The homelessness listening session held by the city of Golden on June 28 didn’t exactly draw a

crowd. But that didn’t stop the small group of residents who showed up at city hall — and the handful more who joined in online — from taking the opportunity to speak up about homelessness in Golden and how they think the city can do a better job of dealing with it. The purpose of the meeting, which was the first of two that are planned, was to get residents to share their questions, thoughts and ideas about homelessness with several city leaders, includ-

ing police chief Bill Kilpatrick. At a second meeting, which is scheduled for Aug. 3, those leaders will respond to the questions and feedback they received and talk about some of the local causes of homelessness and what the city is doing about them. As the participating residents took turns making their comments, one theme that quickly emerged was that the number of homeless people in Golden is SEE HOMELESS, P9

A portion of the Grant Terry Trail, which goes west into Clear Creek Canyon from Golden, is getting a makeover. But not everyone is happy about it. On June 28, workers began paving the eastern half of the trail, which will soon connect the Clear Creek and US 6 trails to the Peaks to Plains trail that will extend nearly six miles up the canyon when it opens next year. However, plans call for the Peak to Plains trail to someday extend 65 miles from Loveland Pass to Denver, although the realization of that vision is likely years — or longer —away. According to an FAQ document produced by the city of Golden about the project, the new concrete trail will be 10 feet wide, with the remaining space being kept as a natural dirt surface trail that will vary in width from five to two feet. The new concrete portion of the trail will also be “stained for a more natural appearance and to match the Peak to Plains Trail.” The FAQ document states that the city determined the trail needed to change to a concrete surface because of increased usage it will see as it becomes a more pivotal part SEE TRAIL, P4

Rebuilt Jeffco courage garden rises from the ashes Gazebo and garden destroyed by fire given poignant rebirth BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For well over two decades, the Courage Garden that sits outside the Jefferson County Government Center has been a source of courage, healing and resilience. But going forward, the garden’s connection to those concepts will be not just symbolic but literal as a large section of the garden that was destroyed in a fire last October has been rebuilt and is now springing forth new life once again. On June 30, dozens of leaders from across the county gathered at the garden to mark its rebirth with a ribbon-cutting that celebrated the completion of the new gazebo that sits in the center of the garden and replaces the one ruined in the fire. “This is an important day because it’s built back,” said Jeffco Sheriff Jeff Shrader during the ribbon-cutting ceremony. “And it’s built back stronger and more beautiful.” Work on the Courage Garden began in the mid-1990s when members of Jeffco’s crime victim advocate staff asked the county about creating a permanent memorial for county crime victims. The garden grew significantly over the years with the addition of new plants, trees and gardens to honor the memory of individual crime victims. But then came the Oct. 7 fire, which destroyed not only the gazebo dedicated to murdered Jeffco police officer Timothy Mossbrucker, but several of the surrounding plants and trees. The Golden Police Department believes the fire to be arson but has not made any arrests in the incident. Vista Exline, the former Executive Director of Victim Outreach, Inc., said she and her former staff at Victim Outreach. immediately resolved to rebuild the gazebo and other destroyed portions of the garden. However, it would take “well more than 100 donations from the community,” including a major one from the Golden Civic Foundation, plus

volunteer hours from countless others to make that happen. Among those who made significant donations was the 23rd Avenue Sculpture Studio, which constructed the new medal gazebo for a significantly discounted fee. Exline said they chose to go with a fire-proof metal gazebo. The ribbon-cutting ceremony also came at a poignant time for Jefferson County, which lost Arvada Police Officer Gordon Beesley and Golden resident Johnny Hurley in a high-profile shooting in Olde Town Arvada the week before. “The Arvada community and all of Jefferson County has suffered a profound loss…” said County Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper. “But as we know, we’ve been through crises before and we are a small community that comes together and takes care of another. And that’s why the courage garden is here to help us heal together. And if you look around not only will you see a place of solace but the faces of many who are here to help, including our victim advocates.” Shrader said last fall’s fire and the

to come out and see the courage garden” during the trial as current crime victims will now be able to do long into the future. “It’s wonderful to be here today and see this gazebo so beautifully rebuilt and now perhaps even stronger than before and virtually fireproof,” she said. “This is what must happen to us, the victims of crime. Our loved ones are taken from us and we are made to walk through a fire we did not light and in order to survive, we must become fireproof.”

Every Industry Is Facing Disruption of Some Kind. How About Real Estate?

I just finished reading a white paper by the founder of Dotloop (part of Zillow Group) with the catchy title, “The End of the Traditional Real Estate Brokerage.” The premise of the document is that unless a brokerage adopts that company’s “end-to-end collaborative platform,” it is destined to fail. Hmmm…. Is my brokerage, Golden Real Estate, about to face extinction? Basically, the argument is that mobile and digital technology is disrupting every industry and is also disrupting real estate. “Disrupting,” however, implies winners and losers. I prefer to say that technology is revolutionizing real estate (as indeed every industry), but I see no end to Golden Real Estate as a small, perhaps “boutique,” brokerage. In my two decades as a Realtor (i.e., a member of the National Association of Realtors, not merely a licensed real estate professional), I have seen major transformation of the technologies, tools and software made available to brokers. When I first got my license and joined the West Office of Coldwell Banker

Residential Brokerage in Lakewood, we wrote our contracts on 3-ply NCR forms created for each of the many documents required in a real estate transaction. We used typewriters to complete them, or pressed firm with ballpoint pens. Nowadays, virtually every agent uses online contracts. In our market, CTM eContracts is dominant in providing these contracts, and the integration of documents by agents on both sides of every transaction is impressive and… revolutionary. We love it! Occasionally I will received a contract from an out-of-area agent, as I did just last week on one of my listings, that is not on CTM and uses a third-party e-signature program for executing each document. (CTM has e-signature capability built into it, and I love it.) Showing service technology has also evolved beautifully. The near-universal vendor in our market is ShowingTime, and it’s great how they have simplified the process of setting multiple showings, with well-timed route planning and management of feedback requests.

This is my regular update on the real estate bidding wars. This week I chose to analyze the closings that occurred last Monday, June 28th, to see how the bidding wars have evolved over the past few weeks. As before, the source for this monthly analysis is REcolorado.com, the Denver MLS. As I did in previous months, I limited my analysis to sales within a 15-mile radius of downtown Denver. I limited my search to homes, condos and townhouses that were on the MLS at least one day and not more than 6 days before going under contract. Those are the homes with bidding wars. I divided the results into listings which sold for up to $500,000 and those that sold for more. On June 28th there were 55 closings up to $500,000, compared to 40 closings on June 10th. The median home sold for 5.4% over its asking price, compared to 6.3% on June 10th. The highest ratio this time was 20.8% for a townhome in Littleton compared to 19.6% on June 10th for a condo in Golden. Six listings sold for the asking price, and four sold for less than listing price, compared to

none on June 10th. There were 53 homes that closed on June 28th for more than $500,000, compared to 37 homes on June 10th. The median home in that group sold for 8.7% over its listing price, compared to 7.7% on June 10th. Only four sold for the listing price, and 3 sold for less than the listing price. The highest overbid in this group was 32% for a mid-century modern home in Arvada, compared to 20.9% on June 10th. To have a statistically significant number of closings over $1 million, I analyzed the 108 such closings over a longer period — June 14-28. The median closing for those high-end homes was 6.6% over listing price, compared to 6.1% from June 1-13. Twelve homes sold for the listing price and 6 homes sold for less than the listing price. The highest overbid was for a 1997 home in Golden’s Village at Mountain Ridge, which was listed at $929,000 and sold in 4 days for $1,240,000, 33.4% over listing price. Three other million-dollarplus homes sold on June 28th for more than 30% over their listing price.

An Update on the Ongoing Bidding Wars

REcolorado, the Denver MLS, is introducing a replacement showing service called BrokerBay, which will have some further enhancements (and be included in our MLS fees), but it will have to be spectacular to be better than ShowingTime. The MLS itself has been radically improved in the quarter century since it

became web-based, and, as with their showing service proposal, continues to do the heavy lifting for us brokerages so that we have only the task of learning new ways of operating. Despite these changes, I don’t think the in-person model of working with buyers and sellers is up for displacement, merely rapid and ongoing improvement.

A Professional Inspection Is Money Well Spent You can’t tell a book by its cover, and you can’t tell a home’s condition by how well it looks when you fall in love with it and go under contract. That’s why you should never waive your right to inspect the home and submit an “Inspection Objection.” With all the bidding wars going on, it’s increasingly common for buyers to waive both inspection and appraisal in order to get the home they are bidding on. There are three inspection deadlines. You might feel the need when competing with other buyers to waive inspection objection and inspection resolution, but you should never waive inspection termination. That way, you still have the right to hire a professional inspector, and you may just find enough hidden defects to exercise your right to terminate the contract.

That’s what happened with a buyer I am working with. The house showed all the signs of being well built and well maintained, but the inspection revealed several shocking structural flaws, electrical issues and plumbing problems. We clearly had to terminate — unless the seller was willing to amend the contract to allow for inspection objection and inspection resolution, which she did. We then submitted an extensive list of repairs, which the seller rejected. This was unusual, however, since the seller and her agent were now aware of serious problems which they will be required by law to disclose to the next buyer.

TRAIL FROM PAGE 1

of a larger network of trails that will make it increasingly difficult to maintain. Perhaps more importantly, the linking of the trail to the Peaks to Plains trail would create new standards for ADA-compliance that would require either the trail to be updated or the route to be accessible via another compliant trail. It also explains that the city has long known that the path would need to be improved as a result of increased use and escalating maintenance costs for the raw sewer line that runs under the trail. Despite that, the city says it did not include the paving of the trail in the original plans for the Peaks to Plains project because those plans included a plan for a separate paved trail that would run parallel to US 6 and provide a similar connection. However, the FAQ said the plan started to evolve when the Jefferson County Open Space determined that it was not feasible to build a trail along US 6 because the trail could not be built as to comply with ADA standards. Another option to connect that proposed trail to the Welch Ditch trail, which would’ve allowed it to ADA-

compliant, was abandoned because it would’ve involved “removing most of threes north of the existing Grant Terry Trail.” As progress continued on the current Peaks to Plains project, JCOS contacted the city of Golden about paving the trail using leftover contingency money from the project to extend the Peaks to Plains trail at no cost to the city. The FAQ states that the city would’ve otherwise had to budget $250,000-$300,000 to eventually pave the trail. But those explanations doesn’t satisfy Lee Parimuha, a Golden resident who regular walks the Glenn Terry Trail who has concerns about the city’s decision to pave the trail and said he feels it was made without giving the public a chance to weigh in. Parimuha said he prefers

walking on a more naturalfeeling dirt surface to a paved one and said many other users of the trail, particularly runners, seem to as well. “The city says there is going to be a five-foot border that’s softer,” he said. “But if you look at it, it’s a five-foot border that narrows to a two-foot border and you can’t walk on that. And besides, the real feeling and the character of the path will be changed forever.” Parimuha said he learned about the plan to pave the trail about a week before the construction was set to begin while walking one day and noticing an employee marking manhole covers. He was surprised when the employee told him that the trail would be paved because he had repeatedly looked at maps and other notices

placed along the trail that contained the old information about a planned trail along US 6 and had not been updated to reflect the change of plan to pave the Glenn Terry Trail. “I was surprised that they are telling us one thing and doing another,” he said. The FAQ, meanwhile, explains that the city presented the plan to pave the Glenn Terry Trail to its Parks, Recreation and Museums board, which is made up of residents. “PRAM gave positive feedback to it and agreed that it was appropriate to move forward,” the FAQs states. “There was support voiced for soft surface trails adjacent to the paved path which is an included element in the project.” But Parimuha questions that approach, saying its unreasonable to expect citizens to be aware that a city board was going to discuss such an important issue, particularly when the city itself has provided inaccurate information for two years and did not bother to put up new notices on the trail. He also said he is unswayed by the city’s arguments about the need for ADA access and thinks the city should have continued with their plan for a US 6-adjacent trail, even if one also presented challenges. So he’s launched a last

ditch effort to collect signatures from residents in hopes of delaying construction of the trail. On June 28, Parimuha said in an email that he had collected over 700 signatures and would be presenting them to Jefferson County Open Space’s Advisory Committee on July 1. However, Parimuha said that plan ran into problems when many members of the group were unable to access the virtual meeting. For now, however, the city is proceeding with construction, which is expected to last through the end of July. “We understand that are some people who use the trail that are frustrated with the change and the process that has lead up to it but the city believes that the accessibility and connectivity that this project brings will have great benefit for the community,” said Carly Lorentz, Golden’s deputy city manager, in an email to the Golden Transcript. “At this point, we don’t expect any changes in direction.” Parimuha, however, said he plans to continue his effort and even views litigation as a possibility because the city did not provide proper notification about the plan in his view. “We would have had ample time to stop them if they had given us ample warning!” he wrote in an email to the Golden Transcript.

Golden fire chief leaving to take position in California Welch spent 2.5 years with department BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The first female fire chief in Golden’s history is moving on. In June, Alicia Welch notified the city that she had taken as a job as the chief of the Lompoc Fire Department in her home state of California. Welch, who has been with the department for just a bit more than 2 1/2 years, said the decision was motivated by her desire to be closer to her aging Welch parents so she can more easily help with them. “Leaving Golden is definitely not an easy decision at all,” she said. “We’ve done so much good work together and really advanced this department into the future. But for me, this was a family decision.” Deputy City Manager Carly Lorentz said Deputy Fire Chief Jerry Strickler will serve as an interim fire chief after Welch leaves at the end of July. Lorentz said the city is working on next steps but does not have a timeline for making the new hire.

During her time with the department, Welch said the department was able to significantly improve the equipment used by its personnel. Those improvements include the purchase of new radios and computers for all of the firetrucks and new uniforms for every member of the department. Welch said she also made community engagement a goal when she came to the department and feels the department has progressed significantly in that regard. In particular, the department’s members have spent significant time canvassing Golden’s trailer parks to provide free smokealarm tests and replacements as well as home escape planning. “We’ve done that work because we know those homes are difficult to get out of in fire conditions,” she said. Welch also implemented a diversity and inclusion initiative. As part of that initiative, Welch said the department now does quarterly diversity training and has adapted its promotional process to attract a more diverse workforce, which she believes is better able to serve the Golden community. She said she is proud of how the department’s members “ The department was also highlighted in a guide to best diversity and inclusion practices produced by the National Asso-

ciation of Fire Chiefs based on an analysis conducted of Golden and six other similar departments. “Our little fire department is kind of recognized on the national stage now for being a progressive and inclusive department,” she said. “Those are some of the things I hope continue on after I leave.” However, Welch said she feels one of the department’s biggest successes has been its weathering of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Through that year-and-a-half, we had two incidents where we had a number of folks who had to be off. But we were able to maintain our service, and we never compromised our ability to be able to respond to the community,” she said. But while Welch is proud of the current direction of the department, she said there is still work to be done. In particularly, she said she remains concerned that the department does not have sufficient staffing levels to keep up with the city’s growth and hopes it will continue to expand. She said that while the department’s main station on 10th Street is now staffed full time, the station in South Golden is staffed only about 1/3 to ½ of the time. “I think that just based on the demands that we have in our community and, sometimes, our neighboring departments needing help, we feel like those sta-

Remembering Officer Gordon Beesley Friends recall a caring husband, father, dedicated colleague — and drummer BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Officer Gordon Beesley was going through motorcycle training with the Arvada Police Department when he was asked to maneuver through an obstacle course, round a cone and return at speed as part of a test. Beesley completed the course, approached the cone and laid the motorcycle down to round the cone before the bike ‘high sided’ and sent him airborne. Beesley landed “like a cat,” picked up his bike and finished the test “with a smile,” according to Dave Snelling, Beesley’s longtime colleague at the APD, where Beesley Beesley worked for 19 years. “He’s just one of those amazing humans,” said Snelling. “You literally could not make him angry. Every time you saw him, your day just got greater. The thing I love about Gordon the most - he was feet ‘2 inches, 6’3” - he referred to me as `Little Davey.’ And he was the only one I couldn’t get mad at for it.” Beesley’s tenure with the APD - where he served as a school resource officer (SRO) at Oberon

Middle School, Lincoln Academy and Excel Academy Charter School while working patrol in the summers - made him a visibly beloved figure in the community. “You’ll have cops that grow their image around the badge,” said Snelling. “I think the badge grew an image around Gordon. And Gordon humanized the badge. He had just as many friends outside the business as he did inside, but (being a police officer) wasn’t his identity when the uniform came off. “He just liked the work,” Snelling continued. “Really, whenever he put that uniform on, you can’t help but see that there was a man behind that badge, not just a cop. That made him a fantastic cop.” Outside of work, Beesley was known as a caring husband and father, avid mountain biker and talented drummer in local bands such as Brethren Fast, which draped an American flag adorned with the band’s name on the memorial outside of Arvada City Hall, and the Railbenders. Patti Danford, the vice principal at Oberon Middle School, where

Beesley most recently worked as an SRO, went to the Dark Horse in Boulder to see Beesley play with one of his bands. “He was great,” said Danford. “It was so fun to see him in that environment. I took my husband and told him, That’s Officer Beesley,’ and he said, `Wait, that’s the police officer you work with?’ And I said, `Yes, that’s Gordon.’ I’m really glad I was able to go see him do that; something he really loved.” The Railbenders said they were not in a place to discuss Beesley after his passing but called him “the nicest guy you could ever know” in an email to the Arvada Press. “Gordon was a founding member of our band and played on our debut record,” said Railbenders lead singer Jim Dalton via email. “He was a tremendous talent and performer. More importantly, he was a great friend. He was a gentle giant. He was the nicest guy you could ever know. “The truth is,” Dalton continued, “there are not enough words in the English language to adequately describe the amazing human being Gordon was. He was truly a light in our city and now there is a heavy darkness felt in his absence.” Danford added that while Beesley’s passions shone throw in all aspects of his life, he remained committed to his role as an SRO at Oberon. “He’s multi-dimensional and he had lots of interest outside of school,” Danford said. “When he was at school, he was super pro-

fessional, super focused. He was there to do a job but had some deep passions. From our conversations, it was abundantly clear that his biggest priorities were his wife and two kids. He was, in my mind, first and foremost a family man.” Heidi Cuppari, a family friend of the Beesleys, whose children attend the same school, said she was devastated when she heard the news Beesley had been shot. “My heart just broke in a million pieces,” said Cuppari, “because I knew how kind he was. It was particularly heart-wrenching for me because I know the boys and I knew him and I knew how caring and what an epic, amazing human being he was. And his spirit will always be here.” Cuppari started a GoFundMe that has been authorized by Beesley’s widow to raise funds for their family shortly after Beesley’s passing. “We organized the GoFundMe,” Cuppari said, “just to show that we are here and that we recognize what a tragedy this is.” The APD has confirmed that the suspect in Beesley’s death, Ronald Troyke, left a note expressing his hatred for the department in particular, stating in part, “My goal today is to kill Arvada PD officers,” according to a June 25 press release. “The scariest part of this entire thing,” Snelling said, “is that we now know the narrative that the suspect specifically targeted, ambushed and murdered. And it was one of the nicest people that anyone could ever know.”

After 60-plus years, Abner’s Garden Center saying goodbye Neighboring Edward’s Meats taking over property BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

According to a 2018 Forbes Magazine article, around half of all businesses fail in the first five years. So although the article did not say how many businesses make it over 60 years, it seems safe to say that Abner’s Garden Center in Wheat Ridge, which opened in 1957, is in rare company. “We’ve had a real long run here, especially for a small business,” said Reed Becerra, who has run the garden center started by his father, Abner, since 2001. But it’s a run that will soon come to an end, as Becerra says the time is right for him to retire. He will be closing the garden center by the end of September. “I’m getting up there and I have no kids or anything to take over from me or anything like that,” he said of his decision. “So, it just seemed to be good timing.” Still, it isn’t easy to say goodbye to the shop, which has been a part of his life since he was a young second-grader riding his bike on the lot where the garden center now sits, back when the shop’s first iteration was still located across the street. “A lot of customers have been

It’s sort of sad even though I am excited too.” Among those also feeling that sadness are longtime employees such as Nancy Faller, who has been working at the store since 2001. Faller said the joy of Abner’s was captured for her by one longtime customer, who recently told her that the store “was never just a place you would go for a transaction.” “They told me going to Abner’s was kind of like meeting up with friends,” she said. Becerra, meanwhile, said he will miss both the plants and people, especially those who patronized Abner’s for decades. “When you’re around long enough you start seeing the same people over and over again and then you start seeing their kids,” he said. “And it’s the same thing with the employees, I have some that started when they were teenagers and then they come back to shop and now they’ve got kids.” Becerra said the shop went through its share of changes over

the years, from its early days as a roadside fruit and vegetable market, back when 44th Avenue was one of the main thoroughfares to go up to the mountains, along with Colfax Avenue. “People would come on their way to picnic and stuff and say you need to start handling some groceries and stuff so we can have picnics and stuff up here,” he said. While longtime Abner’s shopper’s won’t welcome the center’s closure, they might take some comfort that the space is staying local—and in the extended Abner’s family. That’s because Becerra is selling the garden center property to the owners of Edward’s Meats, the meat market that got its start

operating out of Abner’s grocery store and now occupies the full former grocery store space adjacent to the current garden center. Becerra said the space that now houses Abner’s could be used for additional storage, parking and, possibly, retail or dining space, although he was unsure if any definitive plans had been made. Those needing a new place to buy a plant or one of Abner’s trademark hanging flower baskets also won’t have to look far. “We’ve been telling customers that once we’re gone and stuff to go see my brother at Young’s Garden Center, which is another independent garden center,” he said.

growing and putting increased strain on existing resources. “We have been seeing a pretty steady increase in the number of individuals that we are serving,” said Bethany Thomas, a pastor at Calvary Church who helps runs several of the church’s programs that serve the homeless and others who need assistance with things like food and clothing. “And we do know that a large portion of those individuals we consider residents because they do live in Golden wherever it is they find a place to stay.” Thomas was one of a few residents who also spoke about a general lack of resources in the community, particularly when it comes to providing places to stay for people in an emergency who would otherwise not have a place to go. She said Calvary used to have a

Susan Otey, the pastor at First United Methodist Church who is also involved in several homelessness programs, said she is particularly concerned that Golden does not have a program in place to temporarily house the homeless during severe weather events. She suggested the city consider funding a severe weather coordinator position who would work with both local churches and motels to provide homeless residents

to ensure they’re safe and the community around them is safe and they don’t become havens for drugs or alcohol,” she said. “It feels like it requires a lot of resources that Golden doesn’t have.” Several speakers also complimented the work being done by Rebekah Raudabaugh, a homeless navigator who began working for the county last year and has already helped several homeless residents secure housing. However, the prevailing sentiment seemed to be that there simply are not enough resources in Golden to sufficiently address the level of homelessness in Golden. “I would like to thank you for what we’ve been doing and I think we can do better,” said Otey.

with such housing and connect them to it. It would likely cost the city around $40,000 a year to add that position, she said. “For many of our people that we serve, their geographical area is pretty small and going out of that makes them pretty uncomfortable,” Otey said. “There are people who turn down a hotel voucher because they couldn’t be in a geographical area that made them comfortable.” Resident Sandy McCray said she wanted to know how the city was managing tent camping, which she feels is becoming increasingly prevalent in Golden especially along Clear Creek. She said she had noticed that “two homeless men had recently really dug themselves in at the bus stop at Jackson and Ford” and trash had piled up to the point where the bus stop had become difficult for anyone to use. “We were just reading a bunch of articles about how Denver is handling the tent cities and things like that and just how incredibly challenging it is because you want

Cox wielded words as watchdog of government His weeklies chronicled news in the ’90s in Jefferson County BY MIKKEL KELLY MKELLY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Robert E. Cox — known as Bob Cox — former publisher of the Jefferson Sentinel Newspapers, died June 25 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Retired Aurora Sentinel Publisher Harrison Cochran described him as ahead of his times. And Mr. Cox proved to be ahead of his passing by leaving an epitaph on his Facebook: I have traveled on, and I leave with the knowledge that I will remember each and every one of you as I make my exit. Goodbye to all. Live happy and respectful lives. — Bob Emmett Cox 7/31/38-6/25/21 Mr. Cox grew up in Denver and graduated from East High School. He experienced other parts of the country before returning to Denver, where he finished his career in 1999. He retired in Santa Fe, where he rebuilt an adobe home on the Chama River. He briefly attended at the University of Miami and then studied political science and journalism at CU-Boulder. During his career, he was editor of the Colorado Daily, a correspondent and regional executive at United Press International, politics reporter at the San Diego Union, managing editor at the Colo-

rado Business Magazine, politics writer at the Rocky Mountain News, editor at Weekly Newspaper in Glenwood Springs, and editor of the Green Mountain Gazette. He served as press secretary for Tim Wirth’s first U. S. House of Representatives campaign in 1974. In 1991, he and his wife, Sid O’Connell, purchased the Jefferson County weeklies and formed a partnership with other Denver suburban newspapers. The weeklies covered the western suburbs of Denver including Lakewood, Wheat Ridge and Arvada. The Coxes led their news and advertising teams to win many Colorado Press Association awards and sold the papers in 1999. Mr. Cox kept a sharp eye on the doings of elected officials, which he expressed in his editorials. He coached his reporters to take the time to dig for information. His editorials pulled no punches but were peppered with wit and humor. Former staffers appreciated how he made time for some fun in the highintensity work of news reporting. Former Managing Editor Joe Ross said, “Bob was a great person and journalism leader who was always in front of the curve. In the 1990s, he started a daily news fax and then an online product before anyone else in the region. He taught me and others so much about quality journalism.” Cochran said, “Bob Cox was a member of the ‘surly malcontents’ with the Colorado Press Association making his own brand of ‘good

trouble.’ Somehow Bob managed to combine the cynicism of a grizzled UPI wire reporter with the entrepreneurial fire of small business ownership and the ethics of a lone cowboy.” His “Facebook friends were accustomed to a tirade or quip on any topic at any time but most often poking fun at pompous politicians,” Cochran added. Former Colorado Community Media Publisher Jerry Healey said, “I found Bob to be very creative and often ahead of his time. But, most of all, I enjoyed his sense of humor, and his contagious laugh.” Mr. Cox’s son, Kennedy Cox, said he has lost his best friend. The father and son enjoyed engaging in musical endeavors — especially guitar — and traveling on the road to have semi-philosophical conversations and spend time together. In 2017, the dean of the College of Media, Communications and Journalism, in an official ceremony, recognized Bob’s life’s accomplishments and retroactively awarded

Bob’s actual bachelor’s degree in journalism having been a couple of credits short in 1968. Mr. Cox collected favorite quotes on his Facebook that include: “You never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from,” by Cormac McCarthy, and “To be Irish is to know, in the end, the world will break your heart,” by Daniel Patrick Moynihan. He is survived by his son, Kennedy Cox of Denver; “best friend” and former wife, Sidnie O’Connell of Lakewood; sister Lynn Murphy, Seattle, Washington; niece Amie Servais of Sammamish, Washington; nephew Baxter Baldwin of Scottsdale, Arizona; and several great nieces and nephews. He was at home in hospice care with his family at the time of death in Santa Fe. Contributions may be made to the The Horse Shelter, Santa Fe, New Mexico; or any nonprofit organization devoted to promoting respectful discourse. Services are to be determined.

Challenges still loom in Jeffco budget despite stimulus funds W

he county budget is a yearround endeavor, but as we move into the summer months, our work ramps up as we develop and prepare the proposed budget for next year. As many of our residents know, Jefferson County has been operating in a tight financial environment over the last several years. Federal stimulus dollars — the CARES Act funds from last year and the American Rescue Plan funds this year — will allow for some breathing room for the county to provide much-needed COVID relief for our community, but continuing budget challenges are still present. At the same time, we are developing a countywide strategic plan that will help to inform the budget process. A strategic plan sets priorities, focuses energy and resources, and ensures we are working toward common goals for the betterment of the county. This plan also keeps the county accountable for measurable

website. We know we have to do more with less while still delivering quality services to our community. Going through the strategic planning process now and prioritizing outcomes will help us better align federal and local funds as we make budget decisions. If you would like to learn more about the budgeting process, see the How Can I Participate in the Jefferson County Budget page on our website for the public meetings with the Board of County Commissioners throughout the year.

learn and conduct business. But as our population grows, so does demand for roads, public safety, public health and other essential county services. Taxpayer dollars allow the county to deliver vital services, but the limited growth of revenue fails to keep pace with the steadily increasing cost of doing business, creating continuing financial challenges. The amount of property tax revenue the county is allowed to collect to pay for county services is limited by the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, or TABOR. TABOR restricts revenue growth for counties using a formula based on two factors: new construction and the Consumer Price Index. But the county’s formula does not account for population growth, unlike the state’s TABOR formula. The result: County tax revenues have not grown as fast as the demand or the increased cost for county services. For more information, see the Financial Realities section on our

outcomes and results. We will track progress, so we can adapt our direction in response to everchanging environments. This work is especially timely because we are adjusting to new COVID norms and expectations. We are working to become even more efficient and effective. As we work on the 2022 budget, we will use our strategic plan objectives to guide the use of funds. Additionally, we will have federal stimulus dollars to provide services and funds to those impacted by COVID, and we will leverage this assistance to strengthen Jeffco’s economy so businesses and our workforce thrive. Jefferson County has a reputation as a wonderful place to live, visit,

GUEST COLUMN Jefferson County Commissioners Lesley Dahlkemper, Tracy Kraft-Tharp and Andy Kerr

he other day, my wife and I were out having lunch at the Yardhouse after a little shopping expedition, and there, in the background, as HITTING is usually the case HOME at a sports bar, were about 12 different televisions tuned to sports. Especially fun for me, since one of those sporting events was the U.S. Open. Not so much for my wife. Michael Alcorn But also, on one of the TVs in the corner, was this event that featured what looked a glorified ping-pong table court thing. And, on this court, seemingly close enough that they could hit each other with a good swing of their arms, were four people, each holding “rackets” that resemble overgrown ping-pong paddles (without the rubber) to hit what appears to be a sort of whiffle ball. This is pickleball. Pickleball is, from what I understand, a really fun activity for people who don’t have the wherewithal or desire to be running around a tennis court. I have several friends who play, and there’s a big set of courts up at the Apex Center North Annex. I even once met the guy who describes himself

as the “evangelist of pickleball,“ who claimed responsibility for the growth of the game around Arvada. I think it’s really a clever adaptation of a couple of different sports into one game. But, to be clear, I think the intent of pickleball was simply to give people who no longer can or want to play tennis an opportunity to still play a competitive game that they can have fun with their friends. That is to say, it’s a great “old person” game. And, yes, I definitely count myself among the “old person” set. I would love to still play tennis, but, running around the court with my son a couple years ago one day convinced me that my best days of tennis were behind me. And that’s massively stretching the context of the term “best days.” So, I’m watching pickleball on television. And there’s a play-by-play announcer, and a color commentator. There’s even the obligatory pretty girl “courtside reporter.” And the players are mostly twenty-somethings who appear to be in plenty good shape, but who barely move their feet during rather lengthy volleys. And you know what I think to myself? I think, “Do we have to suck the fun out of absolutely everything these days? Back in the day, my brothers and I

and my buddies would play a game we called “Home Run,” which is like baseball for two people. In its most F “advanced” form, we used a nerf baseball (because you can make a curve ball break about four feet with it), and the idea was, if you hit it over the fence that’s a home run, with various shorter hits counting as different values. It was fun, and turned out to be a really useful training device for making contact. We never dreamed of making it a profession. It was just fun — a way to pass the time. Like playing “Around the World” or “Horse” during basketball season. Is this the dark side of Americans’ hyper-competitiveness? That we have lost the ability to just do things for fun and leave it alone? I’ve ranted before about how absurd it is that kids don’t know how to play “pick up games” anymore—is this just the next iteration of that phenomenon? By the way, more power to these professional pickleball players—if some network is willing to sponsor it and get you on television, then Godspeed. And, for what it’s worth, it definitely requires crazy good reaction times and hand-eye coordination. I suppose I would just feel bad if the people who the game is intended

Of buffaloes and boulders

ell, we had a fairly close to normal Fourth of July weekend this year. It was great to see people out and about doing AVENUE the things that make Summer FLASHES fun. I totally got in the spirit and actually bought a new barbecue grill, fired it up and then remembered that I’m not really the king of the grill ... like a few other people John Akal I know. But I did manage to get some hamburgers cooked before the charcoals went out. At this stage in my life I celebrate a the little victories. But, as I started looking forward to more of our Golden annual summer events being up and running again, I discovered that one of our town’s biggest festivals has been canceled once again this year. I’m talking about Buffalo Bill Days. Unfortunately, due to the uncertainty surrounding the Covid situation months ago, when all of the details had to be planned, they

weren’t able to look into a crystal ball and know whether circumstances would allow it to happen this year. But, in the spirit of keeping it alive and on the community’s radar they are holding a Buffalo Bill Days Virtual Market Place. Just go to www.buffalobilldays.com and you can check out links to some of the vendors that would have been at the festival if it was able to take place this year. There are also a few other activities there to take a look at as well. I’m kind of bummed out about that because after more than 60 years of going to it, I finally actually look like Buffalo Bill when I have a cowboy hat on. Long gray hair, Van Dyke beard and everything. I was all set to pose for selfies with people on the street. Oh well, I guess I could just put on the outfit and go downtown and wander around, but if it’s not Buffalo Bill Days, I’d just look like some kind of crazy old man with delusions and an identity crisis. I think I’ll just wait until next year.

but we have a lot of geologists living here in Golden. There’s the ones that teach at the Colorado School of Mines, the ones that graduated from there and still live in town and others that just live here because … I guess they live here because Golden rocks! I know I have 4 of them living on my block alone. Heck, the lead guitar player in my band Nightwolf is a geologist too. Well, this weekend offers a couple of opportunities for you to take advantage of both the geologists and the geology of the area with a two events happening on Saturday, July 10. The first one is Geology in the Parks where you can check out one of our local volcanoes. A volcano? Here in Golden? Yeah, we don’t refer to them as volcanoes much anymore. We just call them Table Mountains. But, about 65 million years ago there must have been a lot more excitement surrounding them because they are partly made up of lava flows. So, if you would like to know more about that, be at the North Table Mountain Trailhead, at 4788 Hwy. 93, between 8-10 a.m. There will

be a geologist on hand to tell you all about it. Then you can hike up the trail and see everything from a new perspective. This one is free and you just drop in, no registration is required. The other one happens between 9:30-11:30 a.m. at the Triceratops Trail where you can walk with a geologist as they point out the various dinosaur tracks and fossils in the park. I’ve been on this one and it is well worth the $15 fee they charge. These guys have a wealth of information, show you things you would totally miss if you just went there on your own and give you a picture of Golden back when it was a rainforest. Before the buffaloes. Or Bill. For more information and to register go to www.dinoridge.org/ triceratopstrailwalkingtour.

Rounding up the cycling trails

Cyclists pass each other on the Clear Creek Trail.

If you’re new to the area, or just want to branch out, here’s a must-try list of some of the best rides around BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

is the season for twowheeled adventure. Lucy Hanna said she’s just visiting but couldn’t wait to hop on a bike — a loaner from her niece Claire — and check out the Clear Creek Trail.

“You have some beautiful trails out here,” she said. “This is the second time I’ve checked out a new ride since I’ve been here.” She said it’s nothing like her rides back home in Louisiana. “You can’t even really think about it (cycling) this time of year. The humidity is just … I don’t know … oppressive,” she said.

Those of us lucky enough to call the metro area home have miles of trails to choose from. Throw in some of the lowest relative humidity in the nation and summer can be a downright pleasant time to go riding. That said, here’s a list of some of the most popular places to get back on the bike and enjoy the

fleeting summer months while you can. Bear Creek Bike Trail You can pick up the trail near US 285 and River Point Parkway. There are parking lots near the South Platte, where the Mary SEE BIKE TRAILS, P15

Celebrating a Denver story at Miners Alley COMING ATTRACTIONS

Clarke Reader

here was never any doubt that Miners Alley Playhouse in Golden was going to make returning to live theater a big deal. Over the last 18 months plus, the theater has invested in giving audiences the best experience possible via video. But nothing beats the real thing. “I’ve been looking forward to that everynight experience of being in the theater and feeling the back-and-forth energy of art and storytelling,” said Len Matheo, Miners Alley’s artistic and executive director. “I knew that when we came back, I wanted us to be back with our best work. And this play is what live theater is all about.” The play he’s talking about is “The Treasurer,” written by Denver playwright Max Posner, and directed by critic and local director John Moore. The show runs from Friday, July 16 through Saturday, Aug. 7 at the theater, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, but there is also a video version for those who prefer staying home. Pricing is on a “Pay it Forward” model, which means audiences can pay nothing or up to $100, and as such, pay for others’ tickets. “It’s a Denver play written by a Denver playwright, so when I saw the world premiere in New York City, I made a commitment to Max that I’d ensure that someone did it in Denver,” Moore said. “When I took it to Len, I was so happy he was able to do it. It’s such a meaty and meaningful play.” Featuring Augustus “Augie” Truhn, Billie McBride, Jasmine Jackson and Peter Trinh, the show is described by Moore as a “bike ride to hell,” that centers on the strained relationship between a mother and son. Told with propulsive force and featuring characters in different states, the show is a wildly different animal than many audiences will

be familiar with. “It’s a serious play, but there’s a lot of humor in it. Audiences will be laughing out loud and have these moments of recognition,” Matheo said. “We’re coming out of a hard time, and I think a lot of people will need some catharsis.” For Moore, the show is not only an opportunity to work with a dream cast, but also to work with a script that he describes as “a banquet of words.” He said it’s been joyful but also intimidating to bring the show to life, and hopes that audiences find in it something that really connects with them. “I’ve always been an advocate for the power of live theater to change lives,” he said. “We learned through the pandemic that there’s no replacement for actually being there.

BIKE TRAILS FROM PAGE 14

Carter Greenway Trail and Platte River Trail meet. The trail, running alongside the Bear Creek corridor pretty closely, offers stunning views of the western foothills as you make your way through Bear Valley, Bear Creek Lake Park and ultimately into Morrison. According to reviews on TrailLink.com, the Bear Creek Trail is a relatively flat, easy ride that can be enjoyed by cyclists of all abilities. On the west side of the trail, you can find parking along Morrison Road or one of the parking lots in downtown Morrison. High Line Canal Trail Starting in Aurora and ending some 71 miles away in Roxborough Park, the High Line Canal Trail runs through the metro area’s southern suburbs. Along the way, you’ll go through Goldsmith Gulch, deKoevend Park and Horseshoe Park just to name a few, before the trail ends near Platte Canyon Reservoir. From the Waterton Canyon Trailhead parking lot, it’s just a short distance to the High Line Canal Trailhead. Starting from points east, consult a trail map and follow municipal parking regulations. Clear Creek Trail From Thornton to Golden, this 20-mile trail has a bit of everything. A slight incline that tops out at just over 5,800 feet adds to the challenge, but the scenery is said by TrailLink reviewers, to be worth the effort. Included in the ride are views of North and South Table Mountain, thrown in for free. You’ll cut through a good chunk of Wheat Ridge and make your way between Prospect, Tabor and West lakes as you head toward I-70. Historic Golden vibes abound as you cross Ford Street on your way to the trail’s end near Clear Creek

Celebrate the All-Star Game with the Hall of Legends With the MLB All-Star Game fast approaching at Coors Field, History Colorado and the Colorado Rockies Baseball Club Foundation have teamed up to present the Hall of Legends during MLB All-Star Week at the new Rally Hotel at McGregor Square, 1600 20th St. in Denver. On view from Saturday, July 10 through Sunday, the 18th (except for a closure on July 13), the exhibit features about 30 distinct pieces of baseball memorabilia, including a

Canyon Road, just east of Indian Gulch. Temporary construction closures at the Clear Creek Parking Lot in Golden may make it necessary to start your ride on the westside, nearer to one of the Golden municipal lots or parking spaces a bit east of the trailhead. Cherry Creek Trail On the southeast side of town, the Cherry Creek Trail gives cyclists the opportunity to ride from Cherry Creek Reservoir to Downtown Denver. At around 20-miles-long, the trail takes riders through some of the coolest urban areas in the city. Starting your ride near Confluence Park in Lodo, you’ll make your way along Cherry Creek as it ambles toward the southeastern program from Jackie Robinson’s color-barrier-breaking Major League debut in 1947 and “the Holy Grail of baseball cards” — a mint-condition 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card that will be displayed for the first three days only. The exhibit is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Get more information at Rockies.com/HallofLegends. K Contemporary celebrates the ‘Soft Monuments’ Denver-based artist Kevin Sloan is featured in a new exhibit at K Contemporary, 1412 Wazee St. in Denver, entitled “Soft Monuments.” The exhibition begins Saturday, July 10 with an opening event from 5 to 9 p.m. and runs through Saturday, Aug. 14. The exhibit features 14 paintings and four ceramic sculptures, marking the first time Sloan is exhibiting sculptural work, according to provided information. Sloan will also be creating “Soil,” an installation of small watercolors, ink and charcoal drawings in the gallery’s

suburbs, cutting through Glendale and Virginia Village before ending at Cherry Creek Reservoir. For the super adventurous, the trail continues all the way to the small, rural, Franktown — another 20 miles south. There are several rest stops along the route, with restrooms for those in need. And due to the proximity to the city center, it’s not unheard of to see inline skaters, folks on scooters or even e-bikes moving pretty fast, so be aware. Veteran Denver cyclist Michael Lewis said he’s ridden most of the trails the city has to offer. He said he’s partial to the South Platte River Trail himself, but said for people just starting out, or those looking for a nice ride with a lot less distance involved, a lap or two around Sloan’s Lake or Washingproject space.

Mental health apps are confusing glut Only a tiny handful have been vetted, out of tens of thousands BY JENNY GOLD KAISER HEALTH NEWS

In the eyes of the tech industry, mental health treatment is an area ripe for disruption. In any given year, 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experience a form of mental illness, according to federal estimates. And research indicates only about half of them receive treatment in a system that is understaffed and ill distributed to meet demand. For tech startups looking to cash in on unmet need, that translates into more than 50 million potential customers. Venture capital firms invested more than $2.4 billion in digital behavioral health apps in 2020 — more than twice the amount invested in 2019 — touting support or treatment for issues from burnout and depression to ADHD and bipolar disorder. At least seven mental health app companies have achieved “unicorn” status and are valued at more than $1 billion. But even as industry hype mounts, researchers and companies are scrambling to prove these apps actually work. Of the estimated 20,000 mental health apps available for download on personal computers and smartphones, just five have been formally vetted and approved by the Food and Drug Administration, which largely has taken a hands-off approach to regulating the space. “Development has really outpaced the science,” said Stephen Schueller, a clinical psychologist at the University of California-Irvine who specializes in the development and evaluation of digital mental health products. Type “depression” or “anxiety” into an app store, and you’ll be met with a dizzying list of results. There are thousands of “wellness” apps like Headspace that counsel people on breathing exercises and other techniques to help them feel more mindful. Apps such as Woebot and TalkLife profess to help manage

conditions like anxiety and postpartum depression using games, mood journaling or text exchanges with peers or automated bots. Some apps are meant to be used alongside in-person therapy, and others on their own. Several of the most popular, like Talkspace, BetterHelp and Ginger, promise access to treatment with a licensed therapist over text message, phone or video. Others, including Brightside and Cerebral, connect users to psychiatrists who can prescribe antidepressants. Most products make their money by charging consumers a monthly or annual fee, with the option to purchase extras like video sessions with a therapist. Others contract directly with employers or insurers. And, yes, a small portion of these apps have promising research to back them up. Several studies, for example, have found that cognitive behavioral therapy, a mainstay of treatment for depression and anxiety that seeks to help patients change negative thought patterns, is as effective when delivered using web-based platforms as when done in person by a licensed professional. And the pandemic has bolstered claims that patients are willing to trade in-person visits for the ease of online connection. Upbeat view “Digital mental health can be viewed as a way to extend the mental resources that we have,” said David Mohr, who directs the Center for Behavioral Intervention Technologies at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. A step-care model, for example, would allow patients with milder symptoms to be treated via technology while reserving in-person care for patients who need something more. The challenge for consumers is separating the apps that might help from those that offer little more than distraction — or could actually do harm. Some companies offering mental health treatment had recently been doing something totally different — for example, an online seller of erectile dysfunction and hair loss treatments has started offering psychiatric evaluations and prescribing and selling antidepressants. Tech companies are by nature for-

profit and, in the rush to compete in a saturated market, many are selling a product with an appealing user interface but little evidence of effectiveness. A 2020 analysis by Australian researchers reviewing nearly 300 apps for anxiety and depression found just 6% of the companies that boasted an evidence-based framework in the app store description for their products had published any evidence. Nor do star ratings and download totals offer much context: An April study from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School found little correlation between app store metrics and treatment quality. “No one is competing based on privacy, safety or evidence. They’re competing on aesthetics, in part, on page ranking, marketing on brand awareness,” said Dr. John Torous, director of the digital psychiatry division at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and one of the authors of the April study. “There’s an implicit assumption that the app is better than nothing. But what if it isn’t better than nothing?” One problem, said Dr. Ipsit Vahia, a geriatric psychiatrist and medical director of the McLean Institute for Technology in Psychiatry, is that randomized control studies of the kind that might prove an app’s effectiveness can take years, far slower than the rapid innovation in tech. “In general, the health care industry and the technology industry work at very different paces,” Vahia said. Seeing differences Dr. David Mou, a psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital who is chief medical officer at Cerebral, said he agrees that everything new in health care must be done deliberately and conservatively to avoid patient harm. But he said some people in the mental health field are painting all companies with the same brush and failing to differentiate those that are datadriven from those trying to grow at any cost. “They look at us and say we’re all VC-backed bros in a basement trying to redesign health care. And that’s not true. It may have been true 10 years ago, but it isn’t true today,” said Mou. The long-term winners, he said, will be those that

are “evidence-based and measure quality like crazy.” Cerebral offers online therapy and medication management and delivery for a range of mental illnesses. The monthly subscription fees range from $29 to $325, depending on the level and frequency of care, as well as insurance coverage. Mou said Cerebral is already able to demonstrate some advantages. While many top hospital systems might have a months-long wait for care, he said, someone in crisis can reach a Cerebral provider almost immediately. “Within minutes you are able to talk with someone with one of our instant live visits. That in itself is a huge win.” Even critics of the tech explosion are quick to acknowledge that the current brick-and-mortar system of mental health is dated and inadequate. In recent years, the issues surrounding mental illness and lack of access to treatment have infiltrated public dialogue. Brain illnesses that many families once squirreled away from view have become the stuff of celebrity culture and dinner-table chatter.

Improvement difficult Yet even as advocates have made strides in acceptance, truly improving the lives of people with mental illness has proven stubbornly difficult. Over the past several decades — while the U.S. successfully lowered death rates for cancer, heartF disease and other major illnesses — deaths by suicide and drug overdose have continued to climb. Federal law theoretically requires insurance companies to cover brain illness as they would any other illness. But finding affordable care remains a challenge, largely because of a shortage of licensed mental health professionals and ongoing inequities in insurance coverage. In a nation where huge swaths of the population lack a primary care doctor and health insurance — but most everyone has a cellphone — connecting people to treatment via mobile apps would seem a logical solution. And, for some, the opportunity to talk about their mental health challenges anonymously makes online treatment an attractive alternative. SEE APPS, P19

Proposed map launches redistricting process BY THY VO, SANDRA FISH, JESSE PAUL AND DANIEL DUCASSI THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado’s new, eighth congressional district would include the cities of Arvada, Westminster, Broomfield, Thornton, Brighton and Platteville, a preliminary map drawn by nonpartisan redistricting staff and presented to the state’s Independent Congressional Redistricting Commission on June 23 shows. Staff placed the new district in the north Denver metro area for two reasons, said Jeremiah Barry, a legislative attorney advising the redistricting commissions. “The first reason was we recognize this was the fastest-growing area of the state,” said Barry. “The second was a recognition that although nearly 30% of the population of the state are Hispanics, none of the current seven districts are represented by a Hispanic.” The map is a major first step in the state’s once-a-decade redistricting process. It will evolve as the commission gets input from the public and interest groups over the next few months. The preliminary map is based on 2019 U.S. Census Bureau estimates

Still, many of the experts who welcome the potential for innovation in mental health treatment acknowledge that consumers are getting little guidance in how to choose a reputable option. “Wellness” apps that promote a healthy lifestyle or apps that help people manage their disease without providing specific treatment suggestions can avoid FDA regulation. But even those that offer patient-specific diagnoses and treatment recommendations that would seem to fall squarely under the FDA’s authority do not seem to garner the agency’s attention, according to industry experts. “The FDA has been really, really lax on enforcing in digital health for reasons that are not entirely clear to me,” said Bradley Merrill Thompson, a lawyer at Epstein Becker Green who advises companies on FDA regulations. “Anybody could spend 20 minutes on the app store and find dozens of examples of apps that make medical device claims, and that have been doing so for some time, without any effort by the FDA to rein them in.” In response to questions from KHN about its approach to regulating mental health apps, the FDA sent a brief statement. “As circumstances change and new needs arise, FDA is ready to meet and address these challenges, especially in the areas of mental health,” the statement reads in part. “We would like to see more evidence-based products in this area, which is why we remain committed to facilitating the development of additional safe and effective therapies for patients who rely on these products.” Psychiatrist has unique view Dr. Tom Insel, a psychiatrist and

because of a months-long delay in the release of the final population data collected during the 2020 Census. Once the U.S. Census Bureau releases that data in August, redistricting staff will have to adjust the map. “It’s the starting line, but nowhere near the finish line,” Curtis Hubbard, a Democratic political consultant who is registered to lobby the redistricting commissions, said of the preliminary map. The initial map, the public’s first glimpse at how the 8th District may affect the state’s political landscape, also makes changes to the state’s existing seven congressional districts. The 3rd District, represented by Garfield County Republican Lauren Boebert, would gain Eagle, Summit, Grand, Park, Teller and Fremont counties, as well as some of western Boulder County. The San Luis Valley and Pueblo County would be dropped and added to the 4th District, which includes northeast and southeast Colorado and is currently represented by U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, a Republican from Windsor. The 5th District, currently represented by U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn, a Colorado Springs Republican, would contract to include only parts of El neuroscientist, has a unique view of the evolving landscape. In 2015, Insel left his job as director of the National Institute of Mental Health, a post he had held since 2002, trading the halls of government for the open floor plans of Silicon Valley to work in digital mental health. He started at Google’s Verily, then co-founded Mindstrong Health, a startup researching how smartphone technology could be used to predict and diagnose mental health crises. He has since left to advise California officials on behavioral health issues. Insel said he believes in the promise of digital mental health but that it will take time to find its highest and best use. He noted, for example, that most of the apps on the market focus on the problem of access: They make care more convenient. But they’re overlooking a more basic problem: quality. Unlike most fields of medicine, mental health providers rarely measure whether the care they provide makes patients better. “A lot of what we need is not just more access. It’s not just recreating the brick-and-mortar system and letting people do it by phone or Zoom,” Insel said. Instead, he argued, digital health should focus on measuring whether treatments improve people’s lives. “I have no doubt that this field will transform mental health treatment and diagnosis,” Insel said, “but we’re in the first act of a fiveact play. I don’t think we’re anywhere near the kinds of solutions that we need in the real world.” This story is from Kaiser Health News, a nonprofit news service covering health issues.

Paso County. Southeastern El Paso County and counties in the western part of the district would be drawn into other districts. The 7th District, centered in Jefferson County and currently represented by U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, an Arvada Democrat, would shift south to include Castle Rock, dropping some of Denver’s northwest suburbs, including the bulk of Arvada. Perlmutter, however, would remain in the 7th District under the preliminary map, though only narrowly — by about 50 yards. The new 7th District looks to be the most competitive of the new map. In 2018, the Republican candidate won the attorney general’s contest in the new proposed district by 3 percentage points, though a Democrat won the statewide vote. The 1st District, represented now by U.S. Rep. Diana Degette, a Denver Democrat, would encompass only Denver, dropping portions of Arapahoe and Jefferson counties. The 6th District, represented by U.S. Rep. Jason Crow, a Centennial Democrat, would lose some of its northern half while continuing to include Aurora, Centennial and Littleton. Both of those districts went heavily Democratic in the 2018

attorney general contest, and, along with the 2nd District in Boulder and Larimer counties, are considered safe seats for that party. Nonpartisan staff used the results of the 2018 attorney general contest, the closest statewide race in a recent, nonpresidential election year, as well as voter registration figures to measure political competitiveness of the redrawn districts. Based on results of the attorney general race, Districts 1 and 2 would be solidly Democratic while Districts 4 and 5 would be solidly Republican. Republicans would have an advantage of nearly 10 percentage points in the 3rd District and 3 percentage points in the 7th District, while Democrats would hold a 12.7 percentage point advantage in the 6th District and 7.3 percentage point advantage in the 8th District. Colorado Democratic Party Chairwoman Morgan Carroll said she was disappointed by the map, arguing the proposed districts advantage the GOP. “While this preliminary plan seems to put a thumb on the scale for Republicans, it is too soon to know how the commissioners will change them,” she said in a statement.

Olympics will feature debut of climbing Sport popular in Colorado could see effect of worldwide publicity BY JOHN MARSHALL ASSOCIATED PRESS

SALT LAKE CITY — Climbing’s standing as a niche sport has always been a part of its appeal. A rock wall can be a place of solitude or of camaraderie with a small group of fellow climbers. There are no crowds, just the peacefulness of the outdoors and the task of trying to find the best route to the top. The climbing world could be in for a change after the Tokyo Olympics. Climbing is an Olympic sport for the first time, and the spotlight will introduce a massive audience to what can be a lonely pursuit. “For the most part, people were psyched,” American Olympic climber Nathaniel Coleman said. “They knew the sport would get more attention, a lot more inflow of money and kind of be recognized as the high-quality sport that it is.”

The Olympics will be hosted July 23 through Aug. 8. The inaugural climbing competition will include three disciplines: lead, bouldering and speed. Lead is similar to what climbers encounter when scaling rock faces outdoors. Climbers have six minutes to climb a wall of about 15 meters with a variety of holds. Whoever climbs highest wins. Ties are broken by time. In Bouldering, climbers have four minutes to complete each of four “problems” on 4.5-meter walls. The problems include overhangs, wedges and holds barely big enough to hold a fingertip. Some problems involve a “dyno” — jumping in a dynamic movement to the next hold — and occasionally going upside down is the best way up. Climbers get as many attempts as they want within the time limit and receive credit for completing a boulder by securing the top hold with both hands in a controlled manner. There are also zone holds midway up the wall where climbers can earn partial credit. Speed climbing is a much more specialized discipline, the climbers racing head to head up a 15-meter

wall with standardized holds. The inclusion of the speed discipline did not sit well within the climbing community. The Tokyo Games will have two medalists — one for each gender — and the International Olympic Committee wanted to show a range of climbing skills, so it included speed in the overall competition. Lead climbing and bouldering are more in line with what climbers face outdoors. Speed, not so much. As one climber put it, adding speed is like asking a distance runner to compete in a sprint event. Speed will be a separate medal event at the 2024 Paris Games. “Speed climbing is very, very different from the other two disciplines,” said Meg Coyne, national team manager and assistant coach at USA Climbing. “First of all, it’s rehearsed. Second, all of the mannerisms, habits and techniques are effectively reversed. For athletes to do well on speed, they need to train for something that’s totally outside the habits they have for the other disciplines.” Scoring is determined by multiplying each climber’s placement in the three disciplines. Lowest score

wins. If a climber is first in lead, second in bouldering and 10th in speed, their score would be 20 (1X2X10=20). Winning a discipline will put a climber in good position to contend for a medal. Adam Ondra has been called the world’s best climber and has tackled some of the most difficult outdoor routes around the globe. The wiry 28-year-old Czech known for screaming on the wall is not as strong in speed climbing, but is a threat to win both lead and bouldering. Like Ondra, Janja Garnbret has completed outdoor routes most climbers wouldn’t even consider attempting. The 22-year-old from Slovenia has won six world championships and is the only climber to go through an undefeated World Cup season, winning six events in 2019. She excels in lead and bouldering. The United States joined France and host Japan as the only countries to qualify a full team of four climbers. Nathaniel Coleman is sort of the de SEE CLIMBING, P21

For the love of skateboarding Evergreen’s Jaxon Statzell designs parks, even for the Olympics BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

They say if you do what you love, you never work a day in your life. That is true for Jaxon Statzell, a 2004 Evergreen High School graduate who has designed more than 100 skate parks all over the world in his 12-year career. Better yet, he was the lead designer on the skate park for the inaugural skateboarding events at the summer Olympics in Toyko. “It’s such a cool thing to be on that grand stage,” said Jaxon, 35. “It’s really fun to be at the table for skateboarding at the Olympics. It’s getting some of the legitimacy that it deserves.” The skate park — with both park and street courses — is in the Ariake Urban Sports Park near the Olympic Village in Tokyo. Forty male and 40 female “skaters” — the term for someone who skateboards — are expected to compete July 23-Aug. 8, and plans call for the skate park to become a public venue after the Olympic games. “In the Olympics, you have to design something that elevates anything that was done previously,” Jaxon explained. “The Olympic course has to be such that any skater can achieve their personal best.” His parents, Gail Riley and Tom Statzell of Evergreen, are thrilled that he has found the perfect career

path. “I’m just proud of him in every respect,” Riley said. “I do slip (what he does for a living) into conversations because I’m so proud of him. I’m tickled with his happiness and that level of success.” Starting on a skateboard Jaxon learned to skateboard when he was about 10. Tom Statzell said Jaxon spent that entire summer learning to pop the board in the air, forsaking other sports for his new passion. “On vacations, every single thing revolved around getting him to a skate park,” Riley said. After graduation, Jaxon studied architecture at the University of Colorado at Boulder. “In college, skateboarding was my hobby, and architecture was something I found I could do as a potential career,” he said. “I didn’t know an

industry existed for skate parks.” While interning at a Denver architecture firm, he checked out a new skate park in Parker and was impressed with how progressive it was, not the typical gray, concrete, fenced enclosure. “Whoever was doing this was trying to evolve these spaces …,” he said, “so I decided to look up who was responsible for it.” Enter a small firm in the San Diego area now called California Skateparks, and his career in the skate park-designing world began. The first skate park he designed was outside Tel Aviv, Israel, and since then, he has designed skate parks for cities large and small, for the X Games, Street League Skateboarding and more. “The nice thing about skate parks,” Jaxon said, “is we do something totally different every time that is site specific. Somebody is going to show up on any given day for the first time,

or someone is coming back for the thousandth time. You want it to be safe for the beginners with stepping stones for progression, so they can get better. For the person there for the thousandth time, you still want ways for them to be stimulated and challenged and keep working on their craft.” Tom Statzell added regarding Jaxon’s career: “I think (the company loves) the world stage and doing big events, but I think Jaxon gets a bigger kick working on the public skate parks because it brings younger people into the sport.” A talent for skateboarding, details There are two skateboarding disciplines: street skateboarding, which has stairs, rails, benches and more, and park skateboarding, which is like an empty swimming pool with different features that Jaxon said looked like “the surface of the moon,” and it’s skated free form. Both are part of the Olympics. Jaxon excels at his profession because of his attention to detail. “He will hammer out details until everyone else in the room wants to go home,” Tom Statzell said. “He is fortunate that he (works) for a firm that is as obsessive as he is.” While creativity is important, “the nuts and bolts is that it’s a lot of grinding it out — making sure it can be built to the right specifications. I think he has a special talent for it,” Tom Statzell added. Creating a skate park — especially for something as elite as the Olympics — means going into what Jaxon SEE SKATEBOARD, P21

called “video game mode” where designers put themselves in the minds of the top athletes to create features, explaining that skateboarding has a mind of its own. “It evolves constantly and changes,” he said. “(Skaters) keep advancing and do more and more. I don’t think (park designers) can dictate what (the sport) is going to do. We can help it and move with it because it moves really fast.” Doing what he loves Skateboarding is not just his job — Jaxon still gets to a skate park several times a week, and he was able to take

The 24-year-old from Salt Lake City is considered one of the best American boulderers, but has evolved into a super all-around climber. Collin Duffy will be one of the youngest athletes at the Tokyo Olympics. The 17-year-old Coloradan from Broomfield is an adept problem solver — he loves puzzles — and qualified for the Olympics as

Skateboarding is seen by some as not requiring discipline, but he said there’s a lot of life lessons. “It’s about getting back up after you fall and following the learning curve that is really steep,” he said, noting that having parents who were “open minded enough to allow me to be myself” was helpful. “I feel very grateful and lucky to be doing what I’m doing.”

Kyra Condie had 10 vertebrae fused together when she was 13 to correct scoliosis and has become one of the best climbers in the world.

MAP FROM PAGE 19

Multimillionaire weighs in Former DaVita CEO and multimillionaire Kent Thiry, who backed the constitutional amendments that created the independent commissions, also weighed in after the release of the preliminary map. “These congressional seats belong to the people, not to a political party or interest,” said Thiry. “It’s still early in the process, but it appears the commission is responding to the mandate that it draw competitive districts whenever and wherever possible.” Redistricting staff also isn’t convinced voter registration and outcomes from the 2018 attorney general race are the best metrics, Barry said. “Given the population distribution in Colorado, it is difficult to draw more competitive districts,” Barry said. “When the final data comes out from the Census Bureau, it likely will change, and maybe districts will become more competitive.” Maximizing political competitiveness also wasn’t a high priority for this draft map, Barry said, as staff is required to meet all the other constitutional requirements first. Those constitutional requirements include equal population and adherence to

the federal Voting Rights Act, which protects minority voters from gerrymandering. The map creates three districts with Hispanic populations of more than 28%: District 1 with 28.6%, District 4 with 31% and District 8 with 29.9%, according to the preliminary data. Staff also sought to keep rural areas together as much as possible, keep the San Luis Valley in one district and keep Boulder and Fort Collins together “due to the large research institutions in those towns,” Barry said. “We should also point out, many times we received conflicting requests under public comments, concerning where some counties should be placed,” he added. Focus on political boundaries Staff also prioritized keeping entire counties and other political boundaries together over specific “communities of interest,” a term used to describe communities with shared needs and interests. Barry said staff had difficulty identifying the geography of some communities named by members of the public. “In this plan, of the 64 counties in the state, 55 are wholly contained within one congressional district,” Barry said. Staff also acknowledged that comments from certain interest groups influenced their proposal, including the Hispanic Chamber of Com-

merce, which pushed for a district capturing concentrated Hispanic populations in north metro Denver, and Club 20, which called for keeping the entire Western Slope in the same district. Colorado’s population grew 14.5% from 2010 to 2020, making it one of six states that will get one or more new congressional seats in 2022 due to population gains. Colorado’s seven existing congressional districts are currently represented by four Democrats and three Republicans. The map is nonpartisan legislative staff’s initial effort at redrawing the congressional districts, under a 2018 constitutional amendment — Amendment Y — approved by voters. This year marks the first time independent commissions created by Amendment Y and a companion ballot question, Amendment Z, are overseeing the once-a-decade redistricting process in Colorado. In the past, state lawmakers drew the congressional lines, though they often deadlocked and courts decided on the final districts. State Sen. Faith Winter, a Westminster Democrat, released a statement after the preliminary map was unveiled appearing to express interest in running for the new seat. “It’s no surprise to see the

initial redistricting map center on Adams County for the new CD8,” Winter wrote. “Not only does this help keep cities and school districts whole, it captures diverse communities of interest and creates a district focused on workingclass families. This district deserves solutions and federal legislation that could provide action on water, climate change, transportation, economic opportunities and growth. These are the issues that have been top of mind for my constituents in (state Senate District 24).” Colorado’s Independent Legislative Redistricting Commission was to release initial state Senate and state House district maps on June 29. Both commissions will hold 32 public hearings around the state between July 9 and late August to get feedback on the preliminary maps. Official census results coming Once nonpartisan legislative staff gets the official 2020 Census data on Aug. 16, they will use feedback from the public hearings, as well as comments submitted to the commissions online, to draw a new set of maps. Another set of hearings will be held in each of the state’s seven congressional districts on the updated district maps. It’s not clear how different the final population data will be from the estimates used for

this preliminary map. This year, the Census Bureau is also using a new statistical method for ensuring privacy that would have the largest impact on redistricting at the hyperlocal level. Differential privacy injects random errors into the data to make it harder to identify individuals in small communities. Several states are against its use because it also makes data on small geographic levels, like a single census block, less accurate. Because it’s the first time the agency has used the privacy method, staff say they don’t know what impact it will have until they have the data in hand. Members of the commissions may recommend changes to the maps as well. The commissioners also aren’t required to adopt the staff’s maps. “They can choose a map that was drawn by someone completely away from staff or by a commissioner themselves,” Barry said. The Colorado Supreme Court must ultimately approve the maps submitted by the two commissions before the end of the year, setting the stage for the 2022 election.

If you fail to file a Response in this case, any or all of the matters above, or any related matters which come before this Court, may be decided without further notice to you. This is an action for the allocation of parental responsibilities as described more fully in the Petition. Notice: Colorado Revised Statutes §14-10-123, provides that upon the filing of a Petition for Allocation of Parental Responsibilities by the Petitioner and CoPetitioner, or upon personal service of the Petition and Summons on the Respondent, or upon waiver and acceptance of service by the Respondent, an automatic temporary injunction shall be in effect against all parties until the Final Order is entered, or the Petition is dismissed, or until further Order of the Court. Either party may apply to the Court for further temporary orders, an expanded automatic temporary injunction, or modification or revocation under §14-10-125, C.R.S. A request for genetic tests shall not prejudice the requesting party in matters concerning allocation of parental responsibilities pursuant to 14-10-124(1.5), C.R.S. If genetic tests are not obtained prior to a legal establishment of paternity and submitted into evidence prior to the entry of permanent orders allocating parental responsibilities,, the genetic tests may not be allowed into evidence at a later date. Automatic Temporary Injunctions: all parties are enjoined from molesting or disturbing the peace of any other party; all parties are restrained from removing the minor children from the state without the consent of all parties or an Order of the Court modifying the injunction; and all parties are restrained, without at least 14 days advance notification and the written consent of all other parties or an Order of the Court, from cancelling, modifying, terminating, or allowing to lapse for nonpayment of premiums, any policy of health insurance or life insurance that provides coverage to the minor children as a beneficiary of a policy.
