Adams 12 opts for remote start District delays opening until Aug. 27 with students online BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Adams 12 school students will stay home for the first two weeks of the 2020-21 school year, using an enhanced remote learning program according to district’s Board of Education. “This is not being driven by employees who do not want to serve or who are heading down

REMOTE LEARNING DETAILS For more information about remote learning, including expectations for students, parents/guardians and staff by level, visit www.adams12.org/OnwardRemoteLearning a pathway that is anything other than very committed to balancing their interests with their students,” Superintendent Chris Gdowski told the district’s board of education at a July 29 special virtual meeting via the internet. Gdowski released his recommendation online July 28 and members of the board of education voted unanimously to approve the plan a day later.

According to his plan, schools will begin with remote learning for all students on Aug. 27. That’s a week later than the original pre-COVID-19 calendar, which called for classes to begin Aug. 19. According to the superintendent’s plan, teachers and staff will use the additional week get familiar with the district’s latest enhanced remote learning curriculum and platforms. The district is scheduled to make a decision about the rest of the semester — whether students will continue the remote program, return to in-person education in the schools or begin some sort of hybrid plan — by Sept. 11. The district will review

the latest local COVID-19 trends with public health, gauge parent and staff opinions to make that decision. No matter what Gdowski said, remote learning will continue through at least Sept. 25 and the district plans to transition to the new model, whatever that is, on Sept. 28. “We’ll look at a lot of data,” Gdowski said. That includes disease trends, current quarantine rules and how well the remote learning is working. Students and parents who prefer to continue with remote learning would have the opportunity to do so, according to Gdowski. SEE SCHOOLS, P2

MY NAME IS

TIM CARLSON

The interior life of Westminster’s Chief of Police Colorado Native I was born in Wheat Ridge, moved to Arvada as a youngster. Other than attending college in Chicago, I have spent my whole life here. I played college baseball which was one of the great experiences of my life. I’ve travelled to Australia twice in my life and loved that experience especially the Australian people. My mother lives here in Westminster, my father passed away in 2015. I have two brothers (one older and one younger) who live in the Denver area. I have several nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles in the area. What’s not to love being in Colorado? Especially in Westminster, where there are such great parks, open space, trails, views of the mountains and other amenities — anyplace that there is a baseball field. Also, raising a family here is special even though my two sons have grown and moved away, they

love coming back to Colorado. Staying married in a tough field I’m proud of staying married for 30 years, despite the Carlson job I’m in which lends itself to a high divorce rate. This speaks volumes of my wonderful wife. In addition, our two sons are successful, wonderful young men who have great futures in serving their communities. It’s really not my accomplishment, it’s theirs, but I am very proud to have raised them. I don’t belong to any clubs, probably because I am an introvert. I used to play a lot of softball but bad knees stopped that. I play golf when I get a chance but my joy comes in watching my sons play baseball - the oldest played a couple years in college but has since graduated and my youngest is finishing his senior year. I enjoy reading and being with my wife and doing some traveling with her. The older I get, the less I like to travel. As a young man, I was able

to travel to Europe, Central America (Honduras), Australia twice, Mexico, and have vacationed with my family in Jamaica. My 34 years in policing has impacted my life in many ways, some good and some bad. I have a deep appreciation for justice and am appalled at the way people mistreat and victimize others. Seeing both sides of this for years has had a deep impact on me. That introvert life I read a lot of books. Mostly American history, some fiction, and autobiographies. I play golf on occasion and love watching my youngest son play college baseball. I travel a lot in the Midwest to watch him during the spring. Given that my job as the Chief of Police is a very public job and entails a lot of interaction with the community, city staff, and others, I am really a very introverted person. I love spending time alone — which is probably why I love reading so much. I just finished a book on Theodore Roosevelt called “The River of Doubt”. It was about his efforts to explore a tributary river of the Amazon in South America that no one other than the

native population had ever explored. Fascinating how lack of preparation, ego and mistakes can be overcome through leadership, personal will and a lot of luck. I do not like concerts or large gatherings of people. Plus, I’m not really into music very much. However, I do enjoy plays that are performed in small, intimate theaters, especially when they are done “in the round”. Protecting my People I am the Chief of Police in Westminster. I have been Chief for just over four years and have been an officer with Westminster for 34 years. I love the people who work in the police department. Helping them to be successful, getting the equipment, training, support and encouragement for them to be successful. To see these officers (and civilian staff) then give great service to the community is very rewarding. I have been interested in being a police officer since being very young. I remember seeing other kids being bullied and it really, really bothered me. I was never bullied but I did not like what I saw and remember that I wanted to do something to stop people from hurting

SCHOOLS FROM PAGE 1

Curriculum models The district will use curriculum created by Florida Virtual Schools, a national online K-12 set of course work that will be supplemented by Adams 12’s own programs. The district will also move teachers and students to two remote learning platforms, Schoology for middle school and high school students and Seesaw for elementary students. Most of the classes will be live, with teachers working with students online or in person, although the there will be saved content that some students will be able to access. Those could include documents and prerecorded lectures. “Even if we do a hybrid model — where you have kids in the school every other day to reduce class sizes — we would never be able to get class sizes down to 12 in the middle and high schools. We’d need to have many more teachers and more space to do that.” There are limits, however. Gdowski said that the hybrid model, with students rotating in to the classrooms every few days, places a burden on families and staff. “There is no way for the teachers to support the kids that are in class one day to simultaneous support the kids that are learning remotely,” Gdowski said. “You can’t be in two places at once.” Under the plan, the district will also experiment with Learning Pods for remote students. Those are small groups of 10-12 students supervised by our support staff. Those students will attend classes with their assigned teachers remotely, via the remote learning platform, but will get more detailed support from staff. Nationally, some families have started forming pods on their own to

other people. I guess police work was a natural job to do that. If I could tell the citizens of Westminster anything… Particularly with the focus on policing now, I would tell our citizens that the officers of the Westminster Police Department are honest, caring, compassionate and competent officers. They deal with things that are sometimes awful and violent, but they love this community, are proud to serve here, treat people with respect, and are here for you at any time. I trust them completely and you can too. Don’t believe the narrative out there that all cops are racists and brutal. I can only speak for this group of officers, but I can tell you those things are absolutely not true. They are some of the most dedicated, professional, and decent people I have ever met. They come from our community too. They do the job because they love service. — Jasleen Batra Have a suggestion for My Name is ...? Contact Scott Taylor at staylor@coloradocommunitymedia.com

supplement their children’s remote classes but most of those families have been more well-off. Gdowski said the Adams 12 versions won’t like that. “We are not going to let that stay a solution that parents create on their own,” he said. “We don’t want it to be a solution that only the betterresourced families have. We want it to be something for all of our kids in Adams 12, too.” The pods will offer free-of-charge in-person tutoring with a substitute teachers or other education professionals. Students would be in the pod for up to eight hours and would have internet access. Space in the pods will be limited based on staff availability. “When kids are stuck and trying to read, can’t figure out a math problem or are trying to organize some project, our support staff people already provide support,” Gdowski said. “Now, we want to leverage that support and serve our students so parents are not placed Ina position where they cannot support their child’s needs and maintain their jobs at the same time.” In school options New students and those transitioning to new schools will get orientation, according to the plan. Preschool, elementary, and sixth and ninth-grade students will get the opportunity to attend an in-person back to school orientation in small groups outdoors, weather permitting. Some special needs students will have access to in-person instruction, according to the plan. Students with disabilities, students with an advanced learning plan, English language learners, preschoolers and other specialized student populations will be provided as staffing is available to mitigate heightened needs and challenges for these students resulting from extended use of remote learning.

Taking Care of Our Community Six months ago, I joined Aggregate Industries’ Mountain Region in Denver as General Manager. During this short time, it’s already been quite a unique experience. I’ve been impressed by my team’s response to the challenges presented by COVID-19, both in our operations and in the community. For the last 20 years, I’ve been proud to build a career in the aggregate and cement business, most recently in the San Antonio, Texas area. As General Manager, I am unequivocally responsible for the safe management of our quarry operations, construction business and ready-mix and asphalt plants. As a long-timer in the building and construction materials sector, I am proud to be a part of an industry that provides the materials on which we build communities, economies and our homes. As the nation gradually reopens and recovers from the significant impact of the global health pandemic, I am committed to using new and creative ways to connect and cultivate strong relationships that allow for transparency and trust. It’s very important that we are listening to and engaged with the communities where we live and operate. Thank you for welcoming me into this incredible region and I look forward to many opportunities to develop relationships with you going forward. Thank you, Chance Allen

Rural Adams County sees limited results in homeless count Annual January census shows stable homelessness despite broader reach BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As Adams County homeless advocates looked wider regionally during an annual survey of the homeless in January, the 2020 results turned out to be about the same as they were year earlier. “We did make a valiant attempt to get out and count the more rural areas of our county,” said Kate Skarbek, special projects analyst for Westminster’s Parks, Recreation and Library department. Skarbek helped coordinate the Adams County’s portion of the annual Point-in-time homeless census in 2020. Homeless advocates across the Front Range fan out for two days each January to count the homeless as part of the annual Everyone Counts Pointin-time survey for the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative. Volunteers counted 476 unhoused persons in Adams County, a decrease of seven from 483 in 2019, while the numbers rose across the Metro Denver area as a whole. Skarbek said she suspects the homelessness in Adams County is broader than the survey numbers show. “We didn’t have a lot of success connecting with people in those rural areas,” Skarbek said. “It’s a matter of learning as you go, and figuring out what will work in the other areas where the populations may be better

known to locals, but without service providers. Trying to make those connections is the work that still needs to be done in Adams County.” Cities across the country are required to take the survey each year towards the end of January to qualify for federal funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. According to the 2020 survey, at least 6,104 people were experiencing homelessness between dusk on Jan. 27 to dusk on Jan. 28 in the seven Metro Denver counties surveyed. That’s a 6% increase compared to 2019 and a 15% increase compared to 2018. Along the Front Range, the effort is spearheaded by the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative. That group organizes events and trains volunteers to perform the surveys. Initiative volunteers spread out across the Denver area to find homeless individuals, count them and ask them to take part in the survey. Advocates began offering magnet sites in 2018 featuring food, services and counseling for homeless individuals as a way to count more people but also to get them services that could help them. A blizzard in Jan. 2019 led many of the area’s homeless to grab spots where they could hunker down for the storm. Others pooled their money to rent hotel rooms for the day and that made them not considered homeless, according to the count’s rules. Ramped up Adams County hosted five magnet events this year, in Westminster, Commerce City, Northglenn, Thornton and

JOSEPH RIOS Bennett. Skarbek said the Westminster event in 2020, which began around sunset on Jan. 27, had 21 homeless people come to take advantage of the services offered. “We had some success with the magnet events across the county and did have a lot of people come out those,” she said. “But we did more ramped-up street outreach. We had fewer people attend our events and come inside for services. We planned for that, because the weather was fairer, and that’s why our numbers stayed stable. But we didn’t manage to connect with many more people.” COVID-19 Skarbek said it’s much to soon know how the worldwide pandemic will change those numbers. The U.S. Census count for people experiencing homelessness is now scheduled for Sept. 22-24. “We do know that service agencies across the region are getting more phone calls and online applications from people requesting mortgage and rental assistance,” Skarbek said. “A

lot of effort has gone in to keep people from becoming homeless.” Westminster has set aside more than $500,000 for local rental assistance. Local cities and Adams County are using some of their shares of federal CARES Act money to help with that, too. “Every little bit helps,” she said. The average local request per household for mortgage or rent assistance is about $2,000, she said. “There is some level of assistance available, and we know that it’s a pressing need for the community,” she said. “That’s why we’re focusing on it as a homelessness prevention strategy.” Skarbek said that for those currently homeless, the federal Centers for Disease Control has suggested leaving most homeless encampments in their jurisdictions alone for the time being. “At least in Westminster, we are complying with that recommendation and not moving people from camps unless we have housing for them,” she said. “That’s for the express purpose of preventing the spread of COVID.”

Teachers across Colorado to get supply of masks State will supply medical-grade coverings to student-facing staff BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado will provide hundreds of thousands of medical-grade masks to schools in every district across the state, Gov. Jared Polis has announced. “We will be supplying every teacher in the state with one medical-grade mask per week. We’re making that initial commitment of at least eight weeks,” Polis said during a July 21 news conference. The state’s commitment to providing the masks may last up to 10 weeks, said Shelby Wieman, a spokeswoman for the governor’s office. If the state

continues to see success in securing supplies, officials hope to extend that time period, Polis said at a July 23 news conference. The masks will also be distributed for student-facing staff, Wieman said, possibly such as librarians and clerks. “We’re also hoping that school districts augment that with additional personal protection equipment that they’re able to provide,” Polis said. PPE acquisition will still be driven at the local level, Wieman said. And whether a school district starts in-person class at the start of the school year or not, it will still receive masks from the state. “Critically, (the masks) will go to all school districts whether they are inperson or not,” Polis said. “So if there are some schools that are just starting out for a few weeks virtual, they can then stockpile those masks, and they can use them when they do go back.”

Colo. health leaders see easing of COVID-19 surge But top state epidemiologist won’t declare victory yet BY JOHN INGOLD AND JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado’s latest surge of coronavirus cases appears to have stabilized as a statewide mask mandate and limitations on serving alcohol take hold, state health leaders said July 31. Jill Hunsaker Ryan, the head of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, said the latest data appear to show that the reproduction value for the virus — the average number of people that an infected person passes the virus onto, also known as the R0 — has dropped to 1. If further data bear that out, it means Colorado is no longer experiencing exponential growth of cases and the horror scenario of overwhelmed hospitals will be avoided. “That is absolutely great news for us and reassuring to see,” said Dr. Rachel Herlihy, the state epidemiologist at CDPHE. As recently as a couple weeks ago, the R0 had been around 1.7 — meaning that a single case could lead to more than 280 additional infections within a

month or two. But Herlihy said the latest numbers show stabilization in both the number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 and the proportion of tests that come back positive. The state also appears to be past its latest peak in newly reported coronavirus infections, she said. The week of July 20, Colorado reported its highest-ever weekly total of new COVID-19 cases, fueled mostly by rising infections among younger adults. “Colorado is at an interesting point,” Dr. Jonathan Samet, the dean of the Colorado School of Public Health and the leader of a team of researchers providing modeling predictions for the course of the pandemic in the state, said July 30 during a Q&A session with The Colorado Sun and the Mountain West News Bureau. “We’re ... at a seeming stable point where things aren’t either going up or down. They’re either going to do one or the other as the weeks go on. … I think we’re at least at a point where we’re not on a surge as we look at schools opening in a couple of weeks.” Herlihy said there is no single reason for the case stabilization, but it comes after Gov. Jared Polis, under increasing scrutiny for his aggressive strategy to reopen

On July 16, Polis issued a statewide mandate to wear face masks when indoors in public. And on July 21, with cases still rising, Polis ordered alcohol sales to cease at 10 p.m. hoping to prevent boozy late-night lapses in social distancing. It takes about two weeks for a policy intervention to start showing results in the state’s

case data, health experts have said. And, in addition to Polis’ orders, it’s also possible that attention paid to Colorado’s increasing number of infections caused more people to stay home or that other factors are at work. “Coloradans are doing the right thing,” Polis said July 30. “Coloradans are smart. I think we’re seeing the impact from two changes that is showing up now.” Still, while stopping the rise in coronavirus infections is a good thing, Herlihy said the

Judge refuses to block COVID-19 restaurant, bar limits league said those rules were arbitrary and not based on any scientific data, in contrast to other public health orders that Gov. Jared Polis has said rely on science, such as the mandatory mask order issued in July. At the hearing, Chris Fuselier, owmer of Denver’s Blake Street Tavern, testified that his restaurant could seat 900, spread over three different rooms, but that the order still kept him at no more than 100. The order was amended again to allow for more capacity from outdoor seating. The “last call” order, issued July 21, required liquor stores, distilleries, breweries and restaurants to stop serving alcohol after 10 p.m. Polis amended the order two days later to make last call 10 p.m. for restaurants, and to allow liquor stores, breweries and distilleries to stay open until midnight. Judge Whitney ruled only on the request for a restraining order. The lawsuit itself will be heard in a formal trial. Whitney said he knew his July 30 decision would harm businesses, and that he was sad for that. However, he said he believed that officials from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the state

BY MARIANNE GOODLAND COLORADO POLITICS

Denver District Court Judge Brian Whitney, despite misgivings, has denied a request for a temporary restraining order against the state over executive orders that business owners say have hurt the state’s bar and restaurant industry. Whitney ruled July 30, the day after the start of a court hearing on two state orders — a “last call for alcohol” at 10 p.m. and limits on how many patrons a restaurant can host. The Tavern League of Colorado, representing restaurant and bar operators, sued the state, calling the orders unfair and arbitrary. It sought a temporary restraining order against the rules. A public health order issued in May limited the number of patrons a bar and restaurant could serve, depending the capacity of the establishment. Restaurants could open to in-person dining at 50% of capacity or 50 people, whichever is less. On June 18, that order was amended to allow larger restaurants to expand to 100 patrons, no matter how large the restaurant. In court documents, the

epidemiologist used scientific and rational data to make the recommendations that led to the orders. CDPHE has maintained that the last call order targeted 20- to 29-year-olds, who are among the fastest-growing age group for COVID-19 infections. Whitney said the last-call order targeted the patrons, not the industry itself. Whitney said the plaintiffs claimed there was no rational relationship between the last call order and state policy, that it was politically motivated to make restaurants “the scapegoat” for other activities. The state’s attorneys claimed the orders were put in place to slow the spread of the pandemic, Whitney said, and to protect human life, the state’s top priority. He added that there is no doubt that the pandemic has financially harmed the entertainment and hospitality industries unequally compared to other industries, which he said isn’t because of the type of business but the type of patron. Regardless of the outcome of the lawsuit, “I heard the plight of their concerns about employees and patrons. It was heartening to hear how much they want to continue their

business,” Whitney said. Some of these businesses will fail, even though “they have been slavish to fulfilling the requirements put to them at every turn,” he said, adding these orders have resulted in “towering unemployment, closing of many businesses, decimated budgets, total change to the banking system and unemployment that will be a problem well into the future.” But the other issue is that people, left to their own devices, won’t take the significant precautions needed and the virus will get out of control, the judge said. “We don’t want to believe this is a problem,” but the public needs guidance, Whitney said. Addressing the capacity and social distancing requirements, Whitney said the state’s choice was either to go back to stay-athome orders or allow businesses to fully open, which would cost lives. The distancing requirement between tables is larger than other states, but data has shown that social distancing works, he said. The capacity limit is rationally based on scientific principles and is based on valid reasons, he decided. Whitney viewed the last-call order only slightly differently.

“It seemed unfair and arbitrary” and that restaurants were an easy target, he said. The age group being targeted is most likely to be asymptomatic, and most likely to still be in bars and restaurants after 10 p.m. “I have to decide if the data is reliable enough, and I find it was,” Whitney said, although it was clear the choice of 10 p.m. was arbitrary. o “We brought this lawsuit s because we believed that the t State’s policies were arbitrary,” T Fuselier said in a statement after the July 30 ruling. “Sadly, q S our suspicions were confirmed as the State could not m a offer more than guesswork for decisions that are having a o crippling effect on our indus- r try. Worse, it’s clear that Polis has no clue how our industry p p works.” o Fuselier added that Judge t Whitney “said that many p aspects of these policies are arbitrary. We’re not done.

Sheriff: Jeffco seeing increase in violent crime as challenges mount for department BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As law enforcement nationwide operates in an environment best by issues ranging from the COVID-19 crisis and continuing unrest about racial justice and policing practices, Jefferson County’s Sheriff says his department is now dealing with an increase in violent crimes across the county. Shrader said that recent violent crimes the sheriff ’s office has dealt with include a homicide that took place two weeks ago, three attempted murders in the last four weeks and a murder-for-hire plot that is under investigation. “All of those things lead to say there are things going on that are just a little bit different,” Shrader told the county commissioners during a quarterly report on July 28. “They are

challenged, they are tired, tensions are higher in the community.” Shrader said that increase in violent crime is occurring at a time when the jail population has been reduced by nearly half in recent months as a result of efforts to decrease the risk of the spread of COVID-19 in the jail. In March, Shrader instituted new arrest standards at the jail which would exclude people arrested for certain types of crimes, including misdemeanor and municipal arrests, from being booked in. Those arrested for crimes that fall under the Victim’s Rights Act, such as murder, sex assault and domestic abuse, would still be booked into jail. As a result of those new standards and other steps taken to reduce the jail population, dropped from around 1,000 at the onset of the COVID-19 crisis to around 540. However, even with those

efforts continuing, the jail population had increased by 50 in the 10 days prior to July 28. Adding to the issues is that Jeffco has had problems moving state prisoners into state institutions in a timely way. Shrader told the commissioners he has filed a lawsuit against the state department of corrections insisting that they take rightful prisoners. The state, which insists the county has a greater current ability to house those prisoners, has so far declined to settle that suit, Shrader said. “The reality is we don’t have any great ability then what we have already exercised and some of that goes beyond what in normal circumstances I would be at all comfortable with,” said Shrader. “I’m sure other parts of criminal justice system, including the DA, clearly would agree that we are making decisions and alterations that we certainly don’t want to. And I think we are seeing some of that come back in terms of some of the violent crimes that are being experienced.” Retirements on rise Further complicating issues are a rash of retirements the department has seen recently. According to Shrader, retirements are up 77% from a year ago and five more deputies are set to retire on Aug. 5. Shrader said many of those deputies are citing the national dialogue regarding policing the discouragement and lack of understanding they feel from of it as the reason for their retirement. Some also cited disagreement with Colorado’s new policing law. “At the beginning of this quarter there was applause for all the health care workers and public safety workers who would have to be at work while others would be staying home and working,” Shrader said. “By the

h end of the quarter, sentiment against i law enforcement was deafening and, d v candidly, frustrating.” In response to Shrader’s comments, p Commissioner Casey Tighe said he felt the county needed to have a look l at whether it was asking law enforce- P m ment to deal with too many issues when other solutions might be avail- o w able and more appropriate. He asked whether there is more the u county could do to have mental health s organizations assist law enforcement and also noted that the jail population e had been “pretty big” before budget is- w sues began forcing county to reduce it. t “We really need to be thinking about s where does law enforcement fit with other activities to be the most effective,” said Tighe. “Because right now we have been asking law enforcement to handle all of it and was that really appropriate? I think we are dealing with cracks in the system because we haven’t been dealing with this in a holistic manner.” But some Jeffco leaders say something more immediate needs to be done about the recent increase in violent crime and the inability to book inmates into the jail. During a meeting of county mayors with the commissioners on May 29, Lakewood Mayor Adam Paul brought up his concern that police departments not being able to take people they arrest on lesser offenses to jail is contributing to the increase in violent crime communities are seeing. “I want to make sure that we are talking about this because it’s not a sustainable situation and god forbid somebody is going to get really hurt because somebody is not able to be lodged in an appropriate manner.” The commissioners agreed to host a meeting with the mayors and county law enforcement officials next month to discuss those issues.

New trails coming to South Table Mountain Project will restore some routes and add 7 miles of new designated trails BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Jeffco landmark is getting a makeover — and its one that officials say should be a win/win for the space and those who love to play there. Since the first portion of the South Table Mountain mesa top was acquired by Jefferson County Open Space (JCOS) in 1995, the mesa’s commanding views, unique topography and easy accessibility have made it one of the most popular hiking and recreation spots in Jeffco. But that popularity comes with a price — and not a very pretty one to pay when it comes to the preservation of the very topography and habitats that make the mesa a draw in the first place. Kristina Duff, a senior planner for JCOS, said one of the mesa’s major issues is the preponderance of undesignated trails that have been formed by users of the space over the years, including more than 9.4 miles of such trails that actually are on private property. Such undesignated trails account for the vast majority of the trails on the mesa — there were 7.1 miles of JCOS designated trails and 26.9 miles of undesignated trails at the start of the year. “These undesignated trails fragment habitat, encourage the spread of noxious weeds, are often unsustainable in design causing erosion and can lead visitors to unknowingly trespass onto private property,” Duff said. Enter the makeover process, officially known as the South Table Mountain Park Plan, which will create about 8.5 miles of new trails, including 2.8 miles of previously undesignated trails, while restoring about 20 miles of the undesignated trails to their natural state. The new trails segments extend the existing trails further into the both western and far eastern sections of the mesa top and its flanks and are slated to be completed in 2021. The

MORE INFO Learn more about South Table Mountain, and the park plan at www.jeffco.us/1430/ South-Table-Mountain-Park trail restoration effort will meanwhile involve closing the unmarked trails, reseeding them, and enforcing the closure with ranger presence. As part of the project, JCOS is also installing nine new information kiosks at nine locations where visitors currently enter the park. JCOS is also planning to transition the entire park to a stay on trail regulation, which, as the name suggests will require all visitors to stay on designated trails while visiting the park. Duff said that a 2019 community engagement survey found strong support for the stay on trail regulation, with 87% of respondents wanting more trails that are sensitive to plants and wildlife while 82% supported regulations like muddy trail closures and stay on trail requirements. Duff also said such regulations will also help to better protect the wildlife that resides at South Table Mountain, which include golden eagles and prairie falcons. Going forward, JCOS will also close certain sections of trail to protect nesting birds. PLAN Jeffco, a volunteer organization dedicated to advocating for the preservation of open space in Jefferson County, expressed support for the plan in its July 2020 newsletter. John Litz, a member of PLAN

PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO

Jeffco and longtime resident of the county who first went up on South Table Mountain in 1954 back when it involved trespassing, said he is optimistic that social trails can be fully restored. “I think the soil on top of South Table is very fertile,” he said. “Areas have been restored in the past and they’ve recovered very well in my experience.” Litz said he is also optimistic that JCOS will eventually be able to bring more parking to the site, which he thinks will cut down on people creating new trails as a means of accessing the mountain from the development that surrounds it. However, Craig Champlin, another longtime user of the trail who currently is a coach with Golden High School’s mountain biking team, said

he has mixed feelings about the redevelopment. While he likes some of the new trails that are being added, he said he feels like of his favorite spots would no longer be accessible. He also notices more people on the mountain than ever. Ultimately, Champlin said that while he appreciates the addition of more trails, he feels they are not sufficient. “JCOS needs to get off their conservation mission and focus on recreation while leaving conservation to Clear Creek and other counties deeper in the mountains,” he said, noting that he feels there is room for more trails on Lookout Mountain and Mount Falcon, among other areas. “People want to get out and exercise. Trail density should not be a bad thing. Crown Hill in Jeffco is a perfect example of what Front Range trails should look like.”

It’s a busy time with the 2021 budget season CROSS CURRENTS

Bill Christopher

F

or Colorado municipalities, summertime is always extremely busy with budget preparation. This year is a much tougher situation with the Coronavirus at play. In particular, forecasting revenues is more uncertain especially when it comes to sales and use tax revenues. Colorado cities and towns rise or fall based on the success of retail businesses along with new construction and vehicles purchased in their cities. Unfortunately, too many Colorado municipalities are too dependent on sales and use tax revenues: In good economic times the

tax revenue pours in but in recessions and pandemics times are definitely tighter. Westy leaders look ahead to a challenging 2021 In the case of Westminster, the City Council and key staff met virtually on July 25 and 26 to address its strategic plan and discuss the 2021 city budget. Chief Financial Officer Larry Dorr summed up Westminster’s financial picture by telling the council that the city is in a financial crisis. Staff ’s revenue forecast indicates a loss of $30 million for the current year and another $30 million loss again in 2021.

To put the lost revenue figures in perspective, the adopted 2020 General Fund budget is $142 million without including cash reserves. While city staff reported a hiring freeze for all but the public safety departments, management continues to avoid any staff furloughs or layoffs. Staff continues to assure the City Council that cash reserves are adequate to support salaries, programs and projects. During those discussions, City Councillors Lindsey Smith and David DeMott emphasized SEE CHRISTOPHER, P9

et’s have some fun. See if you can tell me how many typographical and grammatical errors there are in this column. Hint: there are alot. It’s going to really QUIET drive my proofreader DESPERATION crazy because he’s a perfectionist. He’s a typochondriac, is what he is. Looking back; I wish I had taken a creative writing class when I was in college. I majored in restaurant food services because I thought I wanted to Craig Marshall open my own dinner, Smith you know?, the kind that serve comfortable food. My proofreader bales me out every week. I send him an unpolished draft and he makes it look like I know what I am doing. Between the first word and the last word in a single sentence, a hundred things can go wrong. Theres spelling, tense, participals and punctuation. Sometimes I am embarassed because I don’t know the basics. But I am always reminded of the fact that Mark Twain couldn’t spell. He said it didn’t take very much imagination to spell the same word the same way twice. There’s one word that always stumps me: its “schedule.” Whomever came up with that should be kept after school. I dated a girl who spelled “philosophy” with an “f.” And why not? That’s the way its pronounced. Karen Harper, author of “The Queen’s Governess,” erred when she wrote, “In the weak light of dawn, I tugged on the gown and sleeves I’d discarded like a wonton last night to fall into John’s arms.” Don’t count that one. Harper meant to write “wanton.” There have been infamous typos throughout literature and Major Works, including the Bible and Webster’s New International Dictionary. The thought of proofreading a diction-

ary shends shivers up my spine. Amercian English is often different than British English. For examples: “colour,” “honour,” “labour.” Language makes me dizzie. Some people, like motivation speakers, doubletalk because that’s their stock in trade, and some people, remember Norm Crosby?, double talk because they’re comedians. Professor Irwin Corey used to appear on The Tonight Show and begin a “lecture” that had the sound of plain speaking, and then it would devolve into disorientational nonsense. He made a living out of making mistakes. Some people think politicians do the same thing. But seriously. Have you ever seen a wedding invitation that had the date wrong? Or a location wrong? I double- and triple-check my columns before I send the off, but invariably something is overlooked. I try not to split my infinities, but now and then I split one, as I did earlier in this essay. Did you notice it? Is it “poinsettia” or “poinsetta”? Learning where punctuation goes takes a liftline, let me tell you. I write according to the AP Stylebook, which has its own rules and regulations. It forbids the Oxford comma. I can never remember not to use the Oxford comma. In the eight years I have been writing this column, I have never used an excalmation mark (of my own.) F. Scott Fitzgerald was opposed to them and so am I. He said they were like laughing at your own joke. Do you know anyone who laughs at his own jokes? It’s annoying, isn’t it. So is reading an ungrammatical column. How many have you counted so far? I promise next weeks column will look prefect. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@ comcast.net.

focusing on strengthening core services such as public safety, street maintenance services and water service over other programs and services.

Polling on additional city revenues coming One follow-up action from the work sessions will be polling efforts on potential new revenue sources. On a 4-3 vote with Atchison, DeMott and Smith being in the minority, the council asked staff to bring back a list of possible revenue sources to dsurvey. Such taxes as sales/use tax, property tax and marijuana tax were mentioned. Currently, Westminster is one of few municipalities in the Denver metro area that does not allow marijuana sales in the city and therefore there is no tax imposed. While this might be an enticing way to raise new revenues, I would say this idea would not be well received. As for sales, use tax or property tax increases, I think these would be Dead on Arrival. A survey would provide the council with insight from the voters who would ultimately have to approve any tax increase or new tax. But raising taxes during a pandemic with such high unemployment does not make any sense. Budget cuts make more sense.

Advisory question will be on 2021 ballot Westminster City Council has given a formal OK to putting the much debated advisory question on alternative ways to elect city council candidates on the November, 2021 ballot. Yes, I said 2021. At its July 27 meeting, a unanimous vote completed this issue for the time being. The question will simply ask voters if they favor changing the approach which could include geographic representation i.e. wards/districts. If voters favor the concept, staff and probably yet another consultant would develop options with city council deciding what configuration to submit to the voters in 2022. If the new approach would be approved by the voters (amending the City Charter), City Council candidates would be decided for the first time using the new approach in the 2023 city election. I want to thank Councillor Dave DeMott for getting the formal vote included on the July 27 meeting and being persistent so citizens know what to expect. Proposed Quik Trip is a poor land use on a poor site New development proposals in most of the suburbs including Westminster have seen very little new plans being submitted during the presence of the Coronavirus. In Westminster’s case, there are ample plans under review including more apartment developments, a couple of 6-7 story office buildings in the New Downtown and the Uplands

multi-year plan on the Pillar of Fire land. An exception to no new submittals is a proposed Quik Trip convenience store with gas pumps located at the northwest corner of 104th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard. If you are familiar with the site, you would know that the terrain would be a big challenge as far as ingress and egress to the site. This is a bad land use on a bad site. Plus, there are adequate convenience/gasoline facilities along Sheridan Boulevard. Let’s hope this one gets rejected. Biden’s VP running mate to be announced Normally, selecting a running mate by a Presidential candidate is not that big a deal. We have seen some dandies over the years including Sarah Palin, Spiro Agnew, Thomas Eagleton and Dan Quayle to mention a few. However, for the presumptive Democratic Party’s Presidential candidate Joe Biden, it is a big deal. Certainly, the times we live in have generated a heightened racial awareness with many expecting an African American to be selected. On top of that requirement is the emphasis of selecting a female running mate. It is interesting to point out that a USA Today/Suffolk poll found 72% of Democrats consider it “important” that Biden chooses a woman of color as his running mate. Also, Biden’s age of 78 puts the spotlight on the capabilities and experience of the Vice President candidate all the more.

So, we wait and speculate on who Mr. Biden will select.

Final vice president candidates Candidates under consideration include U.S. Senators Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, U.S. Representatives Karen Bass of California and Val Demings of Florida, former national security advisor Susan Rice and former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. Harris and Warren have solid federal elected experience and both went through the Democratic presidential candidate drills. However, Warren is not a minority. While Rice has visibility/experience having served as national security advisor, her involvement with the terrorist attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya definitely caused her some baggage. While the other women have varying qualifications, they are not as experienced or as used to the harshness of Washington D.C. My choice has been U.S. Senator Kamala Harris from the start. She has the savvy, poise, experience and grit to best carry out the role of Vice President. We will see this week. Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.

Pandemic Self Portraits at 40 West

NORTHGLENN HAS PLENTY OF ROOM FOR Annual celebration of tricks and mystery makes concessions for COVID-19 BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

F

N

ow in its fourth year, Northglenn’s Magic Festival will try to build on the things that have made it popular while keeping COVID-19 social distancing restrictions in place. “I feel like people want a sense of normalcy, but we want them to be safe,” Stokes said. “I’m willing to make those concessions. I’d rather do something fun than not do anything at all.” Northglenn’s Magic Festival is scheduled noon to 6:30 p.m. Aug. 15 at the Northglenn Recreation Center. Tickets are $8 person. “Last year we had about 4,000 people that attended. This year, the maximum house is 525,” said Steven Stokes, Northglenn Events Supervisor. “It’s going to be different.” Rather than rows of vendors out front, wandering magicians near the entrance and a theater full of magic fans, this year’s event will features a series of smaller, more intimate performances with the state’s best magicians. Plenty of space “Our theater normally seats 300 people, but under COVID our seating capacity is 37 at a time, in an inside environment and people need to stay 12 feet away from everybody else, outside of your family group,” Stokes said. Different groups of spectators will be admitted for a showing every 30 minutes. Each group will get to see four shows performed by different magicians and will even learn to perform a trick. “They’ll see one show after the other, and they travel,” Stokes said. “So, they go to the theater and see the first show. And then they move north of the Rec Center and there will be three more successive shows. One show will be sleight-of-hand, the next will be stand up, which is comedy. One show during the day is more kids magic.” The final stage will features illussionist Carol Massie, co-owner of Castlerock’s Theatre of Dreams. She’ll instruct the spectators in how to perform a trick themselves. “We’ve never done this before,” Stokes said. “The magician will teach the trick and then you get to bring home something, a deck of cards or paper clips and rubber bands. What they have to do to perform the trick.” In all the, show will features performances by 10 different magicians from around the Denver metro area. “I think of it like haunted house, with them going from room to room,” Stokes said. “They’ll sit down and watch one 20 minute show, and then move to the next venue for the next 20 minute show.” No tables At the end, there will be a small number of vendors and food trucks to greet the leaving spectators. “We can’t provide tables for people

Eager fans of magic and mystery crowd the park in front of Northglenn’s Recreation Center for the nighttime opening of the city’s second annual Magic Festival in 2019.

to sit at, but they can go across the street to sit in the park,” he said. “There are grassy places, knoll where they can pop a squat.” The city debuted magic fest in 2017, one of a trio of new festivals Stokes helped craft to give the city reasons to celebrate all summer long. But COVID-19 forced the city to reconsider all of them. The annual Food Truck Carnival, with its crowds of people gathering around to sample food from some of the regions best mobile cooks was transformed by COVID-19 into a series of smaller neighborhood Food Truck Grab and Go events. “The Food Truck Carnival, you just can’t replace that,” Stokes said. “It

has 30 different trucks and a carnival company. The Food Truck Grab and Go events had two trucks and park. They were great and important and lot of fun, but they were not the same thing.” Stokes said, September’s Pirate Festival is still being discussed by the city. It was scheduled for Sept. 18 and 19, according to the city’s website. It’s a more social event than the Magic Festival, and brought in 20,000 people in 2019. The current limit for a festival currently is fewer than 200 people. “The Magic Fest, we could see how that would work under COVID-19,” he said. “The Pirate Festival is just going to have to be different.”

irst Friday events are among the most popular summer happenings for galleries and arts organizations all over the metro area. Which means that even though they were going to look different, Lakewood’s 40 West Arts district had to keep them going in some form during the COMING COVID-19 ATTRACTIONS pandemic. “It’s important to reach out to our community and provide an opportunity for artists to show their work while maintaining Clarke Reader safety,” said Liz Black, 40 West executive director. “Our August First Friday is normally a big one for us, so we spent some time reflecting on the best way to utilize that opportunity.” What the district came up with is a partnership with local artist Adrienne DeLoe, who recently launched her Pandemic Self Portraits project on Facebook to share stories during this unusual time. “I wanted to create a space for people to share, through self-portraits, what they are going through as we navigate through this difficult time,” she explained in a statement. “I was thinking about what my experience through all of this would look like as depicted in a self-portrait. Although it’s complicated and can’t be summed up in one image, it has been interesting to explore experience through self-portrait.” From 6-9 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 7, DeLoe will be taking over 40 West’s social media to share some of her work, and participants are invited to submit their own work and share their stories, as well as reconnect with their artistic community. “We knew Adrienne was doing this project, which we thought was really timely and really relevant, and we thought it would make for a really powerful event,” Black explained. “And if people aren’t able to log on during the event, they are available online after the fact.” While this approach isn’t what 40 West had planned for the summer, they’ve still found ways to remain creative and active during SEE READER, P12

SPORTS

Golf, tennis, softball lead the way back Student-athletes can begin practice for short seasons BY ADAM HOTHERSALL SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

As North Metro athletic directors, coaches, players, parents, and fans continue to wait on the full status of fall sports beginning later this month we do have three answers: Boy’s golf practice started Aug. 3 and softball and boy’s tennis begins Aug. 10. These are the only three sports announced to launch so far, as competition can begin Aug. 6 for golf and Aug. 13 for the latter two. “I’m very excited for the studentathletes and coaches whose practices and competitions have been approved by CHSAA,” Horizon athletic director Marty Tonjes stated in an email last week. “Being out there with teammates and competing isn’t only significant because they get to play their sport, but it’s huge for their mental health and well-being. I can’t wait to see them on the golf course, on the tennis courts, or the softball diamond, and offer them the support that they deserve. I also can’t wait for our remaining sports to get approved in some manner. The kids have been working hard for the last couple of months during their summer workouts, and I’m excited to see them compete.”

Softball teams will be able to begin practice Aug. 10, one of three high school sports that will be allowed back after the COVID-19 quarantines. Boys golf and tennis will also restart this month. FILE PHOTO reduced number of matches and tournaments with single-elimination regionals. The state championships will begin Sept. 25-26, and there will be no 3rd/4th place match. Decisions on other sports will continue being evaluated. Tonjes said to expect more announcements by the end of this coming week as the Colorado High School Activities Association continues to work with the COVID-19 Response

With the July 29 announcement of softball and boy’s tennis allowed to begin, there will be modifications. For softball, there will be a 16-game season according to a twitter post by the Director of Digital Media of CHSAA, Ryan Casey. There will also be no regionals and the state tournaments beginning Oct. 10 will consist of 16-team brackets that will allow 12-player rosters. The tennis layout will include a

Team within the Governor’s office. “Nobody likes to have uncertainty in their daily lives, but we’ve got to make the most of the current situation,” Tonjes said. “We’ve been handed a pretty significant event (COVID-19), and all that we can control is our response to the event. My response is going to be to continue to love, serve, and care for our students and our community. Times can be a little tough, but our students know they can always reach out, and we’re going to battle the current circumstances together.” Also, as an Assistant Principal at Horizon, the uncertainty goes much further than the field. Finding solutions as a school, controlling an overwhelming situation is in the picture with all North Metro schools moving forward. “The stress levels are definitely high for myself and a lot of other people. When you look at the health guidelines that need to be followed, you can’t help but think ‘what if ’ something doesn’t go right. I’m confident in our student-athletes, coaches, community members, and staff that we’re going to be diligent in what we do and give everyone the safest, most meaningful opportunity that we can. We’re at a time where we’ve got to be comfortable being uncomfortable. We’re going to do what needs to be done for our students and each other, and we’re going to support our community the best we can.”

the pandemic. And Black said its important to remember that artists are both entrepreneurs and small businesses, and they (and organizations that support them) need support now more than ever. “We’ve been trying to figure out the new normal and what kind of activities are the best fit for the community, while also reflecting what the country and world are going through,” Black said. “We’ve realized there’s a potential avenue to do different kinds of virtual events indefinitely, even after the restrictions have lifted.” To participate in the virtual First Friday, visit the events page on www. facebook.com/40WestArts. Colorado Black Arts Festival celebrates in digital form This year’s Colorado Black Arts Festival will be going virtual this year to be safe during the COVID pandemic. The event’s aim is to develop, promote and celebrate African arts and culture in Colorado. The virtual event will be at held at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 7 through Sunday, Aug. 9. Previous years have included everything from live music and community arts projects to film and youth activities, and organizers are working to capture that same excitement in digital form. Visit www.colbaf.org for details on the festival and how to participate. Clarke’s Concert of the Week - Björk live from Harpa Hall Björk’s otherworldly vocal stylings and music are one of the best soundtracks I can think of for the absolutely mental times we’re all living through right now. She can be soothing, disturbing or both blended

together if she wants to. So much about what she does is absolutely transcendent. Now the artist is partnering with Icelandic Airwaves for a trilogy of livestreamed performances at Reykjavík’s Harpa Hall to raise money for domestic women’s charities worldwide. The performances will be at 11 a.m. on Aug. 9, 15 and 23. In addition to raising money, the performances will be a celebration of the Icelandic musicians Björk has worked with over the years, including members of the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra, Flute Septet Viibra and Hamrahlíð Choir. Each concert will be unique and not to be missed. Visit https://dice.fm/ for details. Streaming style - Corporate Sometimes if you lean into the darkness… like, really far into the darkness, you can find some serious laughs. That’s the idea behind Comedy Central’s “Corporate,” which mines the ridiculous depths of the corporate world for hilarious and harrowing gems. Created by Pat Bishop, Matt Ingebretson, and Jake Weisman, the show takes viewers to fictional multinational corporation Hampton DeVille. As the characters endure their lives of mindless drudgery, they find fleeting glimpses of joy in antics, hobbies and time away from the office. The cast all bring their A-game, but special note should be made of Anne Dudek and the legendary Lance Reddick, both of whom knock it out of the park on the regular. The series’ final season is currently airing, and you can also catch up with the previous two seasons on Comedy Central. Catch it while you can. Clarke Reader’s column on culture appears on a weekly basis. He can be reached at Clarke.Reader@hotmail. com.
