. It stands out. A friend of mine who believes we have “visitors” is convinced the signs are intended for them and it’s an acronym for “Sluve Tupalulu Ornidoo Peppitone.” He says that’s, “Don’t forget, Martians: Your second cup of coffee is free at all Roswell restaurants.” The signs add visual “clutter” just where we don’t need it: at busy intersections. It’s tough enough there already. Since I love ciphers, I tried a couple of simple letter substitutes with my decoder ring, but what I came up with didn’t make sense. “Lucky Strike means fine tobacco” was one of them. And “Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire.” I must have done something wrong. There’s another one of these intersection signs I don’t understand. There are fewer of them, and that’s nice, but the meaning of the letters on them is lost to me and everyone else. “Y,” “I,” “E,” “L” and “D.”

My friend thinks it’s just another attempt to communicate with our friends from outer space. “What do the letters mean?” I asked. He told me it was an intergalactic marketing plea. “Well, what is it?” “`Buy your muffler from us, not the Chinese.’” I am all for trying to boost the U.S. economy, but why can’t it be done somewhere else? Everyone knows that intersections are lively and at times entertaining areas where a lot of things can go wrong. If I’m going through an intersection and texting, I can’t be bothered by a sign that’s designed to appeal to little green men. I tried to get an answer from our traffic engineers, but they just laughed and said, “You’ve got to be kidding.” You and I know that things go on behind our backs all the time. There are subliminal messages everywhere. When someone in the government says, “A wet bird does not fly at night” it doesn’t mean “A wet bird does not fly at night.” I dare you to put that in your decoder ring.

a cap on them, then I would be the first to say “keep offering incentives, but at a justified, reasonable rate.” You need a level playing field for the prohibition of incentives to work. It makes good sense if all players can come together. Some would argue that your city will lose the economic prospect if you don’t offer tax and fee incentives. That is not going to be a “black and white” situation every time. Sure, your city might lose some, but you are going to win some as well. My point is to at least discuss with the voters and adjoining municipal governments. Try it, you might like it! Westminster full of potential ballot issues There could be a lot going to Westminster voters this November, including a sales tax increase for public safety (mainly for Fire Department expenditures) and $20 million in new debt, an extension of the existing ¼ of 1% Parks and Open Space sales and use tax to 2041 plus authorization to issue $15 million in new bonds and approval of the sale and taxing of mari-

juana are on the TABOR menu in Westminster. Council has until the end of August to take action on which of these will get the nod to go to the November ballot. The city had a consulting firm conduct a poll on each of the possibilities. The Parks and Open Space tax extension and new debt came in fairly strong at 63% in support, 23% opposed and 14% undecided. Both the public safety tax increase/debt authorization and the marijuana sales/tax are right below the traditional 60% -plus rule-of-thumb to go to the ballot. I can’t see the council being comfortable in putting all three measures on the ballot. What is especially puzzling to me is why they are in a rush for the extension of the Parks and Open Space tax to 2041. Currently, the voters have authorized the tax to the end of 2032. I am guessing staff wants to use the $15 million in a new bond authorization. You will recall there is very little vacant land left in Westminster (less than one square mile) for open space purchases so the focus has to be elsewhere. Are they thinking of issuing debt for new sprinkler systems at city golf courses? Or would funds go toward a new recreation center in northern Westminster? Is that OK with the public? Let’s be transparent. We will have more to say once

the city council has approved the necessary ballot language. Northglenn embarks upon updating its comprehensive land plan While the City of Westminster will soon wrap up their multi-faceted “Westminster Forward” effort - which includes the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan- the City of Northglenn is just getting started on their land-use plan update. Known as “Looking Up—A Vision for Northglenn’s Future,” staff has launched the process. The city is inviting all residents to get involved with the updating endeavor to reflect the community’s vision, values and goals for the future. It has been 10 years since the last plan was adopted. With the Karl’s Dairy site now under construction, there is not much vacant land left for new development (15 acres). Re-development will be the main focus looking ahead. Comprehensive land-use plans are the fundamental building block for municipalities to plan for the future. In turn, water planning and infrastructure plans are crafted based on the allowed land uses and densities. It will be interesting to see what emphasis Northglenn’s “Looking Up” process produces.

Pauline Lois Griffin

September 19, 1934 - July 17, 2021 Former Colorado resident, Pauline Lois Griffin, 86, died July 17, 2021 at her home in Denver, Colorado surrounded by her children and close friends. The family will hold a small private memorial in the beautiful family garden created by Pauline. Pauline was born September 19, 1934, in Midland, South Dakota to Vernie Winchester and Dorothy Deline Carpenter. The majority of her formative years were in Rapid City, South Dakota and she graduated from Rapid High School in 1952. She met her husband, Donald Earl Griffin at a church social hosting the servicemen based in Rapid City. They were married in September, 1952. Pauline and Don were blessed with three children whom they raised in the home they bought in Denver, Colorado. This remained her home, which she occupied continuously with a 4-year relocation to assisted living until the advent of COVID, when she was brought back home. She was predeceased by her husband, Don, in 2008.

As a secretary, Pauline always excelled and was highly respected by her co-workers both in the education field and in the corporate world. Even though Pauline often worked two jobs to help support the family in the early years, she always made time for being involved with Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and PTA. Her love for and devotion to her children was always the driving force in her life. When she had free time it was never taken for herself, although gardening in her beautiful yard was her renewal. After her family was grown she channeled her loving energy into her church, a strong circle of friends, Habitat for Humanity, The Conflict Center, reading to children at the elementary school, supervised visitation, being a Big Sister and door-todoor activism on political and community issues that mattered to her. Pauline is survived by her son, David; daughters Dawn and Julie; her grandson, Brandon and her two great grandsons, Sawyer and Shay. She is also survived by all of her siblings, which includes brothers Vernie, Jr. and Ken and her sisters Nadine and Shirley.

THE SPOTS

or many Front Range residents, this summer has been about one thing: getting out. Out to see family, out to see friends, out to play, out to enjoy a cold brew that just doesn’t taste the same on the couch, out to do anything at all. Lucky for us, this summer of friends and freedom has coincided with the opening of several new major entertainment venues and districts that seem almost tailormade to sate our hunger for a heaping helping of fun as pandemic restrictions have eased. And while some of these new spots are in central Denver, others have popped up in the suburbs, meaning that enjoying some of the area’s latest and greatest entertainment SEE ENTERTAINMENT, P15

Explore creative expressions at Walker Fine Art COMING ATTRACTIONS

think all creative expression is an experiment. The creator may know what they’re aiming for, but there’s no guarantee things will pan out the way you hope. The often-abstract act of making is what Walker Fine Art gallery owner Bobbi Walker is exploring in the new exhibit, Experimental Expressions. “In featuring these artists who work abstractly, we are recognizing a creative act as an experiment,” Walker explained. “This can ease the weight of seriousness for the artist and allow room for free-flowing ideation through creative spontaneity and emotional expression.” On view at the gallery, 300 W. 11th Ave., No. A, in Denver, through Saturday, Sept. 4, Experimental Expressions features the work of six artists who, according to provided information, “seek balance between inner narratives and outside influences, expanding upon their individual discover-

ies through sculpture, drawing, painting and mark-making.” The participating artists (along with some information provided by the gallery) are: Atticus Adams, whose “sculptural work is inspired by the nostalgia of summers at his grandmother’s house … Adams’ sculptures are touchstones of happy times.” Deidre Adams, for whom “making abstract work is often about solving problems of her own creations … [her] pieces present a constant and intriguing dialogue of color, form and texture.” Carol Browning, who is working towards “unlocking the sights, sounds and movement of nature. (She) presents visual symphonies on canvas, an expression in mark-making and vibrant color that emphasize the rhythms of life.” Patricia Finley “presents works from her experiments with ink. In all works,

color is the underlying theme, result and purpose behind her creations.” Melanie Grein is displaying “a new body of work that projects buoyancy … Grein’s paintings, which explore relationships of space, line, color and texture, interpret land, sky and water to offer calm and solace.” Ben Strawn, whose “newest works are predicated on a practice of automatic drawing executed in charcoal on paper. (His) constructed images become worlds of form, abstract landscapes of shape, color, chiaroscuro, and movement.” When putting together an exhibit, Walker said the artists communicate frequently about their work, which allows the gallery to do some pre-curation. Once the exhibits arrive, the pieces that best hold together as a cohesive whole are gathered into a show SEE READER, P15

options don’t require a commute followed by a lengthy hunt for a parking spot. Developer Bob Koontz began planning Pindustry — a 54,500-square-foot “eatertainment” facility that combines bowling lanes, an arcade, a massive rooftop patio and several other activities and spaces — years before anyone had ever heard of COVID-19. But he says this summer has proven to be a great time to open such a venture, which has benefited not only from activity-hungry crowds but also people looking for ways to escape this year’s intense heat. “We’re really above what we had projected for our opening,” said Koontz. “It seems like the public has really liked what we are offering and so we are getting some pretty good crowds.” But while Koontz is plenty happy about Pindustry’s timing, he’s also confident that his team has created something that will continue to draw crowds and fill a niche even after the novelty of being able to go out follwing pandemic restrictions starts to wear off. Located in an old automobile garage set amid a sprawling collection of strip malls southeast of the intersection of Arapahoe Road and I-25, Pindustry’s suburban location doesn’t exactly scream “Denver’s next hip night out destination.” After all, Pindustry isn’t even in Denver. But for Koontz, that’s exactly the point. “We’re targeting it more to the more hip, adult kind of crowd that works in this Denver Tech Center corridor,” said Koontz. “It’s a big workforce here and it seemed like if you could put the right place together than they’d enjoy having a place where they didn’t necessarily have to go downtown after work. I think we’ve hit that chord.” Walkable new destination in suburbia But while Pindustry’s lanes (there are not one but two kinds of bowling), games and lineup of local musical acts could keep that crowd entertained for quite some time, Pindustry is just the first of a much broader range of fun-oriented businesses setting up

where they all compliment each other. “I believe it is the quintessential summer exhibition, light and buoyant, punctuated with bursts of vibrant color,” Walker said. “The desire to capture the feeling of joy and release which only summer brings that is encapsulated in the artists’ dynamic compositions and use of vivid color.” Find more information at www. walkerfineart.com. Celebrate a decade of the 40 West Artline Not to be that guy, but I remember when Lakewood’s 40 West Artline had just started. And now we’re about to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the 4-mile walking and biking art route located along iconic West Colfax Avenue and the W Line light rail. The party will be from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 6 (it also marks the return of the Colfax Art Crawl) and will feature food trucks, Joy Bomb from the Handsome Little Devils performing, tours of the district, live music and a variety show, children and family craft stations and a community painting event. As is

shop in the area as part of the newly established Arapahoe Road Entertainment District. “This is going to be the most walkable area in the whole south suburbs, which tend to be pretty car driven,” Koontz said. Next month, Pindustry will be joined by Grange Hall, a new food hall (a first for a large swath of suburbs stretching from south Denver to Highlands Ranch and Parker) from popular Denver chef Troy Guard that will feature nine food stalls and a brewery inside a former CB Potts located across the parking lot. The area is also already home to Cinebarre, a Regal movie theater where filmgoers can order food and drinks from an in-house restaurant and bar to enjoy during their movie, which opened in 2019. There are also plans for a new location of the popular New York burger chain Shake Shack and other fast-casual restaurants. Something different for downtown As the Arapahoe Road Entertainment District continues to take shape, it could start to look a lot like McGregor Square. That’s the 659,000-square-foot development across the street from Coors Field that opened last spring and includes several restaurants and bars, a large outdoor plaza with space for cornhole and other games, and even its own food hall and a new Tattered Cover store. On a recent weekday afternoon, Genesee resident Alex Flournoy went with a group of about 20 people to check out the new development after going to the Rockies game. They drank at Tom’s Watch Bar, the complex’s spiffed-up sports bar that features massive TV screens divided into sections to show multiple games as well as a virtual golf simulator. Flournoy said he liked what he was seeing from McGregor Square, which he felt was bringing a “new trendiness factor” and welcoming “community feel” to LoDo. For him, that new vibe is a nice alternative to the more sophomoric one he finds dominates the more traditional sports bars and nightclubs located nearby on Blake, Market and Larimer streets. “As close as it may sit only one block away, it feels fresh, new, inviting and safe,” he said. “Particularly if you don’t really like or fit into the LoDo scene.”

always the case with the art crawls, the district’s galleries will host art events, openings, DIY crafts and more. For all the details, visit www.40WestArts.org. ‘Three Viewings’ comes to John Hand Theater Firehouse Theater Company and Wheat Ridge Theatre Company have joined to present Jeffrey Hatcher’s “Three Viewings,” to the John Hand Theater, 7653 E. 1st Place in Denver. Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. on some Thursdays and Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. on Sunday, from Friday, Aug. 13 through Saturday, Sept. 4. Directed by Maru Garcia, the show is centered around three comic/dramatic monologues set in a Midwestern funeral parlor over a three-day weekend — “Tell-Tale,” “The Thief of Tears” and “Thirteen Things About Ed Carpolotti.” This provides audiences the chance to immerse themselves in three different perspectives about death thanks to each character’s unique story. Jaime Lewis, Kiso Kyle and Debra Gallegos are the three storytellers. Tickets are available by calling 303-562-323 or visiting firehousetheatercompany.com.

New neighborhoods taking shape Meanwhile, those looking to experience a new kind of night out in Denver in a spot that isn’t as intensely urban as McGregor Square can head to 9+CO, a new development rising on the site of the old University of Colorado Medical Center. Sprawling over several blocks, the 26-acre district has more room to stretch than McGregor Square and includes green spaces, stores, outposts of Postino, Hopdoddy Burger Bar and other restaurants that have previously left their mark on the city, plus a gelato shop. However, the crown jewel of the complex is the new 10-screen AMC cinema, with such amenities as plush recliners and an upscale bar with cocktails on the menu, “With a wide variety of restaurants and retailers now open, 9+CO is really becoming the vibrant community we always envisioned it would be,” said Frank Cannon, development director for developer Continuum Partners in a statement issued last year. “As you walk around the community, you see people who live and work here, but you also see patrons from surrounding neighborhoods who are enjoying 9+CO as a destination for dining, services and gathering spaces.” Development in that vein has also spread to the north suburbs. While Downtown Westminster, which is located on the site of the old Westminster Mall, was taking shape before the pandemic, it has started to come into its own in the last several months with the opening of several new restaurants, plus a coffee shop and a hotel. The Alamo Drafthouse theater that first opened in 2019 has also reopened and a new Tattered Cover is slated to open in the next few weeks. While the primary audience of suburban destinations such as Downtown Westminster and the Arapahoe Road Entertainment Complex is people who live nearby and are looking for a day or night out, Koontz said such areas – and particularly places like Pindustry within them — will also serve another audience: those looking to host corporate events. “There aren’t that many options for large company events,” he said. “You can go to a hotel ballroom or places like Topgolf that have had success with company events. But you can only go to Topgolf so many times and so I think we’re offering a nice option.”

Wilco and Sleater-Kinney are two of the 90’s best bands.

‘Oracles of the Pink Universe’ is magical exhibit Simphiewe Ndzube invents intriguing world through paintings, sculpture BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A delightful small vacation is available at the Denver Art Museum through Oct. 10. Simphiewe Ndzube’s paintings and sculpture are shown in a colorful exhibit — “Oracles of the Pink Universe” — which offers a trip into the imaginary world of a young South African artist, born in 1990, who currently lives and works in Los Angeles. He has invented an intriguing world and presents images from it that reflect an arts education which blends European imagery, including “The Garden of Earthly Delights” by Hieronymus Bosch (ca. 1504), with Xhosa tribal mythology and other segments from here and there that reflect colorful imagined worlds — and today’s political realities. The painting “Bloom of the Corpse Flower” from this exhibit is a recent acquisition by the Denver Art Museum, getting DAM in on the ground floor with a talented young artist who is just holding his first U.S. museum exhibit, but is expected to become a big name in future years. This plant appears in several paintings in “Oracles of the Pink

Universe” and DAM director Christoph Heinrich writes in an introduction to the show catalog: “Ndzube’s work interrogates the legacies of apartheid based on his personal experiences, his Xhosa heritage and his knowledge of indigenous African and Eastern art.” In addition to application of paints, the artist at times includes actual garments, bits of fabric and other objects in collage technique. Colors are brilliant and sartorial styling is varied — we find a dude striding toward us in a pink suit and brown fedora, while in “A Visit to a Mine Moon,” a headless character with black and white checked gingham shirt and yellow glove approaches one who floats upside down, with a left leg that turns into a snake. Above them, a third fellow floats, rowing a boat with oars capped with yellow gloves. On the next page, we find a fellow who looks as though he has a secret as he’s surrounded by dripping mustard colored clouds. In one painting stands the Djinguereber Mosque, located in Timbuktu, Mali, West Africa, with design attributed to Abu Es Haq es

Saheli, built in 1327. A pictured sculpture shows legendary figure, “Bhekizwe, Riding Through the Garden of Earthly Delights” — another reference to the famous Bosch painting. A book about Simphewe records an interview with Plumelele Tsabalala, where he states “I have been making art from the moment I realized my consciousness, or rather, from the moment I realized I could do something with my hands … creativity has always been a kind of alternative space for me to understand the world. I make art to please myself and surprise myself. I have been able to turn my passion into a profession. Making art in these times in America, that can actually be seen by people beyond my studio, beyond my homeland, means so much to me because I am able to create something that has cultural capital. Further, I am able to support my family and younger artists around me. “There is a deep voice that I want people to hear; there is a story

that I’m trying to tell, one that is uniquely relevant to this time and this space. I am searching for an understanding of existence: why we’re here, an understanding of the planet, understanding these bodies, and an understanding of these figures I create that are traversing these spaces looking for meaning, love, liberation and freedom. I am also poking fun at the comedy of life itself — the theatre of life.” Ndzube later says, with regard to working as a Black artist: “Just being an artist from South Africa, I’m aware of a history of art that excluded black artists ... I want to expand options to bring so much more than identity and resistance to my work ... I see myself as a vessel ... I’m interested in expanding options for what Black and brown artists are able to create. I acknowledge that my identity and where I’m from grounds the work, but I want my art to go beyond just me: I want to explore the limits of magical realism and its relationship to Third World countries.”

Larkspur event is back after year lost to pandemic BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It was all good vibes as the 44th annual Renaissance Festival is back this year after being canceled last year.

There was plenty of entertainment throughout the Renaissance village, including CydeShow Cy who wowed the crowd by swallowing swords. Music from various bands and artists can be heard throughout the village.

After a year off due to the pandemic, King Henry and the Colorado Renaissance Festival have returned to Douglas County for the 2021 season. Opening in early July, the festival, in its 44th year, continues over eight weekends through Aug. 22. As in years past, visitors can experience a magical tour through time and legend. The village streets and pathways are filled with master revelers, artisans working hard to create original works of art, and let ye not forget the food and beverages. The entertainment brings the show alive with live music, plus shows displaying a variety of talents from Cydeshow Cy swallowing real swords, to an angelic performer serves as a “live fountain.” Food is also a popular draw. From the King’s Pantry, visitors can enjoy some steak on a stick, or the pork tails and turkey legs from Canterbury Kitchens. Throughout the entire village, there is an abundance of beer options. Part of the magic of the annual festival, held in Larkspur, is the abundance of visitors coming in full costume, engaging fully in the spirt of the past. For tickets and information for the 2021 festival, visit the website at coloradorenaissance.com. One of the crowd favorites of the festival is the jousting matches, with the winners taking a proud lap around the arena.

Artist offers look inside Meow Wolf Denver Scott Hildebrandt creates miniature worlds enclosed in vintage electronics BY ALEXIS KIKOEN ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

After years of anticipation, Meow Wolf’s permanent Denver location is set to open this fall. The Santa Fe-based art collective has been secretive about what to expect from their four-story, immersive art exhibition, but Rocky Mountain PBS got our first peek inside. We caught up with Arapahoe County artist Scott Hildebrandt and his piece titled, “You Are Here.” Hildebrandt — who lives in Littleton and works at an Englewood studio — is known for his work with antique and vintage miniatures, creating micro worlds inside of old clocks, cameras, radios, TVs and more. He had used this medium to make a huge work of art that fits Meow Wolf’s theme. The artist mimics the idea of interdimensional time travel by creating stories inside of vintage electronics that he hopes will remind people of their own past. “It’s almost like a memory inside of a memory,” Hildebrandt says. His piece uses more than 150 individual dioramas that all fit together into 20 shelves that span from the ceiling to the floor. Each diorama contains a story brought to life with

Scott Hildebrandt’s “You Are Here”

individual lighting and sound effects that come from speakers built into the artwork. Hildebrandt laughs, “You could spend a lot of time just looking at all the small details in each one.” The collaboration between Hildebrandt and Meow Wolf Denver has been three years in the making. “I knew in my proposal that I wanted a hallway that would bridge two different worlds and interact with you as you walked through it,”

he says. Hildebrandt has always loved how his work evokes memories and a childlike wonder from viewers. “That’s what I love about my art, it gives you the ability, even as an adult, to pretend.” People call the artist Mr. Christmas. It’s a name he got about 10 years ago when he first started doing this artwork. Hildebrandt focused on vintage Christmas pieces. The first piece he

made was a little Christmas village that was under glass. People took interest in that style of art and so he just sort of absorbed the name Mr. Christmas, he says.

Adjusting to new college schedules takes time for some College means big focus on time management, especially for athletes BY BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

High-school-turned-college athletes have more than a few things to balance in their first year away from home. Aside from such day-to-day things as opening a checking account and finding time to eat, they have to be punctual for practices, film sessions, weight training and college classes, all without any help. They might be some of the most ardent subscribers to the “Can We Add Another Hour or Two to the Day Club?” It may not be as daunting as it sounds, though. That’s one of the topics - so is a general description of college athletics and college athletics in a time of a pandemic - that is up for discussion in the third part of our adjustment to college series. Balancing college needs Most of those surveyed said the effort to balance all the needs in their new life wasn’t too bad, including former Frederick football player Blake Duran. “Class scheduling opens up to athletes first so we can work our classes around our practices and lifting so we never miss a practice because of class,” said Duran, who played at Dakota State University in Madison, South Dakota. “Eating and laundry are very accessible. At most, you’ll have three classes a day and time in between, so you have plenty of time to eat or do laundry if you have to.” That wasn’t always true. It was a difficult start for Brighton High School grad Ivan Scarpino. “But once I started to write down what I’m doing at exactly what time then I got much more organized,” said Scarpino, who played football at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota. “And after a couple of weeks I was able to adjust into balancing school, sports and life.” Scarpino’s classmate, Tori Haug, who played softball at Lakeland College in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, said it wasn’t “super-hard” for her to find that balancing act. “Everyone is willing to help everyone, which makes it so much easier to get everything done on time,” she said. “When it comes to the basic needs, we do a lot of things as a team. But it can be super difficult at times.” She said college is “very much based on you.” “There are times that you have to make time for yourself to get your stuff done,” she said. “You choose to procrastinate and push things off until they absolutely need to be done it, makes it a lot harder to find a good period of time that you can get all of your stuff done. For me, when it needs to get done, I just do it then. It has seemed to make things easier for me and has allowed me to have

Frederick High School grad Davis Richard, No. 10 left, said time management has not been a problem.

MAKING THE ADJUSTMENT PART 3 OF 3 more free time.” For Fort Lupton alum Antonio Marquez, balancing his schedule was “a challenge” at first. “But I took time out of my day to figure out a schedule that could balance all of them while still having fun,” said Marquez, who competes at Western Colorado University in Gunnison. “I have certain days where it could just be working hard on school. some days where I am focusing on my basic needs. My athletic needs are just every day at a certain time. Then my time to really enjoy life comes from the weekends where I can go on a hike, swim, or my favorite, camping. I camp almost every weekend.” Prairie View alum Kyle Melvin had a leg up on the time management piece before he went to Providence Christian College in Pasadena, California. “I have never been that bad at time management, but it is definitely an important skill to have,” he said. “What I do is after practice and classes, I work on my homework so by the late evening I can socialize a lot and relax. Sundays, I make sure to have that as my day of rest from everything.” Frederick grad Davis Richard said balancing his needs wasn’t as hard as he thought it was going to be. “You just need to be able to manage your time well,” said Richard, who went to Central Wyoming Community College. Brighton graduate Abi Read, who wound up at Metropolitan State University in Denver, said the timebalancing piece wasn’t hard for her. “The most important thing I have learned is to take care of things

in order of priority,” she said. “It is also easier to take care of tasks before they become big issues. Laundry would be a good example. I also still live at home, so I didn’t have to overcome homesickness and other adjustments of that sort. However, I do have more responsibilities around the house now than I did in high school.” Then there was Brighton’s Isaiah Madril who, along with his twin brother, Noah, went to the University of Dubuque in Dubuque, Iowa. He had to create a routine. “At first, it was a little tough,” he said. “Now I have a set routine time for homework, I know when I have football, and laundry and things of that sort are easy to do while I’m doing homework.” Fort Lupton alum Jacob Duran, who competes at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, said it wasn’t hard to make the balancing act work, once he had a schedule. “Routine turns normal, and I’ve learned to love the new normal,” he said. “I’m doing OK in school (he had a 3.5-grade point average for the first semester). My goals are 3.8 hopefully soon 4.0.” BHS alum Nate Griffeth, who wound up at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, said student-athlete life was a challenge. “You’re on your own and have to hold yourself accountable to making sure you’re eating right, getting homework done and doing your laundry,” he said. “But you can always find time either at the end of the day or between classes or weekends to get that stuff done. Your teammates are always there to make sure you’re doing the right thing when it comes to eating right and keeping up with academics.” College, athletics and COVID Most thought the adjustment to college and college sports in a time

of a pandemic was different from planned. “But we always find ways to have fun and get together,” said Blake Duran. “The football team tends to stay together since we are with each other all the time. So, we tend to hang out a lot.” “In terms of the amount of studying school-wise and time commitment/ work commitment sport-wise, it is how I expected it to be,” said Scarpino. But he also noted he wanted to see a normal year of school and a football season. Haug said the experience wasn’t what she figured. “But it’s been a good experience so far,” she said. “I’ve enjoyed meeting all my teammates and have enjoyed being able to play at the next level.” “The experience has been what I thought and more,” Marquez said. “I didn’t picture getting this much into running and what it holds. I didn’t imagine meeting so many chill people that are on the same wave as me. I also didn’t think I would be so in love with Gunnison and all of nature in general.” Melvin’s first year of school and sports went according to plan. “The only thing that caught me by surprise with the adjustment is the camaraderie that not only the team has with each other but the coaches as well,” Melvin said. Read said her transition to college has been a mixed bag. “Honestly, after spring 2020, my world changed overnight and all expectations I had for anything were gone. I have heard about the typical college experience and I did not expect that because I go to a commuter college and COVID,” she said. “I also heard things about MSU Denver that haven’t happened yet, and there are things that I was SEE COLLEGE, P27

C R O S S W O R D OZONE P U Z Z L E FROM PAGE 11

James Crooks, a National Jewish Health epidemiologist and professor, said at an event with CoPIRG on July 20 that rising temperatures from global warming are making the ozone mix far worse. “We need to be making changes in the near future” to ozone-producing activity, Crooks said. EPA tightens standards In 2008, the EPA benchmark for ozone was 75 parts per billion. That was lowered in 2015 to 70 parts per billion, and some scientists maintain the health standard should fall even lower than that. Bill Hayes, air quality program coordinator for Boulder County Public Health, noted at the CoPIRG event that Colorado had already put out 27 ozone action day alerts in 2021, worse than last year’s pace. In recent years, the average high readings for ozone in the non-attainment area have been in the upper 70s and lower 80s, well short of the EPA goals, Hayes said. In the state air quality staff’s first proposal, Colorado businesses in high-ozone areas that have more

than 100 employees on-site would have to limit the number of workers commuting alone in cars to 75% of their workforce starting in 2022 and 60% by 2024. Those employers would also have appointed an official transportation coordinator and eliminated parking subsidies, or started charging for currently free parking. While those rules were specific, immediate and apparently mandatory, they did not come with enforcement provisions. There were reporting and recordkeeping requirements, but they also said that employers missing the goals could file “alternative compliance plans.” The CDPHE statement on July 20 said the revised draft rules will “first focus on data gathering components to establish a strong baseline for future policy.” The goal, but not a mandate, the CDPHE staff statement said, would be “aspirational single occupancy vehicle drive rates of 60% or less by 2025 to be demonstrated through employers’ survey reporting.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

COLLEGE FROM PAGE 21

expecting to happen and then did. Mostly, I’m just rolling with it and taking the whole experience one day at a time.” Former Frederick placekicker Lucas Dunker, who’s kicking at Washington State University, said his experience has been “outstanding.” “Everywhere you go on campus, people are always wearing their `Coug’ gear,” he said. “The coaches and staff treat me like I’m family.” Madril said the first year of his college experience worked out just fine. “Coming from a football aspect? Yes, it’s been some of the hardest work I’ve put in throughout my whole life,” Madril said. “I’ve never been in this good of shape ever in my life, and I’m only a freshman so imagine what will happen in a few years.” Jacob Duran said wrestling helped him grow as an individual “without any parent figure telling me what to do.” “I’ve learned if you just get simple work done, on time, everyone is happy,” Duran said. In closing If you want regrets from these new college students and studentathletes, regardless of topic, you won’t find them here. Blake Duran said being a college-level athlete is a dream come true. “And now that my dream is a reality, I couldn’t be happier,” he

said. “The college atmosphere is nothing like I’ve ever seen before. It’s such a different experience from class, to the mood of everyone at practice. There is never a dull moment out on the field.” Going into his first year of college athletics, Griffeth said he knew it would be comparable to a business and that he’d have to put in a lot of work. “So far it’s been a lot of fun being with the guys and working on improving as a team and as an individual,” he said. “Our season ended due to COVID and quarantine but it was a good year to get a feel for what college is like. “I can’t wait for a full year of

the change. “Your parents no longer watch over you, so it’s all on you,” he said. “Compete every day like it’s your last and study your plays. Coaches would rather have the smartest than the strongest kid on the field.” Jacob Duran said he’s been able to keep four main aspects of his life — God, family, business and wrestling — In the same order, which helped him get to his present point in life. “I’m here getting my butt kicked every single day. I go into practice with a mindset of, `Alright today I’m going to get one takedown. Tomorrow, maybe I get two or three,” Duran said. “I’ve learned to love wrestling. If wrestling is where I don’t have to quite grow up yet, I’m fine. That brings me joy not only to myself but also to my father and grandpa.” In addition to qualifying for four state cross country meets and a state track meet, Marquez played basketball. The Bluedevils made the Sweet 16 In the 2020 playoffs just before COVID-19 shut down the postseason. “I used to run probably 12 miles a week. Now I run upwards to 15 or 16 (miles) on my long runs — running upwards to 70 miles a week with having tempo runs, workouts and weightlifting every week,” Marquez said. “It’s a big change, but it has made me such a better runner and has given me a bright future for that All-American goal. “I am really just living my best life at the best place with some great people.”

games and a normal season.” “College has been a huge eyeopener for me. It has definitely forced me to adult way quicker and learn things I would have never learned if I was still in Brighton,” Haug said. “It has allowed me to teach myself and understand different things about living on my own, time management and many other things.” “Keep in mind that this is all happening in the times of COVID, so we are all working in different ways at different times to do the best we can athletically and academically,” Melvin said. “The experience has been great for me,” Richard said. “My teammates are great; my coaches are great. It’s just been a great experience.” Read, who attends a commuter campus and, thus, doesn’t get what most think of as a “full college experience,” said the only part of her college experience that feels real and like a movement forward in life” has been her cross country team and running. “My whole college experience revolves around that team and if that is the only part of the typical college experience that I get to experience, (which I hope it isn’t) I would not leave feeling cheated or disappointed,” she said. “I would know that I got to experience something very few students get to experience.” “It’s been a wonderful experience here, and it feels like such a relief after putting in so many years of hard work,” Dunker said.
