Gill readily admits the park probably needs to be part of the solution and says she’s not a “not in my
Ground has been broken for the SCL Lutheran replacement hospital campus in Wheat Ridge. The new hospital will be located in the new Clear Creek Crossing development near I-70 and 44th Avenue. The June 9 affair was attended by Wheat Ridge Mayor Bud Starker, several city council members, Police Chief Chris Murtha, first responders, hospital staff, board members and supporters. Lutheran Hospital’s roots date back to 1905, when it was known as the Evangelical Lutheran Sanitarium. When the new facility is completed, it will be the newest and one of the most advanced hospitals in the country with a Level II Trauma Center designation. It will also have the capability of turning most of its rooms into ICU rooms when necessary — an innovation driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. Described as a “once-in-a-generation opportunity” by SCL Health CEO Lydia Jumonville, construction of the replacement hospital will allow SCL Lutheran to serve the community for decades to come. “Health care comes into our lives at our most critical moments of joy and vulnerability,” Jumonville said. “Today is the continuation of our mission and it marks the start of the construction of our new building, but as you all know, a hospital

Water. It may be the defining issue of the American West. As the population of the Front Range continues to swell, the need to find solutions to the vexing problem of water usage persists. Bear Creek Lake, sitting on the edges of Lakewood and Morrison, is currently allowed to store 2,000acre feet of water. A plan proposed by the Army Corps of Engineers (which builds and regulates dams) would expand that capacity to 22,000-acre feet of water storage — a number so large, it has some area residents asking, “Why?”
Katie Gill, a Morrison resident, first read about the plan in the Bear Creek Watershed Association newsletter. She says at first she thought it was surely a typo — that they must have put an extra zero on the number. So, Gill started doing what any retired teacher would do — her homework. And sure enough, the number was accurate. The state did want to research adding 20,000-acre feet of water storage to the lake. “This really became a topic with the publishing of the Colorado Water Plan in 2015,” she said. “And that plan was written, estimating the population in Colorado would

Collaboration in Jeffco Schools’ summer programs Community partners pitch in to make sure students can recover from the unusual year BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
As the 2020-21 school year drew to a close, a number of community organizations were concerned that summer supports for students would need to be more robust than ever to give students who struggled through COVID-19 disruptions and remote learning a fair chance to stay on track. Angela Baber, executive director of the Jeffco Schools Foundation, worked with many of them. The excitement in her voice was palpable when she spoke about summer collaborations between community partners and the district. She said the Jeffco K-12 Students Learning and Support Collaborative, a group of 60-70 community partners, was invested in finding solutions around summer supports for Jeffco students. Annual programs like Jeffco’s Summer of Early Learning and high school credit recovery had been planned before, but the district was leaving other summer support programs up to individual schools, in hopes those schools could best assess students’ needs.
DISTRICT SUMMER SUPPORT For more information about Jeffco Public Schools’ summer learning and credit recovery programs, go to www.jeffcopublicschools.org/ and click on “Summer Programs” under the Academics tab. “JSEL, at that point in time, three months ago, had the lowest enrollment it had ever seen. So, we really pulled together and started pushing to find out why,” Baber said. “And then district leadership and Dr. Susan Leach (Jeffco’s chief student success officer) came into that conversation. Within a span of a month, we went from JSEL being offered at seven physical locations and one online site to double the capacity of enrollment we’ve ever seen in the history of JSEL and expansion geographically to double the physical sites.” Community partners like The Action Center were invited to pitch in across the six-week long programs at each of the physical JSEL sites, providing direct supports like fresh groceries, produce, King Soopers gift cards and low-income internet assistance to students. In addition, Baber said that although grade levels for JSEL itself which focuses on reading for K-3 students haven’t expanded, JSELrelevant curriculum for grades 4 and 5 are being offered at JSEL locations and may be looked at as a pilot program for summer sup-
ports in future years. Academics are not the only area of concern following this year like no other. Social and emotional supports have also been top of mind for many. When asked for an interview with decision-makers about summer support programs, the district instead, agreed to provide written answers to direct questions.In their written response to questions about the availability of social/emotional supports, the district said: “Many of the programs offered for middle- and high- school level students have a social emotional/mental health component.” As for emotional supports during the district’s upcoming Jump Start programs, the response was: “School Social Emotional Liaisons are part of the planning teams for Jump Start, so intentional integration of social emotional learning skills will be part of the daily curriculum.” When asked about benchmarks or metrics community partners who received federal Elementary & Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds would need to meet, the district’s response read: “Metrics for measuring effectiveness were developed by our research and assessment team. All programs (credit recovery, transition, intervention) will be measured using attendance data, a student pre/post survey, and a parent post survey. For the ninth-12th
grade credit recovery programs, we will also measure credits “ earned/recovered. And for the aca-D demic intervention programs, we i will measure using Spring 2021 to p w Fall 2021 MAP data.” One of the recipients of ESp SER funds from the district is Edgewater Collective. Executive d o Director Joel Newton said from the beginning, Edgewater Collec- e d tive’s mission has been to bring people together to solve big issues E in Edgewater. Newton said they’ve been working with schools in the Jefferson Jr/Sr High School area since 2013, so it came naturally to them to step in to help with summer supports. He said when COVID hit, the relationships they had built over the last several years had given them a great starting point to implement different supports for students and families. Last summer, his organization put on a “Lunch and Learn” program, pairing food support with a literacy program. That lead to an enrichment program during the school year called “Pathway Pods.” “Then, in December 2020, we began to think about the summer — the Jefferson Success Academy grew out of those conversations because we’d always wanted to do a summer program for incoming fourth through sixth graders — that was in addition to JSEL,” he said.

Atencio said as the end of the school year approached, it seemed to him that everyone was feeling tension over what was going to happen for students — not around the district’s plans, but a general tension of emerging from COVID with a sense of uncertainty as people started to receive vaccinations and things started opening up again. He credits Baber for inviting district leadership to meet with community partners, spurring the expansion of JSEL and fleshing

Don’t Fall for ‘Title Lock’ Services. They Are a Waste of Money and Don’t Provide Much Protection. Perhaps you have seen advertisements or received a solicitation to purchase “title lock” service. A reader asked me to find out if it was a scam, so I asked my friends at First Integrity Title to check it out. Here’s what I learned. The premise of the service is that the company monitors your public property information. It is supposed to alert you to changes to your home title (similar to credit monitoring) but is not as helpful or as necessary. The truth is that it really isn’t as easy to steal your home’s title as they claim. Also, this is a monitoring service only. There is no “insurance” or help if your title is found to have changed, although Home Title Lock’s website does claim to provide a million dollars towards legal fees and costs to defend title from one of these scams. Doing so wouldn’t be terribly risky for the company, since the fraud is so rare and so easy to repair legally. The reason a scammer would pretend to own your home is to take out a loan against it, pocket the money and disappear. The best target for such fraud would be a home that is owned free and clear. Any lender would require the purchase of title insurance, so if the scammer were successful in fooling a title company to insure that loan, it would be the title company at risk, not you. Jerry Spaeth, a lawyer and CEO of First Integrity Title, reported that in 22 years of doing title work, he has never seen a case where someone has been able to “steal” tile and then take out a loan, as they claim. And for only $15 a month, which such services typically charge, it would be difficult to be anything more than a monitoring service.
It is difficult to find out how many such frauds have been committed, because they would be lumped together statistically with wire fraud and identity theft. The likelihood of needing this service is greater if you have several properties that you own, or if you own your home free and clear — and if you are elderly. The victim might not be able to receive the letters from the new mortgage company that a payment is late. Again, you aren’t going to be getting support from most title lock services. They are just letting you know if something has taken place. The title policy you received when you purchased your home does not provide protection for a fraud incident after the purchase of the policy. You can, however, monitor your property on assessment websites to verify that you are still the rightful owner. Every year you should be receiving valuation and tax notices from your county assessor and treasurer. If you don’t get such notices, contact the county to find out why. If you have a credit monitoring service, as Rita and I do, you would be notified if a new loan is taken out in your name, and a no-cost “credit freeze” with the three credit bureaus would stymie anyone seeking to obtain credit in your name. In conclusion, title lock service is not necessarily a scam, but it is questionable how useful the service is if there is little or no protection that comes with it. Remember: Google is your friend. I found some useful information by Googling “title lock protection,” including a September 2020 piece from Fox 5 Atlanta calling it a “Waste of Your Money.”

The Real Estate Bidding Wars Are Not Abating This is my monthly update on the real estate bidding wars. This week I chose to analyze the closings that occurred last Thursday, June 10th, to see how the bidding wars have evolved over the past four weeks. 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 homes which sold up to $500,000 and those that sold for more. On June 10th there were 40 closings up to $500,000, compared to 44 closings on May 13th. The median home sold for 6.2% over its asking price, compared to 8.7% on May 13th. The highest ratio this time was 19.6% for a condo in Golden compared to 15.7% on May 13th for a home in southwest Denver. Only one
listing sold for the asking price, and only two sold for less than listing price. There were 37 homes that closed on June 10th for more than $500,000, compared to 56 homes on May 13th. The median home in that group sold for 7.7% over its listing price, compared to 8.1% on May 13th. Only three sold for the listing price, and none sold for less than the listing price. The highest overbid in this group was 20.9% for a one-story home in Lakewood on June 10th compared to 29.4% on May 13th. To have a statistically significant number of closings over $1 million, I analyzed the 82 such closings over a longer period — June 1-13. The median closing for those high-end homes was 6.1% over listing price, compared to 6.0% in May. Four homes sold for the listing price and 9 homes sold for less than the listing price. The highest overbid was for a 1979 ranch-style home in Jeffco’s Sixth Avenue West subdivision, which was listed at $1,080,000 and sold in 6 days for $1,575,000, 45.8% over listing price.

Firm pitches three designs for new US 6 and Heritage intersection Walkers and bicyclists to be completely separate from vehicles BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
If you think navigating the busy Sixth Avenue and Heritage Road intersection at rush hour is a headache in a car, try doing so on foot — or a bike. That’s the message many Golden residents have repeatedly given to city officials as they make plans to redo the treacherous intersection. Now, the officials involved in the project are saying walkers and bicyclists won’t have to share that stretch of road with swarms of cars for much longer as plans are now calling for pedestrian and bike traffic to be completely separated from car traffic in the rebuilt interchange. The only question that now remains is just how that separation will look and function. On June 10, represents from Golden Public Works and the Muller Engineering firm the city has hired to design a new and improved interchange led a public meeting at which they tried to get at that question. During the meeting, they presented three possible options for how bikes and pedestrians could be separated from vehicle traffic. Mueller Engineering engineer Nancy Lambertson said all three con-

cepts could work with any of the four interchange designs (since narrowed down to two) presented at a meeting in February. Here is a look at the three concepts and the feedback received during the meeting. Concept 1: A bridge stack This concept calls for the sidewalks along both sides of Heritage Road west of US 6 to lead into ramps that feed into an elevated promenade that will be raised about 22 feet above Heritage Road. Lambertson said the bridge is being called a promenade because it would feature “overlooks, plazas or other places where people

Lambertson said that at this point, the city has narrowed down the four initial design alternatives for the Heritage Road/US 6 interchange to two finalists. The first is a dual-roundabout design while the second is a single roundabout, which has been reconfigured into an oval after originally being presented as a circle.
can just stop and be in Golden.” On the east side similar ramps would tie into the Sixth Avenue regional trail and the sidewalks offering access to the Jefferson County government center and points east. Advantages of this design include that all crossings are grade separated and the possibility for “amazing views” from the promenade. Disadvantages include the need for long steep sidewalk connections on the

INTERSECTION FROM PAGE 4
Concept 2: Offset bridge This concept calls for a separate bridge structure to be built on the same grade as the US 6 car interchange just to its north. Sidewalks on the north side of Heritage Road and Jefferson County Parkway would lead onto a ramp leading onto the bridge, which could also incorporate a plaza on the courthouse side. Advantages of this design would include the use of simpler structural elements than the stacked bridge, a straight regional trail alignment
with “clear through movements” and opportunities for amazing views from the promenade. Downsides would include the need for pedestrians on the south side of Heritage Road to cross to the north side at either Golden Ride or Illinois Street. Concept 3: Under Heritage and ramps with offset lid Rather than using a bridge structure, this design calls for the creation of a second “lid” over US 6. The idea is for the sidewalk to pass under the vehicle ramps that will lead between US 6 and Heritage Road by passing through underpasses that will lead onto the lid and allow for vehicle, auto and pedestrian traffic to travel

at the same grade. Positives of this design include flatter slopes for pedestrians and bikes than the other two and the opportunity for amenities to be added to the lid. Possible challenges include that Heritage Road would need to be raised from its current grade to allow the underpasses and the possibility that wildlife could be attracted to using the crossing (although a separate wildlife-specific crossing is also being planned nearby. Public Preference At the end of the presentation, participants were asked to pick their favorite alternative with the “Under Heritage and ramps with offset lid”
option garnering the most support. That option was followed in popularity by the offset bridge and stacked bridge alternatives. The city did not display how many votes each option received. However, about 5o members of the public participated in the meeting. Next Steps Golden Director of Public Works said the city will continue to solicit feedback on the three designs online. A meeting will then be scheduled for later this summer where the city will present a more finalized design for both the vehicular and cyclist/pedestrian portions of the project and seek final feedback on that.

Grant to help uncover forgotten history of the Golden area BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Long before the first white settlers ever made their way to Golden, the city and its surroundings were inhabited by members of at least three Native American tribes who possessed their own rich culture that thrived in the area for thousands of years. Now, the city of Golden is in the process of commissioning a new study that will aim to deepen the existing understanding of those tribes and their worlds — and perhaps lead those who live in the city today to INANCIAL AND TAX SERV PL E TE F IC COM SIN ES S A N D P R OF E SS I E S U B ONAL SMALL R S O F

consider some aspects of their home and its history in a different light. According to a memo sent from Senior City Planner Lauren Simmons to Golden’s Planning Commission the city of Golden was recently the recipient of a $25,000 Certified Local Grant from the Colorado state historical society, History Colorado. That grant will be used to fund what the city is calling a Native American Ethnographic Study that will see it hire an ethnographic consultant who will interview the members of the tribes that were once present in Golden and consult literature and documents relating to their presence to find out as much as possible about what happened in Golden prior to European settlement. Simmons further explained that the effort is being referred to as an ethnographic study because the point of it is to get a Native American viewpoint on the Golden area and its past and to have members of that community tell their story. “Much of Golden’s history is really tied to its mining-related settlement, so this study is to really look and see what else is out there and get their (the Native Americans) and get their perspective on that time and history in Golden,” said Simmons. She added that the intention of the study is to provide a foundation for future projects that will help the city to communicate and showcase that history and its significance to residents and visitors.

also states that another goal of the project is to help the city build a stronger relationship with the descendants of the Native American communities that once called the region home. The page states: “The city hopes to lay the foundation of trusting and collaborative relationships that could be grown over time to include Native participation in preserving and interpreting Native history, developing future educational initiatives, and adding underrepresented voices in the city’s ongoing work to preserve regional heritage.” However, Simmons further explained that the $25,000 will likely be enough to only cover the cost of the study with the city needing to find or provide additional funding for other projects. During a discussion held during the June 3 planning commission meeting, Simmons said that while the project will lead to exciting new insights for the city, it will also likely reveal some troubling truths. Planning Commission member Crissy Fanganello was among those who expressed support for the value of gaining such insights, even when they can be difficult to confront. “I think the more we can have that forward-looking approach of how do we educate people about what happened here that maybe we weren’t taught as we are seeing in other parts of the country and how do we reveal some of the uglier sides that are really important to know and be
responsible for,” she said. “So this is a really interesting project.” Simmons said the city, specifically the Golden Museum & History Park that will work closely on the project, was already thinking about ways to share the findings of the year-long study with the community. “Obviously we can publish a paper and that’s easy to do,” she said. “But is there something like an illustrated book or an exhibit at the museum? Are there other ways to get the information out?” First, however, the city will complete a public input process to get resident feedback about what the study should ultimately aim to do. To that end, the city recently posted a forum on guidinggolden.com that asks residents about the project. Recent responses include a suggestion that one aim of the project to be determine if there are sacred or ritual spaces that can still be preserved. Another respondent suggested that the project could lead to “real discussions and truth telling about the Western persona of Golden.” During the conversation with the Planning Commission, Simmons repeatedly emphasized that while the city should develop some goals for the project, it will need to be balance that with being as open-minded as possible about what it will find out and what those findings will lead to. “We really see this as step one or step zero,” Simmons said of the study.

Jeffco, Golden restricting tubing on Clear Creek due to unsafe flows Kayaks, canoes allowed but caution encouraged BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
If you were planning to cool off this weekend with some tubing on Clear Creek, think again. Unsafe water flows have led the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and Golden Police to partner on issue new restrictions that apply to Clear Creek in both unincorporated Jeffco and the city of Golden,

Also prohibited are body surfing and swimming. Kayaks, whitewater canoes, river boards and stand-up paddle boards are exempt, as are professionallyguided multi-chamber rafts. However, the press release announcing the restrictions states that users of exempt devices are encouraged to “observe extreme caution due to safety concerns surrounding swift

increase as the snowpack melts. Clear Creek’s status as a Type IV water area also means that there is increased risk to the public from such factors as undercut rocks and low temperature. According to the release, the temporary restrictions will remain in effect until water levels decrease. Violators may be issued a summons for a class 2 petty offense, which can come with a fine of $100. According to the Sheriff’s Office, these restrictions will be strictly enforced to minimize the risk to those using the waterway.

According to the release, the decision to implement the restrictions was made because water flows have recently been measured at over 900 cubic feet per second (CFS) and are expected to rise. Anything over 800 CFS is considered dangerous for inexperienced swimmers. The water height is also increasing and expected to continue to

is so much more than steel and concrete.” Michael Fordyce, SCL board chair and former president of Craig Hospital, said, “We look forward to the day when the joy of recovery and healing echoes through the halls of the new medical facility that will be built on this site.” Lutheran Medical Center President Grant Wicklund said the replacement hospital will be a more flexible and patient-centered design that will be more efficient, while expanding access to critical and emergency car and services to families across Jefferson County and the west Denver-area suburbs. “We look forward to continuing to drive economic growth in Jefferson County and west Denver by employing 2,000 people in well-paying jobs and contributing more than $1.1 billion in annual, local economic impact through the hospital,” Wicklund said. Wheat Ridge Mayor Bud Starker said the city and SCL Lutheran have begun reimagining the historic campus on the existing 100 acres at the existing 38th Avenue Lutheran site. “This master planning process is engaging our community as they share their ideas and excitement for the future of the Lutheran legacy campus,” he said. “Breaking ground today is an important first step in the process of ensuring our community continues to have access to high-quality, advanced healthcare

STUDY FROM PAGE 1
backyard” type. She also realizes that water storage is important, allowing the state to capitalize on the high-water events that may be few and far between, instead of seeing that unallocated snowmelt run downstream, being lost to the state. In 2016, the state legislature authorized cost-sharing for the Bear Creek Reallocation Study, a threeyear feasibility study that would look at environmental and economic impacts of the project. The state legislature and the Corps of Engineers shared the cost of the study. The Colorado Water Conservation Board, a division of the Department of Natural Resources, would oversee the study project. Bear Creek Lake is not the Lone Ranger in this scenario. Many other Colorado reservoirs are being looked at for additional storage capacity authorization as well. In fact, according to Gill, Bear Creek, Chatfield and Cherry Creek are all part of what’s known as the “Tri-Lakes Project.” She says the three dams were originally built under the Flood Control Act after some devastating floods in the 1960s. The “reallocation” moniker on the proposal, she says, refers to reallocation of use. “The use of this infrastructure has always been flood control,” she says. “Now, they want to add a use to it and reallocate some of that capacity for water storage.” Ultimately, the Cherry Creek proposal was not approved because of flood concerns. The Chatfield proposal was approved. But after being held up for years in a court case brought by the Audubon Society, the volume of water has not yet been increased. The Bear Creek study was set to begin in 2019 but was delayed to perform a semi-quantitative risk assessment, which found that increas-
ing storage volume would create increased flood risk, but the risk would be within tolerable limits. But Gill says the additional flood risk isn’t the only concern. She says the expansion would cover about 493 acres of the 1800-acre park. In fact, a 2017 memo from the Directors of Public Works and Community Resources to the Lakewood City Council, said the increase in the surface area of the reservoir would be 450%. By contrast, the proposed 20,000acre feet increase of storage volume at Chatfield represents a 39% surface increase due to the vast difference in size between the two reservoirs. “What is proposed in our park is so much more devastating than what was proposed for Chatfield,” Gill says. “Almost a mile of Bear Creek would be inundated, and almost a half-mile of Turkey Creek.” She thinks the expansion could cause irreparable damage to the riparian ecosystem (land that interfaces with a river or stream). Lakewood has, so far, not signed on to take part in the expansion program. The city has a lease to manage the park until 2040 but has no authority in this matter. To be even more clear, as of now, the people of Lakewood would not benefit directly from the extra water storage. Northern corridor communities like Berthoud, Brighton and Dacono would be the beneficiaries of the extra water storage in Bear Creek Lake. There would also likely be no additional recreational benefit to the expansion because of “unconstrained yield,” which deals with allocated and unallocated water rights. In other words, there is usually less water in the system than is already spoken for, so more holding capacity would not create an excess of water. Another of Gill’s concerns is that it’s unlikely, based on historical data, that there would actually be enough water to keep the reservoir filled at the increase levels. She worries that could lead to a situation

493 acres the additional water would take from the surrounding parkland in which vast areas of dry lakebed dominate the park for three out of every four years. Finally, she says the shallow depth of large portions of the Bear Creek Lake expansion area would make it a more inefficient solution because the lake would suffer higher levels of evaporative loss compared to a deeper reservoir holding the same amount of water. Erik Skeie, Special Projects Coordinator for the Colorado Water Conservation Board, is taking the lead on the Bear Creek project. He says the plan for the expansion originally came from the Corps of Engineers when they realized the dams at Bear Creek, Chatfield and Cherry Creek had been overbuilt and were capable of potentially holding the additional level of storage. Skeie says when the Corps approached CWCB with a plan to do the feasibility study, they accepted
because they were in the middle of writing the water plan and figured the state would need an additional 400,000-acre feet of storage by 2050. He said right now, the state is only holding a tiny amount of water at Bear Creek compared to what they could potentially store, and the ability to use an existing resource to store additional water, made the study worth doing. “We kind of thought this was a no-brainer to investigate whether or not we could use this pre-existing bucket.” According to Skeie, it’s unclear when the study will move forward, but he does anticipate it will happen at some point. He wants to make it clear to all interested parties that as soon as he knows more about the timeline, he’ll make that information available. SEE STUDY, P13

Lakewood tax refund for electric vehicles What you should know if you’re driving green STAFF REPORT
If you’re a Lakewood resident who purchased an all-electric vehicle prior to April 22, 2021, the city wants you to know they may owe
you some money. You might be due a refund of municipal sales tax paid at the time of purchase. But you’ll need to be proactive in collecting it. According to a statement on the city’s website, the refunds only apply to purchases of 100% electric-powered vehicles, batteries or controls made July 1, 2017, through April 21, 2021. If you think you’re owed this refund from
the city, you can complete a Claim for Refund Form at: www.lakewood.org/files/assets/public/finance/pdfs/3rd-party-claim-for-refund-ev. pdf Once filled out, you can email the form to taxauditor@lakewood.org, along with a completed W9 form and a copy of the invoice or registration indicating Lakewood’s tax was collected by the dealership or Jefferson County.
ARVADA SAYS NO TO AMAZON STUDY FROM PAGE 12
“There will be a very in-depth public comment process through the entire thing,” he says. “The Corps has a policy that they want to conduct all feasibility studies within three years of the go date. So, it would be three years (to complete the study) and as far as public comment goes, I believe the first opportunity for public involvement would be no more than 60 days after the first internal scoping team meeting.” He said the public comment process would include the corps, CWCB, City of Lakewood and folks from the Bear Creek Watershed Association. Skeie stresses that the CWCB will try to mitigate as much impact from the project (should it move forward) as they possibly can. He says although the addi-
tional 20,000-acre feet of water is a sizable chunk compared to the amount currently being stored, the dam itself is capable of storing 57,600-acre feet of water. And in an emergency situation, it would be capable of storing up to 75,000-acre feet of water. Skeie said concerns over ecological impact are very valid and would be taken into consideration in the feasibility study. He said additional mitigation steps were taken at Chatfield, and the same would hold true for Bear Creek Lake. As for Gill’s “dry lakebed” concerns, Skeie said CWCB had done some unconstrained yield analysis that showed there would be an average of 20,000-acre feet of water available, but admitted that some years, as much as 80,000acre feet would be available for diversion from Bear Creek, while in other low-water years, as little as 2000-acre feet would be available.

Urgent: Slow down to control hurry sickness
D
o you count the cars in front of you and always move to the line that seems to go faster? Do you check out the items in grocery carts ahead of you and calculate which check-out lane will move faster? Do you chronically feel short on time and try to accomplish every ALCHEMY task faster, only to get irritated with any kind of delay? If so, then you – as I do – might have hurry sickness. Yes, hurry sickness is a real thing. However, hurry sickness, someAndrea Doray times called excessive time urgency, is not disorder or a diagnosis, and it’s not an actual medical or mental health condition. But it is a compulsion I often have trouble managing. By definition, hurry sickness is “a
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Pass around that paper Many of us use the library or even the little book stands in neighborhoods for reading material. Yet how many of us share our newspapers. I receive the Wall Street Journal and my neighbor the Denver Post. After reading them we exchange papers, and also give a paper to an elderly neighbor (just a bit older than I am) who can’t afford a paper but likes to read them. The other day my wife was talking to some of her friends at the gym and mentioned something about “Cancel Culture” to them, and they had no idea what it was. This is possibly a failure to get information from more than one source, and in some cases any source, perhaps they cannot afford a paper. Newspapers are expensive, so why not share them as you would books, and allow current information to reach more readers? How many neighbors do you have that don’t even read one paper? Perhaps they would if you passed one on to them. What will you do? William Hineser, Arvada SEE LETTERS, P15

behavior pattern characterized by continual rushing and anxiousness and an overwhelming, persistent sense of urgency – even when there’s no need to be moving so fast.” I experience hurry sickness in pretty much every aspect of my life. At work, hurry sickness takes the form of multi-tasking, which is probably doing more harm than good. Stanford University research found that people who are “regularly bombarded with several streams of electronic information cannot pay attention, recall information, or switch from one job to another as well as those who complete one task at a time.” Hmmm … I often have trouble differentiating between when the urgency is real – such as getting to the airport to catch a flight – and when it isn’t. Even small, everyday things such as shopping, eating or (especially) driving feel like a race to me. And sometimes, focusing on just one thing can feel almost unbear-
able. In fact, I have an actual list called “things to do while doing something else.” This might look like playing solitaire on my phone while eating lunch or sorting and deleting photos while binge-watching episodes of “House.” There’s no telling what I’ll squeeze in while waiting on something in microwave! I’ve been driven by extreme time urgency for most of my adult life … I feel perpetually behind schedule, and there never seem to be enough hours in a day to accomplish what I need to do. Often, no matter how much I do get done, I feel as though as I’m playing catch-up. Fortunately, there’s lots (and lots) of advice for getting hurry sickness – and its resultant anxiety — under control. I’ve selected a few here that I’m going to work on: Wake up with enough time to enjoy a cup a coffee before I start work. I log on in the early a.m. to connect with colleagues across multiple time
zones, so allowing for time between bolting out of bed and booting up the computer sounds like a better way to start the morning. Practice mindfulness, even if it’s just a few breaths to help me focus on what’s going on in the moment, such as navigating the interstate, participating in a conference call, or simply watering my flowers. Embrace self-care … sleep, hydration, nutrition, relaxation and exercise. All I can say here is that I’m trying. But perhaps the most important remedy for the pressure and angst of my hurry sickness to make sure my friendships and relationships a priority. I am most nourished when I connect with the people I love and admire, and I’ve missed you.

When MVP stands for most variable player
S
o, Denver has an NBA Most Valuable Player this year. Our first in the history of the franchise in the NBA, and the first professional HITTING MVP for the city in a HOME … while. Anybody remember a guy named Manning? What’s amazing to me is how different Nikola Jokic looks than any of the recent NBA MVPs. And, no, I’m Michael Alcorn not talking even a little bit about the color of his skin. What I mean is, if you watch Jokic, he does not come across as, what you would say, an athlete. Well, other than the size— 6-foot, 11 inches. Other than that, he plays slow, his vertical jump can be measured in sheets of paper, and he has the physique of a centralcasting back yard dad. Thing is, he’s different. He would rather, I think, make a great pass to get one of his teammates a basket than make the basket himself. I’ve seen him make five or six different moves to get himself free for one shot (as the kids say, “putting his defender in a blender”). Rather than throwing the ball down in a thunderous slam dunk, he tends to float it gently through the air,
barely making the net move. But it works. For him. Nikola Jokic is the NBA MVP precisely *because* he does things differently than the other guys around him. I think it’s obvious to see that the Joker did not learn how to play basketball in America as a kid. You look at all the guys who play little defense, rely on speed and athleticism to create only for themselves, and then jack up long-range shots as the clock is expiring, and you see the pervasive influence of A.A.U. basketball— youth club basketball, whose only purpose is to showcase young talent to get them their one year of college exposure to get them their high draft pick. All without knowing how to play the game (ahem cough cough Michael Porter, Jr., cough cough). Jokic knows how to play the game, and it’s no coincidence that the player that almost singlehandedly eliminated the Joker from the playoffs was a 36-year old “old timer” (Chris Paul) who slayed the Nuggets with a thousand 12-foot jump shots. If you look at the baseball standings right now, there is another team out there finding ways to win without, perhaps, the top-tier talent and certainly without following the “formula” everybody else uses. No, I only wish the Rockies were this clever.
Right now, the Chicago White Sox are in first place in their division. And, granted, the Sox pitch extremely well, but they are winning with a different formula. They are the third-highest scoring team in baseball … while being in the bottom third of the league in home runs hit. They are one of only six teams in all of baseball that have a batting average higher than .250 (which, by older standards, is a pathetic team BA), but their team strikeout numbers are in the bottom half of the league. In other words, the Sox pitch well, and they put the ball in play at the plate without necessarily hitting it a mile, and they play good defense (very few unearned runs against). It’s not what everybody else is trying to do: strike people out, only swing for the fences, and don’t care a lot about defense. And, when the whole world is trying to pump out cookie-cutter versions of everybody else, being different works. You can do that, too, in the real world. Think about all the people at your job/in your industry that do things exactly the same way. Now, sometimes that’s just because that’s what works; but sometimes it’s because “that’s how we’ve always done it.” Thing is, if you do

Living with Wildfire: Fuel reduction around your home
W
ildfire has always played a prominent role in the environment of Colorado. Long before houses, towns GUEST and subdiviCOLUMN sions were estabDaniel Hatlestad lished across the landscape, fires were a natural result of the frequent summer thunderstorms and lightning that traveled across the region. However, nearly a century of fire suppression has resulted in a buildup of fuel loads, creating conditions that have the potential to create catastrophic wildfires. Within this natural fire environment there are individual homes and entire communities. Many existing homes may be unable to survive an intense wildfire. Since it is not a question of “if” wildfires will occur but “when” they will occur across the Front Range, the likelihood of human life and property loss is great and growing. Our ability to live safely in this fire environment depends on pre-fire preparation. These are actions taken before a wildfire occurs that improve the survivability of human lives and homes. It is important to remember that there are no guarantees when wildfires meet extreme conditions and firefighting resources may be limited. Multiple Large Fires in the Area or State Impact Resources Many people assume that when a wildfire starts, it will be quickly controlled and extinguished. This is an accurate assumption in the vast majority of fires. For most wildfires, firefighters have the resources, equipment, and technology for effective fire suppression. Some wildfires burn so intensely and expand so rapidly that there is little firefighters can do. Even airtankers and helicopters, if available, cannot be expected to save every home in these fires. Fuel reduction around your home can reduce risks to your home and increase firefighter safety. Your house is more likely to withstand a wildfire if grasses,

Wonderful story on Wilson Thank you for sharing the story about Lakewood High School Grad, Avery Wilson. As a social worker who has also lost family and friends to suicide, I feel hopeful seeing young leaders like Av-
brush, trees, and other natural and man-made fuels are managed to reduce a fire’s intensity. The Home Ignition Zone refers to the home itself and the immediate surrounding 30 to 200 feet. Survivable space is the modification of landscape design, fuels, and building materials around your home to make an ignition caused by wildfire unlikely, even without direct firefighter intervention. Create a survivable space around your structures by removing, reducing, relocating, and replacing fuels and vegetation to slow the spread of wildfire. Include detached garages, storage buildings, barns, and other structures in your plan. Survivable space involves developing a series of management zones in which different treatments are used. Zone round your Home This is the area of maximum modification and treatment. It consists of an area of at least 30 feet around the structure in which flammable materials and vegetation are removed and replaced with non-flammable decking or decorative stone and well-placed fire-resistant plants and groundcover. This distance is measured from the outside edge of the home’s eaves and any attached structures, such as decks or stairways. • Trees here are considered part of the structure, the fewer the better, and are at least 10 feet from the structure. • Remove “ladder fuels” from beneath trees. • Keep plantings within 3 to 5 feet of the walls to a minimum, especially if structure sides are flammable. Decorative gravel, flagstone or concrete decking is recommended in this area. • Dry grass next to flammable structural components can easily ignite and carry fire that may cause a home ignition. • Do not stack firewood or store other combustibles in this zone. • Remove branches overhanging or touching the roof to a distance of a least 10 feet. Remove all branches within 15 feet of the different. That’s what makes you stand out. Michael Alcorn is a teacher and writer who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children. His new novel, “Valkyrie’s Kiss,” a finalist in the ScreenCraft Book Competition, is available now at michaeljalcorn.net. His opinions are not necessarily those of Colorado Comery step into action to help people with mental health struggles. It seems mental health illnesses are being talked about more and young adults are stepping up to change the narrative. Kudos to Avery and all the other teenagers talking about this important issue and working to change the outcomes. Lisa Smith, Arvada
chimney. Moderate Fuel Reduction Zone The size of the zone depends on the slope of the ground where the structure is built. Typically, survivable space should extend at least 100 feet from the structure. Within this zone, the continuity and arrangement of vegetation is modified. Remove stressed, diseased, dead or dying trees, and shrubs. Thin and prune the remaining larger trees and shrubs. Be sure to extend thinning along either side of the driveway all the way to the main access road as this will assist with safe passage for you during an evacuation and for firefighters to access your home. These actions help eliminate continuous fuel surrounding a structure while enhancing fire safety and the aesthetics of the property. • Thin trees and shrubs at least 10 feet between crowns, more if on a steep slope. • Prune under large trees to a height of 10 feet. Remove ladder fuels from under trees. • Locate propane tanks at least 30 feet from any structures, prefer-
ably on the same elevation as the house. Keep flammable vegetation at least 10 feet away from these tanks. Do not screen with shrubs or vegetation. • Stack firewood and woodpiles at least 30 feet away and uphill from structure. Keep flammable vegetation at least 10 feet from woodpiles. • Dispose of slash (limbs, branches and other woody debris) removed from your trees and shrubs by chipping or by piling and burning with an appropriate permit. The Extended Zone is the area greater than 100 feet from the home. Space and prune trees and vegetation to keep flames smaller, lower to the ground, and to interrupt fire’s path. Fire is a natural part of our Colorado ecosystem. It is not a matter of if we are going to have wildfires, but when we will have wildfires and at what intensity. Homeowners must assume a major role in wildfire protection by taking action to reduce the ignitability of their homes before the threat of a wildfire. Daniel Hatlestad is the battalion
OBITUARIES FIORINO
EMILIO E. (LEE) FIORINO 1/18/1925 - 5/22/2021
Lee lived a long, healthful, prolific and vibrant life until his passing on May 22, 2021 at age 96. Born of Italian immigrants Emilio Fiorino and Ernestina Tessitore Fiorino in Little Italy, New York City on January 18, 1925, he served with the 204th Combat Engineers in Europe during WWII. After the war, he met the Love of his life, M. Madeleine Turgeon, and married her on September 24, 1949. As a young draftsman, he was selected to draw up safety upgrades for the Empire State Building’s observation deck. Recruited by renowned Denver architect Temple Buell, he moved in 1955 from NYC to Colorado to realize his ambition of becoming a prominent architect himself, and to raise a family in the wide open spaces of the West. In 1965 he designed and built a custom home for his fast growing family near Parker, CO. His several architectural design creations include Denver’s Tiffany Plaza. He retired to Tucson AZ, fulfilling a lifelong dream of living in the desert. There he continued his passion for photography and watercolor painting,
receiving several local and national awards for his work. His deep, abiding love and appreciation of music was a hallmark of his life and inspired the same within each of his children. A man of impeccable integrity, he was dearly loved by many and will be sorely missed. He is survived by his wife of 71 years, Madeleine, their 5 children, Robert, Paul, Michelle, John, and Ted, 11 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren. In lieu of flowers donations can be made in his name to the Rocky Mountain Down Syndrome Association at www.rmdsa.org/ donate, which happens to be located in the Majestic Building that he designed. Celebrations of Life will be held on Saturday July 10th at 2:00 pm in Tucson AZ at the SaddleBrooke Mountain View Ballroom and Sunday July 18th at 4:00 pm in Denver at the Eisenhower Chapel 293 Roslyn St. For more information about Lee or the Celebration of Life go to bit.ly/ EEFiorino.

Gardening always yields something to be proud of Plum Creek Garden Markets offer flowers, vegetables and herbs for the home-grower BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ardening is a challenge, yet it is such a satisfying pastime. “Gardening is one giant experiment. But that’s part of the fun of it,” said Keri Luster, manager of Plum Creek Garden Market’s Denver location. “There will be failures and OK, because you’ll learn from those. The key is just to have fun.” During Plum Creek’s off-season, Luster serves as a gardening consultant. “I really like helping people make the world a beautiful place,” Luster said. But not only that, Luster added, “gardening can help you grow as a person. It’s the pride of creating something.” Luster grew up in the gardening industry. Her father owned Groundcovers, which operated for about 40 years in the north University Hills neighborhood. Luster started going to work with her father when she was 12. In 2019, the city of Denver purchased the Groundcovers property and will eventually turn it into a public neighborhood park, Luster said. Gardening can provide you with something to be proud of, Luster said. “It’s hard work, but at the end of the day, you will be satisfied with what you did,” she added. All five of Plum Creek Garden Market’s seasonal pop-up markets opened on late April and are open seven days a week through June. Plum Creek Denver is located at 2150 S. Monaco Pkwy., which is in north Goldsmith. The markets boast more than 700

varieties of plants including perennials, annuals, vegetables, some fruits, herbs and some shrubs; as well as plants in hanging baskets; some accessories such as pots; and bagged goods such as soils, compost and fertilizers. “There were a lot of new gardeners starting to get into it last year because everyone was stuck at home,” said Matt Niemann, who oversees the operations of all five Plum Creek Garden Markets. “People wanted to make their home as beautiful as possible.”
An industry goal this year, Niemann added, is to keep all those new gardeners interested in their new-found passion. “And one way to do that is to them be successful,” Niemann said. There’s always something new to learn — whether beginner or expert — and the more time a person spends around plants, the more knowledge that person will absorb, Niemann said. “The enjoyment of gardening SEE GARDENING, P17

Building a history of architecture in Denver COMING ATTRACTIONS
Clarke Reader
O
ne of my favorite things about a city is the symphony of architectural and design styles that go into making it a vibrant and dynamic place to spend time. And History Colorado’s latest exhibit, “Building Denver: Visions of the Capital City,” takes people behind the scenes of the histories and meaning behind the Mile High City’s built environment. “We’ve been working on this exhibit for two years, and we want it to share the vision and stories of the architecture,” said Anna Mascorella, exhibit curator with History Colorado. “We’re looking for key moments that transform the city, including the many works of fantastic local architects and nationally-known architects.” Building Denver is on display at the History Colorado Center, 1200 Broadway in Denver, through Aug. 31, 2022. Numerous
events are being held during the next yearand-a-half as well as connected exhibits like Black in Denver, Five Points Plus: Neighborhood Memory Project and Brick and Soul. There will also be guided tours and treks for people who want a more boots-on-the-ground look at the city’s styles through Saturday, June 26. According to provided information, the exhibit uses its 3,000 square feet to examine the city from 1860 to modern times and centers on how the capital has changed during those last more than 150 years. Divvied up into five sections (a new city, a beautiful city, a contested city, a great city and a resilient city), it makes use of 2-D artifacts like maps and photos, as well as items like architectural models and drafting tools and historic pieces like an original light post from I.M. Pei’s 16th Street Mall. Building Denver isn’t only a look back —
incorporated into the exhibit is a thoughtful consideration of what the future of the city looks like, especially with challenges like climate change, the push and pull between development and preservation and cutting down on social disparities. “It was important that we featured a look at how architectural and design choices impact our daily lives,” Mascorella explained. “We want people to see themselves as active participants in the development of Denver. We know it’s not just architects and designers who build a city — residents and communities make an impact through advocacy and historic preservation.” The fact that Denver is always changing might be something some people complain about, but the exhibit highlights that it’s really worthy of celebration.

is in our human nature,” Niemann said. “There is enjoyment in planting something, caring for it and watching it grow.” People love color, so flowers tend to be popular for gardeners, and others enjoy plants that yield something they can eat, such as herbs or vegetables, Niemann said. Every situation is different, he added, but there is always a solution to any problem someone might be having in their gardening endeavor. It’s helpful for many people to visit a gardening center and talk with the experts who can provide all sorts of advice and knowledge, Niemann said. Coupar Lester of Denver’s Cory-Merrill neighborhood has been gardening as a homeowner for about 20 years but starting helping his grandmother with her garden when he was a teenager. Lester finds gardening therapeutic and relaxing, and enjoys flowers because of the color they add to his yard. But he and his wife enjoy cooking, and especially so with fresh ingredients, so Lester’s garden includes a variety of vegetables ranging from tomatoes and cucumbers to squash and peppers, as well as an assortment of herbs such as rosemary, basil, thyme and cilantro. The Lesters even have a peach tree they can harvest. “Gardening will give you a creative outlet to do something outdoors,” Lester said. After all, he added, “Colorado has a lot of wonderful days to be spent outside.”

“We really hope people see Denver in a new light and learn about the decisions that have defined the city,” Mascorella said. “It never has been a static city, and with things changing so fast in this current decade, now is a great opportunity to understand and see the city in a new way.” To schedule a visit and more information about the exhibit and many related activities, visit www. historycolorado.org/building-denver.

The buzz is back in the alley One year after the pandemic sent Miners Alley’s shows online, the theater is coming back to life BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
“THE TREASURER” WHEN: July 16-Aug. 17 WHERE: Miners Alley Playhouse, 1224 Washington Ave., Golden WHAT: Miners Alley is currently employing a “pay-it-forward pricing model” that invites audiences to pay what they can and in turn helps pay for those who wouldn’t normally be able to afford to see a show at the theater.

person the option to purchase access to what he is calling “the highest quality filmed version of the play that can be produced at this level.” But even as Matheo said he hopes to be providing “the best of both worlds” as people adjust at their own pace, he acknowledges that no filmed version of the show could ever compete with the real thing. “I actually don’t mind that,” he said. “I want to give what I’ll call a satisfying experience for the people at home, enough so that they’ll say `I really want to get back to the theater and when I feel comfortable I’m going back.’” Meanwhile, even those who are returning to the theater will find that not everything is quite as it was before the pandemic. Moore said one of the biggest changes on the production side, has been the addition of a COVID compliance officer, a new position mandated by the actors union with the responsibility of ensuring the production is following all COVID19-related rules and safety practices. “It is another person in the room that is going to be making sure that any moment when anybody comes within six feet of each other has to be directed not only from my point
of view as a director but also from the COVID compliance officer’s point of view,” he said. “So I’m glad ours is a play that has no kissing in it.” To the contrary, the show, which was written by Denver native Max Posner and follows a man dealing with the burden of an inheritance from the mother who abandoned him at age 13, is in many ways a study of distance and isolation. “I think a lot of these things are going to resonate with this particular audience going back to live theater,” Moore said. “And I think a lot of people are going to be process a lot of their grief and unresolved emotions about this past year by being able to see this play, which is really about universal issues that they’ve experienced this year, but not going to hit them over the head with the pandemic because it’s not about that.” While “The Treasurer” will be the first show to take place at Miner’s Alley since all restrictions on indoor performances were removed, the theater actually was able to stage four performances of another show “Zen and the Art of Profit” in April SEE MINERS ALLEY, P21

Tree smashes parked cars at Sterne Park No one injured; tree fell next to schoolteachers’ club BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A 60-foot cottonwood tree smashed into three parked cars at Sterne Park around 11 a.m. on June 8, landing just feet from a gazebo filled with members of a retired schoolteachers’ club and an aerobics class. No one was injured. Arborists with South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, which manages the park, removed the tree from the cars shortly after 1 p.m. It wasn’t immediately clear why the tree fell, but South Suburban arborist Eldon Garcia-Caldwell said he suspected the soil around the tree grew soggy throughout the wet spring, to the point that a gust of wind could have toppled it. It’s not unheard of for mature trees to fall, Garcia-Caldwell said. “We’re always concerned,” he said. “There’s no such thing as a safe tree. We’re just glad nobody was hurt.” Maureen Supple, whose 2002 Toyota Camry took a direct hit, had left her car just seconds before the tree fell. “I’ve cheated death before,” said Supple, a retired software engineer. “My friends have been telling me I deserve a new car anyway. Maybe I SEE TREE, P21

Wheat Ridge center announces new tenants Beer and pub fare are on the way to the iconic Gold’s Marketplace BY BOB WOOLEY VBWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

She was sitting in the gazebo and turned just in time to see the tree come down. “It felt like an earthquake,” she said. Paula Nowfel, also a retired Littleton schoolteacher whose 2018 Ford Escape took heavy damage to the left side, said she had been excited to come to the park. The meeting was the first in-person gathering since the beginning of the COVID crisis for the Alpha Gamma chapter of Alpha Delta Kappa, a retired schoolteachers’ club. “We were supposed to go to Hudson Gardens, but we switched to Sterne Park for the shade,” Nowfel said. “It was the first time, and hope-

This will be the third Esters location in the metro area, joining the Esters OG location in Virginia Village and the OP location in Oneida Park. “On our six-year anniversary of opening our original location in Virginia Village, we are excited to announce our third location in Wheat Ridge at Gold’s Marketplace,” said Paul Sullivan, owner of Esters. “This diverse, walkable fully the last time.” South Suburban maintains a web-based tree inspection database for all 47,000 trees in the district, said South Suburban spokesperson Becky Grubb, and said inspections are completed by the district’s master arborists. The tree that fell was last inspected and pruned in April 2021, Grubb said. The tree had good bud development at the time and had “no lean and an upright structure,” Grubb said. Asked if the car owners will receive compensation from South Suburban, Grubb said, “When South Suburban receives a property damage claim, it submits the claim to the insurance carrier, Colorado Special District Property and Liability Pool, for investigation and determination of liability.” Asked if the district has concerns that neighboring trees could fall, Grubb said arborists will conduct a risk assessment in the area. “There is always a risk with the constantly changing weather conditions,” she said. “However, South Suburban has no immediate concerns.” with starting with “The Treasurer.” But perhaps most important, it provided a reminder of and testament to the joy that will come with being back in a theater - even one that was allowed to be filled only to a fraction of its capacity. “To be back in that room just felt incredible,” said Moore. “And our audiences are really craving it.”
and welcoming community center reflects the energy and neighborhood feel that Esters is a perfect match for, we look forward to contributing to this space as a locally owned, Colorado-proud business.” Esters will take over the former Davies Chuck Wagon Diner location, opening Spring, 2022. Gold’s also recently announced the impending arrival of Queen City Collective Coffee to the revamped center. Queen City currently operates in Denver’s Baker neighborhood and the historic Five Points district. Set to complete major upgrades to the full shopping center in June,
Gold’s Marketplace is receiving a full refresh of the surrounding parking lot, upgrades to the landscaping, new wayfinding throughout and a custom crafted neon project sign. “Gold’s Marketplace is really the ‘gateway to Wheat Ridge’ and we wanted this place to honor all that the city has happening,” said Adam Radcliffe, founder of Outpost Investments. “We’ve begun to gather a collection of tenants that reflect authentic Colorado business owners who will be part of the local community in addition to providing great products and services.”

Arvada United Methodist Church holds Pride Month Celebration More than 70 attendees celebrate LGBTQ+ community BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Arvada United Methodist Church held a celebration in honor of LGBTQ+ Pride Month on June 13 at their location on Carr Street. The event was attended by over 70 members and supporters of the LGBTQ+ community featured a small parade, informational booths, and speeches from House District 27 Rep. Brianna Titone and AUMC Bishop Dr. Amy Gearhart. The event ran from 12-2 p.m. and saw attendees adorned in rainbow regalia with signs supporting the LGBTQ+ community. A youth group set up an informational table to share resources for young people who identify as LGBTQ+. The AUMC joined the Reconciling Ministries Network in 2000, meaning that the congregation believes that “all people are God’s children and affirm(s) that all people including LGBTQ+ people are created in God’s image.” AUMC Project Coordinator Katie Vigil said she felt the event was important to show the local LGBTQ+ community that they have a space where they’ll be accepted. “We are a proud progressive voice in Arvada,” said Vigil,” and our bishop (Dr. Amy Gearhart) identifies as a lesbian and she was installed in our church a few years ago — we are proud to have her come to our church and be here. We just want everyone to know they’re welcome.” June has been designated as Pride Month to honor the legacy of the Stonewall Riots, which began on June 28, 1969, in Greenwich Village, New York. The Riots are often cited as the catalyst of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement. Two protesters came to the event but stood on the opposite side of the street and did not interfere with the celebration. Titone said the event saw a positive move by a religious group, many of which have historically SEE PRIDE, P23

Q & A: Rep. Brianna Titone House District 27 Representative and Arvada resident BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In recognition of Pride Month,
the Arvada Press talked to House District 27 Representative Brianna Titone — the first trans legislator elected in Colorado — about living in ArTitone vada, the importance of Pride Month and LGBTQ+ legislation. The conversation has been

excluded members of the LGBTQ+ community. “I think it’s a real step in the right direction,” said Titone, “to take the initiative to show inclusion and welcome LGBTQ+ people into their congregation. It shows people that religion and being LGBTQ+ are not mutually exclusive; you can be both, and you should be welcomed into those places if you are, and it just shows the intersection of what our beliefs are.” Vigil said that she was glad the event featured an informational booth hosted by a youth group due to the heightened occurrence of suicide and suicide attempts among LGBTQ+ youths.

contemplate suicide at a rate of almost three times that of their heterosexual counterparts and are five times as likely to have attempted suicide compared to their peers who are not in the LGBTQ+ community, according to the Trevor Project, an LGBTQ+ youth advocacy group. “Our family ministry director wants to be sure to include the youth group,” said Vigil, “so they always know they’re loved and accepted however they are, and for parents to know that as well and not be afraid to talk about it. “I think it’s a special event to have,” Vigil continued,” because of the high incidents of mental health issues and suicides of kids who are having enough problems with the COVID-19 pandemic and then may not feel supported. With this project, we just want them to know that they are, and they will be welcome here.”

TITONE FROM PAGE 23
either going to go back to school or find a job. I was accepted to Tulane to get my PhD and found a job working for a mining consulting company here in Denver. It was a very difficult decision for me to turn down a full scholarship at Tulane to get a PhD, but I decided I wanted to come out here to be in the mountains instead of being under water. And that’s kind of how I ended up here. I like Arvada because it’s central to a lot of cool stuff. It has its own cool stuff and then you’ve got Golden, Boulder, Denver, and it’s kind of central to everything. What led you to get involved in politics? I was a volunteer firefighter when I was 16 and really got into that; taking all the different classes and learning all the different skills to be really good at my work as a volunteer in that respect. When I was going to school, 9/11 happened and it was very impactful. Being close to New York City, having a lot of friends that had families that worked and lived there and seeing a lot of firefighters lose their lives in that event was impactful to me as well. I had a couple of opportunities to join the military out of high school — they wanted me to do nuclear physics — but I had a secret life that I kept from a lot of people. As much as I didn’t get to be myself that often, I could do it at home and in my private space, and when you’re in the military you don’t have a private space. But I really wanted to serve my community, I wanted to help people. I had to figure out what to do next. And one of the things I realized was that I was sacrificing a lot of my own happiness and my own well-being thinking about everything that I wanted to do for everybody else. That’s when I started to get some therapy and look into all of this stuff that I was hiding from everyone, being a closeted trans person. And once I finally got the courage to come out — and it was with the help and support of a lot of my friends who made me feel like I was welcome as myself — it was a turning point for me because I realized that I was part of a community that was under attack in a lot of ways. And as somebody who wanted to help people and prevent people from being hurt and from
‘And one of the things I realized was that I was sacrificing a lot of my own happiness and my own well-being thinking about everything that I wanted to do for everybody else.’ being attacked, this was right up my alley. So, I just became an activist. As an activist, I went down to the Capitol and tried to educate people on different topics and showed up to rallies and was present in a lot of different ways that I never was before because I had a lot of privilege. I didn’t need to fight for anything for myself, but as someone who has not lost a lot of my privilege, I was going to stand up for other people. Through that activism, someone asked me to run for office. At the time, a trans person hadn’t won any election really to that point, but when Danica Roem won her race in 2017, along with Andrea Jenkins and Lee Cunningham, they broke the glass ceiling and it said, ‘it doesn’t matter what your gender identity is, if you have the heard and qualifications to do the work, people can take you seriously.’ And that’s how I ended up deciding that I would run. How did you navigate being an LBGTQ+ trailblazer and also an advocate for all constituents? I had to put my best foot forward and not make it about being trans. It’s about doing the work of the people, and that’s what I demonstrated and showed people. I’m not just doing this work because I want to be a trans person breaking these barriers, it’s about doing the work and doing it better than I’ve seen it done in this area because people deserve to have someone here doing the work at a high level. I always say that I have to wear two hats and have two different jobs. One of my jobs is to be the representative of people in House District 27 and do the work that everybody in my district is looking for me to do. And then when I have spare time, I also attend LGBTQ+ events, and I go visit schools. There’s not a lot of our voices that are represented right now, and it’s a lot of extra work that I have to do to try and inspire more people
to run for office and show LGBTQ+ kids that, ‘Hey, look, someone like you can do whatever they want to, someone like you can be president one day.’ What is the importance of Pride Month, especially in a community like Arvada? In general, it’s about being your authentic self and being unapologetically authentic in who you are. When we’re here together, that togetherness leads to strength in numbers. Just like in Stonewall, when everybody took to the streets, that was a turning point, and it was that solidarity and that community — that’s how we can make change. When we say the LGBTQ+ community, we really mean community in that respect. We all stick up for each other, we support each other.
What strides does Colorado still need to make in terms of LGBTQ+ issues? There are a bunch of different things that are still not quite complete yet. Marriage licenses are one thing. I was looking on running a bill on that to help trans people who are married before they come out as being trans and have a name change to be able to update their marriage license instead of having a new one. The thing about a lot of these issues is that it doesn’t affect a lot of people, so it’s not really high priority bills that we’re looking at. I try to do that as a late bill, I’ll probably work on that maybe next year. In terms of health care, we have OK health care. Medicaid is pretty good for trans people, they can get a lot of the things there want, but there’s still a few things that aren’t covered when it comes to healthcare. There are issues about adding mandates to coverage. That’s a federal issue that we’re actually looking at with one of my bills right now which is House Bill 1068, which is the mental health wellness exam and having a new mandate on health care can cause the state to be fined by the federal government. That becomes a problem if you’re trying to give coverage to people that didn’t have it before, mandating insurance companies to provide those services, you can run into this problem where the federal government can fine us. The one thing we really need to change, and I’m going to be talking to a lot of the folks who do trans care in Colorado, is about increasing the number of doctors who can actually treat trans people, because there’s not a lot of people who really know how to care for trans people and their specific needs and there’s a lot of people on wait lists to try and see doctors.

LAKEWOOD — Evergreen’s girls lacrosse team remained as hot as the artificial turf field at Trailblazer Stadium late afternoon June 10. The Cougars — No. 2 in the CHSAANow.com Class 4A girls lacrosse rankings — won their seventh straight game with a 13-8 victory over rival Green Mountain. Evergreen (7-2, 5-0 in 4A West League) also wrapped up the conference title with the league win over the No. 5 Rams (7-3, 3-2). “It’s really special. We’ve had a great season,” Evergreen coach Rachel Sanford said of the undefeated league record. “We’ve faced some top competition in our league, so we are happy with the success.” Green Mountain could have created a three-way tie for the conference title with a win over Evergreen. The Rams held a 4-3 lead late in the first half, but Evergreen sophomore Averi Gardner scored with 55 seconds left before halftime to gain some momentum. SEE EVERGREEN, P28

The Cougars preceded to score 5 unanswered goals to take a 8-4 lead in the first 10 minutes into the second half. “It was a big goal of our’s today to have a strong second half. We have been flat the last couple of games,” Sanford said. “We had lot of people come up big and we did great on the draws.” Senior Margo Miller, along with sophomores Bella Reece and Gardner combined for all 13 of Evergreen’s goals. “It was huge,” Miller said after her 6-goal performance to lead the Cougars. “I’m a senior and I’ve never won league. I wouldn’t have wanted to do this with any other team. Everyone came together this year.” Evergreen’s defense was solid in front of Evergreen senior goalie Lauren Spence. Green Mountain junior Shea Murphy led a comeback attempt for the Rams in the final 8 minutes. Murphy scored a teamhigh 5 goals to get Green Mountain as close as 10-7 with 3:31 left. However, Miller and Gardner scored three straight goals in the final minutes to get the lead back to a comfortable margin. “She (Miller) is a tremendous player and leader,” Sanford said.
“She really puts the team on her back a lot, but we have a lot of other threats. It’s really a nice rounded offense.” Evergreen has one more nonleague game at Arapahoe on Tuesday, June 15, before the Cougars find out where they will be seeded for the 12-team state tournament. Evergreen should get a very high seed. The Cougars were No. 5 in the RPI standings before the victory against Green Mountain. “We are looking forward to hosting,” Sanford said of the postseason. “It’s going to be fierce. We are looking forward to competing and playing our best.” Evergreen’s boys lacrosse team also went undefeated winning the first league title in the program’s history this Spring 2021 season. “The guys are having a great season too,” Miller said. “It would be pretty cool for both of us to go really far in the playoffs.” Green Mountain could also make history if it earns the program’s first playoff bid. The Rams were No. 8 in RPI before the loss to Evergreen. First-round playoff games are scheduled for Thursday, June 17, after brackets are released Wednesday, June 16.

D’Evelyn baseball closes strong to grab No. 8 seed BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS
GOLDEN — D’Evelyn baseball continued to build some momentum heading into the postseason Tuesday, June 8, at Golden High School. The Jaguars (11-4 record) finished out the Class 4A Jeffco League round-robin tournament between D’Evelyn, Golden and Evergreen with a 5-2 road victory over the Demons (9-7). D’Evelyn closed out the regular season with a 12-6 victory over Faith Christian on June 10. Winning 4-of-5 to wrap up the regular season helped give the Jaguars the No. 8 seed for the 4A regionals that were played Monday, June 14, after press deadline. D’Evelyn was scheduled to host the winner of Erie/Falcon at 2:30 pm Monday. “You want to be playing well going into regionals,” D’Evelyn coach Dan Porreco said after the win against the Demons. “This was a good win for us today.” It was actually the third meeting between D’Evelyn and Golden since May 27. The Demons took the first meeting 2-0 to wrap up the conference title, but since that win Golden has dropped four straight games. “The way we win games is we pitch well. We play defense and we have situational hitting,” Golden coach Jackie McBroom said. “If we don’t do those things we don’t win baseball games. We were doing that when we won league. It feels like we
D’Evelyn junior pitcher Troy Benko picked up the win on the mound, giving up just one run in five innings of work against Golden.
ran out of gas a little bit. We need to get back on track.” D’Evelyn stepped on the gas early Tuesday, June 8, plating four runs in the first three innings to take an early lead. Junior Bradley Blakemore got everything going with a lead-off double in the gap. Senior Matt Hatch and sophomore Kannon Perry both had an RBI in the first inning. “(Porreco) and I actually talked about my swing right before the game,” Blakemore said. “I’ve had it really short and we made it a little longer. That really helped with the first pitch of the game that I hit for a double.” Blakemore would single to right and score in the top of the first inning to extend the lead to 3-0. Junior
D’Evelyn sophomore Jack McMann slides head first into third base as Golden senior James Douthit waits for the ball during the battle between Class 4A Jeffco teams June 8 at Golden High School. D’Evelyn handed the 4A Jeffco League champs its PHOTOS BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS fourth straight loss with a 5-2 victory for the Jaguars.
Joe Zuber ripped an RBI double in the third inning to tack on another run. Blakemore struck again in the sixth inning with an RBI single to finish off his 3-for-3 game with a walk, two runs scored and an RBI. “The loss to Evergreen hurt yesterday because I was on the mound,” Blakemore admitted. “Winning 3-of-4 is good, but we definitely need to beat Faith Christian on Thursday for RPI.” D’Evelyn sat at No. 12 in the RPI rankings before the victory Tuesday.
