Adjustments suggested after gridlocked Goldens in Golden

A large-scale downtown event with record attendance.
A highway closure. Multiple emergencies.
On Feb. 8, Golden — particularly in and around the downtown area — was in complete gridlock. Now, city o cials and event organizers are working to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
As of Feb. 12, no plans had been nalized but are expected in the coming weeks.

was due to the annual Goldens in Golden event. Visit Golden, which hosts the event, has estimated about 7,500 people and 3,000 dogs were downtown celebrating National Golden Retriever Day. Attendees were trying to nd parking, with many forced to park a mile or more away. Some even walked along the train tracks from the eastern edge of town.
Another problem was that U.S. Highway 6 was closed for several hours between mid-morning and mid-afternoon due to a seriously injured rock-climber.
Tra c was diverted through downtown, the city stated in a Feb. 8 email, contributing to the gridlock.
Additionally, Golden police o cers were responding to other emergencies, “which hampered their ability to assist with tra c management,” the email explained. With these factors combined, downtown Golden devolved into “a total disaster,” as resident David Johnson described, saying it took him 45 minutes to drive two miles.

ere is no slide on the playground at Golden’s Shelton Elementary School.
e monkey bars are too tall for many younger students to reach; the rocks from the playground surface get into students’ shoes; and beyond swinging and climbing, there’s not much to do.
As Shelton PTSA President Maya Chain said, the playground looks like something designed for people to work on their upper-body strength. “It doesn’t seem to be designed for children,” she continued. But, Shelton students, parents and sta are working to change all that.
e school community is raising funds for its new playground, which will be installed sometime this summer. To that end, Shelton third-graders are sending letters to local businesses, asking for their nancial support for the nal $50,000.
e community has been fundraising for this playground for more than ve years and has collected about $147,000, including a recent $65,000 riving Communities grant from the city.
Chain and Shelton PTSA member Sarah Hawkins said the group hopes to reach its $200,000 goal by March.
Chain and Hawkins said the current $147,000 is enough to guarantee a new playground, but the more funds the community raises, the more features Shelton can add.

Every dog has its day, and this year, it was Feb. 8.
Historic crowds of people, their golden retrievers and other dogs funneled into downtown Golden for the annual Goldens in Golden event.
e annual event draws thousands of local and out-of-state golden retrievers and their families to celebrate National Golden Retriever Day in Golden. While the national day falls on Feb. 3, the Goldens in Golden event is on the closest Saturday.
Joy Meadows, a spokesperson for organizer Visit Golden, said this year’s o cial crowd estimate was 7,500 people and 3,000 dogs — the largest since the event started in 2019. us, for the rst time in the event’s history, the attendees had to take three group photos at 11:30 a.m., noon and 12:30 p.m.
Despite the crowds, many attendees enjoyed the event, petting all the happy dogs and meeting the cute puppies. ey also treated themselves and their furry friends to all sorts of treats unique to the day, like dog biscuits, pup cups and photo booths.
Visit Golden con rmed the 2026 date will be announced soon, after organizers discusses adjustments for next year with city o cials.

If You Don’t Find the Home You’re Looking for, We Have the Tools to Find On e That’s Not on the MLS
I took a class recently in which I learned to use a tool for searching public records in the same way that agents can search the MLS, using criteria that even the MLS doesn’t have. Now, if you can’t find a home for sale that meets your needs, we know how to conduct a search of all homes using those same criteria and reach out to the home owners to see if they would sell to you.
whether the home is owner occupied or a rental, and other criteria, including:
Deck
Swimming Pool
Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)
By the way, this tool is only available to agents who are Realtors — that is, members of the local and national Realtor association. Only about half of Colorado’s licensed real estate agents are Realtors.
Here’s how it works. Although not always up-to-date because of homeowners who did not get permits for certain improvements to their homes, the public records do contain extensive information that can be searched using this tool.
We can search not only for style, square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms and lot size, but also for finished or unfinished basements,
Barn
Workshop
Corner lot or cul-de-sac
Fireplace
Estimated value
The estimated value is not the assessor’s valuation which is often inaccurate and, at any rate, not current. The assessor’s valuation is as of June 30th of the previous even numbered year (2024). This tool’s valuation is based on recent comparable sales from both the MLS and off-MLS transactions.
Last, but definitely not least, we can search for homes that were purchased over 5, 10, 15 or 20 years ago. Owners who purchased their home less than five years ago are least likely to be interested in selling, so we don’t bother.
By the way, this same tool can also be used instead of the MLS itself to search MLS listings using those same search criteria above, many of which are not available on MLS
searches. Also, we can add any other search criteria that is important to you, not just the ones listed above, using a key word search. These can include anything — sauna, walk-in bathtub, or you-name-it (literally).
Another important criterion for any buyer is location. You can specify any area, city or subdivision — or multiple areas and subdivisions.
So, let’s say, hypothetically, that you would like us to solicit owners of two-story homes with Littleton addresses but not in Douglas County that were purchased over 10 years ago. The home must have 3-4 bedrooms and 2 or more bathrooms, and it must have a 3-car garage, a finished basement and a workshop. You will consider homes with a valuation up to $900,000. The house should be not more than 30 years old, and it must be owneroccupied.
Working with those criteria, we come up with an Excel spreadsheet which includes the address and name of the owner. Using a separate app, we could add to the spreadsheet the landline and cell number of each owner .
Using a mail-merge program, we could send individually printed letters in individually printed envelopes saying that we have a
Have You Heard of ‘Pig Butchering’? It the Latest, Most Dangerous Kind of Scam
We all know someone who has been scammed. My own sister lost $15,000 to a scammer. Since starting this column/ad in 2003, I have warned readers at least ten times about rental scams, and a few months ago I described how a scammer listed a parcel of land he didn’t own with us, and we only found out that was the case when the title company sent a FedEx letter to the owner of record to verify the transaction before it was “sold” to a neighbor.
In my April 6, 2017, column I wrote about a Golden man whom I met because he wanted to buy a million-dollar property once his “inheritance” arrived from his Nigerian scammer. I couldn’t convince him he was being scammed, and he died penniless and homeless, still clinging to his dream.
You and those you know probably have your own stories about scammers.
Recently I came across of an 8-part podcast by Economist Podcasts called “Scam, Inc.” I strongly recommend listening to it.
(It costs a couple dollars per month to subscribe to all Economist podcasts, but this one is worth every penny by itself, and you can cancel after you’ve listened to it.)
“Pig butchering,” I learned, is a Chinese term. Pork is their most precious meat, and the scam entails finding the “pig” (you), building a pig sty (messaging by text or on WhatsApp), feeding it (building rapport, and eventually guiding the person to invest in crypto), rewarding it (showing phony paper returns on the crypto investment), and ultimately butchering it (taking all your funds before you realize the investment was a hoax). Pig butchering take a lot of time.
It sounds a lot like what Bernie Madoff did, doesn’t it? But this is done by Englishspeaking Southeast Asians, mostly in Myanmar, who find a reason never to betray themselves by speaking to you on the phone, where you would recognize they’re not who they pretend to be.
Sometimes, but not always, these are ro-

mance scams, where the scammer gradually convinces you of their love and provides pictures which are stolen off the internet. The first example in the Scam, Inc. podcast, however, was of a Kansas bank president who was conned into investing his bank’s reserves in crypto by a non-romance scammer who simply appealed to the banker’s desire for self-enrichment. He lost $42 million of the bank’s money. The bank was ultimately forced out of business. No one who knew the president could believe what he had done.
Here’s a bit of advice I learned. Take the picture you received from a possible scammer and go to the search field of Google.com. At the right of that field next to the microphone icon is an icon which says “Search by image” when you float your cursor over it. Click on that icon, drag or upload a picture, and it will instantly show you everywhere that picture appears. I uploaded my own picture and, fortunately, it only showed my own websites.
Again, please listen to the “Scam, Inc.” podcast. You’ll learn a lot you need to know.
buyer who is looking for a home like theirs. We could also call the owners or give you the list and let you call them after you’ve signed a buyer agency agreement with us. (This would require that the home is not listed by another agent, which we can confirm.)
This tool can also be used to search expired listings without the use of lead generation services which often provide faulty or out-ofdate data and don’t verify that the home has not been relisted by another agent.
Although the inventory of homes for sale is much greater than it has been, this tool allows us to open up the whole universe of homes, whether for sale or not, which match your specific desires. If this sounds like something you’d like us to play with on your behalf, call me or any of our broker associates (listed below) and we’ll get to work for you.
Is Your Home Wildfire Ready?
My January 13, 2025, column described ways in which homes could be made fireresistant. If you read that article on our blog, http://realestatetoday.substack.com, you saw multiple links to articles and reports from Colorado to California on how to harden you home against wildfire. Since then, I became aware of a website, www.RotaryWildfireReady.com, created by the Rotary Clubs of Evergreen, Conifer, Boulder and Mountain Foothills, in cooperation with fire departments, community leaders and Fire Adapted Colorado. You’ll be impressed, as I was, by how comprehensive this website is, providing a wide array of advice and resources, not just on hardening your home but on preparing for the eventuality of an evacuation order.

Over 2,300 voted from jail in 2024 under new state law
BY LINDSEY TOOMER COLORADO NEWSLINE
e number of Coloradans in jail who voted in the 2024 election soared from previous years after a new law required county clerks to hold a day of in-person voting in every county jail.
Kyle Giddings, deputy director of the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition, said data he has collected from county clerks and the secretary of state’s o ce show that over 2,300 people voted from jail in 2024, compared to 231 voters during the 2022 midterm elections. at includes in-person voting and those who submitted a mail ballot.
“Across the board, everyone really stepped up to the plate and got it done,” Giddings said.
In Colorado, people in custody on pre-trial status are eligible to vote, as is anyone serving time for a misdemeanor conviction. People with felony convictions lose their right to vote only while they are serving time for that felony conviction, and they regain their right to vote once their sentence is complete.
A Colorado law passed last year requires county sheri s to designate someone to help eligible voters in jails cast their ballots. e designee is responsible for informing con ned individuals of their eligibility and coordinating with the county clerk to set up a temporary, inperson voting center at their local county jail. e law, Senate Bill 24-72, requires a designee from the clerk’s o ce be pres-
ent to facilitate in-person voting for six hours on one day.
Voters in jail must also receive information on candidates and measures included on the ballot so they can know who and what they’re voting for.
Je erson County Clerk Amanda Gonzalez, who is running for secretary of state in 2026, said she’s proud of the turnout her county saw during this election. In the 2022 election, before Gonzalez was clerk, three voters cast a ballot from jail, and in 2024, the county had 348 people vote from jail.
“I want to continue to see this program expand -- I want to see every single eligible voter participate in our democracy -- but I am really proud that we made a signi cant step forward toward that goal during this cycle,” Gonzalez said.
One voter in the Je erson County jails voted for the rst time and hadn’t known he was eligible, Gonzalez said. He told her sta it was “one of the top ve experiences of his life and that it made him feel like he mattered.”
“Of course, every voice matters, but in particular, this is a population of people who are often told that they don’t matter, or because of a mistake that they made, that they shouldn’t have a voice,” Gonzalez said.
e clerk’s o ce also coordinated with the sheri so that sta in the jails reminded people they could be eligible to vote before the day of in-person voting to increase awareness and register voters, Gonzalez said. Je erson County Sheri

Reggie Marinelli testi ed against the law when it was going through the Colorado Legislature last year, but Gonzalez said since it passed they worked together to implement it in “a very professional way.”
“We’re really grateful to the sta on her team that really went above and beyond and were great to work with,” Gonzalez said. “ ere are times when we disagree, and that’s OK, and once the law was passed, they were great partners.”
e Je erson County Sheri ’s O ce said in an email that bringing in the equipment sta from the clerk’s o ce needed to conduct in-person voting was a challenge, as well assigning additional sta to manage security and bring voters in and out. e clerk’s o ce had more than 20 personnel on site, which required “extensive preparation and planning” to ensure a secure environment.
Arapahoe County Elections Director Bill Mast said his county started holding in-person voting in jail in 2022, but the transition to meet the requirements of the new law went smoothly for 2024. He said they anticipated higher interest from incarcerated voters for the presidential election, so the clerk’s o ce held in-person voting over four days in the jail.
“We value this program. We’ve prioritized it for a number of years. We were ecstatic to see this bill go through to kind of reinforce what we were already doing in collaboration with our nonpro t sector partners, and our sheri ’s o ce,” Mast said. “We are just happy that all of our voters have an opportunity to get their voices heard, their ballots cast.”
Mast said 47% of those held in jail in Arapahoe County are residents of other counties, which meant those voters had to use a statewide ballot. Arapahoe County had 128 people vote in-person in jail, which included 60 statewide ballots.
Needs di er by county
During hearings on SB-72 before the law passed, El Paso County’s sheri and clerk’s o ces testi ed against the bill. Clerk and Recorder Steve Schleiker said that while he had concerns over thenancial and operational impact it would have on his o ce, the process in November was “very successful.”
El Paso County went above and beyond the law’s requirements and held two full days of jail voting, which involved two separate in-person voting centers — one for each pod within the jail “to ensure the safety of all,” Schleiker said. Sheri s’ deputies in one pod would escort one voter at a time, while deputies could escort four at a time in the other pod.
In total, 308 people in the roughly 1,800-person capacity jail voted inperson. Schleiker said the incarcerated voters were all kind and appreciative to have the opportunity to vote in-person,
though he thought they would see a higher turnout.
“All in all, we feel it went amazingly well without much guidance from the state,” Schleiker said. “We just concentrated on making sure every eligible voter was able to sit there and cast their ballot, and also the safety of all involved.”
Giddings said he wants to nd a way to improve incarcerated voters’ access to their local ballot if they are in custody in a county other than the one they are registered to vote in. In November, if someone was in jail in a county other than their own, they voted on a statewide ballot. Schleiker said this was a challenge in El Paso County as well, because with such a large jail population, many people in custody are from a di erent county or even another state.
Issuing statewide ballots can be complicated, according to Mast, because there is an additional process for verifying the voter’s eligibility. e ballots also have to be mailed to the voter’s home county, which “introduces risk to processes.” Mast said it would be easier if they could just count that ballot in Arapahoe County.
“We know the ballot needs to be counted in a statewide contest -- (it) might as well be counted here,” Mast said. “It’s going to be quicker for results, it’s going to be quicker for the voter to know their ballot was counted, and it’s much simpler for us.”
Developing a clear process and guidelines for bringing people in and out of the voting areas in jails could also be helpful for certain counties, Giddings said.
Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a Democrat, said in a statement that her o ce looks forward to building on the rst year of the jail-based voting program for future elections.
Low jail capacity, low turnout
About 26 counties had nobody cast a ballot from jail, but 17 of those counties don’t have their own jail. Giddings said he isn’t concerned that anything went wrong in counties with no turnout, though, because of how small their jail capacities are. For example, the Crowley County jail only has a 14-person capacity, and it’s possible nobody was in the jail the day the county held in-person voting.
In Elbert County, Clerk and Recorder Rhonda Braun said everyone in custody chose to vote with a mail ballot, though in-person voting was still o ered.
“Our Sheri ’s o ce was incredibly helpful and we worked together to make sure that every eligible incarcerated voter was able to vote,” Braun said in an email. is story is from Colorado Newsline. is story was made available via the Colorado News Collaborative.

AI tool may be just what the doctor ordered
Denver Health program saves hours on electronic medical records
BY JOHN INGOLD
THE COLORADO SUN
Dr. Daniel Kortsch is a pretty popular guy these days in the hallways of Denver Health, the hospital where he works in primary care.
Colleagues come up to him for spontaneous hugs. He’s received at least one box of chocolates.
e reason for this a ection has to do with Kortsch’s other job at the hospital — as chief medical information o cer, sort of a guru at the intersection of technology and patient care. After months of testing, Denver Health is now widely rolling out an arti cial intelligence program that helps doctors transcribe conversations with patients and then convert them into notes that can be entered into the hospital’s electronic medical records system.
Sound simple enough? Well, for doctors overburdened with tedious documentation work long after their day at the clinic is over, it is life-changing.
“It’s transformational,” Kortsch said. “I think it is the most transformational technology I have seen in my medical practice, ever.”
Arti cial intelligence has for years now been making its way into patient rooms and medical records in Colorado, whether that is to diagnose tricky conditions or to spot health risks before they emerge. But Denver Health’s use of AI highlights
another front: e potential for AI programs to make doctors’ work ow a little less clunky and burdensome.
e program Denver Health uses comes from a company called Nabla, which now counts 50,000 doctors and other medical practitioners across the globe — but mostly in the United States — as adopters.
e Nabla program supports 35 languages, and it integrates directly with a hospital’s medical record system.
Because Nabla was developed specically for use in medicine, it is trained not to trip up on complex medical jargon or tongue-twister drug names, in the way that more generic AI transcription services might. If it does make a mistake, users send a note to Nabla informing the company of the goof.
“ e point is really to focus on patients, not the clinical notes,” said Delphine Groll, a Nabla co-founder and the company’s chief operating o cer.
To use the program, doctors simply click a button and then talk with their patients naturally while the program works in the background. For privacy reasons, the program does not keep a recording of the conversation, and the transcript it creates is quickly deleted.
At the end, the program produces a summary of the visit for the doctor to review. If the doctor gives the OK, those notes get entered into the hospital’s records system — looking very much like the kinds of notes on visits that doctors have long entered into patient records.
But what used to take several minutes per patient now takes a few seconds. e result, Kortsch said, is less time working in the clinic after hours to catch up on documentation and less “pajama time,”
the term doctors use to describe the hours at home at night spent on digital paperwork.
“It makes everything slightly easier and slightly better,” Kortsch said.
At Denver Health’s Montbello Family Health Center, physician assistant Jessica Wallace said she typically sees 10 to 12 patients during every half-day shift. at comes out to about 15 minutes per patient.
“ e demand in terms of what we’re expected to do within primary care have increased exponentially over time, and our patients have become a lot more complicated,” she said.
A patient may come into the clinic not just to address one issue — hypertension, say — but multiple issues at a time — hypertension and diabetes and knee pain. at’s a lot to cover in just a few minutes.
Before Nabla, Wallace would walk out of a patient’s room and think to herself whether she had enough time to crank out notes to enter into the patient’s record before racing to the next appointment. If she didn’t, it meant working late or at home at night.
But now, she said, she has enough time
REVERSE MORTGAGES
to enter the notes and then go to the bathroom or grab a drink of water.
“It doesn’t solve all that ails primary care,” she said. “It takes away the one stupid thing that nobody loved doing andnally makes it easier.”
Kortsch said Denver Health has mainly presented Nabla to its medical providers as a wellness initiative — a way to help ease burnout due to the digital paperwork of an electronic medical records system. And in that sense, it appears to be succeeding.

State’s graduation rate rose and dropout rate fell in 2024
BY MELANIE ASMAR CHALKBEAT
Colorado’s class of 2024 had a higher graduation rate and a lower dropout rate than the previous class — a trajectory that the state education commissioner called “promising progress.”
Statewide, 84.2% of students graduated in 2024 within four years of starting high school, according to data released by the Colorado Department of Education. at’s 1.1 percentage points higher than in 2023 and 3.1 percentage points higher than in 2019, before the pandemic.
e statewide dropout rate fell to 1.9% in 2023-24, from 2.1% in 2022-23. However, the dropout rate remained slightly higher than the state’s historical low of 1.8% in 2019-20.
Students in the class of 2024 were in eighth grade when the pandemic shuttered school buildings in 2020. Most of them missed out on a typical start to high school due to remote learning.
“I am encouraged by the momentum of our state’s multiyear improvements, especially in the gaps that are closing, and we also must do more to keep students engaged in meaningful learning experiences that prepare them for success after graduation,” state Education Commissioner Susana Córdova said in a statement.
e gaps refer to the di erences in graduation and dropout rates based on characteristics such as students’ race, disability status, and whether they are multilingual learners, which means they are learning English as a second language. In 2024, about 89% of white students graduated within four years. e four-
year graduation rate for Black students was about 78%, and the rate for Hispanic students was about 77%.
White and Hispanic students posted higher graduation rates in 2024 than in 2023, but the gap between them remained the same. e graduation rate for Black students fell 0.3 percentage points from 78.6% to 78.3%, widening the gap between Black and white students.
e graduation rates of multilingual learners, students with disabilities, students experiencing homelessness, and students in the foster care system improved from 2023 to 2024, though the rates for those student groups remained below the statewide rate.
At a press conference Jan. 22, state education o cials highlighted two school districts — Greeley-Evans and Ignacio — for signi cantly improving their graduation rates. Ignacio’s four-year graduation rate jumped more than 11 percentage points from the previous year to 87.3% in 2024.
Ignacio Superintendent Chris deKay said partnerships, including with the Southern Ute tribe, are important for his small rural district in southwestern Colorado. About a third of Ignacio’s 650 students are Native American, he said.
“When we developed our mission statement, we started with this word: Together,” deKay said.
Greeley-Evans leaders cited a focus on ensuring ninth graders stay on track academically, which puts them on a solid trajectory toward graduation. e district has also increased the number of activities, such as band and theater, that it offers to keep students engaged, and boosted its career and technical programs so students can see the real-world value of

conditions,
their education, leaders said.
“Something I often say here in District 6 is that we are educating our children out of poverty,” Greeley-Evans Superintendent Deirdre Pilch said, “and that is what we do when we ensure children are college and career ready and graduate on time.”
State o cials also spotlighted the small metro-area Englewood district for decreasing its dropout rate by 2 percentage points. Englewood leaders credited the work of the district’s alternative school, Colorado’s Finest High School of Choice, which serves students from Englewood and surrounding districts.
Among the 10 Colorado school districts with the highest percentages of students of color and more than 1,000 students,
seven posted higher graduation rates in 2024 than in 2023. e Adams 14 district saw the biggest increase, from about 69% of students graduating within four years in 2023 to about 76% in 2024.
Denver Public Schools’ four-year graduation rate grew from 79% to 79.9%. Graduation rates in the Mapleton, Sheridan, Harrison, Pueblo City 60, and East Otero districts also rose.
Aurora Public Schools, Westminster Public Schools, and Weld Re-8 had lower graduation rates. Aurora’s four-year rate dropped from 74.9% in 2023 to 73.4% in 2024.

PROGRAM
e hospital has a little over 500 medical providers using Nabla. In an earlier pilot project, Kortsch said the hospital saw a 42% reduction in manual typing by those using Nabla. A survey found that 83% of providers using Nabla said the program has increased their desire to continue seeing patients.
But there have been other bene ts, as well. Kortsch said Nabla has been “budget neutral” for Denver Health — meaning it has allowed doctors to see more patients, which has o set the cost of the program. And patients, who are informed about the use of Nabla before
each visit, also appear to like it. Denver Health’s patient satisfaction scores have improved for providers using Nabla. One reason for that, Kortsch said, is that use of the program has appeared to increase eye contact between doctors and patients.
In other words, physicians are turning their eyes away from the computers where they had previously typed furiously during visits and turned them toward the people they are actually treating.
“ e only di erence you’ll notice,” Kortsch said, “is that your doctor looks at you more.” is story was printed through a news sharing agreement with e Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned nonpro t based in Denver that covers the state.

Je co’s plan for Je erson
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
For years, Joel Newton has watched Je erson Jr./Sr. High School shrink, not just in size but in opportunity.
His daughters saw electives disappear. Sports teams struggled to nd enough players. Teachers came and went.
As executive director of the Edgewater Collective, Newton has spent the past decade working to strengthen schools in the Je erson articulation area, but the challenges have only grown.
Now, Je co Public Schools is proposing a major restructuring — one that would merge Je erson students into Wheat Ridge High School and Everitt Middle School while repurposing the Je erson building for a career-focused program or part-time Career and Technical Education center.
As a result, Je erson Jr./Sr. High School would close for the 2026-27 school year for construction and planning.
District o cials say the change is necessary to provide students with better academic opportunities, pointing to a boundary study showing that enrollment has steadily declined, from over 700 students at its peak to fewer than 450 projected in the coming years.
Lisa Relou and Claire Takhar, district ofcials leading the transition, said Je erson’s low enrollment makes the school unsustainable.
But for many families, predominantly Latino, working-class and deeply rooted in the neighborhood, the proposal feels like yet another loss.
“ is news comes as fears connected to immigration raids are deeply impacting this community,” Newton said. “Our schools are a safe space, and the loss of this connection is really hard.”
Newton also pointed to rising home prices and gentri cation, which have led higher-income families to opt into schools with more programming options, further driving Je erson’s decline.
“Je erson gets a considerable amount of perpupil funding,” he said. “I’m not convinced the district knows how to help them succeed.” Takhar acknowledged that the community has called for change for years but said previous e orts haven’t reversed enrollment declines.
“Je erson Jr./Sr. High has received over $7.8 million in additional dollars over the last decade, including Title I funding to support programming and outcomes,” Takhar said. “Ultimately, these resources haven’t reversed the enrollment declines, and so the patterns have continued.”
School closure by another name
As recently as September 2024, Je co Superintendent Tracy Dorland assured the Lakewood City Council there would be no more school closures for at least three years.
But for many students who prefer a comprehensive high school experience, the district’s plan to shutter Je erson Jr./Sr. High School for a year and reopen it as a career-focused program feels like a closure in all but name.
“I still feel like it’s ambiguous and confusing
because it sounds a lot like closing a school and consolidating it into another one and then guring out what to do with the building — just said in di erent ways,” Board Member Danielle Varda said.
Board Member Erin Kenworthy echoed concerns that the community sees this as a closure, regardless of the district’s framing.
“I know declining enrollment is just a hard reality, and we’ve been dealing with it here in Je co for a while,” Kenworthy said. “From the people who’ve reached out to me, what they heard is closure. And they’re still struggling with understanding how two stable elementary schools equals one unstable junior/senior high school.”
District data supports the concern. Lumberg and Edgewater Elementary Schools have stable enrollment and are not at risk for closure, yet nearly half (47%) of families in the Je erson boundary choose to enroll in other middle or high schools.
at number is alarming for Kenworthy.
Je co Public Schools announced plans to close Je erson Jr/Sr High School for the 26-27 school year due to declining enrollment and reopen the following year in a di erent format.
“When we look at 47% of students choosing out of our junior/senior high school, we’re looking at an unfortunate victim of the privilege of choice for families,” she said. “So we’re seeing another Title 1 school essentially being abandoned due to community choice. Other small schools across the state have found ways to still o er a comprehensive program, but that requires a lot of innovation and support.”
Community engagement opportunities
Newton said he hopes that the district will use this opportunity to listen to students and redesign the school in terms of opportunities that t the hopes and dreams of those who plan to attend.
“I want them to listen to students and families who historically haven’t had access to the same opportunities as students at other high schools,” Newton said.
District o cials have outlined several engagement opportunities to gather community input before nalizing a plan. e rst information session took place on January 28, where district sta presented the draft proposal and elded questions from families, teachers, and students.
“We have the opportunity to engage with community in a di erent kind of discussion,” said Takhar. “We did a lot of listening, we did a lot of presenting to try to explain some of the ideas we were bringing forward to the community for consideration, and then we did a lot of listening.”
A series of co-design sessions are planned for Feb. 11, March 3 and March 31, where community members can share ideas, provide feedback and explore alternative solutions to the district’s proposal.
“ ese are places to share ideas and come up with solutions,” Takhar said. “We’re going to have chart paper and sticky notes and dots and nd ways to have conversations about this draft plan.”
ose needing child care or translation services for the Feb. 11 meeting are asked to RSVP by Feb. 7.
By April 30, district o cials plan to recap community feedback and outline next steps. If a nal proposal emerges from this process, the
board will vote on it in June or August 2025.
While district leaders insist this is an opportunity to reimagine Je erson’s future, skepticism remains.
Kenworthy urged families to actively participate in the upcoming meetings to ensure their voices are heard.
“For the folks who sent me emails and text messages during the community meeting, I just want to say here that I’ve heard from district sta that they do want to hear solutions and ideas from community members,” Kenworthy said. “You have to show up and participate if you want to be heard.”

Watch How Things Change at ’Clybourne Park’
Agood satire has the power to hold a mirror up to society and show the many ways things could be changed for the better. at’s the aim of Bruce Norris’“Clybourne Park,” which the Arvada Center is staging for its rst show of 2025.
Directed by Kenny Moten, “Clybourne Park” runs at the Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through Sunday, March 30. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, 1 p.m. on Wednesday and 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
According to the provided information, “Clybourne Park” uses one modest bungalow in a Chicago suburb to explore how society changes over time. e show goes from 1959 to 2009 and during that time the neighborhood transitions from a predominantly white neighborhood to a predominantly Black neighborhood. e audience has the opportunity to explore topics like race, gentri cation and more throughout the decades.
We interviewed Kendall Malkin, who plays Betsy in the production, about the show, her character and more.
Interview edited for brevity and clarity. Who is Betsy?
She is a Deaf character who also happens to be eight months pregnant and married to Karl. I am Deaf, and I found it appealing that this production was searching for authenticity with having a Deaf actor play a Deaf character. is is something that is not common, but there’s a growing change in the theater world to include more actors with disabilities. However, I also had to consider the time period and how Betsy is portrayed in regards to how she communicates.
COMING ATTRACTIONS
What’s your favorite part about being in the show?
My favorite part has to be how inclusive the Arvada Center and this production has been, which you will see is very ironic because in this play Betsy is often excluded. e cast and crew has been very welcoming and thoughtful, often asking great questions to get to know me, but also how to accommodate my needs.
ey have provided ASL interpreters during rehearsals which has been profoundly helpful to assist me to succeed in my role and working with the cast.
What do you hope audiences take away from the show?
Many people who would meet Betsy would think that is how all Deaf people communicate. Betsy has what is often called “Deaf speech,” and signs at the same time. However, I want to be clear that is actually not how I speak. ere is a spectrum of communication in the Deaf community. Some deaf people can speak well, others may not be verbal for various reasons and communicate with sign language. In regards to the show, I think it sparks much-needed conversations and awareness of how we interact, understand and include people in our everyday lives.

Your work today will reap benefits in the future
Ten years ago, my wife, Beth, decided that we needed to plant a vegetable garden. Not just a garden; a raised garden. I was nonplussed by the idea; it looked like a ton of work, and I had survived 40-plus years without a garden and seemed to be doing OK.
But I went along with the plan. First, the raised boxes had to be built; then the sprinkler system for the boxes needed to be installed; then the huge (emphasis on huge) pile of super special garden growing dirt needed to be moved from the street to the boxes; and after all of that, we had to purchase the plants, and nally we needed to plant things in speci c places. e tomatoes needed a wall to climb, the zucchini needed room to vine, and each plant needed to be perfectly placed.
e entire process took several weeks of hard work, enduring weather that was either too cold or too hot, which led to more than a few frustrated exclamations. e work was challenging, and throughout it all, I struggled to see a compelling reason for putting in such e ort. While the idea of having fresh vegetables was appealing, I felt that store-bought options were su cient. en we got to August. It was time to
Will nuclear formally be put on the table?
State Sen. Larry Liston, a Republican from El Paso County, has carried a lonely torch during the last two legislative sessions. His bills that proposed to classify nuclear energy as “clean” in Colorado went exactly nowhere. is year’s nuclear bill has a di erent look. It has four prime sponsors, two of them Democrats. And it comes after warnings about rapidly escalating electrical demand for data centers.
WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

Everything changed in that moment. at tomato and the hundred or so that followed burst with avor, a tangy richness I had never experienced in any other vegetable. e avor lingered on my taste buds; an explosion I can still taste as I sit here writing. For the next two months we had cherry tomatoes with just about every meal, and I honestly never tired of them. e same rich taste was true of the zucchini, the summer squash, the jalapenos, the basil, and the rest of the crop. In re ection, I saw how right Beth had been and how amazing her vision for what was possible. I could nally see how the work had paid o , how it made a di erence — a delicious di erence. e “work” you are doing, whether to overcome a struggle or to lay plans for your future, is much harder than the work of creating that garden.

House Bill 25-1040 will get its rst committee hearing on ursday afternoon. It would allow nuclear energy to count toward Colorado’s clean energy goals of net-zero emissions by 2050.
Unlike Liston’s previous bills, it might even get approved. All ve Republicans in the House Energy and Environment Committee will likely support it. e committee chair, Alex Valdez, a Democrat and former solar developer, helped write the bill.
In public testimony, the other seven Democrats will likely be reminded that we have no long-term solution for safeguarding radioactive waste. ey will likely hear that nuclear plants remain extremely expensive. Georgia’s Vogtle nuclear plant was originally projected to cost $14 billion. It was completed in 2023 at a cost of $36 billion. Other nuclear projects have had similar cost overruns.
Some Coloradans also remember St. Vrain, the problem-plagued nuclear power plant south of Greeley. It operated from 1976 to 1989. Customers of Public Service Co. of Colorado, now a subsidiary of Xcel Energy, paid $1 a month from 1993 until 2016 to cover the $125 million cost of decommissioning the nuclear plant.
Legislators likely are hearing from Xcel’s lobbyists. It has two nuclear plants in Minnesota. e utility announced in October that it has models showing nuclear delivering 1,000 megawatts of electrical generating capacity within Colorado by 2035-37. at compares with the 750 megawatts of Comanche 3, the coal- red power plant in Pueblo that Xcel plans to retire before 2031.
A Pueblo task force created by Xcel and some local leaders in early 2024 reported that a nuclear power plant was the best replacement for the jobs and property taxes lost in the transition from coal. Craig, in northwest Colorado, has similarly been hunting for answers to replace jobs and tax base after the last coal plant closes in 2028. Cheerleaders for nuclear usually ignore the costs. All of the technologies that will get us beyond 85% to 90% renewables have the same problem. eir gambles are smaller, though. In Wyoming, Bill Gates has invested in a rst-of-kind small modular liquid-metal fast reactor. If successful, these smaller modular reactors would lower the nancial risks. e downside? Presumably, the tax base for Pueblo would potentially be far less.

Liston, a retired investment banker, told me he hopes for nuclear costs mirroring the declined cost of computing. at has a certain irony. e explosive growth of data centers being predicted provides a key argument for taking nuclear seriously. Xcel has told state regulators it projects need 1,923 megawatts of new generation — equivalent ot several coal- red plants — for large customers by 2031, with 70% of that coming from data centers. How real will this demand be? And who bears the risks of investment in new and still expensive technologies? I caught up with Dylan Roberts at a water conference. If adopted, the bill will “allow nuclear to be part of the conversation about Colorado’s energy future,” he said. “It doesn’t obligate the state nancially in any way. It doesn’t move anything forward as far as permitting or regulations. It would just say that if we get to a point where it becomes nancially viable and a private entity – along with local governments — buy in and they decide they want to pursue this, it would count toward Col-

A crucial di erence in this year’s bill — to be o ered as an amendment in the committee hearing on ursday — is a requirement that nuclear pay property taxes similar to coal and other energy producers.
Roberts pointed out that France gets 70% of its electricity from nuclear energy. “As far as I know, nobody is scared of going to France,” he said. “ ey have found a way to do it and do it safely and responsibly. I’m not saying it has to be part of Northwest Colorado’s energy portfolio or the state’s portfolio, but at least it can be part of the conversation if a bill like this passes.”
I’m not sure that “love is in the air,” as one columnist concluded. Less-expensive opportunities may arrive in enhanced geothermal, for example. What we do have is sober discussion about the hard work of getting to zero emissions by 2050 while satisfying increased energy demands. at will be harder than closing coal plants by 2030.

Friday mornings during ski season, a lot of kids in Clear Creek County will wake up before the sunrise to check equipment, snowboards, skis, helmet, goggles and gloves in preparation of hitting the slopes.
After they’re dressed and with a quick breakfast, they wait in Idaho Springs or Georgetown for the school bus to take them to Loveland Ski Area for a day of lessons or just fun with friends.
e program Snow Dodgers has been teaching local kids from kindergarten and up the con dence and skills to ride the mountains on skis or snowboards since 1963, according to board members.
“If they’re good enough, they can just be free-range skiers and do their thing all day,” rst-year Snow Dodgers volunteer Chelsea Dendegna said. “It sets them up with lessons if they need it and just supports them on their journey as skiers or snowboarders.”
Many of the students who started early in the program are now in the sixth grade and riding doubleblack diamond trails at Loveland.
“I’ve learned a lot by watching other people and my family teaching me things, so I’ve improved a lot,” Carlson Elementary sixth-grader Maddie Hinojos said.
A team of volunteers and board members keep Snow Dodgers going each year, piling equipment
into pickup trucks and checking names as kids get on the bus to perpetuate what generations before them had done.
“Everybody works hard to make things come together for a project like this. It’s just a nice community,” Hinojos said.
According to state records, Snow Dodgers is one of the longest-standing ski clubs in Colorado, and many locals can attest to parents and grandparents who learned to ski with its volunteers throughout the years.
Some of the organization’s mottoes on the website clarify goals and motivation: “Take Risks and Reap the Rewards,” “Be Prepared To Experience New Adventures” and “Overcome Your Fears and Master Your Skills.”
e organization’s long-standing relationship with Loveland Ski Area in Dillion is seen as mutually bene cial, according to Loryn Roberson, director of marketing for Loveland Ski Area.
“For Loveland, our community is everything and it’s so important to support these new skiers and riders and give them a space to not only learn but also to enjoy the slopes,” Roberson said.
Snow Dodgers typically runs from the second weekend in January to the second weekend in March.
“Having a program like this in place really allows
them to familiarize themselves with the sport and it really grows the next generation of skiers and riders which is incredibly important to Loveland,” Roberson said.
Ongoing education in ski industry
Opportunities for mountain youth to learn and excel in the sport of skiing and riding don’t end with Snow Dodgers.
High school and middle school programs in Clear Creek County o er hands-on experiences in the manufacture, maintenance and business of the ski industry.
“Creek Craft” is a new name in the ski and snowboarding industry, and Clear Creek County high school students, mentors and teachers aim to make it pro table.
Students in the Clear Creek High School Entrepreneur II class are taking their business education to the next level by creating a sustaining model for manufacturing and marketing, according to Career Connections coordinator Dacia Kelly.
“ e students in this class are learning how to start a business and they’re doing it through a real-world project rather than a hypothetical,” Kelly said.
MOUNTAIN KIDS
Meanwhile, outdoor rec and tech instructor Ben Shay at the high school and middle school in Evergreen gives students the hands-on experience of building a board or skis starting with plywood, laminate and an idea.
“It gives kids an outlet to do creative work with their hands and bring something to fruition. I like to tell the story, ‘Kids used to go home and give their mom a wooden spoon they made in wood shop.’ Now they get to show up with their own pair of skis or snowboard,” Shay said.
Several rec and tech students were eager to show o their one-of-a-kind creations they made just for themselves when the Courant visited the class in November. e art of creating a board or ski is dependent on the individual creating it; thick or thin tails and tips, shaping and tapering you create your custom ride with graphics you’ve designed, 11th-grade student Johannathan Scott said.
“It’s really a surreal kind of feeling when you get to make something that you’re going to use.., it’s just a really good feeling,” Scott added.
Another advantage to the rec and tech program is local students are learning the skills in high-demand at local ski areas and shops, according to both Shay and Roberson.
“It’s such a unique program. ese other communities and these other schools have things like woodshop and home economics; but for our community, the thing we all live and breathe is skiing. So, to be able to modify it and have this program that allows them to learn that skill set is invaluable,” Roberson said.
“ ey learn a lot of the woodworking skills here that they would in a wood shop, but then they get something that they actually get to strap on their feet, go to Snow Dodgers, ride the hill and say, ‘Look, I made this,’” Shay said.
The pinnacle of skiing skills: Alpine Rescue
Based in Evergreen, Alpine Rescue is an all-volunteer, mountain search-and-rescue team that’s been operating, free of charge, for more than 60 years.
Alpine Rescue is one of 13 Colorado teams accredited by the Mountain Rescue Association in technical rock rescue, wilderness search, avalanche rescue and winter technical rescue, according to its website.
“In the last few months we’ve had some pretty intense rescues and our pick of the rst to go in are usually pretty tough skiers and they have had to go miles in
sometimes very deep snow that is not easy to ski in. So, there’s a lot of physical endurance and strength,” Alpine Rescue volunteer and public information o cer Dawn Wilson said.
“To have kids learn how to ski and not just ski but be ‘mountain aware’ is idyllic. I’m jealous of those kids,” Wilson said.
Programs like Snow Dodgers instills early education and muscle memory in kids that are critical to working and playing in the mountains, according to Wilson.
“If those kids grow up and they want to give back to their community and volunteer for re or a mountain rescue team they’ve got that ingrained in their body and soul, they don’t even have to think about it,” Wilson said.

“(I) did not see one Golden policeman as I traveled from 44th Avenue very slowly to my home in south Golden,” Johnson wrote to City Council for its Feb. 11 meeting. “ … People were running red lights; pedestrians (were) crossing the street whenever.”
Others shared similar experiences on Visit Golden’s Facebook page.
“You need cops directing tra c and better parking options with signage,”
Kacey Shapiro wrote. “Don’t host events like this if you can’t handle the attendance.”
e city responded to the complaints in its Feb. 8 email, stating, “Our team is already evaluating ways to better manage event tra c in the future, knowing that while some circumstances are beyond our control, preparation and adaptability remain key.”
While the experience frustrated visitors and locals alike, many Goldens in Golden attendees said they loved the event and would be back next year.
“Yes, parking and tra c are a nightmare, but I don’t care,” Jessica Adams wrote. “It was totally worth it!”
Denise Denning Cardoza shared a similar sentiment, writing, “All those
golden (retriever) heads hanging out the car windows on the way home made the tra c bearable!”
At the Feb. 11 City Council meeting, Council member Patty Evans acknowledged all the sentiments around the event — the love, the frustration, the positive e ects on the businesses, the negative e ects on tra c and more.
“We need to do better next year,” she said.
Growing pains
Visit Golden spokesperson Joy Meadows, who started the event in 2019, said the event has gained national and international attention in recent years, and attendance may continue growing.
“ e word has de nitely gotten out due to all the worldwide publicity the event garners,” Meadows said in an email Feb. 11. “It’s been featured in People Magazine, CNN, Good Morning America. Visit Golden gets more publicity during this two-hour event than it gets all year long.”
Every year, Meadows said she and her colleagues meet people from all over the United States who bring their dogs to Golden just for the event. Based on a map organizers provided Feb. 8, the 2025 attendees hailed from every state except Rhode Island.
Meadows said they even met an attendee from the United Kingdom who planned her U.S. vacation around the
Goldens in Golden event.
Additionally, this year’s weather was partly cloudy but mild, which may have contributed to the larger crowds. Last year’s snowstorm may have motivated some 2024 attendees to leave early or deter them from traveling into downtown Golden at all, Meadows noted.
On Feb. 12, she con rmed Visit Golden representatives and City of Golden sta would be meeting over the next two weeks to discuss what changes should be made ahead of next year’s event.
While changes for next year haven’t been nalized, both residents and outof-town attendees o ered many of their own:
• Have o cers directing tra c at major intersections;
• O er more satellite parking with buses or shuttles;
• Spread out the event over a longer span of time, such as all-day Saturday or the whole weekend; and
• Have indicators at the garages to let motorists know they’re full.
Attendees also recommended addressing pedestrian tra c as well, as the trails, sidewalks and crosswalks were packed.
Meadows anticipated the 2026 event date wouldn’t be announced until after Visit Golden met with the city, so she encouraged interested people and pups to stay tuned.

House cats with bird flu could pose risk
Some pets died after drinking raw milk, midnight prowls
BY SARAH BODEN KFF HEALTH NEWS
More than 80 domestic cats, among many other types of mammals, have been con rmed to have had bird u since 2022 — generally barn cats that lived on dairy farms, as well as feral cats and pets that spend time outdoors and likely caught it by hunting diseased rodents or wild birds.
Now, a small but growing number of house cats have gotten sick from H5N1, the bird u strain driving the current U.S. outbreak, after eating raw food or drinking unpasteurized milk. Some of those cats died.
e strain of bird u currently circulating has not adapted to e ciently spread among people. And there have been no known cases of cat-to-human transmission during the current outbreak of H5N1.
Still, there’s always been the risk that cats, which are arguably only semi-domesticated, could bring home a disease from a midnight prowl.
“Companion animals, and especially cats, are 100% a public health risk in terms of the risk of zoonotic transmission to people,” said virologist Angela Rasmussen, who studies disease progression in emerging viruses at the University of Saskatchewan’s Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization. is is because we snuggle with and sleep in bed with our cats. When we’re not looking, cats drink from our water glasses and walk on kitchen counters. So, cat owners should be aware of the ongoing spread of bird u. “By reducing the risk to your cats, you reduce the risk to yourself,” Rasmussen said.
Rasmussen doesn’t think pet owners should be afraid their cats will give them bird u but said taking precautions is good for pets, and for public health.
Signs of bird u in cats include runny nose and discharge around the eyes, explained Michael Q. Bailey, presidentelect of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
H5N1 also causes neurological problems like dizziness and seizures, which are symptoms of rabies, too. Rabies is al-
most always fatal, and it poses a threat to human health, so any animal suspected of having the viral disease must be euthanized. Bailey encourages people to ensure pets are up-to-date on their vaccinations.
Veterinarian Jane Sykes, who specializes in infectious diseases in cats and dogs at the University of California-Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, said people should not assume it’s bird u if their cat is sick — even if their animal spends time outdoors or eats a raw diet. Upperrespiratory illnesses are common in cats, while H5N1 is “still pretty rare.”
Sykes gives her indoor cat, Freckles, regular kibble exclusively. She told NPR and KFF Health News she has no concerns about Freckles getting H5N1 because the heating process of making dry or canned pet food kills viruses.
More cases in cats, more risk to humans
Some people feed their pets raw meat or unpasteurized milk because they think it’s a more nutritious or natural diet. e American Veterinary Medical Association’s website discourages this due to foodborne pathogens like salmonella and listeria, and now the highly pathogenic H5N1.
State and local public health agencies, including those in Los Angeles County and Washington state, have issued similar warnings against raw food diets for pets.
Concerns for human health are partly why the FDA announced last month it is now requiring cat and dog food companies to update their safety plans to protect against bird u.
Veterinarians also warn pet owners not to allow cats unsupervised time outside as there’s the risk of them getting H5N1 by interacting with other animals that might carry the disease.
“ is is a very scary virus, given that it can infect so many di erent host species,” said Bruce Kornreich, director of Cornell University’s Feline Health Center.
At least one instance of a cat infecting a person with bird u occurred in 2016. As NPR reported, a veterinarian in New York City caught the virus after having close contact with infected cats. e vet experienced mild symptoms and quickly recovered.
ere isn’t a lot of research on transmission of bird u from companion ani-
mals like cats or dogs to humans, though Rasmussen agreed it’s de nitely a concern: e more infections you have in animals, “the more your luck is potentially going to run out.”
Most people who have caught H5N1 are agricultural workers who had direct contact with infected poultry or cattle. Of at least 67 con rmed human cases of H5N1 in the U.S., there’s been one fatality in an immunocompromised person who had contact with birds.
Chances for mutation
Part of the concern with this H5N1 outbreak is that bird u viruses change. Just a few mutations could make this strain adept at spreading between people. And the more people who catch H5N1, the more likely it would adapt to be more efcient, said Suresh Kuchipudi, a virologist at the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health, where he researches zoonotic diseases. Kuchipudi has studied H5N1 in cats.
Another concern is something called reassortment. If an animal or person is infected with two viruses at once, the viruses can trade genetic material, creating something new. is is common in in uenza, so virologists are on the lookout for a case in which the bird u reassorts to make a virus that’s far more contagious, and potentially more virulent.
Kuchipudi said that reassortments are relatively rare events, but the outcome is completely unpredictable. Sometimes the results are benign, though it was likely a reassortment that involved an avian virus that led to the 1918 u pandemic, which killed an estimated 50 million people. In the century since, virologists have established a global surveillance network to monitor in uenza viruses. Scientists say continued investment in this network is key to preparing for and hopefully preventing another pandemic.
Rasmussen and Kuchipudi caution there isn’t enough research to know for sure how much virus cats shed, or even how they shed the virus.
e Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was poised to release a new study about H5N1 in cats, but that was delayed when the Trump administration paused the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. at investigation, revealed through emails obtained by KFF Health News in a public records request, found that house cats likely got bird u
from dairy workers.
Scientists and public health agencies should question previously held assumptions about bird u, Kuchipudi urged. He noted that 20 years ago nobody would have predicted that bird u would infect dairy cattle the way it is now.
Dogs seem to fare better e FDA says other domesticated animals, including dogs, can get bird u infections. ere are no con rmed cases of H5N1 among dogs in the U.S., though in other countries they have died from the virus.
ere’s very little people can do about the H5N1 circulating in wild birds. As Rasmussen explained, “It’s ying around in the skies. It’s migrating north and south with the seasons.”
But she said there’s a lot people can do to keep the virus out of their homes. at includes limiting a pet’s exposure to H5N1 by not feeding them raw food or unpasteurized milk, and trying to keep them from interacting with animals like rodents and wild birds that could be infected with the virus.

Resignation plan moves ahead for federal workers
Je erson County has about 6,000 federal employees; AG’s next steps remain unclear
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
U.S. District Judge George O’Toole has reversed his earlier ruling to delay the deadline for President Donald Trump’s administration’s resignation o er, known as a “Fork in the Road,” after determining the unions who brought the lawsuit didn’t have legal standing to challenge the order.
e program is now closed. According to McLaurine Pinover, spokesperson for the O ce of Personnel Management, around 75,000 federal employees accepted the o er.
According to reporting by NPR, “Everett Kelley, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, one of the plainti s, called the decision a setback but not the end of the ght.” e judge didn’t rule on the legality of the program.
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser had joined a coalition of 21 state attorneys general in ling an amicus brief challenging the controversial directive issued by the U.S. O ce of Personnel Management.
e lawsuit argued that the directive violates federal ethics regulations and labor laws.
It’s unclear what, if anything, Weiser’s next step will be. Colorado Community
Media has reached out to the AG’s o ce since the judge’s ruling.
e initial directive issued on Jan. 28 gave federal employees until Feb. 6 to choose whether to accept a legally questionable “deferred resignation” or potentially face termination.
Employees who opted for resignation would continue to receive pay and bene ts through Sept. 30 without having to report to work. However, unions representing federal workers argue the plan is coercive, illegal and has caused widespread confusion.
“Approximately 40,000 federal employees live and work in Colorado, and they deliver important bene ts and services to the American people,” Weiser said in an earlier news release. “A change in the federal workforce must be planned according to the law and with public input. By joining this court brief, we’re sending the message that we stand with federal workers who are committed to public service.”
e amicus brief also argues that the plan has led to an “extreme information imbalance,” forcing employees to make signi cant career decisions under duress.
Weiser argued that the potential loss of federal employees is especially concerning for Colorado’s veterans. e Department of Veterans A airs, which already faces sta ng shortages, could see further strain on its ability to provide medical care and bene ts.
E ect on Lakewood e Denver Federal Center, home to more than 28 federal agencies, employs
thousands of workers whose roles range from managing public land to disaster response.
“Any impact on the federal employees who work at the Federal Center in Lakewood would also impact our economy and community. ere are about 6,000 federal employees who work in Je erson County,” Je erson County Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper said. “We are advocating for our county at the state and federal levels as well as monitoring the situation closely. We will continue to provide essential services and resources to our community.”
According to the Department of Veterans A airs O ce of Inspector General’s report, “Determination of Veterans Health Administration’s Severe Occupational Sta ng Shortages Fiscal Year 2024,” VA facilities nationwide reported nearly 3,000 severe occupational sta ng shortages in 2024, with medical o cers and nurses among the hardest-hit roles.
Social Security o ces could also be a ected, exacerbating existing service delays. e lawsuit noted that the Social Security Administration’s workforce was already at a 27-year low before the directive, raising concerns that further reductions would leave the most vulnerable populations struggling to access bene ts.
Legal and ethical challenges e directive has also raised alarms about the potential for politically motivated purges of the federal workforce. e amicus brief cites the history of civil service protections designed to prevent political interference in federal employment.
e brief argues that the directive undermines these principles by pressuring employees to resign under ambiguous terms.

Stitt era returns to Mines
Previous head coach ready to take Orediggers to championship
e Orediggers’ former coach is now their new coach, as Bob Stitt has returned as Colorado School of Mines’ head football coach.
Stitt led the team for 15 seasons starting in 2000 and compiled a 108-62 record with the Orediggers, including the team’s rst RMAC title in 46 years and its rstever postseason win.
He left after the 2014 season for an NCAA Division I coaching job. Overall, Stitt is 129-76 as a head coach.
Mines Athletics announced Stitt’s return Feb. 7, and he o cially started Feb. 11.
Stitt explained at a Feb. 11 press conference how he didn’t regret leaving Mines in 2014, saying his experiences in Division I helped him become a better coach, but he was thrilled to be back at Mines.
Stitt moved back to Golden about ve years ago, but was working outside of coaching and focusing on “being a husband and a dad,” he described.
However, over the last year, he returned to coaching at the high school level, serving as o ensive coordinator at Valor Christian High School during the 2024 season.
When Stitt heard Pete Sterbick had resigned as Mines’ head football coach on Jan. 21, he reached out to Director of Athletics David Hansburgto express his interest in rejoining Mines.
“I want to be back in that; that is my life,” he said of coaching. “ … ere’s nothing like helping a kid or winning a ballgame and seeing them smile. at’s truly why I got back in.”
Hansburg said, in his mind, Stitt was on “the short list” for the Mines football coaching job. After serious discussions about where the program is now versus when Stitt left in 2014, Hansburg said he was con dent Stitt was the right t for the modern-day program.
“I’m so excited to see what he will do at the new Colorado School of Mines,
with the new (Mines) football program,” Hansburg continued.
Before the spring football season kicks o next month, Stitt said he would be focused on getting to know the players, earning their trust, inspiring them and generally building on Mines’ unique football culture.
“Our No. 1 asset is our players,” Stitt said. “ … We (Orediggers) want to be really good next year, and that takes time now.”
The road (back) to Golden e Tecumseh, Nebraska, native received his bachelor’s degree at Doane and his master’s at Northern Colorado, and had position coaching jobs at both. Before joining Mines in 2000, he was the o ensive coordinator at Harvard.
In Golden, Stitt “put Mines on a path to success that it still enjoys today,” Mines Athletics described in a Feb. 7 press release.
Before 2000, the Orediggers only had one winning season in the previous two decades. Since 2007, they’ve had 17 consecutive winning seasons.
Stitt gained a national reputation as an o ensive innovator. During his time at Mines, his teams set virtually every program o ensive record, including many that still stand.
Stitt described how, when he rst coached at Mines, it didn’t have the quality of athletic facilities that it does now. He recalled taking players around campus, trying to nd rooms where they could meet for the day. Now, he said, the team has dedicated meeting rooms and top-quality training facilities and resources at Marv Kay Stadium.
Overall, Stitt led Mines to RMAC titles and NCAA postseason appearances in 2004, 2010 and 2014. He received numerous coaching accolades, and dozens of his players were recognized at the conference or national level, including 2004 Harlon Hill Trophy winner Chad Friehauf and 2010 nalist Clay Garcia, during his 15 seasons.
Stitt was inducted into the Mines Athletics Hall of Fame in 2021.
After the 2014 season, Stitt left Mines to become the head coach at Montana. He coached there three seasons, accu-
mulating a 21-14 overall record, and led the Grizzlies to a 2015 NCAA FCS tournament appearance.
He then was an o ensive analyst at Oklahoma State and the o ensive coordinator at Texas State before returning to Golden in the private sector.
Hansburg said Stitt was peripherally involved with Mines football, attending games as a fan and stopping by some alumni events. He’s also a Mines parent.
When Stitt rst coached Mines, Hansburg said Stitt felt like he had to do everything single-handedly. But now, Hansburg said, “there are a lot of people here who are all-in on Mines football,” starting with Stitt’s six assistant coaches.
A championship at last?
Another thing that’s changed since Stitt’s rst tenure, Hansburg said, is Mines’ chances of winning its rst national title.
Mines went to back-to-back NCAA Division II championship games in 2022
and 2023.
Stitt said, when he was here in 200014, he didn’t think Mines could compete with the best teams in the country. Now, he knows it can and wants to help it maintain its recent level of success and help the Orediggers achieve their longheld dream.
As Stitt summarized: He doesn’t need to rebuild the program, but simply keep it on the tracks.
e road to the 2025 title game starts with the upcoming spring football season, which typically kicks o in March.
While Mines Athletics hadn’t announced the dates as of Feb. 11, the spring season typically involves several weeks of practices and then a spring game, which is an intrasquad scrimmage. ese practices and the spring game will be open to the public.
e Orediggers kick o their 2025 season Sept. 4 at West Texas A&M. For additional information, visit MinesAthletics. com.
Catch this Conifer family on new survival TV show ‘Extracted’
BY JOHN RENFROW
How long could you watch your family struggle to survive in the wild before pulling the plug? What if there were $250,000 on the line?
at’s the premise of the new show “Extracted,” which premiered on Fox on Feb. 10 with new episodes being released weekly. Conifer resident Sarah omas will watch her husband, Ryan Willis, battle extremely grueling conditions, perilous terrain and the threat of predators in the Canadian wilderness. From the stressful safety of the family HQ, omas and other contestants’ relatives will watch with bated breath to determine if and when to remove their loved ones from the situation. Family alliances
can be formed to allocate which contestant or contestants get helpful supplies, and who is left to their own devices. e last remaining contestant in the wild will win a quarter of a million dollars.
“Someone from casting reached out to me, and kind of pitched the idea of the show,” omas said. “And so basically, all we knew was that we needed a family group of three, and one of us had to go into the wilderness, and then the other two would be left somewhere else to kind of facilitate supplies for the person in the wilderness. I pitched it to Ryan after I heard about it, and he was like, ‘Heck yeah, that sounds amazing.’ “
e Conifer family (one of 12 selected to be on the show) didn’t have to draw straws; Willis was thrilled to be the one taking on the elements.
Growing up outdoorsy in Colorado, Willis took to the competition with a hungry excitement to test himself and his limits. He explained how he’d always loved survival shows like “Alone” or “Survivorman,” but admitted he didn’t carry any polished survival skills himself.
“Yeah, sweet. I’ll go into the woods,” Willis said on his reaction when omas pitched it to him. “I went out one night and camped without anything to prepare for it. But other than that, no (other training) other than just general camping, you know, in Colorado, stu like that. But the point they wanted was that we didn’t actually know how to do anything.”
omas said despite the contestants having a varying array of skills, it was still a group of 12 amateur survivalists. Some had never slept a day outside before, while
others, like Willis, grew up recreationally roughing it in the Rocky Mountains. But things got real pretty quickly when Willis was picked up in a helicopter, only allowed to bring the clothes on his back; a T-shirt, light hoodie, hat, socks and boots. He was given a canteen with 12 ounces of water and some camera equipment. at was it … until the rst supply drop hit. at’s where omas, and Willis’ brother, Sean, came in.
“We kind of expected that in the rst day to be able to do a supply drop, but he literally went over 24 hours without any tools, any extra water, nothing for over a day,” omas said. “He was not fazed. He was just hanging out, building a shelter,

PLAYGROUND
Shelton is planning to host a community build day with the new playground in late May or early June, PTSA members said. Volunteers of varying expertise will be welcome to join.
en, the school will have an o cial ribbon-cutting in the fall after classes resume, possibly as part of a larger 30th anniversary party.
Fun, safe, accessible
Shelton students were thrilled to hear they’d have a new playground next school year.
ird-grader Ande Miller described how the current playground’s climbing features can get boring, adding, “We need a slide.”
Fellow third-grader Sager Sager said the rocks from the playground surface get in students’ shoes and slow the students down when they’re running.
ey and third-grader Juniper Assis Finlayson were looking forward to a playground with a rubber surface and more play options, like a seesaw and wheelchair-accessible swings.
e third-graders and Kim Walter, digital teacher librarian, also said it’s hard for students or sta members who use wheelchairs, crutches or boots to use or even reach the playground. ere are no ADA-accessible features and the ADA-accessible ramp requires users to go all the way around the school perimeter.
Additionally, students who have concussions don’t have a lot of play options either, Sager said.
Chain and Hawkins described how the ideal playground includes six types of features: balancing, spinning, sliding, climbing, swinging and brachiating.
“All those elements engage various aspects of a growing brain and a growing body,” Hawkins said.
Along with those types of features, the new playground surface will be made of rubber for improved convenience, safety and ADA-accessibility.
Many features will be accessible to those with mobility challenges, Chain and Hawkins explained, including a wheelchair-accessible swing.
Additionally, they said, several features will be inclusive for children who are neurodiverse and/or have sensory needs, like music features and communication boards with letters and symbols.
e PTSA members and third-graders emphasized that, when school is not in session, Shelton’s playground is open to anyone.
“Everyone can come down and play on it,” Ande said.
Shelton Elementary School is planning to install a new playground this summer, which will look similar to this concept art. The new playground will have a variety of features for all users, including those who have mobility issues and sensory issues.
Learning to persuade
As part of their curriculum, the thirdgraders have been researching the project further and drafting persuasive letters to local businesses and organizations. Juniper was writing to Petco; Sager, to King Soopers; and Ande, to the Movement Golden climbing gym.
e third-graders have been working on this project since they got back from winter break. ey interviewed fellow students about what they wanted in a new playground, along with representatives from the school’s PTSA, the playground company and the city’s parks department.
e students plan to mail their handwritten letters around Feb. 17.
Walter, who’s been helping the thirdgrade classes with this project, said students typically learn better when they can connect what they’re learning in school with a real-world situation. In this case, she said, they were learning how to solve a problem in their own school community by asking, “How can I make a di erence?”
Plus, Walter added, the students are more motivated and do better quality work when they’re invested in the outcome.
Juniper and Sager described how part of their project involved learning to research and interview people. For instance, Juniper had to interview Shelton rst-graders about what features they wanted in their new playground.
Juniper and Ande described how they learned to structure a persuasive letter, listing at least three clear reasons why the recipient should support the project. Juniper said the key to “encouraging them to help is by making them feel what you feel.”
Overall, the three third-graders said they had fun and learned a lot, and they were excited to see how both the letter-writing project and the new playground turned out.
“It was a good project,” Sager added. For additional information, including on how to donate, visit sheltonptsa.org.
EXTRACTED
you know, piling sticks and stu . He was getting ready for the supply drop, but he had a good attitude about it.”
Willis took it in stride, but at the HQ, omas said she was starting to worry. “We had no idea what to expect from the HQ experience, and so it was super stressful to sit there that whole rst day and just watch and not be able to do a single thing to help him,” she said. “He would come on camera and be like, ‘Yep, I could really use a re,’ or ‘It’d be really nice to have some tools.’ And we were just kind of stuck without being
able to do anything for so long … . Ryan was having the best time of his life, and we were stressed in HQ, wondering when we were going to be able to help him.”
omas said the rst few days were tame, but tensions ared as families had to decide who got what supplies. “ ere was just that stress of, did you pick correct, or are people going to be mad at us because we got Ryan this amazing supply box, and other people didn’t do as good under pressure and didn’t get as many supplies as we were able to send to Ryan,” omas said.
Catch “Extracted” weekly on Fox and streaming on Hulu to watch Willis battle the elements as his family cheers him on and helps straighten his course.
