‘We answer a higher call’

Overnight closures on Lookout Mountain Road start this month

Testing underway for new gates

After years of discussion and months of planning, Je erson County Open Space has installed new gates to close a 4.1-mile stretch of Lookout Mountain Road overnight.

Starting Nov. 12, locals should expect intermittent overnight closures as o cials program and test the system. Workers will also be in the area installing signs and putting the nal touches on the gate sites, Open Space con rmed.

Permanent overnight closures are scheduled to start in December, but o cials said they will announce the exact date once it’s nalized.

Open Space’s Mary Ann Bonnell, who’s been leading the project, claried that while the agency and its partners had hoped to have the gates ready for full overnight closures by Nov. 11, she said recent weather and other complications pushed things back a few weeks.

However, after such a long process, she and many Golden-area residents are excited to see the gates nally installed.

Golden Police O cer Evan Dunn answered hundreds of calls throughout his life. Some were small or routine, like code violations and foot patrols. Others were urgent or serious.

But, among the most important calls he ever answered were:

• e call to love, honor and serve his family as a husband, son and brother;

• e call to serve his country; and

• e call to serve the Golden community, rst as a code enforcement o cer and then as a police o cer.

“ e men and women of the Golden Police Department are dedicated to serving this community,” Police Chief Joe Harvey said Nov. 12. “We answer a higher call.” Dunn, who was killed Nov. 6 while responding to a tra c accident along Highway 58, was remembered by his family, friends and colleagues during a Nov. 13 memorial service at Mission Hills Church. While the memorial itself wasn’t open to the public, dozens of Goldenites and others from across the Denver area lined the sidewalks near the church to pay their respects during the funeral procession. In total, more than 500 rst responders from 76 agencies

across the state participated in the procession, including military personnel and a Black Hawk helicopter yover. Dunn, 33, was a Black Hawk helicopter pilot and was actively serving in the Army National Guard at the time of his death, according to the Golden Police Department

His loved ones have described Dunn as “a man of faith, loyal, steady, quiet and observant.”

He also loved the outdoors, and enjoyed traveling and camping with his wife and their dog.

ny Grusing, his eld training o cer, while responding to the Nov. 6 tra c accident.

Grusing also sustained major injuries during the incident, but has since been released from the hospital, city o cials con rmed.

Golden City Councilors offered Grusing their support and wished her a speedy recovery, saying they were “devastated” by what happened Nov. 6.

Dunn rst joined Golden as a code enforcement ocer, serving for a year until he entered the police academy. He graduated in July and was partnered with O cer Betha-

“Golden is incredibly grateful for (Grusing)’s resilience and bravery,” Mayor Pro Tem Rob Reed said at the Nov. 12 City Council meeting. “ … e City of Golden is honored that Bethany is a part of our community.”

Residents on both sides of Lookout Mountain Road have generally supported closing the road overnight, as gun re and other illegal activity have become more frequent and serious. In fact, many pushed Je co Open Space to install the gates before summer, but o cials said Nov. 11 was the earliest possible date given the project’s legal requirements and practical scope. roughout the process, including at public meetings this summer, some locals have asked Open Space for access codes so they could continue to use the roads overnight, as they have for decades.

However, Bonnell has outlined several safety problems with that proposal, including potentially sharing their codes with others, visitors “piggybacking” o them as they drive through the gates, and endangering the pedestrians and cyclists using the roadway overnight.

FUNERAL

Harvey and Reed also thanked all the individuals, businesses and organizations that have “given a special outpouring of support” at this di cult time. Reed remarked how, amid its heartbreak, Golden was “full of small-town compassion, community and togetherness.”

Harvey described how, along with dozens of in-person condolences and wellwishes, he’s received more than 350 emails and other messages in the last week from people o ering GPD their support. Community members have also been very generous in donating money for Dunn’s family and bringing food and supplies for his colleagues, he said.

“We don’t do it for fame or money; we do it in service,” Harvey said of GPD. “We run into danger when others run away, and we face uncertainty with bravery and courage, which is exactly what Evan and Bethany did Wednesday night.”

Harvey said his message to the community was: “We feel your love and support. We are unwavering, and we are here to protect you.”

“ is loss has rippled through our city sta , our community and our council,” Reed said. “Tonight, we stand together in loss and remembrance. O cer Dunn’s calm, quiet courage and dedication to the City of Golden and its people will never be forgotten.”

Reed and his colleagues thanked Dunn and his family for their sacri ce, with Reed adding that Golden will be doing more to honor Dunn’s memory in the coming weeks.

‘One team, one family’ On Nov. 13, hundreds of rst responders

from across Colorado joined Golden-area law enforcement o cers, re ghters and ambulance personnel for Dunn’s funeral procession to the Littleton-area Mission Hills Church. Additionally, several Goldenites and other community members lined nearby sidewalks, carrying American, military and police ags to honor Dunn. Some like Donny O’Connor wanted to

support their comrade-in-arms.

O’Connor also ew Black Hawk helicopters for the Army National Guard, and had several mutual friends with Dunn. He said he wanted to honor a fellow veteran and support Dunn’s family.

Joe Garcia and his fellow Colorado Patriot Guard Riders likewise thanked Dunn for his military and police service, and shared their condolences for his family,

friends and colleagues.

Golden’s Butch Hernandez and his wife, Cathy Porteous, brought their American ags and stood nearby while the procession made its way to Mission Hills Church. ey said they’d never done anything like this before.

However, Porteous described how she recently lost her sister, saying, “It’s the people that show up to support … that’s going to get the family through it. When it hits close to home you feel it.”

Hernandez, Porteous and Candance Putnam described how “senseless” the loss was for Golden and the greater law enforcement community, describing how talented and well-respected Dunn was by all accounts.

“It breaks my heart that the family has to go through this,” Putnam said.

Putnam, who used to live in Golden years ago, said her son is a police o cer in the Denver area. While it’s heartbreaking every time the community loses a rst responder, especially in the line of duty, she said she’s always proud to see how far-reaching and all-encompassing their support for one another is with funeral processions like Dunn’s.

As the procession made its way down County Line Road and turned into the Mission Hills Church parking area, dozens of patrol vehicles and hundreds of o cers lined either side of the road, culminating in two retrucks with a huge American ag tied between their extended ladders. Chris Davell and other Goldenites who watched the procession said it was a very powerful display of fraternity and community support.

Davell added how heartwarming it was to see so many rst responders and community members — not just from Golden but from across Colorado — honor Dunn and his loved ones.

“It’s very emotional,” he said.

If Buyers & Sellers Were ‘on the Fence’ Awaiting Election Results, Where Are They Now?

The conventional wisdom a month ago was that buyers and sellers were holding off of their plans, waiting to see who won the presidential election. But that wasn’t entirely true. In fact, the number of closings this October were higher than last October, and the number of sellers who put their homes on the market was markedly higher than the prior two Octobers.

Nevertheless, the numbers for all three of the Octobers that occurred after the 2022 spike in interest rates pale in comparison to the statistics for the three prior Octobers, when interest rates were low. Here are the stats from REcolorado for the 20-mile radius of downtown Denver:

to move after the election, 36% said they are considering a move to another country, and 26% are thinking about moving to another state. This was a national survey, so perhaps those considering a move to another state live in one of the 13 states which severely restrict or ban abortions.

Even dispelling that conventional wisdom, however, we can’t deny that there were some jitters about this year’s election which were putting a damper on some members of the public acting on their desires to buy or sell real estate. In fact, the election may have spurred some buyers and sellers to start making plans who had no thoughts of moving if the election went “their way.”

Enter Redfin, which commissioned an Ipsos survey to find out how the election results impacted the real estate market. The results are worth sharing.

The survey was done on the Thursday and Friday after the election and reached 1,005 U.S. residents — 416 Republicans and 381 Democrats, 486 men and 509 women, and 302 people aged 1834, 347 people aged 35-54, and 356 people aged 55+. 553 respondents were homeowners and 330 were renters; 427 reported earning under $50,000, 379 earn between $50,000 and $100,000, and 199 earn over $100,000. The survey responses are summarized in the chart at right.

Here are some highlights from the survey which you may find interesting, as I did:

Of the 22% of respondents who replied that they are more likely

Since Colorado is not one of those states which restrict abortion — and in fact just passed a constitutional amendment protecting reproductive rights — the survey suggests that we may see an influx of people moving here for that reason. A separate survey commissioned by Redfin found that 27% of U.S. residents would be hesitant to live in an area where most residents don’t share their political views.

Reminiscent of 2016, Google searches about leaving the country spiked following Donald Trump’s victory.

Here are the percentage increases for searches “moving to…” these countries:

New Zealand—up 7,600 percent

Germany—up 4,200 percent.

Netherlands—up 3,233 percent.

Ireland—up 2,400 percent.

Norway—up 1,150 percent.

Australia—up 1,150 percent

Portugal—up 1,100 percent

Also, more general searches for “Moving to Europe” surged by 1,566 percent. Searches for “Moving to English-Speaking Countries” surged by 1,328 percent.

Theoretically, such sentiment could spur real estate activity, but I’m not

Some other observations from the Redfin-Ipsos survey included the following: Of the respondents who said they are more likely to move post-election, 17% said the results of the election have made them more likely to consider buying a new home. 12% said the results have made them more likely to consider selling their current home. Roughly the same share (13%) are now more likely to rent a home.

see what the winning candidate might do to increase the availability of affordable housing. Given that Kamala Harris had promised $25,000 down payment grants to first-time homebuyers, it makes sense that they would wait to see if she won instead of buying a home using today’s more modest incentives. Maybe those buyers will indeed get off the fence now that she lost and Donald Trump made no such promise.

Tesla’s ‘Full Self-Driving’ Is Great, But Too Expensive

When Elon Musk first introduced it, I was skeptical of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving software (FSD) ever working in a way that I would find safe and effective. Others must be skeptical, too, because Tesla recently enabled a free 45-day trial of the software in suitably equipped cars, including my 2023 Tesla Model Y. My free trial expires on Nov. 24th.

Having bad-mouthed FSD in the past, I owe it to Tesla and my readers to share my favorable impression of it after putting many miles on my Model Y using FSD, including a road trip to Las Vegas.

In town, I was impressed that the car slows down for speed bumps and dips. How does it know they are there?

With the earlier Autosteer software, my Teslas were dependent on recognizing painted lane markings and would not cross a solid line, but FSD has no problem crossing solid lines when it is safe to do so — for example, giving a wide berth to a bicyclist by crossing the double yellow line, but only when no cars are coming in the opposite direction.

I was impressed at how it handled construction zones. Picture a construction zone with 2½ lanes of a 3-lane interstate closed off with traffic cones. My Tesla simply straddled the solid line between the cones and the edge of the pavement.

I never thought the software would be good at roundabouts, but it is perfect. It slows down (as it does on any curve) and assesses whether another car is remaining in the roundabout and whether a car to the left is entering the roundabout.

And here’s one area where the software is indeed safer than most humans: it assesses cars that are approaching from a road or driveway. If it looks like the vehicle might not stop or yield, the Tesla slows down to make sure. This wide perception alone could eliminate T-bone col-

lisions with cars running red lights. If I’m in the right lane and it sees a car entering the highway, it shifts to the left lane, assuming there’s an opening. Otherwise it slows down to let the car merge, assuming the spacing is right. It also does well merging from the on-ramp. It responds to other cars’ turn signals, slowing to allow them to merge. It would also move to the left when it spotted a stopped vehicle in the breakdown lane.

It recognizes pedestrians and how they are moving, such as toward a crosswalk. At night on an unlit street, it saw a pedestrian in dark clothing that I didn’t see. I also love the display of surrounding traffic, bicycles and curbs on the screen. In slow traffic, it stops to let a pedestrian cross the street. At stop signs, it knows when it can turn left or right onto a busy arterial, or I can press the accelerator to make a bolder entry than it wanted.

FSD’s full name is now “Full SelfDriving (Supervised.)” A camera mounted above the rear view mirror monitors the driver. If you are not looking straight ahead, it alerts you to “Pay Attention to the Road.” This replaces earlier Autosteer software which required you to apply slight turning pressure to the steering wheel every so often to prove you’re there. Somehow, driving at night when the cabin is pitch dark, the camera still knows when I’m not looking ahead. When the car detects bad weather it warns that FSD is “degraded,” and it will require the driver to take over when it can’t trust itself to make good decisions. I’d pay for this improved FSD if it were more affordable, but $99/month or the $8,000 purchase price is simply too high. I’ll let the free trial lapse. I have more to say, and screenshots are included, on the posting of this article at http://RealEstateToday.substack.com

Mines professor charged with vehicular homicide in Golden o cer’s death

e First Judicial District Attorney’s O ce has charged a Colorado School of Mines professor with vehicular homicide in the death of Golden Police O cer Evan Dunn.

Stephen Geer, 43, was arrested at the scene Nov. 6 after he reportedly drove into the scene of a tra c accident along

Highway 58, striking four people. Dunn, whose funeral was Nov. 13, died at the scene. GPD O cer Bethany Grusing was transported to the hospital with serious injuries, but city o cials have con rmed she’s been released and is recovering. Two civilians also sustained injuries, according to police reports, but their statuses were unknown.

Geer appeared out of custody at the Je erson County Courthouse for his Nov.

14 hearing, where the DA’s O ce formally led ve charges against him.

Along with vehicular homicide, a Class 3 felony, the DA’s O ce also charged

• Two counts of vehicular assault, a Class 4 felony, for injuring Grusing and

• One count of third-degree assault, a misdemeanor, for injuring the other ci-

• One count of driving under the in uence, a misdemeanor.

Geer and his attorney have waived his right to a preliminary hearing within 35

He’s next scheduled for a review hearing at 8:30 a.m. Dec. 11 at the Je erson County Courthouse.

On Nov. 7, Colorado School of Mines con rmed Geer as an employee. e university website lists him as a teaching assistant professor in mechanical engi-

Mines o cials shared that they grieve for the impacted Golden o cers, their families, colleagues and community.

“We pray for the recovery of the injured o cer,” Mines o cials stated via email Nov. 7, “and we will look for ways to o er support during this incredibly di cult time.”

The Nov. 6 incident

According to the arrest a davit led against Geer, around 4:38 p.m. Nov. 6, Golden police o cers responded to eastbound Highway 58 just east of Washington Avenue. ey were investigating a crash between a Toyota Tacoma and a Subaru Crosstrek.

Amid slick and snowy conditions, the Toyota had reportedly lost control while the Subaru was trying to pass, hitting it, and both vehicles were now disabled near the median.

All involved vehicles were on the far-

left side of Highway 58, according to the a davit, with a Golden Police vehicle positioned behind the other two. All other tra c was moving to the right, away from the original crash scene.

e Subaru’s driver, the Toyota’s driver and her father, Dunn and Grusing were outside the vehicles getting photos and evaluating the scene around 4:53 p.m. when a black Mazda traveling eastbound entered the area.

e Mazda reportedly hit the Toyota and then the Subaru, pinning Dunn under the latter. He died from his injuries at the scene.

According to the a davit, Grusing and the Toyota’s driver also sustained serious injuries, with the latter su ering a skull fracture and brain bleed. Her father, who was thrown over the jersey barrier, also sustained a large laceration to his head and elbow, the a davit describes.

e Subaru’s driver was uninjured, as was a third GPD o cer who was in the patrol vehicle behind the initial accident scene.

Shortly after the crash, authorities identi ed Geer as the Mazda’s driver. He reportedly told state troopers at the scene he’d been driving home after having a beer at a local bar with a coworker. He told troopers he’d noticed “yellow ashing lights and attempted to stop,” but wasn’t able to, the a davit describes.

Investigators detected alcohol on Geer’s breath, the a davit continues, and he initially agreed to voluntary roadside sobriety tests. However, after he was informed of his Miranda rights around 6:06 p.m., he refused to talk further or complete the sobriety tests.

After receiving a search warrant, investigating troopers completed a blood draw around 8:46 p.m. at the Je co jail, the a davit continues.

It also states that Geer has no previous criminal history.

Report: Housing crisis linked to billionaire investors

Denver’s homeless population hit an all-time high in 2024 but there is actually no shortage of available housing units, according to a new report.

Omar Ocampo, researcher at the Institute for Policy Studies and the report’s co-author, said much of the housing built over the past two decades is not homes for people. ose units, many of which remain vacant, are being used by hedge funds and the wealthy as a safe and pro table place to park large sums of untaxed wealth.

“We have seen, over the past decade or so, a boom in luxury real estate,” Ocampo observed. “Basically, the only people who can a ord it are people who are ultrahigh net worth, or at the top of the income distribution.”

e report showed how corporations and wealthy investors from across the globe have amassed large tracts of single and multifamily residential units since the housing market crash in 2008.

CLOSURES

e gates can be opened and closed remotely, she’s explained, and local rst responders can access them to open evacuation routes or respond to other emergencies. Other administrators, like the local water district and the antenna operators, will have access codes as well, Bonnell con rmed.

Once the road is permanently closed overnight, Golden Police o cers and Je co Sheri ’s deputies have con rmed they’ll continue to patrol along the road for problems. ey’ll also keep a close eye on the surrounding areas to ensure the illegal behaviors don’t move into the neighborhoods and parking lots.

With overnight closures starting this winter, Bonnell said law enforcement won’t be handling as high of volume of people or vehicle tra c as in the summer. So, she expected a more gradual learning curve for anyone wanting to visit the area overnight, whether for good or ill.

“Hopefully, the word will get out that this is not the place to go,” she said.

Meanwhile, Lookout Mountain Road will be open overnight for pedestrians and cyclists only.

e agency will monitor how many and which kind of users visit the roadway at night, with Bonnell said she’s excited to visit the roadway herself and see how popular it becomes.

Pedestrians and cyclists can’t use the trails, pullouts or restrooms, and signs will be posted at each gate site informing people of overnight rules. If problems continue overnight, Open Space o cials have said those privileges can be taken away.

Additionally, the agency will have several rounds of trash cleanup, gra ti re-

moval and other work to address problem behaviors currently tied to the area’s overnight activity, she continued.

Bonnell said the gates and overnight closures wouldn’t have been possible

without the community’s support, describing how nearly everyone agreed: “ is is the right thing to do for the mountain.”

The sun will come up tomorrow and bet your bottom dollar I-70 will be closed at the base of Floyd Hill

Seasonal morning closures on I-70 are in e ect again to reduce crashes due to sun glare

e Colorado Department of Transportation and Clear Creek County Sheri ’s O ce will be closing I-70 eastbound at the base of Floyd Hill during the morning hours when the intense sunshine can blind drivers.

e sheri ’s department said the closures typically take place between 6:30-8 a.m. and last for about an hour on sunny days through February.

e closure was implemented annually a few years ago as a result of frequent, multiple crashes on Floyd Hill as the sun rose over the hilltop and blinded drivers, according to Clear Creek County Sheri Matt Harris.

“As the weeks pass and the days grow longer, the closure will begin a little earlier and will still last for about an hour,” Harris said. “In addition to accident frequency, factors that determined the closure are speed, tra c volume, distance the sun glare severely impacts sight and duration that the sun’s position causes a dangerous glare.”

A detour is in place which takes eastbound drivers onto Highway 6 East to Highway 40 East back to I-70 East. e detour adds less than 1 mile and, with the new roundabout at Homestead Road, takes only a few additional minutes, according to the sheri ’s department.

CDOT recommends drivers leave either earlier or later than normal to avoid the closure and detours.

If motorists have questions about the frequent closures, CDOT urges them to visit COtrip.org.

Je erson County School Board set to approve sale of three closed schools for nearly $9 million

e Je erson County school board is expected to approve the sale of three surplus properties in November, netting close to $9 million. e properties — Glennon Heights, Vivian and ompson Elementary Schools — are slated to be sold following a process driven by extensive public input and collaboration with advisory committees, according to Je co Public Schools Chief Operating O cer Je Gatlin.

e district’s Property Disposition Advisory Committee and ad hoc members speci c to each property’s surrounding neighborhood spent months gathering community input to guide the sales process.

Gatlin the top priorities included neighborhood compatibility, minimal disruption from new developments, facility reuse and the preservation of green spaces.

“I want to express a warm message of gratitude to the community members who served on our Property Disposition Advisory Committee, including those who were the ad hoc members,” said Superintendent Tracy Dorland. “I believe they provided great representation of the immediate community’s interests and concerns as we work through this process.”

Dorland said she believed that the open, collaborative process with the community has helped build trust with those invested in what happens to the

closed school sites.

Property sales recommendations e Property Disposition Advisory Committee, which includes ad-hoc members from each a ected community, unanimously recommended the following:

• Glennon Heights: Allow Jacob Academy, an early childhood care provider, to purchase the building and surrounding property for $3 million. eir pro-

posal to repurpose the existing facility won strong backing due to its minimal neighborhood disruption and alignment with community needs. e committee rejected competing bids from home developers over concerns about lengthy entitlement processes and potential disruption to nearby homeowners.

• Vivian: Accept a proposal from Carlson Homes for approximately $2,550,000. e developer o ered a lower-density

housing plan than its competitor, which aligned more with community input. rough the entitlement process, Carlson can accommodate up to 3 acres of park/open space.

• ompson: Move forward with an o er from Evoke Behavioral Health, which provides services to people with intellectual disabilities, developmental disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and emotional/behavioral disorders for $2.75 million. According to the committee, their proposal to reuse the building promises a swift transition and will expand services for children with autism and other special needs, tting well with district values.

Addressing board concerns

Some board members sought assurances that the recommendations would not negatively impact the district’s o erings. For instance, Danielle Varda wanted to understand the current supply and demand for preschool programs around the Glennon Heights property to ensure that adding Jacob Academy’s program wouldn’t lead to oversaturation.

Dorland promised to provide more information to the board regarding the number of preschool sites the district has nearby but explained that Jacob Academy primarily serves infants, o ers before and after school hours, and that those students will matriculate into Jeffco schools once they go to kindergarten.  e school board’s upcoming vote will likely nalize these recommendations.

Je co’s Property Disposition Advisory Committee unanimously reccomended selling Glennon Heights Elementary to preschool provider Jacob Academy.

“Snow on Patio Furniture” has one simple, light-hearted mission

Evergreen resident Tullie Lochner was contentedly watching snow accumulate on her patio set Nov. 7 when inspiration struck. Wanting to share the feeling it gave her, she launched a new Facebook page, called “Snow on Patio Furniture. Its mission is simple and self-stated.

“A place to share your photos of snow on patio furniture; anything else will be deleted,” reads the “About” section. Far from being ordinary, Lochner nds such photos beautiful and comforting.

“It provides context of size and scale of a storm using everyday items, and also captures the peaceful mood of looking out your window at the snow,” she said. “ at’s so much more fun to think about and look at right now than so many other things.” e page is gaining traction quickly, growing from Lochner’s friends to in-

clude several Evergreen-area followers she doesn’t yet know. And that’s just what she’d hoped for.

“I hope it will spread further than Evergreen,” she said. “I think it brings people joy.”

Followers agree.

“LUV it, this is such a nice re ection of our lighthearted mountain community,” one woman wrote, posting a photo of an item so laden with snow it’s unidenti able.

“Very mindful. Very demure,” wrote another contributor about her photo of a snow-powdered chair under a slender aspen.

“It’s the only way we measure around here!,” wrote another.

Lochner, a former Arizona resident, said she’s been captivated by snow since she and her husband Stephen moved to Colorado a few years ago.

“I had never seen more than a couple inches at a time, and I was fascinated by how it accumulates,” she said. “I also like to take photos, and I think snow on patio furniture makes for an interesting shot.”

Photos of snow on patio furniture are popular because, as 9News anchor Kyle Clark said, “It’s easy.” Clark went on a tongue-in-cheek rant about such photos

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and that means it’s time to start planning that big annual dinner. Timing your shopping just right so you make sure you have everything before it gets sold out and the turkey has time to thaw but not too soon so you don’t have your freezer lled to the max for two weeks and no room for your frozen pizza.

But not to worry. I have a secret that can make your holiday preparations a breeze. All you have to do is buy a pumpkin pie and some whipped topping at the grocery store and go to someone else’s house for anksgiving dinner. Just make sure you let them know enough in advance that you are bringing dessert, otherwise you might have to cook a side dish or something.

If you don’t happen to have any friends or family that you would want to barge in on, no worries. ere are a few places here in Golden that are serving up anksgiving dinner and the only preparations you need are to make a reservation.

First on the list is the Bridgewater Grill in the Golden Hotel downtown, which will be serving up a pretty spectacular

bu et that includes… Oh, what the heck, here’s the entire list of what’s on the buffet: roasted turkey and baked ham, traditional pot roast, jumbo shrimp cocktail, smoked salmon, jumbo lump crab dip, mashed potatoes and gravy, baked mac n’ cheese, cider glazed brussels sprouts, broccoli cheddar casserole, green bean casserole, maple glazed carrots, sweet potato casserole, fennelsausage stu ng, chopped salad station, artisanal cheeses with jams, relish, soft dinner rolls, pumpkin spice and banana mu ns, apple crumble, pecan pie, pumpkin pie and an ice cream sundae station.

e bu et runs $63 for adults and $32 for Children under 10. Reservations are required and you can make them by calling 303-279-2010. e Golden Hotel is located at 800 11th St.(on the corner with Washington Avenue) here in Golden. Next on the list is down the street a couple of blocks and that’s the Table

Mountain Inn’s Grill and Cantina. ere is a special breakfast menu as well as a full anksgiving turkey dinner on the lunch and dinner menu. at includes roasted turkey breast, braised turkey thigh, whipped potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, corn bread dressing and morita turkey gravy. at one runs $31.99 but they have several other entrees on the menu that range in price from $16.50 to $34.99.

e Table Mountain Inn is located at 1310 Washington Ave. here in Golden and you can make a reservation there by calling 303-216-8040.

Now, we have to be honest here. Both of the above options may be a little out of the budget for a lot of families. e unfortunate truth is that many people are really struggling just to get by this year and really can’t a ord anything extra or special. But there is an absolutely wonderful option being o ered by the Golden Mill to create a sense of community for everyone to enjoy great food and drinks with football, and you’re all invited!

An expression of values

he great American poet Maya Angelou once proclaimed, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the rst time.” It’s a powerful, incisive statement. It cuts through the fog of dissemination, obfuscation and doublespeak. Maya’s maxim is generally quoted in context of an individual person, but it can be applied more broadly to a group, region or country. e dust is settling from the 2024 elections, and the post-mortems keep rolling in. For the most part, the experts’ analyses are like everything else seen in hindsight: 20/20, 20/30, or even 20/200 for the willfully blind.

One of my favorite “Star Trek” TV episodes is “Journey to Babel” in which the Enterprise is charged with transporting Federation ambassadors to a conference. After an ambassador is murdered, Mr. Spock states the assassination isn’t logical. e Andorian ambassador, whose race is very passionate, educates Spock about such acts: ey’re not acts of reason but of passion, he says. e motives lie not in the mind, but in the heart.

e Andorian’s point is well taken and can be applied across the spectrum of human action from murder and suicide, as I noted in “Suicide: A Personal Re ection,” to voting.

A myth persists among voters about why they choose certain candidates and support or oppose ballot initiatives. ey cling to the delusion their decisions are purely rational, based objectively on studied candidates and issues. While there’s truth in that, ultimately voters make choices based upon their feelings, which re ect their values. Given that, one can conclude the person or issue a voter supports is a testament to that voter’s personal values. Like the old saw that says you

and more. e event is open to everyone in the community, and guests can enjoy a delicious meal for free or pay what they can. All donations and a percentage of the proceeds from alcoholic beverage sales will bene t BGOLDN, a local organization dedicated to helping those in need.

Reservations certainly aren’t necessary, but in order to make sure they have enough for everybody, they would appreciate it if you RSVP and let them know if you’re coming. e Golden Mill will be open from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. so feel free to drop by anytime during those hours, RSVPs are not time speci c.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

More aging-friendly housing needed in Je co

are what you eat, you are who and what you vote for. It’s been that way since ancient Greece, but the outcome of the 2024 presidential race is particularly revealing: It clearly shows the ssure between two American value systems has exploded into a chasm. Which makes me grateful to be a Coloradan.

Like our nation’s history, Colorado’s is blotched with horri c stains like the Sand Creek Massacre. But Coloradans today broadly recognize — don’t deny — past wrongs and strive to rectify them. We take proactive measures to protect the vulnerable, like inscribing into the state constitution a woman’s fundamental right to decide what’s in her best health interests. One of our strengths by and large is we aren’t wedded to religious dogma or under the spell of an ideology. And we don’t live in dreaded fear of e Other. Heck, we even tolerate Texans during ski season although I give them a wide berth when on the slopes.

Looking across the American political landscape and seeing what citizens of other states decided, I shudder, primarily because of how it re ects their ethos. It’s a reminder, though, about why we have it good in Colorado, where ideas like censorship, book banning, and allowing women to die or be irreparably harmed because of legalized religious prescriptions and proscriptions are anathema.

Have we nally thrown in the towel on our democratic experiment? Ben Franklin said we’d have a republic as

long as we could keep it, and I’m wondering whether we’ve reached that point. e 2024 election unequivocally exposes who we are, regionally and nationally. We’re no longer one. Like during the Civil War, we’re two, di erentiated and separated by disparate value systems. We’re no longer an indivisible union, but instead the Bifurcated States of America.

Can we come back together and agree on fundamental Americanisms like liberty and justice for all, freedom of thought and expression, and not allowing government to play God like it does in Iran? Can we reunite and march anew toward that more perfect union? We did once, so I suspect we can do it again. But even if so, it’ll likely be a protracted slog, and I’ll probably age out of life before that comes to pass.

When I was coming of age in western Pennsylvania, two John Denver songs — “Rocky Mountain High” and “I Guess He’d Rather Be in Colorado” — especially captivated me. I didn’t know then why the desire to live in Colorado took root, but it got clearer as the years passed. Like so many, I found an embracing home here and have lived a ful lling and adventurous life. In addition to hiking and skiing, I’ve found my “peeps.”

But there’s more. I’ve learned the di erence between my life there and the one here was and continues to be more than about lifestyle: It’s about the di erent cultures’ ethos — their guiding principles and values — and never have those been more distinctly and starkly expressed.

Jerry Fabyanic is the author of “Sisyphus Wins” and “Food for ought: Essays on Mind and Spirit.” He lives in Georgetown.

In response to CCM reporter Suzie Glassman’s recent article in the Je co Transcript about population shifts in Je co, the League of Women Voters of Je erson County urges Je erson County to prioritize the expansion of aging-friendly housing options in its 15-Year Housing Continuum Strategic Plan. We also call for policy changes that promote community planning, accessible design standards, and opportunities for home modi cations and repairs speci cally tailored for older adults, especially those on xed incomes. It is vital for Je erson County (both unincorporated Je co and its municipalities) to proactively address the demographic shifts that are already occurring.

LWV Je co supports manufactured homes, accessory dwelling units, shared housing and accessible homes for older adults that provide ease of living with safety, security, and special accommodations, such as elevators, wide doorways, and single oor living. Currently, much of our housing stock is not equipped to meet the needs of an aging population. We strongly encourage Je erson County to focus on the creation and preservation of housing options that are dedicated to and a ordable for older adults.

Christina Manthey, President of the League of Women Voters of Je erson County

COOKING IN THE CLOUDS

Air pressure, humidity and temperature di erences have impacts on everyday cooking at mountain elevations

For well-versed mountain locals cooking at high altitudes of 7,500 feet and above, cooking things longer, adding additional water to recipes or subtracting certain ingredients is almost second nature. For others, it can be confusing, frustrating and disastrous.

ere is science behind it all, and according to Colorado State University experts, changes that in uence “cooking at altitude” start at just 3,000 feet above sea level.

Inside the Terra Building at Colorado State University Spur in Denver, the Ardent Mills Teaching and Culinary Center provides a complete modern industrial and commercial-sized kitchen and laboratory.

e Spur campus includes the Vida (health) and Hydro (water) educational buildings as well, but it’s easy to spot the Terra (cooking) building; it’s the one with the big green avocado-shaped window.

Once inside, you can see the kitchen surrounded by glass walls and gleaming stainless steel tables and shelves. Massive 10-burner industrial gas stoves and ovens to match line the walls along with a collection of cooking utensils that would be

the envy of amateur cooks everywhere. is is one of Culinary Dietitian Bailey Carr’s o ces.

Carr received her Bachelor’s degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics from Ohio State University and a degree in Culinary Arts from the Auguste Esco er School in Boulder.

Now, she is the forward face of the nutritional and cooking education classes o ered at Spur.

Carr said she creates recipes that turn into menus which she can teach to kids, adults and families. Her goal is to eliminate the fear of cooking while cooking together.

However, enjoying the cooking process coincides with successful cooking, Carr said. Knowing how and what ingredients to adjust and understanding the temperature and air pressure di erences at various altitudes is critical to success.   ere are only a couple of environmental factors that a ect high-altitude cooking — air pressure and humidity — but the implications of these two conditions on cooking are exponential, according to cooking science.

Published by CSU, “A Guide to High Elevation Food Preparation” breaks down the numbers at which changes are initiated. It is even referenced by the U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service in its high-altitude cooking material.

The basic fundamentals: Lower air pressure at altitude

Air pressure decreases as altitudes increase. In other words, the blanket of air above us is lighter, according to meteorological science.

“We are at a higher elevation, which means we have less air pressure, which really informs all of the nuances of cooking. It’s the main reason we have to adjust everything we do at altitude to achieve proper results,” Carr said.

at means many things take longer to cook, especially in water, because the boiling point of water drops with every foot of elevation, illustrated by this boiling point chart provided by CSU:

• Sea Level: 212 degrees

• 2,000 feet: 208 degrees

• 5,000 feet: 203 degrees

• 7,500 feet: 198 degrees

• 10,000 feet: 194 degrees

No matter how high the cooking temperature is, water cannot exceed its own boiling point. Even if the heat is turned up, the water will simply boil away faster and whatever you are cooking will dry out faster, according to the USDA.

For instance, a “three-minute egg” will likely take ve minutes at 5,000 feet because it’s cooking at a lower temperature.

Speci c dishes such asrice require approximately 15-20% more water and extended cook time due to the lower temperature of the boiling water, and the rice should be covered to retain the moisture, according to Carr.

A chemical reaction known as gelatinization between the water and the starch in the rice requires a certain temperature, which is made more di cult by the lower boiling point at altitude, Carr said.

Meats such as chicken or beef can require up to 15% more time to cook and dry out faster due to low humidity above 5,000 feet, according to food studies.

Cookies are especially challenging in the mountains as a balance between liquids and our must be maintained..

e high volume of sugar and fat in most cookie recipes can cause cookies to sprawl on the baking sheet. e sugar and fat are considered liquids as they liquify with heat, Carr said, suggesting a reduction in the use of baking powder or soda and fat/sugar in the recipe.

Carr suggests increasing the amount of our in the recipe and the baking temperature by approximately 25 degrees.

Slow cookers are also a ected at altitude because the contents will simmer at a lower temperature making it more di cult for the food to reach safe temperatures for bacteria to be destroyed, according to the USDA.

COOKING

e USDA suggests cooking food at a temperature of at least 200 degrees for the rst hour of cooking to ensure any bacteria is destroyed.   Most bread machines will o er tips and settings for high-elevation baking, but there are a couple of things to keep in mind, Carr said.

Typically you want to decrease yeast by a ¼ to ½ teaspoon for each 2 ½ teaspoon package called for in the recipe. Add one to two tablespoons of additional liquid per cup of our, but too much liquid could cause issues during the mixing cycle, according to Carr.

Even above 3,000 feet, cakes can be a challenge. Decreased air pressure can lead to “excessive rising,” causing the cake to fall, according to researchers.

When leavening (allowing the mixture to rise), researchers suggest reducing baking powder or soda by as much as 50% from the receipt while increasing the baking temperature by 25 degrees.

e increased temperature helps set the batter before the cells are formed and may also reduce the total baking time, according to research.

Evaporation at altitude can lead to a higher concentration of sugar, which researchers consider a liquid when cooking. Decreasing the amount of sugar in the recipe will help to sustain the cellular structure and the cake. Perhaps the pinnacle of baking at altitude is the delicate, light and akeypastry. For that, Colorado Community Media visited Edelweiss Pastry Shop at 1520 Miner St. in Idaho Springs where Chef Rebecca Hu and her partner Larry Dungan have been making sweet and savory pastries by hand since 2017.

Hu said she’s been cooking and baking since she was 12 years old in her parents’ restaurant in Glenwood Springs, “Rosi’s” opened in 1977. “It’s something I know how to do and I’m good at it,” Hu said.

“I would cook breakfast for the family and I had to stand on a chair to ip the sausages because I couldn’t reach the stovetop,” Hu said. As Hu started out cooking and baking on her own, she followed in her German heritage of making pastries and said she learned every-

thing from her mother who was originally from Bavaria.

It’s di cult for Hu to say how to adjust recipes for cooking at altitude, for her she said, “It’s just the way I do it.” However, she recognized some of the advice of other experts.

“With cake mix or dough, you’ll want to reduce the liquid, which includes sugar, and increase the our until you nd that right consistency,” she said.

Feeling the consistency of the dough is the key.

“ e thing with me is, I’ve done it so long I can tell just by the look and feel of the batter, to adjust our, I can just tell,” Hu said.

When it comes to baking ourless chocolate cakes or quiches, Hu revealed a couple of tricks of the trade.

For one, when baking ourless chocolate creations, Hu likes to put the batter in mufn cups placed onto a shallow pan with a thin layer of water under the cups to compensate for the lack of humidity during baking.

“If I don’t put the water in there when I pull them out after they’re done they sink,” Hu said.

e science of cooking or baking at altitude consists of trial and error which is eventually converted to formulas for amateur or professional chefs to follow. Spur is a good example of the science of cooking but not the soul, both Carr and Hu said.

Carr said her love for cooking started at birth but accelerated later in life when her grandmother was ill.

“It’s just been who I am, so it’s been a natural life-long passion that really grew even more when I watched my beloved grandmother become diagnosed with ovarian cancer. It was devastating.”

When her grandmother was released from the hospital, Carr said she was given a recipe book for smoothies targeted toward helpful recovery. at’s when Carr said she realized combining ingredients and cooking could do more than feed people.

“I realized that love of cooking could actually help heal or nourish people, ever since I’ve been on one track,” she said. “How can I cook and serve people in this way but also use these recipes to optimize wellness and help folks and their bodies?”

Sharing her knowledge, education and passion for cooking as a family is what Carr said feeds her soul.

“It’s ful llment, it’s the best feeling ever… to know a seed is planted in a family and they can continue to grow in it and reap the fruits and bene ts over the course of their life,” she said.

All three buildings at the CSU Spur campus in Denver are open to the public the second Saturday of every month for free cooking instruction. Details on cooking classes and events can be found at https:// csuspur.org/spur-events/.

From Lakewood to the big leagues

Cortney Clabaugh isn’t your average 21-year-old from Lakewood. While many college students juggle classes and parttime jobs, Clabaugh splits her time between earning a Business Management degree at the University of Colorado Denver and captivating rodeo audiences with her adrenaline-pumping trick-riding performances.

Clabaugh, who graduated from Green Mountain High School, discovered the world of trick riding (think gymnastics on a horse) at age 12.

“Growing up, I was drawn to gymnastics, and when I saw trick riding, it’s kind of like the perfect blend of gymnastics and horseback riding, which were two things that I loved,” she said.

She started learning how to trick ride with the Westernaires, a youth equestrian organization, where she spent a decade honing her craft before deciding to

“I knew that it was something that I wanted to do at a higher level. I just didn’t know really where to start,” she said.

Trick riding isn’t for the faint of heart.

who quali ed to write these letters because it’s not just anyone. ey have to have earned their status recently.” Clabaugh earned her permit in September 2023 after a year of working her way through the rodeo circuit. From there, she performed at ve more PRCA rodeos to secure her full card in 2024, achieving her goal in record time.

“Even at the PRCA level, you still have to prove yourself,” Clabaugh noted. “ ere are performers who have been doing this for years, and every performance is an opportunity to show that you belong.” ough winter in Colorado makes training challenging, Clabaugh is committed to her craft. “I train all year round,” she said, explaining that the unpredictable weather can make it di cult, but she nds a way to stay prepared. “It gets tough with the snow, but I always nd a way to get outside and keep my horses and myself in shape.” is intense dedication keeps her on top of her game and allows her to expand her presence in the rodeo world. While she’s performed at rodeos in Colorado, Texas and Wyoming, Clabaugh hopes her new PRCA status will help broaden her reach.

“I’m hoping that I book across the country. I want to go to new states and meet new people,” she said.

“You’re essentially hanging o your horse at high speeds,” Clabaugh explained. e sport requires immense trust and communication between rider and horse.

“You and your horse are a team,” she continued. “If either of you is o , it can get dangerous quickly. It takes a lot of time and e ort to get to the higher level.”

For Clabaugh, becoming a professional meant aiming for her Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association card, a coveted credential that’s no small feat to obtain. e journey to earn a PRCA card starts with securing a PRCA permit, which requires riders to perform at ve non-PRCA rodeos and submit evaluation reports alongside two recommendation letters, one from a top- ve specialty act and another from a top- ve rodeo announcer.

Getting those recommendations takes time,” Clabaugh said. “I had to gure out

Her success has also brought her a loyal fanbase, especially among younger audiences.

“ ere’s a lot of people who come up to you at the rodeo,” she said. “I love that I know other people are looking up to me. It’s really important to always strive to do your best because there’s always someone watching who might want to do that someday.”

With her PRCA card now in hand, Clabaugh said she continues to challenge herself and develop new skills. One of her next goals is to perfect a shoulder stand, a trick she previously mastered but is eager to improve for her solo performances.

“For me, it’s more about mental preparation and courage,” she said. “I know I can physically do it, and my horses can do it. It’s just about breaking through the mental barriers.”

How to support your community and get civically engaged

At this time of year, you may be asking yourself, “How can I make a positive impact?”

Whether the 2024 election or the spirit of the holiday season has inspired you, there are many ways you can get involved in your community and help shape its future. We spoke to Evan Weissman, founder of Warm Cookies of the Revolution, to share some ideas. e nonpro t uses art and creativity to make challenging issues more accessible through events, videos and other formats.

Identify what you’re working for or against Weissman said the rst step to creating positive change is deciding where and how to focus your energy. What do you want topreventorobstruct? What do you want to protect or construct?

“You want to be defensive about the things that you don’t like, that you want to be [in community] with other people to try to stop,” Weissman said. “ at could be volunteering with organizations that are going to be defending things that the federal government is most likely going to be attacking” he explained, listing issues such as immigration and LGBTQ rights. Weissman also encouraged people to think, “What are the constructive things that I want to be involved with civically?” is could be mentoring a student, leading a skillshare, or engaging in other actions that promote justice and equality.

Traditional approaches to civic engagement

If you’re feeling inspired to create civic change, Weissman said, there are a few ways to go about it.

You can take a typical approach, such as calling your representatives or attending city or town council meetings. Or, you can automate feedback to your representatives by subscribing to Issue Voter.  Issue Voter allows you to sign up for alerts based on your location and the topics you care about, regardless of political

a liation. Once you create an account, Weissman explained, you’ll get a message like, “Hey, this vote is coming up about military. Here’s what the proponents are saying, here’s what the objectors are saying.” en, you can simply click a button in the message and Issue Voter will send an automated email with your name and information to the appropriate representative, articulating your support for, or opposition to, the measure.

Creative approaches to civic engagement

Disinterested in, or unable to, engage in traditional approaches like writing your representative or attending a public meeting? You’re not alone.

ese approaches “can be hard for a lot of people,” Weissman admitted. “[Public meetings] are challenging because they’re often not held at good times. ey maybe don’t have all languages represented … they might not have childcare.”

Plus, taking action “with other people is pretty key,” Weissman emphasized. at’s something you don’t get from making a call or writing a letter.

“Even if you’re someone who’s shy or introverted,” Weissman said, “I still think that things don’t feel as challenging and impossible when you can do them together.”

As a part of Warm Cookies programming, residents of Aurora can also take advantage of a $500 stipend to host a civic party, and residents of Silverthorne and Leadville can participate in cross-cultural community gatherings in the coming months.

Here’s a list of accessible – and fun –ways to collaborate with others and create positive change in your community:

- Create a civically-minded book or craft club

- Lead a mutual aid fundraiser

- Start a community fridge or food pantry

- Lead a winter clothing or holiday toy drive

- Donate blood

For Clabaugh, trick riding is more than a sport; it’s a lifestyle and a passion she hopes to make her full-time career.

“Every performance is a chance to get better and connect with the audience,” she said. “Knowing that the next performance could be better than the last is

- Start an identity-based discussion or activity group

- Create and distribute care packages to people experiencing homelessness

- Volunteer at a local animal shelter or foster animals at home

- Mentor a student

- O er community yoga, meditation, tai chi or breathwork

- Lead a clean-up for a park, riverbank, or other public space

what keeps me going.”

Clabaugh will perform during the National Finals Breakaway Roping in Las Vegas this December. Local fans can catch her in action and witness her talent and dedication to the sport at the 2025 Evergreen PRCA rodeo. She also lists her whereabouts on her website.

With her eyes set on thrilling more audiences and perfecting her craft, Clabaugh is determined to take trick riding to new heights, one breathtaking performance at a time.

- Volunteer as a conversationalist to help someone learn a new language

- Donate money or other resources to a cause you believe in

Golden View Classical Academy enjoys historic fall sports finish

Boys golf, boys cross country teams win state titles to make school history

Not one but two teams from Golden View Classical Academy, a small K-12 charter school in Golden, managed to make history in their fall sports nales.

Boys golf

It was the rst year the Colorado High School Activities Association introduced 2A boys golf, and the GVCA Sentinels made the most of the inaugural season.

e boys team, coached by Chris Todd, won the 2A state championship in dramatic fashion after almost surrendering their ve-stroke lead over Monte Vista.

“I knew we had a chance (going into the season). We have really good players,” Todd said on CHSAA adding a 2A division. “But everything would have to happen perfectly.”

While No. 1 and No. 2 golfers for the Sentinels, David omson and Collen Todd, held their own with scores of 152 (state runner-up and second overall in individual results) and 161 (seventh), respectively, it was other unsung heroes who came through to claim the title.

“It was going to come down to the No. 3 and No. 4 players for actually being able to compete for a state title,” Todd said.

Enter junior Luke Chronowski. Todd said Chronowski’s scoring average throughout the year was something like 94, but at state, he posted scores of 86 and 90 in rounds one and two to nish 32nd out of 84 golfers.

“If David and Collen both played perfectly, we still could have won if Luke shot his average,” Todd said. “But they didn’t, and I think we only won by two shots.”

Going into next year, the Sentinels will lose omson to graduation, but bring back Collen Todd, who is only a sophomore, juniors Chronowski and Matthew Traudt, who shot 195 to nish 71st.

Todd won the 2A Boys Golf Coach of the Year. It’s just the third year that GVCA has a golf team.

“ at meant a lot to me,” he said. “I put in tons of time. I don’t get paid. I do it all as a volunteer. I have been pushing them to have a golf team for four or ve years. It’s important to me, and I’m proud of it. It’s kind of silly; CHSAA just makes the Coach of the Year whoever wins the state for each division, which is not probably the case all the time.”

But for now, GVCA Golf will enjoy making history and shining a light on a previously tucked-away program. Golfers in the state will take notice and there will be a target on the Sentinels’ back next year, but Todd will be ready for it.

Mines cross country teams advance to national championships

Members of the Colorado School of Mines men’s cross country team celebrate finishing first at the Nov. 9 NCAA Division II regionals at Denver’s Washington Park. Additionally, the Mines women’s team finished second, and both teams will compete at the Nov. 23 NCAA Division II national championships.

Men claim gold, women take silver at Wash Park regional meet

Like o -road vehicles, Orediggers are built to thrive in all kinds of terrains and conditions, even snow and mud. e Colorado School of Mines cross country men’s and women’s teams punched their ticket to the NCAA Division II national championships after nishing rst and second, respectively,

Boys cross country

Last year, Golden View Classical Academy won the school’s rst boys cross country title in program history, and they still weren’t satis ed.

“Everybody leading up to this in the program has had some ambitious goals,” said Head Coach Amanda Gilmore. “ ese guys were the rst ones who had the state championship in their sights and really felt like they could accomplish it. And de nitely weren’t satis ed with the one.”

In 2023, the Sentinels dominated the competition to claim the rst title, despite managing the nerves of never having been to the top before. But that’s not how it went his year, Gilmore said. “We’re a little bit in the dark,” Gilmore said. “We had never raced against Crested Butte in particular, because they’re on the other side of the mountain, so we weren’t really sure what to expect from them. And then we actually ended up having a bunch of guys get sick the week of state. One had pneumonia, and a couple of them had some respiratory illnesses too. So it really was not like it did not happen the way they pictured it.”

Still, the Sentinels won the team title with 47 points — beating second-place Crested Butte by 19 points.

Colorado School of Mines junior Paul Knight, center, competes at the Nov. 9 NCAA Division II regionals at Denver’s Washington Park. Knight finished fifth overall in the men’s 10K race, helping his team finish first and advance to the Nov. 23 NCAA Division II national championships.

at the Nov. 9 regional meet at Denver’s Washington Park.

Both teams’ top seven runners will compete at the Nov. 23 national championships in Sacramento.

Last year, the men’s and women’s teams nished second and third, respectively, at the NCAA Division II championships eir opponents include familiar RMAC foes like Adams State, Colorado Christian, Colorado Mesa, CSU Pueblo, Fort Lewis, UCCS and Western Colorado.

On Nov. 9, the NCAA Division II South Central Championship meet’s start time was pushed back several hours after

ree Sentinels nished in the top 20.

Bobby Kiesewetter nished eighth at 16:56.8, which was the Sentinels’ best time. Huckleberry Hale nished 15th and Luke Wahl nished 19th.

Peter Langedyk nished 22nd, Anthony Acocella nished 47th and Adam Hehn nished 89th to round out the team performance for the Sentinels.

“ ere were some guys on the team who hadn’t been able to be on that state championship team because we can only run six who really wanted to be part of that. So they were able to make the state team this year and be part of the state championship as seniors.”

e challenge now is keeping the new standard of success going. Of the six runners at state this year, four are seniors who will graduate in the spring.

But the culture has ipped, from preparation to performance on race day and everything in between.

“I think that (the seniors’) impact on the team and the standard that they set for what training looks like, what o season training looks like … I think it will carry on for quite a while,” Gilmore said.

“We’ve got a couple young guys who were kind of right on the bubble of making that team and are just really motivated now. ey want to be there next year. (We) de nitely need to be hungry. at’s why I think they were successful the last couple years. ey just wanted it really badly, and they put in just an outrageous amount of work and miles to make it happen.”

a snowstorm swept through the Denver area, leaving the Wash Park course snowy and muddy.

However, the Orediggers charged ahead and claimed top 10 spots in both the men’s 10K and women’s 6K races.

For the women, senior Jenna RamseyRutledge led the charge and took third place among all 6K racers.

Teammate Lexi Herr placed eighth overall; Grace Strongman, 16th; Emily LaMena, 22nd; Imani Fernandez-Gorbea, 26th; and Margaux Basart, 29th.

Sophomore Josie Mejia was Mines’nal runner, nishing 39th. For the men’s race, the top three Orediggers — Jeremiah Vaille, Paul Knight and Logan Bocovich — took fourth, fth and sixth place, respectively. en, Ethan Grolnic and Dawson Gunn helped clinched Mines’ regional title by placing claiming 12th and 13th places, respectively. e Orediggers’ nal runners, Braden Struhs and Max Bonenberger, nished in the top 50.

Description of Work Done to Apply the Water Right to Beneficial Use: Applicant requests a finding that it has made the subject water right described in paragraph 3 above absolute, as described in paragraph 5 below. If the Court determines that Applicant has not made the subject water right absolute in the amount requested, or that Applicant has only made a portion of the subject water right absolute, Applicant seeks in the alternative a finding that it has exercised reasonable diligence in the development of the subject water right described in paragraph 3 above, for all conditional amounts and uses. During the subject diligence period, Applicant’s efforts toward development of the subject water rights include, but are not limited to, the following: 4.1. The subject water right is part of an integrated water supply system to provide a unified water supply and wastewater system for Highlands Ranch. Applicant spent a total of approximately $150,026,000 on water and wastewater system improvements. Improvements were made to Applicant’s raw water storage facilities, raw water source of supply, water treatment plant, booster pump stations, treated water storage reservoirs, wastewater treatment plant, water infrastructure, groundwater wells, and wastewater infrastructure. 4.2. The Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company, formed in 2015, conducts business to satisfy both the federal and state financial and mitigation obligations of members related to the Chatfield Storage Reallocation Project. During the diligence period, Applicant has paid annual assessments for the operations of the Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company totaling $2,725,450. 4.3. Applicant has supported the Chatfield Storage Reallocation Project by continuously being a member on each of the following three project management committees: the Board of Directors of the Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company, the Project Coordination Team, and the Operations Advisory Committee. 4.4. Applicant continues to operate its integrated water system to provide water service to its current and future customers. 4.5. Applicant continues to file statements of opposition to numerous Water Court applications to protect Applicant’s water rights, including the water rights subject to this Application. 5. Request to Make Water Right Absolute: Applicant diverted and stored 4,100 acre-feet in Chatfield Reservoir on May 12, 13, and 14, 2023, and concurrently applied the water to beneficial use for recreation. Applicant’s accounting records from May, 2023 are attached hereto as Exhibit B. The entire stored amount of 4,100 acre-feet of water in Chatfield Reservoir was used in the reservoir for recreational purposes. The entire stored amount of 4,100 acre-feet, minus the amount lost to evaporation, was then released and used for municipal purposes by Centennial within Centennial’s service area between July 16, 2023 and August 6, 2024. Applicant’s accounting records from July, 2023 to August, 2024 are attached hereto as Exhibit C. An affidavit made by Applicant’s Water Rights Administrator in support of the accounting records is attached as Exhibit D. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-301(4)(e), “[a] decreed conditional water storage right shall be made absolute for all decreed purposes to the extent of the volume of the appropriation that has been captured, possessed, and controlled at the decreed storage structure.” Accordingly, Applicant requests that the Chatfield Reservoir water storage right described in paragraph 3 be made absolute for all decreed uses identified in paragraph 3.7, in the absolute amount of 4,100 acre-feet with an appropriation date of August 24, 1984. 6. Name and address of owner of land upon which any new diversion or storage structure or modification to an existing diversion or storage structure or existing storage pool is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored: No new diversion or storage structures are or will be constructed and no modifications to existing diversion or storage structures or existing storage pool are or will be constructed. The land on which Chatfield Reservoir is located is owned by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, 9307 South Wadsworth Blvd., Littleton, CO 80128. WHEREFORE, the Applicant requests the Court to enter a decree making the Chatfield Reservoir storage right absolute in the amount of 4,100 acre-feet, for the uses described in paragraph 3.7, so that the Applicant may continue to divert and store up 4,100 acre-feet per year under the Chatfield Reservoir storage right as described in paragraph 3, and that the Court grant such other relief as it may deem just and proper.

CHAMPIONS

Earlier this season, Coach Chris Siemers said having regionals at Wash Park gave Orediggers and other local runners a noticeable advantage, as they didn’t have to travel two weeks before the national meet.

“Any time you travel, especially to another time zone, you’re compromising your sleep,” Siemers said in early September. “ at’s the most important thing for a college student-athlete, especially at Mines.”

Regarding the Nov. 23 national meet in Sacramento, Siemers said the Orediggers did well the last time the teams competed there. He described the course as “honest,” and was con dent the Mines men’s and women’s teams would build on last year’s second- and third-place national nishes, respectively.
