Saturday morning customers

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN

Lakewood’s Vern and Sue Scott have been to a lot of farmers markets across the Denver area, but the Golden Farmers Market is “the best one around,” they said.

e market kicked o earlier this month and runs every Saturday from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. until Oct. 5.

e market, which is organized by the Golden Chamber of Commerce, will be at its usual spot at 10th and Illinois streets every Saturday except July 27 — the Saturday of Buffalo Bill Days.

With the city’s new downtown parking system, Executive Director Nola Krajewski said market visitors’ biggest questions have been about parking.

Apart from handicap-accessible spots, Krajewski said market visitors should “plan to park farther out” than they might have in previous years. She recommended Goldenites take shuttles or ride their bikes downtown on Saturdays.

In addition to the city’s Ore Cart, the market is running a private shuttle about every 15 minutes from 9 a.m.-noon from the CoorsTek parking lot at 10th and Jackson streets. is will be a pilot through June, but might be extended through the rest of the summer, she said.

Otherwise, Krajewski continued, customers will nd their usual favorites alongside some new vendors this year, including a variety of produce-sellers, artists, small businesses, food trucks and more. Some will vary from weekend to weekend, while others will be around all season.

As they were shopping at the June 8 event, the Scotts said they have been frequenting the Golden Farmers Market for four years. ey enjoy making a morning of it, by stopping into the nearby library before heading to the market and then lunch at a nearby restaurant. ey said the “people are so friendly, and the produce is so awesome,” speci cally praising Miller Farms’ potatoes. Of all the farmers

markets they’ve been around Denver, they said Golden’s has “the best selection.”

Meanwhile, Lisa and Jim Huebner were visiting from Wisconsin.

After starting their weekend with a show at Red Rocks, they decided to spend their Saturday morning biking along Clear Creek and checking out the market. Lisa said she picked up some lotion, and the two saw a few other things they would’ve liked if had more room in their suitcases.

While the farmers markets they’ve been to in Wisconsin are more produce-heavy, the Huebners noted how Golden’s featured more businesses.

Overall, they said the event seemed like a great way for both locals and visitors to support small businesses and enjoy a great day along Clear Creek. Golden is a cool town, they continued, and the market was just one example of that.

The dog days of summer

Ellen Hawkins, who lives in northern unincorporated Golden, said her family’s been frequenting the market for eight or nine years now. ey’ve bought everything from clothing and food to owers and pottery at the Golden Farmers Mar-

ket. Hawkins said she appreciated the variety of local products available, especially the bread and produce.

Another favorite part of the experience, she added, is seeing everyone’s dogs. Unlike some farmers markets elsewhere, Golden’s allows well-behaved leashed dogs.

Hawkins and her daughter brought their 5-month-old puppy Trout on June 8, and they enjoyed stopping by on June 8 to grab breakfast at one of the food trucks and sit by the creek.

Like the Scotts, Hawkins said her family tends to make a day of visiting the market and spending time downtown.

“Everything is walkable with shady spots to rest,” Hawkins continued. “It’s part of a much larger

experience along the creek. Everyone’s so friendly and upbeat.”

Lindsay Jeans and Isabel Roy, who will be sophomores at Colorado School of Mines this August, also stopped by after having fun at the market their freshman year. ey often visited after soccer practice to buy everything from owers and fruit to kombucha and jewelry, and then hang out along Clear Creek.

Jeans and Roy also said they enjoyed seeing everyone’s dogs at the market, and that it was overall a great way to support small businesses and try new products. ey added that it was “a fun way to get outside on a Saturday.” For more information on the Golden Farmers Market, including vendors and

Readers Haven’t Come Up With Solutions to the Home Insurance Crisis, Just

My May 16 column, “A Full-Blown Home Insurance Crisis Is Brewing,” invited readers to share their personal experiences and also any suggestions they might have for solving the crisis, which is getting worse by the day.

There has been some good national coverage of the subject in the press and on television news programs. The bottom line is that even places like Colorado which don’t experience as many disasters as the two coasts and the Midwest are subject to increases in insurance premiums due to industry payouts elsewhere.

A May 13, 2024, article in the New York Times detailed the increasing losses by insurers in all 50 states. That included Colorado, where insurers have lost money is all but three years since 2013. The article quoted Dave Jones of the Climate Risk Initiative at UC Berkeley as saying, “I believe we’re marching toward an uninsurable future.” I have posted a link to that Times article on our blog, at http:// RealEstateToday.substack.com.

There’s a local problem which we’ve seen here in Golden, where our two main ZIP codes (80401 and 80403) cover more foothills areas than they do nonfoothills areas. Those two ZIP codes encompass 184 square miles — bigger than the 64 Zip codes in Denver, including the airport’s 54 square miles!

Rules for Buyer Agent Agreements Badly Flawed

Last week the National Association of Realtors (NAR) fleshed out the rules it will enforce regarding the written agreement which a buyer and agent must sign before a buyer can be shown a listing.

On the one hand, NAR says it’s important for the buyer agreement to stress that agent commissions are negotiable, but on the other hand it says that the agreement signed by buyer and agent must spell out a fee/commission that cannot be increased by any source.

In other words, I’m required to have a buyer sign an agreement that they will pay me an acceptable ultimate fee for my efforts on their behalf. But if I agree, say, to a 1% or 2% commission agreement and I help them buy a house from a seller will-

Similarly, if you don’t have a loan on your automobile, you can choose not to have collision, comprehensive or theft insurance on your car, and I’m among those who are doing so because of the high cost of those coverages. An article on Forbes.com last week reported that 25% of car owners don’t have collision insurance.

HOAs are being hit especially hard when it comes to master policies. Reader KC Harney wrote me about an HOA in Parker which, following a May 2023 hail claim, raised the premium from $178,000 per year with a $2 million deductible to $337,000 per year with a $4 million deductible. This resulted in a special assessment of $12,000 per HOA member. It should be noted, KC told me, that the May 2023 event cost only $1.9 million to repair, which was less than the $2 million deductible, so the insurance company paid out nothing, yet they raised the premium and the deductible because there was a claim!

Broker associate Chuck Brown told me how insurance costs nearly killed a transaction of his in Evergreen. The buyer was turned down by just about every major insurance carrier before obtaining a policy from Farmers Insurance for $9,000 per year with a $35,000 deductible for fire and hail. The next lowest offer was a $19,000 premium from Highlight.

Last May, Governor Polis signed into law HB23-1288, the Fair Access to Insurance Requirements Plan, commonly known as the FAIR Plan. The 9member board of the Plan is still setting up shop and its vendor won’t issue insurance policies until early 2025. In essence, the FAIR Plan is an insurer of last resort for homeowners and businesses who cannot get coverage from any insurer operating in Colorado.

Every insurer in Colorado must participate in the Plan. The concept is that all Colorado insurance carriers share the expenses, income and losses, ensuring a fair distribution of costs.

The policies issued under the FAIR Plan are not subsidized. The premiums are required to be “actuarially sound.” Coverage is limited to $750,000 for homes and $1 million for businesses, which will result in under-insurance for many clients, so it’s not a perfect fix and doesn’t promise lower insurance rates. It only guarantees that homeowners and businesses will be able to obtain insurance if three firms have denied coverage. I’m troubled by the Plan’s requirement that a homeowner or business be unable to obtain insurance. The homeowners and HOA mentioned above were not denied insurance, just overcharged, meaning they wouldn’t be eligible.

ing to pay me a much higher co-op commission (because they want their home to sell quickly), I can only accept from the seller the amount in my buyer agreement.

This is madness! What it will do is drive buyers to work only with listing agents, which is not good public policy. Every buyer deserves to have an agent working on his or her behalf.

What’s also being overlooked throughout this months-long discussion of the NAR settlement is that most buyers are hard pressed to come up with their down payment, so how can you expect them to pay thousands in additional dollars for professional representation? They will not get the representation they deserve by working only with the agents representing sellers.

That is why the old system of sellers paying a commission which the listing agent can share with a buyer’s agent is the only and best way of serving both buyers and sellers — but that ship has sailed, unfortunately. It will be interesting to see the chaos resulting from these new rules.

This bi-level home at 11296 W. Kentucky Drive has been well maintained by the seller. It was painted and walkways replaced in 2006, and a new roof & siding were installed in 2017. The garage door was new in 2009. The seller put in a new, energy efficient furnace in 2014 and new acrylic shower & shower doors in 2007. The backyard is mostly flat and completely fenced. There are lilacs on two sides of the house, and an ornamental plum and two purple ash trees are in the backyard. (See photo.) Briarwood Hills is a very quiet, friendly neighborhood. Most of the surrounding homeowners care about their yards, as does this seller. View a narrated video walk-through online at www.

As water levels rise, rescuers caution Clear Creek users

Golden a hotspot for swiftwater rescue training

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s fortunate dozens of emergency workers have been visiting Golden’s section of Clear Creek for swiftwater rescue training in recent weeks, because there have already been a few close calls and people who needed additional help getting out of the fast-moving water, according to Lt. Joe Bechina of the Golden Fire Department.

“ e busy season is here,” Bechina said.

On June 5, the Je erson County Sheri ’s O ce and the City of Golden implemented red ag restrictions, closing Clear Creek to swimming and tubing.

Under red ag restrictions, only kayaks, whitewater canoes, multichambered professionally guided raft and riverboards may operate in the creek. Users should wear life jackets and helmets at all times, and proceed with extreme caution.

ese restrictions extend from the western edge of Je erson County through Golden city limits, including Vanover Park, according to a June 5 Sheri ’s O ce press release.

Bechina said water levels will continue to rise in the coming days, and will likely peak in mid-June. Yearround, the creek ranges from 3001,600 cubic feet per second, with June seeing the highest volumes.

At peak ows, water in Clear Creek can reach about 15 mph. While that doesn’t seem fast compared to a car, rescuers have stressed that it’s much faster than people can swim. Plus, water temperatures are so low, people without proper gear can become hypothermic very quickly.

For those planning to recreate in Clear Creek this summer, Bechina stressed that the No. 1 way to stay safe is to wear a life jacket and helmet.

“When people visit the creek without a life jacket, that’s when they get themselves into trouble,” Bechina said, adding that the bulk of GFD’s water rescue calls involve people who aren’t wearing life jackets.

“ e river is powerful,” he continued. “It’ll win every time.”

Bechina described how, even later in the summer, people shouldn’t be careless as lower water levels leave rocks, tree branches and other debris exposed.

He also stressed that people shouldn’t litter along the creek, particularly by discarding their innertubes or oaties. He said, if rescuers see an unattended tube, it can be hard to tell whether the user has simply discarded it or is in danger.

Bechina and other swiftwater rescuers recommended Clear Creek users check the ag warning system beforehand and obey any restrictions that are in place that day.

“Don’t mix alcohol and water,” said Justin Sparks, a battalion chief from the Wayne Township Fire Department.

Fire ghter Michael Behrman from Fort Carson’s re department encouraged people to ask for help if they feel a situation getting away from them, and to stay out of fastmoving water — whether that be Clear Creek or ash oods.

“Even the best swimmers have drowned before,” he said.

A fast-moving training ground Sparks, Behrman and 15 other emergency responders were in

WATER LEVELS

On June 4, while some of the DRI Swiftwater Rescue II trainees were from Colorado, others were from the Kansas City area, Michigan and other states. Many were training for ash oods and other high-water situations that can’t be easily replicated in their jurisdictions.

“For us, the fast water is the emergency,” Wayne Township re ghter Katie Heishman said.

Bechina explained how DRI hosts three sets of classes along Clear Creek — Swiftwater Rescue I and II, and an instructor course. Depending on the class, trainees learn everything from self-rescuing and contact rescues to how to conduct rescues from boats and/or with ropes.

Behrman said he hadn’t trained for swiftwater rescues before, but signed up with DRI because he wanted to

expand his skillset and be able to respond to Fort Carson’s ash oods.

“I wanted to be better prepared for those calls,” he said.

Heishman had completed a version of swiftwater rescue training in Indiana, but she said it was very di erent from the DRI course along Clear Creek.

She and Sparks appreciated the opportunity to “to train in the best water in the world.” ey thanked the community “for being so open and welcoming,” saying they’ve enjoyed their time training in Clear Creek, visiting Golden, and networking with other rescuers.

Heishman said Clear Creek had been “a blast to train in,” but added that she now has a new appreciation for wearing life jackets in fast-moving water.

She and Sparks hoped creek users would stay safe this summer by keeping an eye on the water conditions, the ag warning system, and wearing life jackets and helmets.

A prehistoric summer camp

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dinosaur Ridge is using children’s love of dinosaurs as a springboard to a summer full of learning about science. e national natural landmark site, which is located between Morrison, Golden and Lakewood, is hosting 10 weeks of summer camps for 5- to 13-year-olds. e camps, which run Mondays through Fridays, teach participants about local fossils, dinosaur tracksites, geological features, Colorado’s prehistoric days, and related topics.

On June 7, the Stegosaurus group comprised of 5- to 10-year-old campers closed out their week with a visit to Golden’s Triceratops Trail. ere, they examined the dinosaur tracks found in the area and discussed how they were preserved for millions of years.

Jax McGuire, 7, enjoyed seeing different types of dinosaur tracks at Dinosaur Ridge and Triceratops Trail over the week, saying there was more variety of dinosaurs than he’d expected.

Jax, who’s from Castle Rock, also participated in the summer camp last year. He said he really enjoyed it both years, adding, “It’s just fun for everyone.”

Amanda Rea, summer camp director for Dinosaur Ridge, said the registration period opens in January, and it always lls up fast. e summer camps are well-attended by people from all over Colorado. Occasionally, Dinosaur Ridge has some out-of-state and international families sign up for summer camp while vacationing in Colorado, she explained.

Dinosaur Ridge also hosts camps throughout the year, including winter and spring breaks. Rea said their shared goal is to foster children’s love of science by rst fostering their love of dinosaurs.

“Dinosaurs are the gateway science,” Rea continued.

All the camp participants are very smart and excited to learn, she described, saying she’s enjoyed watching all of them express their love for dinosaurs and science in general.

Lakewood’s Preston Deis, 10, said he’s participated in Dinosaur Ridge’s summer camps two or three years now. He loves the variety of activities, saying he and his campmates have done everything from dissect owl pellets and to visit the creek. is year, he said his favorite part of

camp was simply spending time with his friends and meeting new campers.

Preston and Jax, whose favorite dinosaurs were the Carnotaurus and Utahraptor, respectively, said they’d learned a lot about the great creatures that once roamed Colorado, as well as how Colorado’s geology came to be what it is today.

Dorian Gurksy, a camp leader for the Stegosaurus group, said that’s exactly what he was hoping for.

Gurksy, a Colorado School of Mines graduate who’s returning for a doctoral degree in sedimentology, hoped the campers and locals in general would take advantage of all the amazing geological and paleontological resources around Denver.

As amazing as Colorado’s mountains are, he hoped people would be just as excited to visit sites like Dinosaur Ridge and the Triceratops Trail, which aren’t as common in some other states.

“You can see these snapshots of history, and it’s a 10-minute drive away,” he said, “ … It’s so accessible.”

As of June 7, Dinosaur Ridge still had a few summer camp spots available for 7- to 11-year-olds. For more information, visit dinoridge.org.

Goldenite Corner: Mines athletic trainer joins fellow cancer survivors to raise awareness

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

2023 was a rollercoaster year for Meghan Powell.

She was promoted as head athletic trainer at Colorado School of Mines, and she was diagnosed with endometrial cancer.

Knowing she couldn’t ght her battle alone, Powell surrounded herself with fellow survivors, family members, friends and other supporters as she went through surgery and the recovery process.

On June 8, she did so again at the 15th annual Jodi’s Race for Awareness, assembling a group of 30-40 family members, friends, Mines student-athletes and their families for the 5K fundraiser.

e annual event at Denver’s City Park, which draws about 1,500 attendees each year, raises awareness for gynecologic cancers. It also raises funds for the Colorado Gynecologic Cancer Alliance, which provides emotional and nancial support for cancer patients and survivors like Powell.

According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 34,000 people died from gynecologic cancers in 2023, and 115,000 new cases were diagnosed.

Powell said the CGCA resources like a post-surgery comfort kit and weekly group therapy sessions have

After her diagnosis, Powell had a complete hysterectomy. She didn’t have to undergo any chemotherapy or radiation but has been completing six-month checkups after her surgery.

About four months post-surgery, she participated in Jodi’s Race for the rst time, assembling a group called Meghan’s Pimpin Joy Squad. She invited several of the studentathletes she works with on the Mines women’s soccer, wrestling and softball teams to join as well.

Soccer player Reese McDermott, who participated in Jodi’s Race virtually last year with a few of her teammates, said she was happy to support Powell after all the support she’s given McDermott, her teammates and other Mines studentathletes.

Golden Moon Distillery is closing its doors permanently, the company recently announced.

e distillery at 412 Violet St. was listed for sale in December. However, ownership announced on the distillery’s Facebook page May 28 that a potential deal recently fell through, forcing co-founders Stephen Gould and Karen Knight to close.

Je co foster dads speak on the importance of LGBTQ+ foster homes

BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Chad Harbertson and Kayunte Berry are Je co foster dads recently honored by the state of Colorado for their work in the foster care system. In an interview with the Je co Transcript, Harbertson and Berry discussed the importance of their work, including providing a safe space for foster kids who identify as LGBTQ+.

According to the “Trevor Project Research Brief: LGBTQ Youth with a History of foster care,” a safe space is needed in order to prevent youth suicide among LGBTQ+ foster kids.

“LGBTQ youth who reported having been in foster care had three times greater odds of reporting a past-year suicide attempt compared to those who had not,” stated the research brief.

e Trevor Project Research Brief, completed in 2021, found that “victimization and rejection from caregivers,” were sources of the increased suicide attempt risk according to the brief.

Berry believes that LGBTQ+ foster parents are needed to provide a safe space for LGBTQ+ youth.

“ ere are kids that are going to feel safer in an environment like ours, a space that maybe not everyone else can provide,” Berry said.

Both Berry and Harbertson acknowledged the “stigma” of fostering, for queer foster parents, is more exaggerated on social media than he

has experienced in real life.

“I’d still recommend they give it a shot because, it’s not apparent, as much as it seems,” Berry said. He

credited the support of the social workers and others for welcoming him into the foster parenting community.

ferent levels of expectations.”

In addition, Harbertson explained that one’s life experience may be needed in fostering. Even a variety of nontraditional life experiences.

Berry and Harbertson urge other members of the LGBTQ+ community to foster. ey can do so without partners, as Harbertson did. He was a single foster parent for over six years before meeting Berry.

Alone, Harbertson has cared for 49 kids and teens. e placements ranged from a few days to several months. He wants people to know that perfection isn’t needed to foster.

“I feel like there’s that idea that you need to be a perfect parent, or give these kids a perfect home,” Harbertson said. “Remember that these kids have come from such imperfect homes, they are put with you during that transition into something so di erent. ey come with very dif-

“ ose of us who have maybe had some rough spots in life and hard times have great ways to connect with these kids who have been through those tough times too,” Harbertson said. “So, there’s opportunities for everybody to t in. But I think if somebody was feeling like, ‘maybe I’ve made mistakes, or I’ve done this or that and things have been hard for me, those are the things that help most with the kids.”

e foster dads urge everyone interested to join an information session or sign up to volunteer with the Colorado Department of Human Services.

McDermott described Powell as a super-caring and upbeat person, and McDermott was happy to join Meghan’s Pimpin Joy Squad in person for this year’s race.

“I thought it was a really cool opportunity to go out and support everyone who’s had gynecologic cancer,” McDermott said. “To support Meghan and support a cause that she now holds near and dear to her heart as a survivor.”

Powell said she was “almost overwhelmed” by how many people participated in Jodi’s Race last year, as it was her rst time attending. She described how it was a great way to connect with other survivors and see so many people supporting a shared cause.

‘Life is unpredictable’ is year, Meghan’s Pimpin Joy Squad raised about $2,000 for CGCA. But, just as importantly, Powell said she wanted to raise awareness among the Mines and Golden communities, saying people should pay attention to their bodies and seek help if they feel something is wrong.

Powell described how she and her doctors were able to catch her cancer diagnosis early because she noticed her menstrual cycle was o , and her doctors listened to her concerns. She emphasized how important it is to nd a team of medical professionals who will listen and understand those types of concerns rather than dismiss or overlook them.

McDermott, who’s known Powell for almost four years, was grateful for all of her guidance as an athletic trainer and friend. Knowing when to push through pain versus taking

“It was just this phenomenal experience of overwhelming love and support,” she said. “It was almost indescribable.”

a step back is something everyone should learn, especially athletes, she continued.

“I think she follows through with what she says and what she teaches us,” McDermott said of Powell. “It’s a lot more encouraging and reassuring that she takes the advice that she gives us and applies it to her life as well.”

McDermott added how she was so proud of her friend for her resilience as a cancer survivor, describing how many “lemons” life threw Powell’s way in 2023.

Powell was grateful for her loved ones’ continued support, saying she would continue to run the literal and proverbial race.

“Life is unpredictable,” she said. “You have to run the race and take the punches — the good and the bad. Because you never know what’s around the corner.”

Scandinavian Midsummer Festival: An abundance of Vikings

If you are a regular reader of this column, you might remember that every year, I mention the Norse God Ullr. He’s usually associated with snow and skiing around here, but in Golden we have an annual winter festival dedicated to him. at’s the one where the Vikings show up even in sub-zero weather. But, much like Nebraska, heading to an outdoor festival in the middle of winter, well… it’s not for everyone.

But, there is another outdoor festival here in Golden that has an abundance of Vikings in June, when it’s a little bit more “user friendly” as far as the weather goes. And this one is about a whole lot more than just Ullr. It’s the Scandinavian Midsummer Festival that’s going to be happening this weekend, Friday through Sunday, June 14-16 in Parfet Park on the corner of 10th Street and Washington Avenue. Yes, it’s in the same place as the other one, but you can comfortably wear shorts and sandals to this festival.

So, what is it? Basically, it’s a Scandinavian market with plenty of food, various groups performing, a beer garden and other activities including an evening drum circle with singing

around the campre. I’m sure everyone has a vague idea of where Scandinavia is, up in the northern part of Europe, but to be more speci c, this festival celebrates the cultures of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Sweden and Norway.

Admission to the Scandinavian Midsummer Festival is free and for the rst time, they’re fencing o the entire park this year. at way, you can carry your alcoholic beverage around with you at the festival. But, make sure the drinks stay inside the fence, as there will be hired security at the four entrances/exits to keep things secure. An I.D. check and bracelets will be given out at the drink ticket booth. ere will be over 80 artisans, organizations and performers there share their Scandinavian heritage through food, crafts, performances and cultural activities. You will nd plenty of vendor booths, food trucks, a performance stage and dance oor, craft demonstrations

When spring gives way to sunny summer days, many of us look forward to attending – or hosting – barbecues and picnics with family and friends.

During this time, it’s important to take precautions when it comes to safe food handling, preparation and cooking, to avoid foodborne illnesses like salmonella and E. coli, which can be serious and, in some cases, life-threatening.

e Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that each year, 48 million Americans get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from foodborne diseases.

Typical food-poisoning symptoms include vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhea and fever, all of which may range from mild to serious and can last from a few hours to several days. Health care professionals caution that certain people have an increased risk of becoming very sick from foodborne illness, including pregnant women, older adults, young children and people with weakened immune systems.

To stay healthy and protect friends and family from food poisoning, here are some general food and kitchen hygiene tips to guide you in safely preparing and serving your outdoor summer meals.

Foodborne illnesses tend to in-

and a few unique things that just don’t show up at other festivals. Like the Fjellborg Vikings, a Kids Viking Adventure with Leif and a dedicated Viking axe throwing area. Did I mention there might be some Vikings there?

Friday’s schedule runs from 4-9 p.m. and attendees can preview the vendors, have some drinks and enjoy music as the festival builds. It’s a great place to make a few new friends around the camp re in the evening.

On Saturday, the gates will be open from 9:30 a.m.-9 p.m. and the day features Scandinavian festivities such as the raising of and dancing around the Midsummer Pole, the Scandinavian Market, the Fjellborg Vikings in their living history encampment, craft demonstrations, storytelling and games with Leif the Viking, making crafts such as ower crowns and painting a Scandinavian ornament. Oh, and don’t forget there’s a drum circle and bon re in the evening.

Sunday, the festivities continue on from 10 a.m.-6 p.m.

crease during the summer months because bacteria multiply faster when it’s warm, so following food safety guidelines is especially critical for raw meats, summer salads, dairy products, fruits and vegetables, which are among the most perishable foods at cookouts.

Clean everything: It’s important for those preparing and handling food to frequently wash their hands before, during and after they start cooking, and to use fresh, clean plates and utensils for serving cooked food.

Do not cross contaminate: Raw meat, poultry, seafood and eggs can spread germs to ready-to-eat food unless you keep them separate.

Here’s another bonus… e festival is dog-friendly! But, remember that dogs must be kept on a leash at all times, OK? Bring a little water bowl too.

Butterfly Pavilion celebrates pollinators

Butter ies and bees are some of the best features of summer — seeing them y through yards and parks is a reminder of the simple beauty present in nature. But these insects are also pollinators and play a crucial role in the ecosystem.

June is National Pollinator Month and it is only tting that Westminster’s Butter y Pavilion is going all out to celebrate these critical species. e pavilion has been hosting a range of events all month long, culminating in the second annual Pollinator Palooza Festival.

COMING ATTRACTIONS

“We believe it is our responsibility to share information about the importance of pollinators and why people should care and want to protect and conserve them. And we open the doors for people to do just that,” wrote Heather Brown, director of Membership and Guest Services, in an email interview. “What better way to do that than our annual Pollinator Palooza Festival, where you can have fun while learning more about the importance of pollinators and how you can get involved.”

Special Pollinator Month events are going on through June at the pavilion, 6252 W. 104th Ave. and Pollinator Palooza is from noon to 8 p.m. on Saturday, June 29.

e Palooza is a blend of outdoor and indoor events, featuring animal interactions, butter y releases, a pollinator market, live music and performances (including by local dance groups), garden tours, food trucks and beer garden, and more.

“Visitors will have the chance to participate in one of many pollinator-themed craft workshops and enjoy fabulous cultural performances,” Brown wrote. “ ey will also be able to learn about Butter y Pavilion’s conservation projects and talk to the experts.”

Creating respect and appreciation for all pollinator species is the major reason behind all activities the pavilion is hosting in June and for very good reason.

“Pollinators are in decline, yet are critical for our ecosystems and agriculture,” Brown wrote. “In fact, pol-

Clarke

linators are responsible for one out of every three bites of food we eat. So, we want to spread the news that they need our support.”

Reader nationally

e Butter y Pavilion has long been a leader in pollinator conservation, working locally, nationally and globally to seek and implement solutions for their success, according to provided information. From research, habitat restoration and working on sustainable landscapes, the pavilion is continually looking at new ways to protect the critical invertebrate species that keep our planet thriving.

“I hope people who visit in June have fun and learn more about the importance of pollinators and Butter y Pavilion’s global e orts to conserve and protect them,” Brown wrote. “More importantly, I hope people learn that everyone can get involved in the mission to help these vital creatures.”

Locomotives that built Colorado mining towns continue to steam after 150 years

BY CHRIS KOEBERL CKOEBERL@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Inside the mechanic shop of the Colorado Railroad Museum, the air is thick with smoke and the smell of burning wood and diesel fuel as locomotive #20 prepares to re up its steam engine to burn coal as it rst did in 1899.

e #20 was named “Portland‘’ after a pro table mine in the Cripple Creek District and was built to haul passengers and freight. It was sold to Rio Grande Southern in 1916, according to historians.

It was eventually donated to the Railroad Museum and returned to operation in 2020 following a $2 million,14-year restoration, accord-

ing to CRRM Chief Mechanic Je Taylor.

Taylor was the rst of several working mechanics/historians Colorado Community Media spoke with who made it clear: railroading and its history is not a job or hobby, it’s a passion.

“I like to say I get to play trains and it’s true,” Taylor said. “It sounds like a cliche but people say, ‘Find a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.’ Well, it’s mostly true. I still have hard days at work but I love what I do. It’s been a passion for all of my life. As far back as I remember, I’ve always liked trains. I never grew out of it.”

In 1943, the 43-ton #20 locomotive rolled over and o the tracks on a hill

outside Durango. According to historians, it landed on a rock that dented the thick steel plate of the boiler. e plate was eventually replaced as part of its restoration.

“All of these locomotives and all of these pieces of equipment and cars all have terribly fascinating stories and backgrounds. Almost all of them have been in some sort of derailment or wreck,” Taylor said.

Engine #20 is just one of the meticulously restored locomotives on the 15 acres of the Colorado Railroad Museum at 17155 W 44 Ave. in Golden. e living museum maintainsmore than 100 narrow and standardgauge steam and diesel locomotives, passenger cars, freight cars and cabooses, according to the museum.

Also on-site is locomotive #491, the largest operating narrow gauge steam locomotive in the western hemisphere, according to CRRM historians. Locomotive #491 is truly a “Colorado original,” having been built entirely in Colorado during the spring of 1928.

e largest steam engine at the museum, originally a Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad locomotive #5629, was built in 1940 and was used for fast freight and passenger service. It remained in operation until the early 1960s. No. 5629 is one of only four Burlington locomotives of its type still in existence, according to CRRM historians.

TRACKS

Enthusiasts can still board restored passenger cars for an authentic ride through on the rails powered by coalre steam locomotives, including #20.

Locomotives and railroads critical in the development of mining towns of Colorado

“ e story of Colorado being transformed in the 19th and 20th centuries is pretty much inseparable from the story of the railroad, so it’s hard to imagine Colorado without railroads,”

CRRM Executive Director Paul Hammond said.

e history is well documented in the CRRM library and resource center that spans well over 100 years of historical documents, maps and photographs. It was visited by more than 100,000 people from around the world last year, according to Hammond.

Gold and silver were discovered in Clear Creek County and Idaho Springs in 1859. Railroads didn’t arrive until 1876, according to historian Bob Bowland whose family settled in the mountain area in 1873.

“ e railroads were critical,” Bowland said.

Bowland and his wife Jan operate and maintain the Visitors Center and Historical Society at 2060 Miner St. in Idaho Springs.

“A lot of ore had to go to Denver to be treated after being milled up here and we certainly had mills but thenal smelting and re ning needed to be hauled to Denver,” Bowland said. ”Railroad transportation compared to the old ore wagons, there was really no comparison.”

e Argo Mill, 2350 Riverside Drive in Idaho Springs, would routinely ship up to 300 tons of gold and silver of highgrade ore to Denver smelters for nal processing, according to historical records.

“It’s so common to see mining towns and railroads together; they’re industries that need each other,” Bowland said with a laugh. “I would say, at least in this case, the mining needed the railroad more than the railroad needed the mines.”

Historical black-and-white photos of train cars lled with gold and silver ore heading to Denver ordain the walls of the historical society.

Well-dressed passengers from well over a century ago are also pictured boarding the steam-driven locomotive trains.

“Anytime a railroad arrived in town

back in those days it was a big deal and so it was truly critical,” Bowland said.

Devil’s Gate Station and High-Bridge defined Georgetown Loop railroad in 1883

e Devil’s Gate high bridge in Georgetown was considered to be an engineering feat when it was built in 1883, according to historical documents reviewed by Colorado Community Media.

It allowed trains climbing over steep mountains to switch back as the railroad rose from Georgetown to Silver Plume, according to the National and State Register.

“When it was built there were very few bridges that were curved and on a grade,” Brakeman and Conductor of the Georgetown Loop Railroad Caleb Murphy said. “It was thought that bridges had to be straight and level to be structurally sound but we did it and it was one of four or ve in the world at the time.”

e High-Bridge is approximately 300 feet long and built with an 18.5 degree left hand curve. It’s 100 feet above the Clear Creek bed and was originally constructed of cast and wrought iron, according to Murphy.

“ e old-time railroaders used to say that the bridge used to sway from sideto-side and sag in the middle as trains crossed over, thankfully our bridge does not do that,” Murphy said.

e original iron bridge was dismantled in 1939 and rebuilt in the 1970s.

It’s currently in use as the Georgetown Loop passenger train attracting more than 100,000 locals and visitors each year for historical trips with one of several restored coal- red steam locomotives, according to Murphy.

It’s not a job, it’s a passion

e historians, engineers, mechanics and volunteers who spoke with CCM are passionate about the history of railroading in Colorado.

“ is job?” Murphy asked, “It’s just a dream come true.”

e public’s attraction and passion for these historically accurate refurbished coal- red steam locomotives and cars was evident during CRRM’s recent “Colorado Crossings: Making History Today” event.

Locomotives #491 and #20 pulled passengers in original rail cars along the tracks surrounding the museum.

Hundreds of train enthusiasts, many dressed in vintage railroad overalls and hats with children in tow, snapped family pictures with living history as a background.

e existing parking lot over owed across the road, where it tripled in size.

In 1943, the 43-ton #20 locomotive rolled over and o the tracks on a hill outside Durango. According to historians, it landed on a rock that dented the thick steel plate of the boiler. The plate was eventually replaced as part of its restoration.

Plans to annex Bandimere site head to town of Morrison

Auto auction company wants to open new location on property, later adding retail and restaurant

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A proposal to annex the 125-acre Bandimere property will come before Morrison’s planning commission July 9 and its town board Aug. 6. e pair of hearings are the rst steps in a process that would dramatically change the use of the former speedway site at C470 and Morrison Road.

Longtime Bandimere Speedway owner John Bandimere Jr. is negotiating to sell the land to Copark, an auto auction company that processes three million cars a year from 200 global locations.

In addition to annexing the unincorporated Je erson County parcel, Copart is asking Morrison to zone

the area as a planned development and approve a development plan for its vehicle auction center.

Bandimere sees the change as ideal for Morrison and neighboring homeowners. Copart’s business will be quiet, generate minimal tra c and won’t entail the construction of large buildings that could block views of the hogback, he said.

“When Copart showed an interest in our property, we looked at it as an answer made in heaven,” Bandimere said. “Copart is a solid company, and we can carry the tradition of automotive my mom and dad started. It’ll be a much quieter use, much less light and tra c. It’s a phenomenal use for this piece of property.”

Complicating the change in use, the Bandimere property is not currently served by a water and sewer system. But a Copart representative said those negotiations are underway.

“Eventually, it will connect to the town’s water and sewer,” said Vincent Harris, president of Baseline Engineering. “ e attorneys are

Mount Evans brings support

working out an agreement for a date to make that connection.”

Twenty acres of the former speedway land, broken into two parcels on the south end of the property, are already in the town of Morrison. In a tra c impact study Harris submitted to the town in May, plans show two retail buildings and two fast food restaurants on those parcels.

While the Bandimeres used those lots for parking, John Bandimere hopes they can now be developed and generate revenue for the community he’s leaving behind.

“We’ve had a relationship with Morrison for 65 years,” he said. “We just really wanted to be a good neighbor and make it so these 20 acres could be lasting income to the town.”

If the town approves the annexation, Harris said Copart will close its deal for the land, and submit a site plan to the town. If that also gets a green light, he expects Copart could begin needed construction and open in spring 2025. e retail uses would be developed later. e Bandimeres, meanwhile, plan to continue their drag racing legacy and move the longtime family business to a larger site near the metro area.

“A lot of people think we’re being forced out by Red Rocks Ranch and Solterra,” Bandimere said, referring to housing developments east of

C470 that have gone up in the past several years. “ at’s really not true.

“Our platform isn’t about racing. It’s about family,” he continued. “Most people have no idea what a tight-knit group the drag racing family is in this area. We have people who grew up here; it’s been a part of their life. In a sense, we feel obligated to continue that.” e proposed new site will allow the family to expand their operations.

“ e property (we’re considering) is 10 times larger,” John Bandimere said. “It has water, sewer, highway access — all of the things that are needed to be able to have an event. It’ll be not just a race track. ere’ll be commercial, places where people can store vehicles.”

Bandimere Jr., who is 86, said his son John “Sporty” Bandimere, has been managing operations in Morrison and will do so at the new site.

John Bandimere Sr. bought the 150-acre property on Morrison Road in 1957 — decades before C470 was built — and opened the speedway a year later. Also known as under Mountain, the dragstrip hosted 28,500 spectators at more than 130 events a year. Bandimere Speedway closed at the end of the 2023 season.

Both public hearings begin at 6 p.m. at the town hall, 110 Stone St. in Morrison.

The former Bandimere Speedway site, which closed last year, could be annexed into the Town of Morrison and become the new home of an auto auction company.

A homecoming and fine art show at the Tesoro Powwow and Indian Market

BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Tesoro Cultural Center’s 23rd Annual Indian Market and Powwow hosted Native American artists, singers and dancers for a weekend of fun, commerce, education and celebration.

e event took place June 1 at e Fort in Morrison, and for many of the vendors, performers and attendees, the event was also a homecoming.

According to Jeremy Kinney, coowner of e Fort and board chairman of the Tesoro Cultural Center, the event has grown over the years.

“When we started this wonderful powwow and our show, we never knew that it would ourish,” he said. Host for the evening George Curtis Levi spoke during the opening night Patron Party, saying that despite the size, the same faces keep coming back.

“It’s not just an art show, is not just a powwow,” he said. “To my Cheyenne people, this is a homecoming. Our people call this ‘Ho’honáá’e Tsé’amoo’ se.’ It means the Rocky Mountains.”

$20 million Juul settlement to go to youth mental health

Elk encounters peaking in Evergreen

Calving season prompts trail closures and draws the curious

BY JANE REUTER

Evergreen resident Pam DeMar Riskin carefully avoided Evergreen Lake on her June 3 morning walk, mindful of a trail closure and signs warning of mother elk protecting their newborn calves. Instead, she and her Australian Shepherd Pumpkin took a trail out of Dedisse Park that led away from the lake.

Only a third of a mile up, they rounded a corner and saw a female elk about 10 yards away. Riskin and Pumpkin started backing up. e elk came after them. ey ducked behind a large rock outcropping.

“She came around the rock after us,” Riskin said. “She was coming at my dog, who was scared and trying to defend me. I was screaming. e elk gave my dog a glancing kick in the side.”

Believing the elk was primarily focused on Pumpkin, Riskin dropped the leash, and Pumpkin ran toward downtown Evergreen with the elk in hot pursuit. e dog easily outdistanced the cow, and Riskin — assuming the worst of the incident was over — headed back down the trail. Moments later, the elk returned and ran after her again. Riskin tucked

her body behind a tree and called her husband, then 911.

“It seemed like forever, but it probably took 10 minutes for the Je co sheri to get there,” she said. “I stayed on with the dispatcher that whole time, and the nose of the elk was about two feet away on the other side of the tree. It was terrifying. I kept thinking, ‘ is is not how I want to die.’”

e elk nally left when the sheri ’s deputy arrived and shouted at it. Riskin reunited with her husband and Pumpkin, who was safe in downtown Evergreen.

Riskin’s tale is not an isolated one in Evergreen, or Colorado. e same day she was penned, an elk charged and stomped a 4-year-old boy at an Estes Park playground, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

Tales of cow elk charging passersby at Evergreen Lake have ooded local Facebook pages in the past couple of weeks as calving season gets underway. Many are visitors, who may unwittingly get too close to an elk cow while taking a photograph. But some are locals like Riskin, who’s lived in Evergreen since 2015.

“I’ve hiked in these parks many times, at all times of year,” she said. “We’re very aware, and I listen if I see the signs. We have elk, bears, deer and foxes in our yard. When they’re there, I don’t take my dog out. We watch them from a respectful distance.”

Similar incidents happen each spring, said Evergreen Park & Recreation District executive director Cory Vander Veen. e EPRD manages Evergreen Lake, which is owned by the city and county of Denver.

Community Since 1986

“Every year we have a handful of elk, usually the same moms, that love to have their babies on the island,” he said.

e islands are designated as wildlife preserves and are o -limits to people at all times, but a pedestrian boardwalk — now temporarily closed for calving season — passes by them. Media reports about the aggressive elk have served to both educate the public and draw the curious, some of whom bypass the trail closure signs.

Volunteers from Evergreen Audubon and Wild Aware are at the lake each weekend during calving season, and Denver Park rangers also

patrol the area.

“We do a lot of outreach to educate people on respective distances,”

Vander Veen said.

at’s especially important during the spring calving season and fall rut season, when the much larger bull elk often become aggressive.

But 27-year Evergreen resident and wildlife photographer Daniel Rakes thinks the elks’ behavior is di erent this spring.

“I always take photos during the spring calving season and the rut season; I’ve been doing this quite a few years,” he said. “ is is the most

aggressive I have seen the cows with the calves.”

He’s been keeping a particularly close eye on a cow elk at Evergreen Lake. He believes her calf is on one the islands on the lake’s north side, where the trail is now closed.

“It’s understandable if people are really, really close, but last week she ran all the way down the bank above the lake, across the road and down the bike path after a dog,” he said. “I’ve never seen them that aggressive.”

Pam DeMar Riskin and her dog Pumpkin were pursued by an aggressive elk on an Evergreen trail June 3.

SETTLEMENT

e $20 million grant program is the largest of three programs that Colorado is spending the Juul settlement money on. e others are a $6 million grant program aimed at nonpro t organizations and government agencies, and an $11.4 million grant program for school districts to address the youth vaping crisis. ose grant programs are already underway, and Weiser said the recipients will be announced soon.

Grant applicants whose school districts serve a combined 23,000 students or more will be eligible for a $2.5 million grant over a three-year period, Weiser said. Applicants whose districts serve between 7,500 and 23,000 students will be eligible for $1.75 million over three years, and districts that serve fewer than 7,500 students will be eligible for $750,000.

Late last year, Colorado led a coalition of 42 attorneys general nationwide that sued Meta in a similar lawsuit alleging that its social media platforms, including Instagram, used deceptive practices to harm children and teens and addict them to social media.

Chalkbeat is a nonpro t news site covering educational change in public schools.

Weiser said he sees the $20 million program as especially impactful because of the power of collaboration. “Schools are free to work with whoever in their community is serving young people,” he said. “In some communities, it might be a Boys and Girls Club. In other communities, it might be a library teaching kids to read.”

Colorado sued Juul in 2020, alleging that it targeted youth with deceptive marketing and played down the health risks of vaping. STOCK IMAGE

Linda Engelhart is one of the Evergreen Audubon volunteers who donates her time at the lake educating visitors and warning them when they get too close to an elk. She hasn’t just been taught about the danger; she’s experienced it herself, gaining a hoof-sized bruise on her foot two years ago while trying to retrieve a newspaper from her driveway. She also witnessed a cow elk stomp a dog repeatedly at Evergreen Lake a few years ago after she warned its owners they were too close to the animal. She does not believe the dog survived the encounter.

An adult female elk typically weighs between 500 and 600 pounds. It can run up to 45 mph and jump eight feet, according to Science Trek.

“ ey look so complacent and slow and they seem kind of clumsy,” Engelhart said. “People often don’t take the warnings seriously. We are advised to tell people a mama elk is like a mama bear. Once they’re triggered, you need a suit of armor.”

As Englehart spoke with the Canyon Courier, she was walking her dog in her Hiwan Hills neighborhood, armed with an air horn and a walking stick for a potential elk encounter.

“I’m taking a di erent route because an elk gave birth in our neighbor’s yard,” she said. “We are not going to walk by her today.

I’ve had plenty of encounters over time, and I believe most people in Evergreen who spend a lot of time outdoors with their dogs probably have too.”

Englehart believes the concentration of visitors to Evergreen Lake has grown in the last few years, and that’s fed a rise in elk/human encounters.

“Evergreen’s become more popular, and the encounters are probably worse because of numbers of people, not numbers of elk,” she said. “So many people were ignoring the barricade last weekend. As a volunteer, I felt like I was trying to herd cats.”

Englehart said the female elks’

aggressiveness should ease by late June as the calves get bigger and can move to other areas.

“It is wonderful we share a habitat with these magni cent creatures,” she said. “But there are two times of the year when they’re particularly sensitive to human presence. We just need to give them another month.”

Meet third-generation hat shaper Parker Thomas at the Mile High Hoedown

BY JO ANN M. COLTON

Colorado-born Parker omas Orms always envisioned himself growing up and tackling life head-on as an athlete on a sports eld. So, how did he wind up being a hat shaper and owner of Hats By Parker omas? e answer is… fate! Parker’s father Glenn has been a hat shaper all his life following the tradition set by his own father. Parker’s grandpa Dewey started shaping hats 65 years ago in Texas — and did so until his death in 2022.

Parker inherited his passion for playing sports from his mom and her family. His mother Katherine lettered in softball at Northern Colorado in the 1970s.

Parker omas Orms attended Colorado University Boulder (20102013) on a football scholarship and played defensive back for the Colorado Bu aloes football team. He was an engaging presence on the eld and a fan favorite. Parker was on the path to joining the NFL although football-related injuries (shoulder and hamstring injuries and a torn ACL for which he had to undergo surgery) likely ended that pursuit.

In 2015, Parker traveled to Milan to play semi-pro football as a Free Safety Punt Return Man for the Milano Rhinos, Italy’s professional league. But after playing his last football season in Europe, Parker omas came home to his family and the family traditions that are tightly woven into the fabric of his being. So, it wasn’t just a “hat” trick that led him to become a hat shaper and Parker’s success is proving to be far more rewarding than he could ever have imagined.

“I worked with my father and grandfather for eight years. Traveling around di erent rodeos and western-themed events, I shaped and designed cowboy and fedora hats,” said

Parker who has been adding his own sense of style and creativity to traditional hats while shaping his own destiny in the process.

en he opened Hats By Parker omas (https://www.hatsbyparkerthomas.com/) two years ago at 257 Fillmore St., Unit 110, in the Cherry Creek area of Denver where he meets with his clientele by appointment. Parker and his small team of hat craftsmen also shape and sell his hats nationwide at private home parties (with 5-25 people), weddings, corporate gatherings, and community events. Likewise, sports gures and celebrities like Reba McEntire are now a part of his overall customer base. Most of Parker’s bookings are

made through his business location or through Instagram and TikTok.

e store and private events keep Parker busy these days but he still enjoys opportunities to be part of community events like the June 29 Mile High Hoedown at the Stampede in Aurora.

“I am really looking forward to meeting people at the Mile High Hoedown,” said Parker who explained that he welcomes every opportunity to support Colorado’s lifestyles and interact with athletes/artists, and all others within its many communities.

“Each hat and design depends on the needs of the customer and the customizations they choose,” said Parker. He stated that although he can

shape any type hat he especially enjoys creating cowboy style hats, which are so very popular throughout Colorado.

“Most hats can be done in around 30 minutes and I will make your hat to order right there at the Mile High Hoedown,” said Parker who mentioned that his custom wool or beaver-blend hats range from $200 to $450. For additional fees he also o ers cleaning, reshaping and branding services.

Music lovers won’t want to miss a beat when Boulder’s very own Sun Jr. brings their “Psych Mountain Rock” sounds to the stage. Dancers will love learning the latest line dances taught throughout the day by dance instructor/choreographer Laurie Burkardt. Attendees can visit vendor booths and print their own shirt or tank top with Ink and Drink, obtain a ash tattoo from Ace of MR. ACE Art & Tattoos, and get interactive with some “not permanent but cool” body art/ face painting and/or hair sparkle accents from Little People Face Painting.

CCU brings Nike softball camp to Lakewood this summer

Twins Kayla and Kenzie Middleton, former CCU and Golden High School players, will be assistant coaches for their alma mater starting this fall. ey’re also co-directing the camps and couldn’t be more excited to show players what CCU softball is all about.

Instruction will focus primarily on hitting, elding, base-running and game situations. But it will be a lot of fun, too.

“ e most exciting thing for us is just giving back to the community,” Kenzie said. “Because when we were trying to get into college, obviously we went to a bunch of camps. at’s just what you did. And so, this camp we’re really trying to give back to them and show them this is something you do and this is something that is fun. Some camps can not be fun, but we’re making this one fun.”

Having Nike as a sponsor helps big time, they said.

Below is a breakdown of the three camp options.

ere is an overnight (on CCU’s campus) and extended day camp for ages 13-18 that runs July 1417  ere is a “Little Cougs” day camp for ages 6-12 that runs July 15-17 ere is an all-skills day and half-day camp for ages 6-18 from July 29 to Aug. 2

“( ere will be) fun games. It’s just kind of learning how to play softball and getting started,” Kayla said. “ at’s the biggest thing. And that’ll be a cool experience

because it’s mostly games and we’ll have prizes from Nike … We have a lot of di erent portions to the camp that can t your lifestyle needs and what parents want for their kids.”

Kenzie and Kayla were state runner-ups on the Golden High School softball team in 2019 before their highly decorated college playing careers.

Both sisters have too many college accolades to include here, but a few brief ones include:

Signi cant contributions to back-to-back Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference championships in 2022 and 2023 (2022 being the rst in CCU’s history) Kenzie Middleton’s program record of 18 home runs in a season in 2024, beating her 2023 record of 16 Kayla Middleton and Kenzie Middleton Named First and ird Team All-Americans by D2CCA (Division II Conference Commissioners Association)

New law makes two years of college free for Colorado families

Two years at a four-year public college, community or trade schools will now

Gov. Jared Polis made a bold declaration ursday before he signed a bill that gives more incentives for Coloradans to pursue a higher education.

“ is one of the most important bills in this legislative session,” Polis said before signing HB24-1340 before a crowd of educators, lawmakers and students at Mountain Range High School.

e bill stipulates that beginning in the fall of 2024, students who attend public institutions and have family incomes of $90,000 or less are eligible for a complete reimbursement of any out-of-pocket tuition and fees paid for their education, according to a news release. e legislation expands on existing state programs aimed at making

SOFTBALL

As rst-year assistant coaches for CCU, the sisters re ected on how special it’s been to share their journeys at every level.

“Softball has been a part of our lives for so long, and it’s really exciting for us to be able to stay in that community and in that realm of life,” Kayla said. “I think we see the opportunity that learning never stops. ere’s a lot of development that happens in those four years as college athletes and so I think we really want to take that and help others grow their skills.”  CCU is not just a place to improve your softball game and stack wins, Kenzie said, adding that there’s so much love for one another at the university, and having a camp to showcase the Cougars’ culture can let potential college players see what the atmosphere could be like for them in the future.

college a ordable for middle class Coloradans, Polis said.

“Some people simply can’t a ord to go to college while others have spread out their higher education over 8-to-10 years because of the costs,” Polis said.

Two years at any public four-year college, community college or trade school are essentially free to every Coloradan, added Polis. “ is (bill) will strengthen Colorado’s workforce, provide new pathways for students to gain in-demand skills, and save Coloradans thousands of dollars – helping ensure that higher education is a ordable for everyone,” Polis said in the news release.

State Rep. Shannon Bird – a cosponsor of the bill – echoed Polis’s sentiments.

“ is is my most favorite bill this legislation session,” Bird said.

Polis also signed HB24-1305 which expands the state’s Pathways in Technology Early College High School (P-Tech) program which allows students in approved programs to graduate from high school with an associate’s degree or certicate in certain disciplines. e bill expands the allowable disciplines to include industries beyond the

“It’s just a great place to be friends with one another,” Kenzie said.

“But also, before we went to CCU, we didn’t really have a relationship with God, but going through that program and that school, we have a great relationship now. It’s built us into the people we are and I think that’s super important. CCU’s been a great foundation for us and we want to continue that to the next generations.”

“I had the goal of becoming a college softball player since I started and these camps help kids get to where they want to be to be seen by college coaches,” Kayla said. “So, it’s passing it along and helping these kids get to where they want to be in their dreams.”

THE CITY OF GOLDEN, COLORADO, AMENDING SECTION 18.60.050, OF THE GOLDEN MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING LIMITATIONS TO INFLATION ADJUSTMENTS TO ECONOMIC INCENTIVES PER THE CITY CHARTER

WHEREAS, the City of Golden (the “City” or “Golden”) is a home rule municipal corporation organized and existing pursuant to Article XX, Section 6 of the Colorado Constitution and governed by a local Home Rule Charter of the City of Golden (the “Charter”); and

WHEREAS, Article XX of the Colorado Constitution and Article 15.11 of the Charter empowers the City to control and legislate in its Charter upon all matters of municipal concern and to amend such Charter through a vote of the electorate; and

WHEREAS, Chapter XI.V, “Subsidies and Incentives for Development”, of the Charter, was approved by voters on November 6, 2001, and established limitations on the amount of economic incentives or subsidies that may be approved by City Council Resolution, subject to annual adjustments of these limits in accordance with State Government statistics for the local inflation rate; and

WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 1678, signed October 14, 2004, established the current Chapter 18.60 “Economic Incentives Program” of the Golden Municipal Code (the “Code”), “intended to implement, apply, interpret and comply with the provisions of Chapter XI.V of the [Charter] pertaining to the restrictions on certain subsidies and incentives for development”; and WHEREAS, the limitations on the amount of economic incentives or subsidies that may be approved by City Council Resolution have not been updated since 2001; and

WHEREAS, annual inflation since that time has substantially reduced the value of these incentives; and

WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the proposed amendments to Section 18.60.050 –Charter Limitations, and has determined that such changes are in the best interest of public health, safety, and welfare and desire to adopt the same.

THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GOLDEN, COLORADO:

Section 1. The recitals set forth above are hereby incorporated by reference and are adopted as findings and determinations by the City Council.

Section 2. Section 18.60.050(1) – “Charter Limitations”, of the Golden Municipal Code, is hereby amended to read as follows, with additions shown in bold and deletions shown in strikethrough:

CHAPTER 18.60 – ECONOMIC INCENTIVES PROGRAM

18.60.050 – Charter Limitations

(1) Voter approval. Pursuant to Chapter XLV of the City of Golden Charter, any economic development incentive agreement or program that exceeds the limits set forth in this section must be authorized by approval by the electors of the City of Golden at a regular or special election. The reasonable costs of such a regular or special election attributable to the economic development incentive agreement shall be paid by the proposed recipient, who shall post a bond or other security as may be approved by city council, to ensure such payment. Upon authorization by a majority of electors, city council, in its sole discretion, may approve or disapprove the economic development incentive agreement by resolution. The following economic development incentives will require voter approval:

(a) Except those agreements described in subsection (1)(b) of this section, any separate economic development incentive agreement wherein the maximum aggregate amount of the subsidies or incentives attributable to any individual recipient for a specifically identified property or project may exceed ($25,000.00 strikethrough) $44,000.00 over the entire term of the agreement.

(b) Any separate economic development incentive agreement wherein the maximum aggregate amount of the subsidies or incentives

attributable to any individual recipient for a specifically identified property or project may exceed ($100,000.00 strikethrough) $177,000.00 over the term of the agreement if:

1. The subject matter of the economic development incentive agreement relates to the construction or development of senior housing developments or low income housing developments that qualifies as such by any state or federal law or regulation; or

2. If the subject matter of the economic development incentive agreement pertains to the renovation or restoration of properties designated as historic sites, structures or included within a historic district as described in chapter 18.58 of the Golden Municipal Code.

(c) Any economic development incentive program instituted by the City of Golden wherein the maximum aggregate amount of development subsidies or incentives attributable to any qualified recipient in connection with the establishment, expansion, retention or replacement of a business, or commercial, industrial or residential development in a specifically identifiable property exceeds $44,000.00 ($25,000.00 strikethrough) during the course of any three-consecutive-year period.

(d) The monetary amounts established in this subsection shall be calculated based upon the estimated cost to the City of Golden of such incentive or subsidy. In estimating such cost, any resulting benefit shall not be considered to reduce the cost.

(e) Pursuant to the authority in charter section 11.5.3 “Exceptions not requiring voter approval”, the limitations on development incentives or subsidies shall be adjusted automatically for inflation on January 1, 2025, and on January 1 of each year thereafter. As used in this paragraph, “inflation” means the Colorado consumer price index or a similar index that is tied to the annual rate of inflation in the state or Denver-Golden area.

Section 3. If any article, section, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is held to be unconstitutional or invalid for any reason, such decision will not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance and each part or parts hereof irrespective of the fact that any one part or parts be declared unconstitutional or invalid.

Section 4. All other ordinances or portions thereof inconsistent or conflicting with this ordinance or any portion hereof are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency or conflict.

Section 5. The repeal or modification of any provision of the Municipal Code of the City of Golden by this ordinance shall not release, extinguish, alter, modify or change in whole or in part any penalty, forfeiture or liability, either civil or criminal, which shall have been incurred under such provision. Each provision shall be treated and held as still remaining in force for the purpose of sustaining any and all proper actions, suits, proceedings and prosecutions for enforcement of the penalty, forfeiture or liability, as well as for the purpose of sustaining any judgment, decree or order which can or may be rendered, entered or made in such actions, suits, proceedings or prosecutions.

Section 6. This ordinance is deemed necessary for the protection of the health, welfare, and safety of the community.

Section 7. The codifier of the City’s Municipal Code, Municode, is hereby authorized to make such numerical and formatting changes as may be necessary to incorporate the provisions of this ordinance within the Golden Municipal Code.

Section 8. This ordinance shall become effective five (5) days after publication following final passage in accordance with Section 5.9 of the Charter for the City of Golden, Colorado.

ORDINANCE NO. 2231

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GOLDEN, COLORADO, REPEALING CHAPTER 15.18, GRADING, OF TITLE 15 OF THE GOLDEN MUNICIPAL CODE AND ADOPTING A NEW CHAPTER 15.18 SITE IMPROVEMENTS

WHEREAS, the City of Golden, Colorado (the “City” or “Golden”) is a home rule municipality, organized and existing under Article XX, Section 6 of the Colorado Constitution; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Charter, Section 2.08.020 of the Golden Municipal Code (the “Code”), the City’s home rule authority and police powers, the City poses all powers, functions, rights, and privileges in the operation of a municipality except those forbidden to home rule municipal cities by the constitution or statutes, and the City Council is the body of final responsibility in all matters affecting the City; and

WHEREAS, the term, “site work” generally means the work taking place on the exterior of a building foundation or independent of the construction of a structure, including, but not limited to, earthwork, grading, utility installation, drainage infrastructure, construction/ modification/removal of public improvement, public infrastructure, or of private infrastructure, construction/modification/removal/ installation of a tap, service line, or connection to water, sewer, or stormwater distribution or collection systems; and

WHEREAS, site work is currently either addressed in building permit applications when they occur in connection with building construction, or it falls under a grading permit when they are not associated with building construction. This regulatory approach is not working because there is no mechanism under a grading permit to address site work that occurs outside those two scenarios and the language in the current Chapter 15.18 - “Grading” is specific to projects consisting only of grading work; and

WHEREAS, there is a need to establish requirements and review of site work/ improvements by a permit that addresses site work that isn’t associated with a building permit and also provides a time frame within which site work must be completed; and

WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to create a site improvement permit which will be required when doing site work in the following situations: (1) a development which contains multiple buildings to be completed at different times, and (2) projects involving complex earthwork which may include the construction or relocation of utilities, and (3) a project involving the construction/ modification/removal of public improvements, public infrastructure, private infrastructure, taps or service lines or connections to water, sewer, or stormwater distribution or collection systems not associated with a building permit, and (4) projects where a developer would like to start site work prior to the issuance of a building permit; and

WHEREAS, in furtherance of the above objectives, the City Council wishes to create a permit process that creates oversight for site work and provides a benefit to the community by ensuring

the public’s health, safety, and welfare. THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GOLDEN, COLORADO:

Section 1. The recitals contained above are incorporated herein by reference and are adopted as findings and determinations of City Council.

Section 2. Section 15.18 of Title 15 of the Golden Municipal Code, “Grading”, is repealed in its entirety and a new Section 15.18 entitled “Site Improvements” is hereby adopted to read in full as follows:

15.18 – SITE IMPROVEMENTS

15.18.010 – Legislative Intent

It is the intent of this chapter to provide procedures, standards, and review for site work, as defined in this chapter, that is not already addressed in building permit applications, or when it involves earth work only or not associated with building construction. There is a need to establish a process to address this gap in oversight related to site work that isn’t associated with a building permit and also to provide a time frame within which site work must be completed. The requirement and enforcement of a site improvement process promotes the protection of the health, safety, and general welfare of Golden residents and visitors.

15.18.020 – Definitions

For the purposes of this chapter, the following words and terms have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

City Engineer means the city engineer or their designee.

Cut means the removal of any rock, soil, or any combination thereof where material is removed from its prework location.

Earth Work /Grading means the mechanical removal or deposit of any rock or soil, or any combination thereof.

Fill means the placement of any rock, soil, or any combination thereof either from a location on a project site or imported from an offsite location.

Private Infrastructure means water/ sanitary/ storm mains facilities or appurtenances, roads, sidewalks, etc. maintained by a private property owner or organization connected to or served by public infrastructure.

Public Improvements means those rights-ofway, easements, access rights, and physical improvements which, upon formal acceptance by the city shall become the responsibility of the city for ownership and/or maintenance and repair, and shall include, but not by way of limitation, the following: curb and gutter, asphalt pavement, concrete pavement, streets of all types, sidewalks, pedestrian/bike paths, traffic signals, street lights, highways, freeway rights of way, easement, access rights, medians, bridges, acceleration and deceleration lanes, culverts, storm drainage facilities including necessary structures, channels, water lines, sanitary sewer lines and all other improvements which upon acceptance by the city are intended to be for the use of and enjoyment of the public.

Public Infrastructure means any public facility, system, or improvement including, without limitation, water, sewer, and stormwater mains and appurtenances, storm drains and structures, utilities, roads, streets, sidewalks, curb and gutter, alleys, traffic signal poles and appurtenances, conduits, signs, landscape improvements, and public safety equipment.

Service line means the line from the city water or wastewater main to the building or improvement to be served.

Site Work/Site Improvements generally means the work taking place on the exterior of a building foundation or independent of the construction of a structure, including, but not limited to, earthwork, grading, utility installation, drainage infrastructure, construction/ modification/removal of public improvement, public infrastructure, or of private infrastructure, construction/modification/removal/installation of a tap, service line, or connection to water, sewer, or stormwater distribution or collection systems.

Tap means the right, physical process, or act of

connecting a service line to the city’s water main and/or wastewater main.

15.18.030– Site Improvement Permit

(a) Site Improvement Permit Required. Except as permitted herein, it shall be unlawful for any person to perform site work without first obtaining a permit from the City if the site work is in connection with any one of the following:

(1) Phased Projects. A project involving the construction of multiple buildings where completion of each building and obtaining a certificate of occupancy will occur in phases.

(2) Earth Work-Only Projects. A project involving the placement or removal of greater than or equal to 50 cubic yards (YD3) of earth material and not associated with another project covered under a building permit. The conditions found in the approved plans of the earth work-only site development permit must be met within 180 days of permit issuance but may be extended with written approval by the City Engineer. Each extension will be for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days and must be requested prior to permit expiration and/or prior to each extension expiration.

(3) Site Work Not Associated with a Building Permit. A project involving the construction/ modification/removal of public improvements, public infrastructure, private infrastructure, taps or service lines or connections to water, sewer, or stormwater distribution or collection systems not associated with a building permit.

(4) Site Work Prior to Issuance of Building Permit. A desire to begin site work prior to issuance of building permits. However, if a person obtains a Site Improvement Permit to begin work prior to issuance of building permits they are doing so at their own risk as changes to the work covered under the Site Improvement Permit may be required due to a subsequent review of the associated building permit.

(b) Exemptions from the permit requirement. The following activities may be conducted without obtaining a Site Improvement Permit:

(1) Minor earth work projects which meet both of the following criteria:

(i) Involve the placement or removal of less than 50 cubic yards (YD3) of earth material. Material removed from a cut and subsequently placed as fill adjacent to the cut shall not be considered separate disturbances for the purpose of determining whether the 50 cubic yards minor project exemption has been exceeded and;

(ii) Involve less than one-half acre of graded area Individual lots in subdivision developments under the same ownership, involving less than one-half acre of disturbed area, shall not be considered separate projects if they are contiguous. Any series of related projects or connected projects on one site, which together exceed the one-half-acre limitation or involve the placement or removal of more than 50 cubic yards shall be considered a single project. For example, several one-half acre segments to construct a road would be considered a single project and would be required to obtain a Site Improvement Permit.

(2) Tillage of land that is zoned agricultural or the tillage of a parcel zoned PUD (planned unit development) that permits agricultural uses.

(3) Maintenance and cleaning of ditches, lakes, ponds, and water storage reservoirs.

(4) Maintenance and resurfacing of existing roads, trail systems, and railroad beds.

(5) Performance of emergency work necessary to prevent or mitigate an immediate threat to life, property, or the environment. The person performing such emergency work shall immediately notify the public works department of the emergency and work required. If the emergency work would not otherwise be exempt from a Site Improvement Permit, a permit shall be obtained within fourteen (14) business days of the notification of the emergency.

(c) If a Site Improvement permit is associated with the construction of one or more buildings, the conditions of the Site Improvement Permit must be met, and the Site Improvement Permit closed within thirty (30) days of issuance of Certificate of Occupancy for any building associated with the Site Improvement Permit. The timeline may be extended with written consent of the City Engineer. Each extension will be for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days and must be requested

prior to expiration of the Site Improvement permit and/or prior to the expiration of each extension.

(d) Permission of other agencies or owners. The issuance of a Site Improvement Permit shall not relieve the person of the responsibility of securing other permits or approvals required by the city or any other entity or complying with all applicable federal, state, or local laws and regulations, or for obtaining any easements or authorization for removing or transporting earth materials on property not owned by the permittee.

15.18.040 Permit Fee

(a) Before a permit is issued pursuant to this Chapter, the applicant shall pay to the city a permit fee, which shall be determined in accordance with a fee schedule adopted by the city council by resolution from time to time. If the city determines that an application will require review by professional consultants, the applicant shall execute an escrow agreement in a form approved by the city attorney and make an initial escrow payment in an amount sufficient to cover the estimated review costs, as set forth in the fee schedule adopted by the city council. The city may draw upon the escrow, in the city’s discretion, to pay the fees and expenses of professional consultants retained by the city to review the application. The city may require additional escrow funds to be paid for additional services related to the application if they become necessary. If the applicant does not pay additional escrow funds as required within ten days after written notice from the city, then, in addition to other remedies the city may have, the city shall be entitled to a lien on the subject property or the city may elect to certify the assessed costs and expenses to the office of the county treasurer for collection in the same manner as general property taxes are collected. Such liens shall be perfected and may be foreclosed upon in accordance with applicable state laws.

(b) Failure of the applicant to provide additional escrow funds in a timely manner may result in delays in application processing. If a balance is due at the time an application is approved, it shall be paid by the applicant as a condition of approval. If a balance is due at the time an application is denied, it shall be paid by the applicant within 30 days after delivery of an invoice to the applicant.

15.18.050 – Remedies for Non-Compliance

(a) Stop Work Orders. Whenever the city determines that any activity is occurring which is not in compliance with a Site Improvement Permit or being done without first obtaining a required Site Improvement Permit, the city may issue a stop work order. The stop work order shall be in writing and shall be given to the owner of the property involved, or to the owner's agent, or to the person doing the work, or shall be prominently posted on or near the affected work, property, or structure. Upon issuance of a stop work order, the cited work shall immediately cease. The stop work order shall state the reason for the order, and the conditions under which the cited work will be permitted to resume.

(b) Civil Proceedings. In case of any violation of any provision of this chapter, or any amendment thereof, the city may, at its discretion, initiate civil proceedings, including administrative citations pursuant to chapter 8.25 of the Code, injunction, mandamus, abatement, declaratory judgment or other appropriate actions or proceedings, to prevent, enjoin, abate, remove, or otherwise correct any such unlawful condition. Civil remedies provided under this section are not exclusive and shall not preclude prosecution for criminal violations under provisions of the Golden Municipal Code.

Section 3. If any article, section, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is held to be unconstitutional or invalid for any reason, such decision will not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance and each part or parts hereof irrespective of the fact that any one part or parts be declared unconstitutional or invalid.

Section 4. All other ordinances or portions thereof inconsistent or conflicting with this ordinance or any portion hereof are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency or conflict.

Section 5. The repeal or modification of any provision of the Municipal Code of the City of Golden by this ordinance shall not release, extinguish, alter, modify or change in whole or in part any penalty, forfeiture or liability, either civil or criminal, which shall have been incurred under such provision. Each provision shall be treated and held as still remaining in force for the purpose

of sustaining any and all proper actions, suits, proceedings and prosecutions for enforcement of the penalty, forfeiture or liability, as well as for the purpose of sustaining any judgment, decree or order which can or may be rendered, entered or made in such actions, suits, proceedings or prosecutions.

Section 6. This ordinance is deemed necessary for the protection of the health, welfare and safety of the community.

Section 7. The codifier of the City’s Municipal Code, Municode, is hereby authorized to make such numerical and formatting changes as may be necessary to incorporate the provisions of this ordinance within the Golden Municipal Code.

Section 8. This ordinance shall become effective five (5) days after publication following passage in accordance with Section 5.9 of the Charter for the City of Golden, Colorado.

NOTICE OF ANTICIPATED EXPEDITED RELINQUISHMENT OF THE PARENT-CHILD LEGAL RELATIONSHIP

TO: ALEXANDER JAMES KINDER

YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED, PURSUANT TO C.R.S. § 19-5-103.7, AS FOLLOWS:

You have been identified by the birth mother, Sarah Kratzer, as a possible biological father of her child, who has an anticipated due date of June 1, 2024 in Colorado. Ms. Kratzer plans to relinquish her parental rights to the child on an expedited basis in the Jefferson County District Court, State of Colorado, where the adoption agency has their office, pursuant to C.R.S. § 19-5-103.5 in order to make the child available for adoption. Adoption Option’s address in Jefferson County is 14143 Denver West Parkway, Suite 100, Golden, CO 80401. In connection with this matter you are advised as follows:

1. Placing a child for adoption requires termination of the birth mother and alleged birth father(s) parent-child legal relationships. Termination of parental rights means that pursuant to a court order, all rights powers, privileges, immunities, duties and obligations existing between a parent and a child are permanently severed, except for inheritance rights, which will be severed at

the time of the final decree of adoption. Upon termination of parental rights, a parent shall: (a) no longer have the right to custody of, or parenting time with the child; (b) no longer have the right to any information concerning the whereabouts, activities, health, or well-being of the child; and (c) have no say in any further decisions concerning said child.

2. As an alleged birth father, you have the right to contest the termination of any parental rights you may have to the child.

3. Failure to declare an intent to contest the termination of parental rights may likely result in a termination of parental rights to the child. In order to contest the termination of the parent-child legal relationship, you must:

a. Request and return a Reply form to Adoption Options at their main office at 1355 S. Colorado Blvd., Suite 501, Denver, CO 80222 by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, no later than twenty-one (21) days after the date of this notice or before the birth mother’s relinquishment petition is filed with the court, whichever occurs later. The date of notice shall be considered either: a) the date on which this notice was delivered to you personally by an employee or representative of Adoption Options or; b) the date on the return receipt should you have received this notice by Certified Mail, whichever is applicable. Alternatively, you may return the enclosed reply form in person to Adoption Options at the address indicated above, no later than twenty-one (21) days after the date of this notice or before the birth mother’s relinquishment petition is filed with the court, whichever occurs later. The date of notice shall be considered either: a) the date on which this notice was delivered to you personally by an employee or representative of Adoption Options or; b) the date on the return receipt should you have received this notice by Certified Mail, whichever is applicable. You should bring photo identification with you for in-person submission.

b. You must also file claim of paternity pursuant to Article 4 of Title 19, Colorado Revised Statutes in the Jefferson County District Court, State of Colorado, at the address shown above and notify Adoption Options pursuant to C.R.S. § 19-4-105.5(4).

c. This claim of paternity must be filed no later than twenty-one (21) days after the date of this notice or before the birth mother’s relinquishment petition is filed with the court, whichever occurs later. The date of notice shall be considered either: a) the date on which this notice was delivered to you personally by an employee or representative of Adoption Options or; b) the date on the return receipt should you have received this notice by Certified Mail, whichever is applicable.

4. You may also waive your right to contest the termination of parental rights or deny paternity and doing so will likely result in a termination of any parental rights you may have to the child.

5. Further notices shall not be provided to you in connection with this matter and your parental rights, if any, will likely be terminated by the District Court, unless you have properly contested the matter in accordance with the above law.
