THROW UNDER PRESSURE
DIA chief: ‘Holiday season will be tough’ Security lines long amid passenger surge, labor shortage BY MATT BLOOM DENVERITE
Lizzie Johnson describes her most recent trip through Denver International Airport as “stressful, to say the least.” She’s flown in and out of the airport for decades, but this time was different. When the Denver resident arrived at DIA on Oct. 15 with her husband and two kids, the Transportation Security Administration security line wrapped all the way through the baggage claim area and beyond, she said. At one point, she and her husband got separated in the crowd and had to call each other to link back up. “There were lines and confused people everywhere,” Johnson said. “I’ve never seen it that packed.” Passenger traffic has bounced back sharply at DIA since the pandemic began, leading to record long security wait times and parking bottlenecks at the airport. The airport is currently seeing the fastest recovery of any U.S. hub, according to DIA leadership. Flight records show more than 24 million passengers passed through the airport between January and June. The numbers remain high and are projected to surpass pre-pandemic levels by early next year.

Frederick teacher, coach returns to African homeland BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUITYMEDIA.COM
Though he was born in Denver, Frederick High School physical education teacher and boys basketball coach Enoch Miller had one thing he particularly wanted to do. Return to his family’s native Africa. Miller joined an entourage from Rocky Mountain Christian Church in Frederick and Mission of Hope International to spend a week doing missionary work in the Mathare

Valley, part of the Mathare slum in Kenya and a short distance from Nairobi. The population is about a half-million people who take up about half a square mile. “It’s one of the poorest slums,” Miller said. “There are a million people in an area that extends from Frederick High School to state Highway 52, maybe Colorado Boulevard. It’s unbelievable. You have to see it to believe it.” But for Miller, the week-long trip was more personal. “I am a product of missionary
work through the Pillar of Fire Church,” Miller said. “My father is from Liberia. He lived there until he was 21. That’s where he met my mom. The church didn’t like it. He was black. She was white.” The couple eventually moved to the Denver area, where Miller was born. “It’s always been near and dear to my heart,” he said. “I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for his missionary work.” SEE AFRICA, P6

Andrews confirmed as Westminster manager Pick should bring stability to city, councilors say BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Councilors ratified one of former City Manager Don Tripp’s decisions at their Oct. 27 meeting, signing a contract with former Deputy Manager Jody Andrews as Tripp’s interim replacement. “Our nation, state and city has had plenty of conflict to go around in the past 18 months,” Councilor David DeMott said. “There are times when we find the right person for the job at the right time. You are the right person to steady the ship while we decide what the future of the city is going to be. I couldn’t be more grateful for you being wiling to step into this role.” Councilors voted unanimously to approve an interim contract with Andrews. Mayor Anita Seitz agreed.
“I think the community benefits from some stabilization right now,” Seitz said. “I have had the privilege of working with Mr. Andrews for eight years now. I have seen someone who is dedicated to public service, to making sure all voices are heard and respected and one who gives equal weight to all members of the council and believes in being a true community steward.” Tripp announced his resignation Oct. 7, a day after he accepted the retirement of Police Chief Tim Carlson. In a written statement, Tripp said that he planned to resign but postponed that until the results of a study of police department Andrews operations. A report on that study was released Oct. 6, followed by Carlson’s resignation. “I have for some time now believed that we needed a change a new voice to guide city staff, but I wanted to support our police department and
ensure our officers have leadership in place before I stepped down,” Tripp said in a written statement. “While there is never a perfect time to let go of the reins, I am thankful to have a strong executive team, and I am confident the city will have a smooth transition.” Tripp served as city manager for six years. Before that, Tripp spent three years as director of Westminster’s Parks, Recreation and Libraries beginning 2012. He selected Andrews as his interim replacement while council looks for a permanent replacement. That search should begin in November, after the City Council election. Contract According to the employment agreement with Andrews councilors approved Oct. 27, the city will pay him $245,000 for his time as interim manager. That’s 16 percent more than he was paid as Tripp’s deputy manager. According to the agreement, that salary is at the lower end of the range of seven similar Front
Range cities -- Arvada, Aurora, Boulder, Broomfield, Lakewood and Thornton. That salary, plus a $500 automobile allowance he already received as a deputy manager, will continue until April 26 or until council hires a replacement, according to the contract. At that point, Andrews will return to his previous job as deputy manager. If the council hires a new manager and Andrews does not return to his deputy manager position, he will paid a six-months severance package based on his Interim city manager salary. Andrews is also an author of historical fiction, writing tales taking place during the Christian Crusades in the 10th through 13th centuries and the Indian Wars in the 19thcentury United States. The employment agreement notes his other work and says that he may continue “... even if his writing results in remuneration of any kind, provided that no such outside activities or hobbies shall be contrary to the interests of the City.”
Adams County Manager steps down for new job STAFF REPORT
Adams County’s manager will leave his position at the end of November, taking a job as president of the Metro Denver Economic
Develpment Corp. Ray Gonzalez will also serve as an executive vice president of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce in his new position. He is scheduled to remain with Adams
Performances at the Parsons Theatre located at 1 E. Memorial Parkway, Northglenn 80233
County through November and will start his new position Dec. 1. Gonzales has been with Adams County for nearly nine years and has served as county manager since April 2017. “It has been an honor to serve the residents of Adams County over the last nine years,” Gonzales said in a written statement. “I’m an Adams County native, and my heart will always remain with Adams County. But it is time for me to move on and expand my horizons. I’m looking forward to returning to the economic development sector and being a part of shaping the continued growth in the Denver metro area.” According to the county’s press release, Gonzales oversaw many major initiatives including gaining a Federal Aviation Administration license for the creation of Colorado Air and Space Port; partnering with local agencies to
improve services to residents; enhancing the county’s parks, open space and trails system; building a new state-of-the-art Riverdale Animal Shelter; creating and enhancing multiple employee programs; and overseeing a budget of approximately $600 million. Adams County will conduct a formal search for the next county manager. During this search, Alisha Reis will serve as interim county manager beginning Dec. 1. “While we are sad to see Ray leave Adams County, we certainly understand why Metro Denver EDC would be interested in having him lead their organization,” county commission board Chairwoman Eva Henry said in the press release. “Ray is a dynamic leader who has accelerated the level of professionalism in every department of the county. We wish him continued success on his professional journey.”

Christopher honored by Legacy Foundation Westminster group honors seven for helping the community STAFF REPORT
Former Westminster City Manager and newspaper columnist Bill Christopher was recognized for his community work on Oct. 28, winning the Nancy Heil Lifetime Achievement award by the Westminster Legacy Foundation. The Foundation hosted its 2021 Community Awards Breakfast Oct. 28, offering awards to four residents and three organizations across seven categories. The Westminster Legacy Foundation was founded in 2001 by then-Westminster Mayor Nancy Heil and has donated more than $1 million back to the community and led fundraising efforts for the Armed Forces Tribute Garden, Jessica Ridgeway Memorial Park, and the Nature Playground at Westminster Station Park. The group’s most prestigious honor, the Nancy Heil Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizes

a Westminster resident that has made lifelong contributions of lasting significance to the Westminster community. Past winners have included Westminster Window founder Wilbur Flachman and columnist and former mayor Vi June. Christopher worked for the city of Westminster for 33 years, the last 23 as City Manager. He helped initiate the city’s open space program in 1985 and helped the then-Westminster Mall expand to a 1.3 million-square-foot shopping center. Christopher also served as a director for RTD for eight years. Outside of his government, he has served on a number of community service and charity groups include the Westminster chapter of the Rotary Club, CASA of Adams and Broomfield counties, Brothers Redevelopment and the Westminster Legacy Foundation. Christopher has written a column for the Westminster Window and the Northglenn Thornton Sentinel for more than 20 years. Resident Elizabeth Price was named the Citizen of the Year for her years spent teaching at Dis-
trict 50, now called Westminster Public Schools. She taught language arts at Ranum High School between 1978 and 1992 and served as the school newspaper’s faculty advisor. Since her retirement, she’s served on the Westminster Retired School Emp0loyees Association Board, the Board of Friends of the Westminster Public Library. Metzy Morales, Westminster High School Senior, was named the foundation’s Young Citizen of the Year. Ranked third in her class, Morales is the president of the school’s National Honor Society as well as president and co-founder of the PEEPS group, a peer support and mental wellness organization. She is also a member of the high school’s student council.
Oct. 22, airport CEO Phil Washington asked for patience during the surge, saying DIA was struggling to meet demand due to capacity limits and labor shortages in almost every department.

United Power’s touts technology to keep the power on Microgrid scheme would add stability to rural power supply BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
United Power is looking for a more stable energy grid in case of a power outage, so its asking companies that are interested in investing or are experts in the microgrid, according to a press release. “United Power has a long record of investing in a variety of innovative technologies to learn more about how these systems work and how they can help us serve our members more reliability or reduce costs,” said Dean Hubbuck, chief energy resource officer, in the statement. “We have been discussing the viability of a microgrid project for some time now and want to find a partner willing to invest both money and expertise into this pilot venture.” The microgrid technology is a self-contained power system utilizing battery and solar or other energy resources in a service area, the statement said. Most communities are served by one single transmission line -- the main grid. The microgrid is detached from the main electric grid during an outage. It is used as backup energy using local resources, for instance battery storage, small generators and renewables such as solar and wind farms. It keeps the
power flowing in communities when extreme weather causes the main grid to go down. The microgrid is supported by its own local production source and also sends excess power back to the main grid, according to officials. “Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association recently put up a microgrid in the Red Feather Lakes area to provide some redundancy for those members,” said Heidi Storz, United Power marketing and communications manager. United Power is Colorado’s secondlargest cooperative in the northern Front Range, serving more than 100,000 meters. In 2009, the cooperative was the inventor of renewable energy, energizing the state of Colorado with the first community solar field- Sol Partners, according to officials. Since 2009, United Power added 84 megawatts of renewable generation to its system which includes a landfill methane project, and numerous utility-scale solar fields, including a 4.5 Tesla battery storage system. “This project is the natural evolution of our interest and investment into alternative energy solutions,” stated Hubbuck in the statement. “United Power continues to investigate several different concepts with the end goal of providing unique solutions for our growing membership.” United Power will be soliciting companies’ RFIs for the microgrid projects through the end of the year, with plans to begin the project in 2022. For more information contact Greg Howes, vice president of energy rsource planning, at 303-637-1308 or email ghowes@unitedpower.com.

VBS Miller and the group (including his 13-year-old daughter, Savannah, the church’s pastor, Shawn Moyers, his daughter, Grace, and the church’s campus pastor, Matt Cote) spent a week teaching Vacation Bible School to some 800 youngsters and taking the kids to such things as health check-ups. The church group raised money over the past eight months to cover about 80 percent of the trip. “There’s no playground,” Miller said. “There’s an armed guard at the front. There’s a little bit of a roof, but there are pillars in the way. Outside, it’s pandemonium. It’s the world’s biggest flea market, people selling trinkets, old cars, trash that comes up to almost the top of the driver’s side window.” After school, the group was able to visit some students’ homes in teams of four to five people at a time. “That was the most impactful part,” Miller said. “Most of these homes were the size of a master bedroom closet. It’d be easy for the temperatures to reach 100 degrees. There were wild animals outside. “But that was the best part,” he added. “The kids were 10 times more happy to see us. I’m not exaggerating. We all gave a million hugs. But my daughter gave about 500 hugs to kids. They were so excited to see that people came all the way across

the world to see them.” The oldest kids were in eighth grade. “They wear uniforms, and some of the pants are down near their ankles, so you can see they’ve been wearing them for a year or two,” Miller said. “We were encouraged to ask them questions about their lives, to show that we care, to tell us about their situation, what they do for work. Some are temporary workers, wash dishes. Most of them live on a dollar or two per day. They don’t know where their next meal is going to come from. SEE AFRICA, P7

“We asked, ‘What can we pray for you?’” Miller added. “Some of the answers were pretty heavy, that we help need jobs. So we prayed with them. We did that a couple of times each day. Almost every single one of their situations was dire. “It’s difficult walking out of those homes,” Miller added. “We asked, ‘What can I do?’” As much as Miller and the church group wanted to do beyond the visit, they realized those options were limited. “We can’t give them money,” he said. “The kids get sponsorships, and outside donations (such as the ones from Miller and his wife) help. The goal of MOHI is to empower. Most organizations throw money at them. But in general, that’s not enough to change things. MOHI teaches kids trades, helps parents learn a trade. ‘It’s nice to meet you … and me?’ Miller never thought he’d meet someone with his first name. “After services, we were congregating with people in the church,” Miller said. “One of the kids came up to me, and I realized we shared the same name. They speak Swahili. Some speak English, but most speak Swahili. I took a picture of the kid. That was really cool.” Miller met another young man. As a result, Miller and his wife agreed to become a sponsor. “I walked with a kid during one of those health visits,” Miller said. “He

was quiet and shy, about 5 or 6. He looks at me, he hasn’t said a lot. He looks at me and says, ‘I want to be a doctor.’ I smiled and told him, ‘Yes, you’re going to be a doctor.’” Miller and his team visited the young man’s house after a VBS session. The youngster was still in school at the time. “He’s an amazing kid,” Miller said. Bonding time Miller was in charge of running the games’ session during VBS time. His 13-year-old daughter, helped. “My daughter is very quiet, reserved. She has quirks like I do,” Miller laughed. “One of my goals was to get her to see outside her own world. She was amazing. She did so well with the kids, playing games. Essentially, she was a teacher. “She wants to be a teacher,” Miller continued. “She loved the kids. She understands how good we have it. For some of these kids, the only meal they get is at school. A lot of times, they don’t get a meal. “The best part was having her (his daughter) with me,” Miller continued. “We had a tremendous time bonding. I wanted to take my daughter. It was a dream of mine to let her see life on the other side.” Miller wants to return when his youngest daughter, Chloe, who is about to celebrate her 11th birthday, gets into seventh grade. “Some kids were born into something they have no control over,” Miller said. “I know I can do it. I’d love to go every year. All I know is I enjoyed it. I want to go back. I just don’t know the timetables.”

Impacts The first day of the trip was a holiday for school but not for those who wanted health exams and dental check-ups. Miller’s daughter was right there in the front of the helping line. “She loved doing that,” Miller said. “She got to know the kids. That was one of her favorite parts. She got to talk to them one on one.” Savannah Miller also got an education while delivering an education. “I wanted her to realize that even on a teacher’s salary, we have a lot more than other people,” Miller said. “We are rich by the world’s standards. But I want both my daughters to see how other people
live.” Miller felt some changes in his perspective after this trip. “Every day in America is life or death,” he said. “Life is always crazy. I recognize, at times, that I lack perspective. The most important things in life are faith, family and health. But these days, if we don’t have the material things, we can’t make it. “It gave me more of a perspective of necessities vs. luxuries,” he added. “It made me feel like every day is not life and death. I’m going to do everything I can to be a good teacher and a good coach. “But it’s not the most important thing.”

Don’t count out Tri-County Health yet, leaders say Health chief, Adams Co. officials see collaboration possibility past 2022 BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The formal bonds that hold the public-health partnership among Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties together may be loosening, but the complete demise of the Tri-County Health Department, which has served them for decades, may be less certain to happen than it has appeared. “My best-case scenario is, after a couple months, Adams County works with us and figures out they can provide what they want in terms of local control and (for their residents) in a two-county infrastructure,” John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health Department, told Colorado Community Media in an interview, expressing hope that Adams and Arapahoe could still work together. He also envisioned a future where Arapahoe County partners with Tri-County “as some kind of independent entity” that Arapahoe might contract with — or even that Greenwood Villagebased Tri-County gets “evolved” into a department of Arapahoe County. He said he hopes that whatever
Tri-County becomes could also work with Adams and Douglas counties at least in a transitional role to provide services and help them plan for what their evolution to new health agencies might look like. When the dust settles, he suggested, the outcome of the three counties’ transition may be that each county gains its own board of health — the policy-making body that issues public health orders such as mask mandates, for example — thus freeing them from the need to contend with the political differences among the counties when shaping health policy. And at the same time, the counties may end up with agreements to keep receiving day-to-day public health services from Tri-County Health, at least for some period of time, or they may partner with different entities. Aside from COVID-19 mitigation, Tri-County provides services such as restaurant inspections, nutrition counseling, maternal and child health services, and disease control, among other functions. Taking politics out of health After the end of 2022 — when Douglas County could end its agreement to continue receiving services from Tri-County Health and when Adams County expects to move to a new health department structure — the costs of
Arapahoe and Adams counties pulling away from Tri-County could be in the millions, according to a consulting firm studying the benefits and drawbacks of the counties’ potential decisions to handle public health services alone. Douglas County’s leaders have long clashed with Tri-County Health during the coronavirus pandemic, announcing plans in July 2020 to begin the process of withdrawing from the health agency after its decision to require mask wearing in public. Some of Adams County’s leaders felt frustration with Tri-County’s recent policymaking, too: Some commissioners voted to opt out of the health agency’s school mask order this August before Tri-County removed the ability of counties to opt out of its health orders. But Adams’ message wasn’t anti-mask — County Commissioner Eva Henry said at the time that she agreed with the intent of the order and supports maskwearing. “It’s unfortunate, you know, that politics got into our public health system — it shouldn’t be there,” Henry told Colorado Community Media. “And that was one of the reasons I voted to opt out of the mask order, to put it back in TriCounty’s hands, to take politics out of the public health orders. Commissioners shouldn’t be making public health decisions.” Douglas told CCM that he felt the pandemic wasn’t the only factor that led to the three counties starting to split up. “I think if we wouldn’t have had COVID, I think we would have continued with a three-county relationship,” Douglas said, but he added that the counties — all of which are much more populous now that when they joined the agency — have differences that eventually may have led them to break Tri-County up anyway. But “I don’t think it would have been right now if it hadn’t been for COVID and public health orders,” he said.
Adams County Commissioner Emma Pinter felt that the break- s ing up of Tri-County isn’t just t tied to mask wearing. f “I think there’s been fractures d for some time between the three a counties,” Pinter told CCM. “It t just wasn’t as heightened until we A entered the pandemic and tried to c do pandemic (policy) together.” h Asked whether there are moments during the pandemic she a looks back on and wishes Adams r had its own health department, T Henry said: “Almost weekly.” She said she wanted to have the h conversation “long ago” of Adams — h having its own health agency. “Once a year, all the county commissioners get together and C they talk about the budget,” in thet three counties, Henry said. “And s l talk about what we’ll fund and not going to fund. With Arapahoe County’s budget restrictions t they have, and Douglas County’s f v views, it made those decisions B very hard.” p Adams has different budget a policies than Arapahoe County because Arapahoe is “not deBruced,” meaning the county has l different restrictions under Colo- m rado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, c v Henry said. Adams’ industrial sites and environmental health concerns p s are important to that county’s leaders, one example of a unique a county aspect that lends itself to t being handled by local leaders e alone, according to Henry. “Other counties shouldn’t be influencing the public health of another county,” Henry said. Difference in ‘consistency’ For Adams County’s Pinter, watching other counties give less support or less-consistent backing to John Douglas’ policy recommendations was part of what motivated her to want to break from Tri-County. “If you watch the votes of the duly appointed board of health members, those three Adams board of health members conSEE TRI-COUNTY, P9

She added: “If you look at the votes on the board of health members of Arapahoe and Douglas, the same consistency is not true.” She added that she wants to have a board of health “that always puts the wellbeing of our residents first.” Before Douglas County exited Tri-County, the agency’s board of health consisted of nine members — three each from Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas. Christa Bruning, an Adams County spokesperson, signaled that the county plans to enter into some type of partnership for public health services in the future. “Adams County intends to contract with a local health agency for many of its public health services starting in January 2023,” Bruning said. “It’s too early in the process to know who that health agency is.” Henry said Adams County is looking at Denver’s health department model, in which Denver contracts to receive nonprofit services for “a lot of its programs.” Adams could hypothetically partner with Broomfield or Jefferson counties, too, Henry said as an example. Those counties have their own public health agencies. “And if Tri-County really wanted to survive, what they could
look at is becoming a nonprofit and … contracting out to the three counties,” Henry said. Douglas, the Tri-County health chief, said he has heard of the idea that his agency could become a nonprofit, but the legal ins and outs of that weren’t immediately clear. In Arapahoe County, where TriCounty’s headquarters currently sit, Douglas said that “it could be we go away entirely and they (Arapahoe) hire our staff to work for them, or we stay as some kind of independent entity and they might contract for us, or we get evolved into a department of the county.” Echoing Douglas, Pinter expressed support for leaning on Tri-County in some way as Adams transitions to a new public health structure. “I think that in that transition, we have the opportunity to use the expertise of the staff of TriCounty Health. They’ve carried us through a pandemic … we owe a great debt of gratitude to the staff,” Pinter said, noting that the staff have faced a contentious and combative atmosphere toward public health officials amid the pandemic. She said that over the next year, the county will need to think about whether it wants to contract with Tri-County for some period of time. ‘Too early to speculate’ Arapahoe County commissioners Nancy Jackson, Nancy Sharpe and Jeff Baker declined through a spokesperson to be interviewed
for this story. Luc Hatlestad, spokesperson for Arapahoe County, told CCM that Arapahoe’s leaders preferred not to “go into the political” aspects of the situation regarding the counties transitioning to new public-health structures. Hatlestad said he didn’t know whether there have been specific conversations among county leaders about the idea of Tri-County becoming Arapahoe’s health department, but that the physical headquarters being there and employees living in or around Arapahoe “would contribute to possibility of that happening.” Regarding contracting public health services with a specific county or agency, Arapahoe hasn’t gotten to the point where its leaders are planning whether to do that, but if that becomes a beneficial option, the county could consider that, Hatlestad said. Still, he emphasized that Arapahoe County isn’t at the stage where it has firm plans of how to transition to a new public-health structure. The county said in a statement that it’s “too early to speculate how things will unfold.” “Our board is going to use this an opportunity to explore whatever options we have to keep services at the level that our residents expect and deserve and also looking for ways to make intelligent fiscal decisions,” Hatlestad said. Douglas County’s elected leaders formalized the decision to leave Tri-County in a meeting Sept. 7, opting to form their own board of health — including two
of the county’s three elected commissoners — in charge of matters such as countywide public health orders. But the county decided to continue to receive all services from Tri-County through 2022, approving an agreement on Sept. 28. However, on Oct. 27, CCM reporter Elliott Wenzler reported that officials of Douglas County’s new health department and TriCounty Health were discussing how to transition various COVID-19 services from Tri-County’s administration to Dougco in the near future after a Tri-County official called a county order letting people opt out of mask-wearing rules “greatly concerning.” A federal judge later temporarily blocked Douglas County’s opt-out order at the request of the county school district, which had previously mandated masks inside its schools. The Adams commissioners brought forward a resolution at an Oct. 26 public hearing to provide notice of Adams’ decision to leave Tri-County. The vote was unanimous, Pinter said. Arapahoe has appeared less keen to cut ties with the health agency, saying in an Oct. 19 statement: “The Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners is saddened that our neighboring counties have chosen to end the productive 55-year partnership with the Tri-County Health Department.” “The Board intends to do what it can to support the many dedicated employees of Tri-County Health throughout this process,” the statement said.

Many riders mean two-wheeled touring fun Group offers friendly rides for experienced and inexperienced riders BY KATHLEEN DUNLAP SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
It doesn’t matter what kind of bike you have, Bike Friendly organizer Bill Orchard thinks group rides — and especially group rides with a fun theme — tend to be more fun. “The best parts of the ride are the people and the bikes,” Orchard said. “No two people have the same bike.” The Bike Friendly Arvada cycling group launched in 2013 as part of an initiative by the city to foster community. Today, it continues because of volunteers. Orchard dedicates time and effort to create fun and challenging rides for people of all ages and abilities. Plus, all bike types are welcome. Orchard’s experience with Denver’s Bicycle Touring Club made him the prime candidate to lead Bike Friendly. When he first took over as organizer, only a half-dozen people rode regularly. Orchard rallied the core group and planned out rides for the entire year. “Each ride has a theme,” he said. The theme encourages participation from the neighborhood. “We’ve done a brewery ride, a fire station ride, a Father’s Day ride, and a Rockies’ game ride,” Orchard
says. “More people come when it’s theme-based.” The group also participates in city-wide events, such as Bike to Work Day, Arvada Days, and Trails Day. The type of ride varies from month-to-month. The recreationstyle rides are usually 12 to 20 miles long, while the family-friendly rides average five to six miles. Before the ride begins, cyclists gather around the group’s flag while the ride leader provides details on the route and explains any safety guidelines. Riders also must sign a waiver before going with the group. The most successful rides have been the family-oriented ones. The Ice Cream ride, where the route was short and ended with the cold treat, was one of the most popular rides with a total of 42 cyclists. Orchard chuckles as he recalls trying to wrangle all the kids on bikes into an organized group. “It was fun,” he said. The other ride Orchard enjoys is the annual Hot Chocolate Family Ride in October. The easy five-mile route ends at Bluegrass Lounge in Olde Town Arvada where riders indulge in warm cocoa and the kid riders receive a gift. New faces The core group has grown over the last few years. Still, Orchard expects at every ride that at least two or three new faces will show up. The group is active on the social media site, MeetUp, and tracks upcoming

ride information as well as attendees through the site. Orchard’s goal continues to be “more people out on the rides!” Brandon Figliolino, a core member of the group and ride leader, agrees. “The more people we can have out on bikes the better,” Figliolino says. He heard about the group in 2014 while attending a city of Arvada meeting. The meeting emphasized the fun of community rides, and Figliolino responded enthusiastically. “People come from all over the city to join us,” he said. Figliolino’s favorite ride is the
Graveyard Ride in October. Bill Orchard leads riders on a tour of three historical cemeteries in Arvada during a 14-mile trek. “Bill gives the history of the graveyards during the ride, and it’s so interesting,” Figliolino comments. Figliolino’s passion for cycling extends beyond just the group rides, though. He wants more people to bike every day. “The larger interest we have in cycling, the greater opportunity we have to say to the City, `Hey - this road needs fixing, or we need a bike line here,’” he said.

Expanded outdoor dining could go on in Denver The pandemic program is called a ‘crucial lifeline’ BY REBECCA SPIESS DENVERITE
Extended outdoor drinking and dining options may very well become permanent public infrastructure in Denver’s near future. Mayor Michael Hancock announced Oct. 26 that multiple city agencies will work with restaurant owners to support their outdoor dining options through new permitting and zoning processes. “Extended patios have provided a crucial lifeline to restaurants through the COVID-19 pandemic, and Denver restaurants overwhelmingly support the program,” said Mollie Steinemann with the Colorado Restaurant Association. The original temporary outdoor dining program received hundreds of applications just days after implementation in May 2020. The program was extended in April so business owners could renew their temporary outdoor dining licenses all the way through October 2022. As of Oct. 26, 373 restaurants have used the policy to offer outdoor dining options, and at least 111 will continue through the winter months. A Colorado Restaurant Association survey found 68% of Denver

took part in the patio program, more than half of their summer revenue came from outdoor dining, and that revenue, in turn, directly created or saved around 30% of their staff jobs, they reported. “If it wasn’t for the program, I don’t think we would actually be in business right now,” Simeran Baidwan, owner of Denver’s Little India restaurants, said during the Oct. 26 press conference. “Because of that expansion, we were able to keep our employees.” The restaurant did not furlough employees, many of whom Baidwan said are immigrants with families to support. Perceptions of the public right-of-way, and public spaces in general, have changed drastically during the pandemic. Restaurants have been creative and adaptive in utilizing formerly public spaces — like the grassy strip between the road and sidewalk, unused parking spaces, or even the street itself — to continue serving customers. However, not every establishment’s outdoor options will be approved as permanent add-ons. “With traffic levels returning back to normal, we won’t be able to have every dining area that has expanded seating into the public right of way to continue. I want to say that clearly,” Hancock said. “What we’re going to do is to go by a case-by-case, restaurant-byrestaurant, bar-by-bar assessment of what is possible.” The work will be split up between the myriad public agencies that govern businesses and public spaces. For example, the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure will evaluate

the safety of the outdoor dining options, which include things like snow and ice with winter just around the corner, while Community Planning and Development will launch the public process of creating new zoning laws to apply to these temporary spaces. And while the city will continue to reserve the right to revoke licenses in the name of things like public safety, these new assessments will allow restaurants to keep serving in outdoor spaces for the foreseeable future. The new October 2022 deadline gives the city and its various agencies some time to thoroughly review the applications, although the timeline to complete the project is not concrete. It’s also a collaborative process, and certain city agencies are working with innate limitations. Changing city zoning takes months and involves public hearings before the Denver Planning Board and City Council. These zoning changes likely won’t be permanent by October 2022, but Community Planning and Development says it will continue offering guidance and working with each individual business in the meantime. While nothing has been decided yet, Hancock did note that the clamor for certain streets to remain pedestrian-only has grown during the pandemic, especially around Larimer Square, the Pearl Street District and Glenarm Street.

Zooming in: Let’s discuss the Thornton Council fuss
T
he issue has come up about a council member “attending” city council meetings via Internet means such as Zoom in lieu CROSS of physical attenCURRENTS dance at City Hall. Certainly, this remote meeting practice was used exclusively during COVID when state health rules prohibited gatherings such as city council meetings Bill Christopher with social distancing and other restrictions. Now, that those rules have loosened up regarding COVID restrictions, Mayor Jan Kulmann and some council members are voicing their opinion that some restrictions should be imposed on council members who rely on Zoom “attendance” for formal council meetings and study sessions. However, there seems to be more below the surface in focusing on Council member Jacque Phillips.
Council member working full-time in Alamosa Council member Phillips has taken a new job which takes her to Alamosa. She was hired in June as Executive Director for the San Luis Valley’s Board of Cooperative Education Services, which involves 14 southern Colorado school districts. Apparently, there was a rumor that Ms. Phillips had moved out of town with her new job. She says no and points to her voter registration, fulltime residence and law practice being located in Thornton. Her council term runs to November, 2023. I mention her term of office to point out that this issue is not going away after the November 2 election. A relevant policy issue to debate and decide Setting aside any relationship problems between the Mayor and Phillips, the issue of attendance relying on remote networking programs like Zoom is a valid policy issue given the less restrictive status of the COVID virus and the expectations of elected officials.
Furthermore, the point made by council member Adam Matkowsky regarding effective representation of your constituents requires physical presence, certainly makes sense. On the other hand, the occasional use of a remote meeting connection seems fair, as pointed out by council member Julie Marvin. Unexpected situations pop up like illness, an issue with your child etc. are legit situations. Some governmental governing bodies have eliminated the virtual broadcasts so it is a moot point in those cases, but some still broadcast along with in-person attendance. I think there is merit in keeping the virtual broadcasts as an option for the public as it reaches out to the public audience and offers an easy way for them to “tune-in” to city council, school board or county commissioner meetings. Otherwise, many of those same viewers probably would not attend in person. Mayor Kulmann had mentioned some options to solve the issue. One of them was a limited num-
ber of times a council person could use a remote connection to “attend” the council meeting. Such an approach seems reasonable. I believe four times a year was suggested which seems workable. If Council member Phillips is required to be at her Alamosa job full-time, it would seem that she cannot carry water on both shoulders effectively. If that is the case, it might be time to “fish or cut bait” regarding her council status. What led to city manager Tripp’s $455,000 payout? Mr. Tripp has taken his $455,000 of taxpayer dollars to the bank and flew out the door of City Hall. That part is now history, as distasteful as it is. However, we need to go to the root of the problem of such excessive compensation of a public servant which did not seem to bother very many citizens at his hiring in February, 2015.

Personal growth precedes, boosts professional growth
L
ast week I had the privilege to participate in a professional development program for salespeople delivered by my good friend and mentor WINNING Bryan Flanagan. Although I have WORDS seen Bryan and many other corporate trainers deliver quality programs for more than 20 years, I still pick up something new, or a lesson that needed to be reinforced. I listened to this Michael Norton one sentence, and I was immediately transported back to hearing Zig Ziglar talk about how important it is to develop the person, not just the skill set. Here is what was said: “Personal growth always precedes professional growth.” Having spent most of my professional career in the personal and professional development industry, I know this to be an accurate statement. Working with companies of all sizes, one of the questions I receive is around guidance for a sales training program or leadership development program that can help compa-

nies accelerate growth. And before I answer, I ask a question in return, “What have you done so far to build the people in your organization?” Almost everyone will answer with a list of courses or companies that they have worked with to address or focus on a specific skill set such as sales training, time management, communication skills, customer service training, presentation skills, etc. When this happens, I pause and reframe the question. I acknowledge that those skills absolutely help develop capabilities, and then I ask them to think about some of the other character traits that can impact their people personally and professionally while still helping the company to grow. Some understand my question as they recognize that when we work on building our people, the people will in turn help us build our business. Equally, if not more important than the skills mentioned above, are the softer skills training such as confidence, developing a positive attitude, building winning relationships at home and at work, goal setting and achievement, and learning to work and live with hope. When
we can instill or work to strengthen these qualities, our people will be in a much better frame of mind to receive the other skills-based training that can further their career while contributing to their team and the organization. Having been in the people building business for most of my life, I can share with you that unfortunately many organizations miss this opportunity. This is a shame because there is so much available data that supports the fact that when we work on the personal growth aspects of our people, the professional growth always follows. Companies who overlook investing in personal development opportunities often find themselves paying substantially higher replacement costs. Sometimes we fall into the trap of believing that all the people we hire or who are already a part of our team don’t need any help in their personal growth. This is flawed thinking because each of us will go through life’s challenges, and we may not always be prepared for the impact or toll those challenges can take on our lives. Even some of our people whom we see as strong and capable may be going through

public administration degree(s), was hired as city manager, leaving his Director of Parks, Recreation & Libraries post in Westminster. The then-city council — which approved his initial employment contract— included then-Mayor Herb Atchison and then-council member Anita Seitz. The other five councillors who voted in favor making it unanimous are not currently on city council. 2020 employment contract was a true “golden parachute” Subsequent employment contracts each year were approved by a majority of council with the most current contract being in the fall of 2020. It should be noted that council member DeMott did NOT vote in support of any of Tripp’s contract renewals.
Atchison, Seitz, Skulley and Voelz approved the 2020-2021 contract which included a $300,000plus base salary, a $750 per month car allowance along with cashing in accrued leave when leaving the city’s employment. Councillors DeMott, Smith and Seymour voted NOT to approve this lucrative deal for Mr. Tripp. Councilors must own that contract So, now we have Seitz, Skulley and Voelz scurrying to distance themselves from this above-market level of compensation now that the $455,000 figure is out in the open. A Channel 7 reporter told me that Seitz declined to comment on Tripp’s payout. A “Thank you” goes to Channel 7 and the Denver Post for enlightening the Westminster public as well as Denver metro citizenry. Also, thanks to Dino Valente for his CORA request which got the ball rolling. However, what you sow you must reap. So, Mayor Seitz and Coun-

Immediate attention is needed Looking ahead, the mayor, city council and administrative leadership need to come to grips with numerous issues. Key among them are tightening the spending reins and cutting back on the bureaucracy of bloated staffing in some departments. The City of Westminster has become way too bogged down in red tape and procedures. Just ask any developer, contractor or business owner, who can cite examples of this “red tape creep.” It behooves the council and staff to make this a priority. Regarding spending, Council should start with the city manager’s compensation package. This needs to be culled back to a competitive market level to fit the situation. Previous Mayor Herb Atchison and the three council
members got way too generous and friendly with Mr. Tripp and his compensation. Also, council and economic development staff needs to re-think and re-calculate what reasonable incentives are for new developments. As more apartment development come forward (oh yes, they will unless the new council stops them), staff and council need to first decide what residential development Westminster wants and needs. Let’s not aim to be the capital of affordable housing apartments. Other cities and counties need to step up and do their part. Let’s think moderate and not excessive numbers when it comes to affordable apartments. With the quick success of townhomes and condos at the “New Downtown”, that should tell the new council that these housing options should be expanded along with the “missing middle” single family homes — assuming the required water is in place.

i rchery is more than how Katniss Everdeen won the d t Hunger Games. t It’s whatever the archer wants it to be — a friendly competition; a therapeutic outlet for one’s i c frustration; a challenging, physical exercise; a mental game; a way a i to hunt; a way to make friends; a discipline; a skill; a sport; and much b e more. e Littleton-area resident Adrian Evangelista said shooting every day d at Bear Creek Archery, in unincorporated Arapahoe County near c Englewood, is a way to get out of the l house. a “(Archery) teaches you how to b manage your frustration … and learn from your mistakes,” he said. b a “ … Life could be boring without c sports.” As the weather turns colder and o the days get shorter, many archers d have moved indoors for target-shooting and tournament season, which s v runs until March. t Archery in general has become more mainstream in recent years, and its popularity has grown during a the pandemic because it’s a “COVID V friendly” activity, Bear Creek Archery owner Dave Marsh said. Kevin Lewis, who owns Quick Draw Archery in Highlands Ranch, said the sport usually sees an uptick in interest after the Summer Olympics. But, Hollywood is also responsible for archery’s increasing popularity, especially among girls. After 2012’s “The Hunger Games” movie came out, Lewis said everybody wanted to be like Katniss. He also wondered whether Disney’s upcoming “Hawkeye” TV show will SEE ARCHERY, P17
A holiday JAAMM that celebrates all arts

S
o often festival experiences are centered around a particular kind of creation - film, music, books, etc. The JCC Mizel Arts and Culture Center’s 14th annual Neustadt Jewish Arts, Authors, Movies and Music (JAAMM) Festival blends all of them in an event that spans almost two-and-a-half months. “The event was originally conceived as more of a literary festival, and from there other things started to grow,” said Rich Cowden, general manager of the culture center. “We started asking how there could be more arts and culture involved and that’s how it expanded to where we are now.” The festival, which began on Oct. 6 and runs through Tuesday, Dec. 21, features more than 20 events in all kinds of areas film screenings, author talks, local theater performances, comedy performances and more. Typically, there are more live music elements, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic that has been scaled back for this
year’s festival. The JCC Mizel Arts and Culture Center’s, 350 S. Dahlia St., COVID-19 policy is that attendees 12 years old and older must be fully vaccinated and all attendees, regardless of age, will also be required to wear a mask at all times. As such, there will be three options for participating in the JAAMM events: in-person, virtual and hybrid. “This is a great opportunity to engage in a really participatory way over a relatively short period of time,” Cowden said. “We’re not just interested in showing people these things and asking them to go home. There’s a level of involvement we want to achieve so people feel like they’re part of the experience.” Some upcoming highlights from the festival include: Tuesday, Nov. 9, 7 p.m. - Judy Batalion. Hybrid Event. The Fred Marcus Memorial Holocaust Lecture will showcase Batalion and her book, “The Light of Days: The Untold
S t
Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler’s Ghettos.” Tuesday, Nov. 30, 7 p.m. - Colum McCann. Hybrid event. National Book Award-winning and bestselling author McCann will discuss his monumental novel “Let the Great World Spin,” his latest work, “Apeirogon,” and more about life as an author. Tuesday, Dec. 7, 7 p.m. - Rabbi Sandra Lawson. Hybrid event. Rabbi Lawson will speak on the topic “Black, Jewish & Queer: Navigating Judaism with Multiple Identities and Building Bridges.” “This festival is really about building community and conversation, building a place to have constructive, creative and challenging conversations,” Cowden said. “A lot of people might be reluctant to come to an event because they don’t know if they’ll like it. But if you come into a space which is accessible, friendly, SEE READER, P17

likewise generate interest in the sport. Evangelista, who started archery in 2013, recommended people give it a shot at least once, saying, “If you like it, you like it.”
Setting their sights on indoor competitions This time of year, Lewis said indoor ranges see a mix of people doing it for fun, children learning the sport, and archers practicing for tournaments. For a serious archer, he said, indoor and outdoor archery are two completely different games. There are more options outdoors, including hunting and 3D target courses; but indoor has its own world of events and specialists too, Lewis explained. Conifer-area resident Dave Cenedella said he and his wife plan to compete in the Thursday night league at Bear Creek Archery. Cenedella, who’s been practicing archery for six years, said he enjoys bow-hunting and shooting in his backyard range. Like rifle-shooting, archery requires self-reliance, he continued, but it doesn’t impact one’s hearing like rifle-shooting does. “It’s super-challenging,” Cenedella said of archery. “There are so many variables, and you have to do everything the same way every time.” Right now, Colorado’s best archers are preparing for this February’s Vegas Shoot, the annual indoor “Su-

He’s competed in indoor and outdoor competitions, winning several across Colorado. Treloar also enjoys the ritualistic side of archery. The state has a huge archery community, with lots of shops and organizations, so there’s something going on every night, he said. Fellow staff shooter Rick Typher, who lives in Highlands Ranch, appreciates how archery is therapeutic and a mental game, stating, “It’s a battle against yourself.” Un-bow-lievable fun Whether archers only recently started shooting or have been practicing it for years, local indoor ranges have something for everyone, including private lessons and classes for all experience levels. Many rent out recurve bows, which are generally easier to draw but harder to hold, local professional archer Steve Marsh explained. Meanwhile, compound bows are individualized and end up being harder to draw but easier to hold, he said. “You can’t expect to master (archery) overnight,” he said. Marsh, who works at Bear Creek Archery and shoots for the Matthews Archery team, described how he started archery at age 8 but didn’t become proficient until he was 20. Littleton’s Ben Hartford and his son Nathan, 14, started archery earlier this fall. Ben used to do it at camp, and revisited it when his

cousin gifted him a bow. Since then, he and Nathan have been practicing how to sight their targets. “It’s a skill,” Hartford continued. “The more you do it, the better you get.” Isaac Smith, a college student from Highlands Ranch, started five or six years ago and described it a fun hobby that he revisits whenever he can. He enjoys both indoor and outdoor archery, and likes setting up
makeshift ranges whenever he goes camping. “It can be relaxing if you don’t stress about it,” he said. Madison Myles, who lives in the Parker area and started archery when she was 10, also has an outdoor range at home and tries to shoot at least once a week. “I like the joy of it — the adrenaline rush,” she said. “It’s fun.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — SZA at the Fillmore Auditorium It’s been four years since R&B sorceress SZA released her majorlabel debut, “Ctrl,” and the album has held firm as one of the best records of any genre from the 2010s. Aside from a few singles and features, it’s mostly been quiet from her during that time. What I’m trying to say is, we need more SZA, and we need it now. Hopefully, the fact that she’s hitting the road is a good sign of new music on the horizon. SZA is embarking on a relatively short west coast tour and Denver’s Fillmore Auditorium, 1510 Clarkson St., is fortunate enough to be one of the stops she’ll be making. She’ll perform at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 9. For information and tickets, visit www.livenation.com. Clarke Reader’s column on culture appears on a weekly basis.

Let’s talk about death. “It’s really a Western culture thing, this death denial,” says Emily Nelson. “Where we just don’t really think about it or talk about it and it’s just become rather taboo.” Nelson, the founder and CEO of Be a Tree Cremation in Denver, believes there is more to death than traditional practices. “Our current conventional method of burial and cremation really perpetuates the idea that somehow we’re separate from nature as humans. We’re not … We don’t need to be preserved in any way,” Nelson says. Be a Tree Cremation, the second facility of its kind in Colorado, specializes in the process of water cremation — technically known as “alkaline hydrolysis.” The process, which was legalized in Colorado in 2011, is surprisingly simple. “The decedent gets loaded directly into this vessel,” says Nelson, motioning to a large cylindrical metal tube behind her. Then, water is pumped into the vessel along with a small amount of potassium hydroxide. The mixture mimics the natural decomposition process and gently dissolves the body, she says. When the process is finished, all that remains in the vessel are skeletal remains and things like gold teeth and artificial joints from surgeries such as knee replacements. The skeletal remains are ground into ashes for the family. Other items are safely recycled. The process also creates a nutrient-dense liquid branded as “Tree Tea.” Family members have the option to purchase small bottles of the liquid to use as nourishment for their plants at home. Nelson says water cremation is one of the most natural and environmentally-friendly ways to return to the earth, which is what originally inspired her to research the process. “At Be a Tree Cremation, we really have two goals,” she explains. “To help people live on through nature, and to reduce the carbon footprint of the funeral industry, which is not insignificant.” The process of water cremation uses about 90% less energy than typical flame cremations, Nelson says, adding that flame cremations also emit the same amount of carbon dioxide as a 600-mile road trip. “We have no emissions or smoke coming from our building,” says Nelson. Prior to opening Be a Tree in Sun Valley, Nelson worked with a corporation that owns over 2,000 funeral homes across the county. “At that point I really saw behind the curtain of conventional burial and cremation work, and just didn’t feel right about it. I just knew there had to be a different option for people,” Nelson says.

S Emily Nelson is CEO of Be a Tree Cremation in Denver, which offers an alternative to PHOTO BY ALEXIS KIKOEN/ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS traditional end-of-life services.
Cremations have only recently surpassed burials as the most popular end-of-life option. According to 2019 estimates from the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA), by 2040 “the cremation rate in the U.S. is projected to be 78.7% while the burial rate is predicted to be just 15.7%, signifying that cremation is no fading trend.” A traditional fire cremation is estimated to produce an average of 534.6 pounds of carbon dioxide per person. As journalist Eleanor Cummins noted in a report this month for Wired, that is a higher figure than the per capita emissions of Afghanistan. Be a Tree Cremation currently has one water cremation system and works with about 10 clients per month. From start to finish, the process takes about 18 hours. “Realistically we can really only work with one person a day,” says Nelson. “Once we hit one person a day in the month, we’ll really be at capacity here and start looking at other ways that we can serve more people.” Nelson says Be a Tree’s packages start at $2,250 and they include water cremation, transportation and a basic urn. That is significantly cheaper than the average burial process. A casket alone costs an average of $2,000, according to the Federal Trade Commission. In 2019, the cost of burials in Colorado averaged $6,907 while the average cremation came out to $4,517, according to data from the NFDA. While Be a Tree’s process is timeconsuming, having fewer clients means that Emily and her team can work closely and intentionally with

They regularly test the Tree Tea, which is a non-toxic solution of amino acids, peptides, sugars, and soap. The exact makeup “will vary from person to person,” says Nelson. The flowers from Half Moon Farm travel all over Colorado — to weddings, funerals, dinner parties, and a variety of other celebrations. “It’s an opportunity for people to look at the story of life,” says Rooney, “and this regenerative idea behind us going back to our most physical sense, the earth.”

From cardiac arrest, to heartfelt meeting with first responders Grateful survivor gives thanks to those who saved his life BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Demetrios Fefes is lucky to be alive. He knows it. On a blustery October morning, Fefes, his wife, Kristen, and his two young sons, wanted everyone involved in keeping him that way, to know how truly thankful he is. A Porsche enthusiast who loves to go fast, Fefes and a friend were putting his car through its paces at the Colorado State Patrol Track in Golden, Aug. 26. While taking a break and sipping some water between laps, Fefes started feeling faint. He says he immediately fell face-forward into the arms of his friend. But it wasn’t a mere fainting spell — Fefes’ heart had stopped beating. That’s not the lucky part. But as these things go, Fefes was perhaps the luckiest man (not quite) alive. Because at the same time he collapsed, two men who would help save his life were pulled over to take a break at the exact same spot. Dr. Brian Beezley, a retired family physician, and Paul Mueller, an ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) Specialist at Porter Hospital are (luckily for Fefes) Porsche enthusiasts too. The duo

didn’t know Fefes, but they did know exactly what to do at that moment — CPR — although both agree it was a daunting task. Beezley said he had to do CPR on a patient only one time, 30 years ago. Mueller, who spends his days running a life-saving piece of machinery in an Intensive Care Unit, said he’s been certified in CPR for more than two decades, but in all of those years this was the first time he’s had to spring into action to try to save a life outside of a hospital setting. For several minutes, the two administered life-saving chest com-

pressions, keeping blood flowing through Fefes’ vital organs, helping to prevent brain damage and buying precious time until emergency responders arrived. EMT, Joey Cinalli, and Paramedics, Timothy Holloway and Hunter Held, are the Stadium Medical ambulance crew that responded, along with Pleasant View firefighters, to the Fefes call. Held, who drives the ambulance, said the call had initially been dispatched as a “fainting party” emergency. It wasn’t until the ambulance crew had almost reached the spot where Fefes was being tended to by Beezley and Mueller, that they heard CPR was in progress and realized they’d be treating a cardiac arrest. Taking over for Beezley and Mueller, and using a defibrillator to get Fefes’ heart beating again, the first responders put their years of training and experience to work as they rushed Fefes to St. Anthony Hospital. Holloway, a veteran who served in Afghanistan, said he’s really never seen anything like the series of events leading to Fefes’ survival. “I know medics who’ve been on the job for 30 years that haven’t had someone they’ve worked on leave the hospital with full neurological status intact — able to live their lives as though the event never happened,” he said. “So, it’s a pretty profound reality that Demetrios is here.” Cinalli, an army medic for seven years prior to becoming a paramedic, also served in Afghanistan. He said pursuit of an outcome like Fefes had is the reason EMTs and paramedics train as hard as they do. “The entire reason we do this job is to serve our community and make sure we do it right,” he said. “The amount of work and effort and training that we’ve (Stadium Medical staff and Pleasant View Firefighters) put into this community — Demetrios is a prime example of when it all comes together perfectly.” Fefes’ wife, Kristen, wiped tears away as she described the shock of walking into the hospital that day. She’d gotten a call that Fefes had been taken to the hospital, but wasn’t given any details. She knew he’d been suffering from a double

ear infection, and assumed his trip to the hospital had something to do with that. When she arrived at St. Anthony and asked about her husband, she was told no one with his name had been admitted. A moment later an emergency room nurse told her there was an unidentified patient in the ER that was unable to communicate. She said at that moment, the gravity of the situation came crashing down on her. Three days later, surgeons performed heart surgery on Fefes — a quadruple bypass that took more than eight hours. Four days later, he was home again, reassessing his diet and exercise routines. Fefes says making those changes has been easy so far. He knows it’s still early in the process and hopes that as time goes by, he can keep bad habits at bay. But he says there’s more to it than diet and exercise alone. “Everyone talks about genetics and diet, but no one talks about stress,” he said. “And that’s probably the bigger killer. That’s what I’m learning from this, is the stress or anger or whatever, can make a big difference.” If he’s taken any message from this ordeal, Fefes says it’s that it can happen to anyone, at any time. He’s got several more weeks of a 12-week rehab program to go through. But he’s already thinking about ways to pay his good fortune forward. Fefes wants to fund, and even lead, CPR classes in the future, in hopes of seeing more outcomes like the one he had. In case you’re wondering, meetings between first responders and people they save are quite rare. This meeting was made possible when Fefes’ insurance card was accidentally left in the ambulance that transported him to the hospital. It was found and mailed to his home, along with a note offering him the chance to meet the crew that helped save his life. There’s that luck again. To put it into perspective, if just one of the actions contributing to his survival hadn’t occurred that day, his luck would quite possibly, have run out and a happy day of giving thanks to all of the people who saved him, would never have happened.

Arvada In-N-Out Burger plan gets major modification Virtual neighborhood meeting scheduled for November 10 STAFF REPORT
In-N-Out Burger has taken the first steps towards opening a location at the Arvada Marketplace shopping center. The popular west-
coast burger chain, which expanded into Colo. In Dec. 2020, has filed an application for major modification with the City of Arvada and scheduled a neighborhood meeting for Nov. 10, at 5:30 p.m., on Zoom. The request for major modification concerns of a portion of the Arvada Marketplace parking lot, located at the intersection of 52nd Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard. The request asks for the demolition of 1.25 acres of the parking area in
the northwest corner of the shopping center. In-N-Out’s proposal calls for the development 3,879 square foot restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a drive though. The restaurant would occupy a single-story building, which is included in the major modification request as a two-story building is required due to limitations on building heights within the Arvada Marketplace covenants.
The neighborhood meeting is the first step in the development process, as the proposal would need to be approved by both planning commission and city council to come to fruition. Dates for planning commission and city council hearings have not been set as of this time. Project descriptions estimate that construction will take approximately six months. Galloway is listed as the developer on the application.
Youth invited to enter Space Foundation art contest STAFF REPORT
The Space Foundation is inviting art students to enter the 12th annual International Student Art Contest. The 2022 International Student Art Contest theme is “Living, Working and Playing on the Moon.” Entries must be original, space-oriented artwork, and can be a drawing, painting, mixed media or digital work.

Reading five to six books every month for an entire year to select material and authors for the Rocky Mountain Literary Festival is just part of the leg work behind the scenes of the annual book-lovers event. Book lovers united with multiple authors for a day of presentations, auctions, autographing, socializing and more at the seventh annual festival on Oct. 16 at Mount Vernon Canyon Club in Golden. The festival was created and continues to benefit Bootstraps Inc., a local scholarship/loan organization that supports continuing education for mountain area students. In six years, the festival has raised $34,000 for scholarships. It featured Andrea Bobotis, Pam Houston, David Treuer, Carter Wilson and Melanie Crowder, best-selling authors who have won awards from USA today, the New York Times and more. Nancy Heister, Bootstraps’ director of development, has been to six

Melanie Crowder, acclaimed author of numerous young adult historical fiction books, was the MC for the event.
RMLF events, calling them “a great gathering of people who really love to read.” This year’s event hosted about 150 people in person and had a virtual audience of around 30. “People are hungry to get together in person,” Heister said, especially after last year’s event was completely virtual. Bobotis gave a presentation about her recent novel, “The Last List of Miss Judith Kratt.” She started by asking the audience to imagine something important to them and explaining how beginning to write about objects eventually led her to reconnect with her southern roots.
“I grew up in a southern home crowded with heirlooms,” she said. Tanya Kaanta from Evergreen was one of the original organizers of the event in 2015. This year she hosted one of the authors. “(I’m) here to celebrate these amazing authors,” she said. “The whole goal is to help high school seniors with their education.” Susan Henry attended the first RMLF event as the president of Bootstraps, but this year she attended as the executive director. She called the festival important for the community. “It is an opportunity for people who love reading to come together,” she said. The Mount Vernon Canyon Club showcased beautiful views for eventgoers on Saturday.

Legacy Lightning sneaks past Ralston Valley BY JONATHAN MANESS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
WESTMINSTER – Junior Cooper Stephens isn’t any stranger to scoring goals, and his scoring prowess came up big to help the Lightning advance out of the first round of the Class 5A soccer playoff tournament Stephens found the back of the net in the 52nd minute of the contest to lead No. 7 Legacy to a 1-0 victory over No. 26 Ralston Valley Oct. 27 at the Adams District 12 North Stadium. “I was hoping to score more, but I got that one in there and that was enough,” Stephens said. “It won us the game.” Stephens scored his 21st goal on the season with a header off of a corner kick. Legacy (13-2-1 overall, 7-2-1 Front League) dominated the field for most of the contest but couldn’t get past Ralston Valley’s defense, which didn’t allow a goal in the last four games of the regular season. “I thought (our team) played well,” Legacy coach Tony Romano said. “They played hard and stayed with it.”
Ralston Valley’s dynamic play in the goal kept the Mustangs in the contest. Ralston Valley’s sophomore goalie Parker Scott had an amazing first half, keeping the dynamic Legacy squad scoreless. However, Scott left the game early in the second half after taking a knee to the head and was replaced by Donovan Meador. “I really thought Donovan did a great job,” Ralston Valley coach Jamie Scarcliff said. “I’m proud of him for coming in and stepping up. Both of (our goalies) really gave us a chance.” Offensively, Ralston Valley (8-7-1, 6-1-1) struggled to get any shots on goal, and a couple of late attempts went array in the closing minutes of the contest. Legacy’s next challenge was against rival Broomfield on Nov. 2, after press time. The two teams faced off earlier this year with the Lightning coming out on top 2-1. Broomfield, the 10th seed in the tournament, topped Columbine 2-1 in the opening round of the playoffs.

Late goals end season for Riverdale Ridge soccer Ravens hang tough in a first-ever playoff match BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Riverdale Ridge’s Josh Pedroza avoids the defense of Cheyenne Mountain’s John Arguello during the first round of the state 4A socPHOTO BY STEVE SMITH cer playoffs in Colorado Springs Oct. 28.
COLORADO SPRINGS -- Cheyenne Mountain put an end to Riverdale Ridge’s soccer season in Colorado Springs Oct. 28. But it wasn’t without a struggle. The Indians’ Jonathan Diaz Mendoza scored twice in the last 10 minutes of the second half to give CMHS a 2-0 win in the opening round of the state 4A soccer playoffs. “We went toe to toe with them,” FLHS coach Archie Suniga said. “It took a shot from 40 yards out to break the deadlock. Hats off to Cheyenne Mountain. They’ve been here plenty of times. They are a great team. We’re young. We’ll be back.” RRHS’ defense in general
and goalkeeper Sebastian Delgadillo, in particular, kept the Ravens close through the match. He made nine saves, including three sprawling efforts, to keep the Ravens in the contest. His first was in the 25th minute off a shot by Eric Sung who motored in behind Riverdale’s defense. The second was in the 40th minute off a shot by Luke DePeppe. The third was in the 52nd minute. “Sebastian has been outstanding all year long. He’s kept us in a lot of games. He kept us in this one,” Suniga said. “We couldn’t get much (of an) attack going. We were absorbing a lot of pressure. Hats off to Sebastian. It could have been 2-0 at halftime without him. He’s played his tail off for us.” RRHS’ offense had its troubles. The only shot from the Ravens came in the 67th minute of play. Four minutes later, Diaz Mendoza unleashed the first of his two goals. “Playoff soccer is a little different from regular-sea-
son soccer,” Suniga said. “It’s faster. It’s quicker. We have to learn to play quicker. The boys adjusted well; the defense played well. We played well to the end.” RRHS won three games a season ago. This year, the record was 10-4-1. “I told the boys at the end. The loss stings,” Suniga said. “There’s nothing you can say that’s going to take that away. The proof it is the school has been around four years. They’ve only had a soccer program for three years .. this is the third year. Here we are .. 26th in the state. We gained seven wins from last season. We made it to the first round of the playoffs.” The Ravens have to find replacements for three seniors. “Riverdale Ridge will be back,” Suniga said. “We went toe to toe with a really good team. Everyone played their tails off. We get everybody back, and Riverdale will be in the playoffs again. You keep moving forward. We start getting ready for next season.

For service taps for water meters six inches or larger, the number of service commitments for calculating the sewer tap fee shall be determined from the following formula:
For all residential and commercial accounts, for the first month of ownership sewer charges shall be prorated based on the number of days remaining in the property’s billing cycle. For all accounts, individual reviews of indoor water consumption may be made on a case-by-case basis to assess adjustments to consumption charges. (E) The City will determine average numeric criteria for the quality and quantity of sewage collected from commercial users. The City will assess a surcharge rate for nonresidential users discharging waters and wastes with quality characteristics greater than the average commercial user. Such users will be assessed a surcharge sufficient to cover the costs of treating such users the higher strength wastes.
(G) Statements for sewer service charges shall be dated and sent out to users at regular intervals. Such statements shall be added to and made a part of the water bill, if customers receive water service from the City or by separate billing if water service is not provided by the City. (H) Delinquent sewer bills shall be collected in the same manner as delinquent water charges, including the discontinuance of water service for nonpayment of sewer charges. Any payments received for combined water and sewer bills that are for less than the sum of water and sewer bills shall be first applied to the sewer charge and any remainder to the water charge. For customers not receiving City water service, these same provisions shall apply, except that, instead of discontinuance of water, a $10.00 late charge shall be added to the next bill at the time of billing to cover additional accounting charges. If a sewer charge is not paid in nine months, a lien shall may be recorded against the property for the balance then due, plus a $25.00 filing fee. If the lien is not paid in 15 months, the service line may be disconnected from the City’s main and plugged. Service shall not be restored until the account is paid in full, plus the actual cost to the City of disconnecting the service line. Reconnection shall be the responsibility of the owner. If such disconnection is required, the City shall notify the Health Department and agency furnishing water to the premises of the action to be taken. (I) The City shall have as security for the collection of such sewer service charges and penalties a lien upon the real property served by sewer service, which lien shall become effective immediately upon the supplying of such sewer service and shall not be discharged until the payment is made of all the sewer service bills, penalties and charges as herein provided. Such liens shall be governed by Title I, Chapter 31 of the Westminster Municipal Code. (1) All charges prescribed by this Code relating to the provision of sewer service, together with the cost of collecting such charges, including court costs and attorneys’ fees, are a lien that is first and prior to all other liens, claims, titles, and encumbrances, whether prior in time or not, except liens for general taxes, and shall remain a lien upon the real property served by the sewer connection from the date such charges and the cost of collecting them, if any, become due, until they are paid.
