SPECIAL HOMETOWN HOLIDAYS EDITION

‘Where history and mystery converge’

Golden seventh graders host escape room-themed showcase for their families

Many believe Gertrude Bell’s ghost haunts the school named after her.

A longtime teacher in Golden, Gertrude Bell died in 1963 — the same year Bell Middle School opened. Many believe her “unsettling presence lingers” in the building and grows angrier every year as her legacy is forgotten.

be able to leave the school — “where history and mystery converge” — without solving a series of puzzles to prove they remember Bell and her legacy.

“Keep your wits about you,” an instructional video warned them. “ … Give her the recognition she so desperately craves.” is year’s seventh-grade class organized and hosted an escape room for its annual showcase, with their families having to solve a series of challenges based on the students’ math, science, language arts and social studies curricula.

out the school building. e exact challenges were unique based on the student. But, for each challenge their families solved, they received a “key.” A family needed ve keys to “escape” the school, with several families stopping to take pictures with “We escaped” signs on their way out.

Sophia DeCarlo said she had fun building challenges for her dad, Marco, to solve. She appreciated seeing so many families stop by to participate in the escape room-themed showcase.

Marco, a Bell graduate himself, said his class never did anything like this when he attended the school. He was proud of his daughter and her classmates for putting it on.

Dad Cory Allen was likewise proud of his son, Cayden, and his classmates for putting together an escape room like this. He said if it’d been a real escape room, he’d give it a ve-star review.

Golden to buy 6 apartments to preserve as a ordable housing Purchase represents a first for the city

To preserve naturally occurring a ordable housing units and allow several Goldenites to stay in their homes, the City of Golden is buying six apartment units at 1501 Ford St.

During its Nov. 12 meeting, the City Council approved buying four two-bedroom units and two one-bedroom units for $1,350,000 total, or $225,000 per unit, which sta members said is in line with local market prices. e city will use American Rescue Plan Act funds it received during the COVID-19 pandemic to buy the units, and sta has recommended setting aside an additional $500,000 in ARPA funds to do future property improvements. e property owners were scheduled to complete some improvements to the property by Dec. 1, and the closing date was slated for Dec. 18.

Steve Glueck, assistant to the city manager, said the current tenants all live on month-tomonth leases and are anxious to stay in their homes. He told the councilors these six households would otherwise be displaced if the city didn’t buy the property, and the current owners wanted to work with the city to ensure the current tenants could stay. While the city has focused before on building a ordable housing and/or workforce housing units, Glueck said preserving existing units is a worthwhile goal that can be equally di cult to achieve.

Marco said Sophia had been talking about it all day, betting he wouldn’t be able to escape. e challenges were di cult, he said, with the social studies one being the hardest, but he managed to earn all ve keys and “escape.”

Cayden’s geology-themed challenge was especially difcult, even for someone with a professional geology background like Cory.

Cayden said he enjoyed coming up with all the di erent materials to build the challenges, especially his English/language arts one.

“One of the problems we face … is that once things go on the market, things go very quickly, and oftentimes it’s di cult to compete,” he said. “In this case, the property owners were committed to trying to work with us.”

ESCAPE ROOM

Along with the four challenges in math, science, ELA and social studies, families earned the fth key by touring the Cherry Arts Mobile Art Gallery on display in the school library.

Students like seventh grader Sophia Schatz served as docents, guiding the families through some of the 29 pieces in the collection.

Schatz said she and her colleagues spent two weeks learning all of the pieces, and she was excited and honored to be chosen as a docent.

For the seventh-grade showcase, she explained, each docent was supposed to take families through a few of their favorite pieces, including a piece that they felt captured the spirit of Gertrude Bell.

Schatz said she liked the storyline behind the escape room, and was thrilled that Bell Middle School was able to host not only the seventhgrade showcase but the Cherry Arts Mobile Art Gallery as well.

Escape Room: Round 2?

Social studies teacher Molly Kavanaugh thanked all the parents and family members who stopped by the Nov. 14 showcase, emphasizing how the school has a very supportive community.

Bell Middle School has hosted a seventh-grade showcase in the fall and an eighth-grade showcase in the spring for at least 10 years, with varying formats for both. ELA teacher Lori Ranney said this was the rst time Bell Middle School hosted an escape room-style showcase, after the seventh-grade teachers came up with the idea during a planning day.

Based on everyone’s positive feedback from the Nov. 14 showcase, Ranney said Bell Middle School may keep this escape room theme and format next time.

“Showcases are one of the ways that we are able to bring parents and community into the building to celebrate student learning,” Ranney continued.

So, to anyone who visits Bell Middle School anytime soon, keep Gertrude Bell and her legacy in mind, or it may be di cult to “escape.”

Happy Thanksgiving! This Is When I Like to Share What and Whom I Am Grateful for

Just being healthy is something anyone should be grateful for, especially at my age of 77. I’m doubly blessed, because my wife Rita, 76, is also healthy! Our siblings, children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and other relatives are healthy, too.

All of us are aware that not everyone is as lucky as we are, so philanthropic giving is a trait I think all of us share, and I know many readers of this column do, too. And our broker associates, who responded as one to sponsoring and providing side dishes for Dignity Tuesday, share that trait, too. Last week, as a group we donated food to Dignity Tuesday for people less fortunate than us . The event took place at Golden Pantry and Thrift, formerly the Christian Action Guild.

this long-running newspaper column. I particularly appreciate those readers who take the time to write to me, suggesting topics they want me to write about or making me aware of an issue that might have escaped my attention. Therefore, I have to say that I’m especially grateful to the publications who have made it possible for me to publish this column so widely.

er demographic that is perfect for this column. Those are my most faithful readers — although some of them object to my progressive views!

stay ahead of the competition.” I couldn’t stay as informed as I am — and keep my readers informed — without Inman in my back pocket. I mean, my inbox!

I’m grateful for Chuck Lontine, the owner of The Cloud, 96.9 FM, who organized Dignity Tuesday, which he started during the pandemic. He is a man with a big heart, and I salute him.

I’m grateful for the community we live in and for the larger metro Denver community. As most of you know, Dec. 10th is Colorado Gives Day, and I recently learned about its origins. It was started in 2010, when it was reported that Colorado was 50th on the list of states when it came to charitable giving. Thanks to the Colorado Gives Foundation, Colorado now ranks at the top of that list.

When thinking about who I’m grateful for, our clients — most of whom came to us from reading this column each week — come to mind immediately. Thank you for calling me, so I don’t have to call you! It is so nice that I don’t have to sell myself to prospective sellers and buyers. They come to me “pre-sold” thanks to

Thank you, Linda Shapley, the publisher of Colorado Community Media, for making it possible for this column to appear is all 24 of your weekly newspapers. And, I should add thanks to the National Trust for Local News and the Colorado Sun, which purchased CCM in 2021 with a commitment to saving community newspapers. If it weren’t for them and their non-profit model, some of those 24 newspapers, including this one, might not be around today.

My first big newspaper contract was with the Rocky Mountain News, when they created the YourHub section in 2005. When the Rocky ceased publishing in 2009, YourHub was the only piece of the Rocky which The Denver Post picked up and promoted. I like to think that my full-page ad 52 times per year might be a factor in justifying YourHub’s continuation. Thank you, The Denver Post, for continuing that publication so that I can continue reaching your readers all across the metro area.

Lastly, in this department, my thanks to Dan Johnson of the Denver Gazette for soliciting my account this October and making an offer I couldn’t refuse to include this full-page ad in your digital newspaper. Typical of printed newspapers, the Gazette has a mature homeown-

Moving, Even Locally, Can Cost You a Lot

At Golden Real Estate, we like to save you money wherever we can. For example, we have a handyman who can help you get your home ready to show or fix inspection issues at the client-only rate of $30/ hour.

We also have a box truck which you can use prior to, during and after closing, not just for moving to your new home, but making those dump runs or runs to Goodwill for donating all that stuff you accumulated over the years!

and packing material, including bubble wrap, so don’t buy any yourself.

We’ve been offering the use of this truck since 2004. In fact, this is our second truck. It’s hard to estimate how much money we have saved our buyers and sellers, but it must be several hundred thousands of dollars.

We also provide free moving boxes

We also make the truck available free to nonprofits and local organizations, such as Family Promise and BGoldN, which uses it to do pickups from Food Bank of the Rockies for local food banks.

The sellers bought this home at 5948 Routt Street from the builder 53 years ago, and it’s time to sell. You’ll be impressed by the exterior and interior improvements made by the seller through the years. For example, a sunroom was added over the back of the garage (visible in this picture) which is open to the kitchen and which opens to a deck with stairs down to a wood deck in the backyard. All the rooms have either hardwood or manufactured hardwood floors. The updated kitchen has an 18-inch ceramic tile floor, quartz countertop with undermount stainless steel sink and newer appliances. All the bathrooms have been updated, too. Even the driveway was updated with new concrete in an attractive pattern. You’ll love watching the sunset from the deck outside the front door next to the garage. Video tour and pictures at www.ArvadaHome.info. Open Saturday 11am to 1pm.

I’m also grateful to my professional colleagues, especiallyfellow Realtors, who are among my most regular readers. And the Realtor association itself (the Denver Metro Association of Realtors or DMAR) does important work keeping us up to date on industry developments.

Just as important, in that regard, is the Inman News, which provides an endless stream of important email newsletters keeping me abreast of industry developments, innovations and challenges, which sometimes inspire a topic for this column. It describes itself as “the leading real estate news source for real estate agents, Realtors, brokers, real estate executives and real estate technology leaders who need the latest real estate news, insights and analysis to grow their business and

Many Agents Are Taking a Continuing Education Class That Will Be Obsolete on January 1st

All licensed real estate professionals in Colorado are required to take the Annual Commission Update (ACU) class as part of their continuing education requirement to stay licensed.

The class can be taken at any time during the calendar year, with a new version introduced each January.

At Golden Real Estate, I incentivize our broker associates by reimbursing the $40 cost of the 4-hour class if they take it in January. It can be taken either online or in-person. That’s how important I think it is to be current on the everevolving rules that we must comply with and to learn about the latest revisions to the contract forms we must use.

Many licensees, however, don’t take this CE class until the last minute. I asked some of the major providers of the course for their enrollment figures to see how many licensees wait until the 4th quarter to take the class.

One of the biggest providers of CE classes is DMAR’s PEAK program, and Lisa Kallweit, DMAR’s director of member services, couldn’t give me this quarter’s enrollment numbers, but provided these numbers for the 4th quarter of the last three years.

2021 - 429 agents

2022 - 372 agents

2023 - 331 agents

Another big provider is Educated Minds. They have 393 agents enrolled so far this quarter and reported these numbers for the past three years:

2021 - 802 agents

2022 - 719 agents

2023 - 652 agents

It seems such a waste to take the ACU class at the end of the year, when the new ACU class is coming in January. Also, how many things did agents learn in December that they should have known 10 months earlier?

Our agents have listed and sold homes throughout the Denver Metro area.

HOUSING

He later explained how this purchase represents a rst for Golden, as the city has never bought existing a ordable housing units before.

e city owns two single-family homes at 230 Depot St. and 1020 Archer St., both of which it purchased in 2021 as inholdings from Molson Coors related to the forthcoming Heart of Golden project. Glueck stated he expected the homes

would eventually “be replaced by other uses.”

Golden also owns the land under the Canyon Gate a ordable senior housing project along Eighth Street, however Foothills Regional Housing owns and operates the building, he said.

Foothills Regional Housing also manages the 230 Depot St. and 1020 Archer St. properties on the city’s behalf and will do the same for the 1501 Ford St. units.

Glueck con rmed that the current tenants’ monthly rents vary from $900 to $1,500 based on unit size and tenure.

Once the current tenants transition to

Regional Housing, Glueck said total rent from the Ford Street units should be about $7,300 a month. e city’s property management agreement states Foothills Regional Housing receives 8% of rental revenue and reimbursement for any direct repair or improvement costs.

Glueck told the councilors rental revenue will go into the city’s Housing Trust Fund.

e councilors believed it was crucial to preserve the city’s existing a ordable housing units, while also partnering with developers to ensure new units are built. ey voted 6-0 to authorize the purchase, sent.

Mayor Pro Tem Rob Reed, who led the meeting in Weinberg’s absence, felt it was a win-win-win, as buying 1501 Ford St. would preserve the existing structure, allow Goldenites to stay in their homes, and protect the neighborhood by ensuring a developer didn’t buy the property.

Councilor Paul Haseman added: “Additional housing of any kind is good, but this preserves some that is already (affordable). I’m very pleased that we can allow people that work in Golden to live in Golden. … It’s good for sustainability, and it’s good for Golden.”

The City of Golden is planning to buy six apartments across two buildings at 1501 Ford St., both seen here from the north on Nov. 19, for $1.3 million.

Trial for Golden-area RV murder case pushed to late April

e jury trial for Donald Harris, the 52-year-old defendant in the Goldenarea RV murder case, has been rescheduled to April 28-May 9.

e trial was slated to start Nov. 4, however the judge declared a mistrial after the prosecution and defense ran out of jurors during jury selection, the District Attorney’s O ce con rmed.

Harris is now scheduled to appear via video for a status conference at 11:45 a.m. Dec. 11 at the Je erson County Courthouse. e parties are expected to discuss his speedy trial deadline.

Harris has pleaded not guilty to murdering Matthew Hire, 57, who was found dead of a gunshot wound in his own RV last year.

Je erson County Sheri ’s O ce investigators believe Hire was killed in late March 2023, but his body wasn’t found until mid-April when a deputy found his RV door swinging open in the Goldenarea Wooly Mammoth Park-N-Ride lot.

Harris — an acquaintance of Hire’s — has been charged with rst-degree murder, a felony charge of possession of a weapon by a previous o ender, and two sentence enhancers.

Harris, who’s in custody in Denver for a separate case, had a $2 million cash-only bond set in the murder case.

History of the case

During Harris’ preliminary hearing in August 2023, Je co Sheri ’s O ce in-

vestigators testi ed how, on the night of March 25, 2023, Hire’s RV was parked outside the Golden hotel where Harris and his girlfriend were staying. Harris and Hire were in the RV, and Harris reportedly didn’t come back to the hotel room that night and didn’t answer his phone.

e next morning, the RV was gone and Harris wouldn’t tell his girlfriend where

he’d been, the investigators said.

Harris’ girlfriend later told investigators how, before Hire’s death, she’d overheard Harris and another friend talk about having access to Hire’s money and how they were going to “rip him o .”

According to the Sheri ’s O ce, cell phone data showed both Harris and Hire’s phones were at the Wooly Mammoth lot between 3-3:30 p.m. March 26.

However, a few hours later, a Golden Police Department o cer contacted Harris at the local Home Depot and arrested him on outstanding warrants in Denver.

After Hire’s body was found inside the RV on April 14, 2023, JCSO investigators examined the items Harris had when he was arrested and found a jacket with Hire’s blood on it. Harris also had Hire’s cell phone and keys to storage containers inside Hire’s RV.

Investigators also reviewed messages Harris sent and received while he was in jail, where he reportedly coordinated with friends to hide evidence, such as the RV itself and his girlfriend’s Jeep. In searching the Jeep, investigators found a .22-caliber revolver that’s believed to be the murder weapon. It had a single red shot in it, which matched the bullet fragments found in Hire’s body. e revolver also had Hire and Harris’ DNA on it, investigators stated.

During the Aug. 11, 2023 preliminary hearing, Harris’ defense attorneys contested the rst-degree murder charge, saying there was little to no indication of any premeditation or physical evidence the homicide took place in the RV. JCSO investigators con rmed there was no visible blood spatter, and all the tested surfaces were negative for blood. ere also wasn’t anything to indicate a gun had been red in the RV, or that the RV had been cleaned, the defense argued. “ ere’s no evidence this homicide even happened in Je erson County,” one of Harris’ attorneys said. “ … ( e prosecution) hasn’t presented any evidence as to where the homicide might have occurred.”

Families urge state to support dyslexia screening

“I want to tell you the story of my daughter, Mackenzie,” Parent Bri Luna said, her voice trembling as she stood before Colorado’s Board of Education.

“Mackenzie was a vivacious, bubbly, enthusiastic ve-year-old when I dropped her o at kindergarten,” Luna said. “Her nickname was ‘Little Miss Sunshine.’”

But Makenzie’s early struggles with reading soon spiraled into years of frustration and anxiety, she explained.

Despite pleas and numerous teacher conferences, Mackenzie wasn’t screened for dyslexia. Instead, she received interventions that didn’t address her core needs. By middle school, her anxiety had worsened, requiring medication. In high school, she missed weeks of school due to overwhelming stress, Luna said. It wasn’t until Mackenzie’s mother pursued a degree in literacy that she recognized her daughter’s symptoms as classic signs of dyslexia. Now 23, Mackenzie still grapples with self-doubt.

“I think about what would have changed if she had been screened in kindergarten,” Luna said.

Mackenzie’s struggle is one of countless stories shared by parents desperate for the state to change its approach to dyslexia screening.

Advocates have pushed for mandatory screening for years, but e orts to pass legislation have failed.

When the Colorado Department of Ed-

ucation recently recommended adding a mandate to the state’s READ Act requiring districts to use early literacy assessments that include dyslexia indicators in another 2-3 years, many decided they could no longer remain silent.

“ ere are just under 250,000 students in grades K-3 in Colorado,” said co-chair of the statewide dyslexia advocacy group COKID Lindsay Drakos. “KID” stands for “Kids Identi ed with Dyslexia.”

“By not screening for another four years, we will be missing an estimated 120,000 kids in the next few years, using 12% as a conservative estimate of dyslexia occurrence,” Drakos continued.

Calls for immediate action

Colorado remains one of only seven states that does not mandate dyslexia screening, despite annual recommendations from the Dyslexia Working Group since 2020. e group, formed in 2019, was created to advise the Department of Education on literacy issues and push for better support for students with dyslexia.

“Screening is critical because having our teachers understand what they’re seeing with their students is very important,” said Elisa Sodja, cofounder of Jeffco KID. “It impacts how they help them, how they support them and how they teach them.”

Sodja’s partner at Je co KID, Jen Halsall, agreed. “It’s critical that the screening occurs. It’s a clarifying lens written for our teachers. And that’s the piece that I think is critical across the country.”

Yet, each year, their calls for universal

screening have gone unanswered. While advocates propose fully-funded screening starting as early as next school year, the Department of Education advocates a slower approach.

ey plan to add dyslexia indicators to the READ Act assessment rubric, a process that would not be implemented until 2027 at the earliest.

e reason for the lack of urgency in the department is unclear. However, Shelbie Konkle, a lobbyist for the Department of Education, suggested budget constraints and opposition to any “new unfunded mandates” could provide a barrier to universal dyslexia screening legislation.

MUST READ. GREAT FOR BOOK CLUBS.

A womanizing US president. Gin-drinking, poker-playing, skirt-chasing Cabinet members. And a plot from the inside to usurp control of the Navy’s oil reserves. Wild and juicy stuff this. And all of it a true chapter of America’s history.

There may not be another US scandal that is so heavy with corruption and criminality that weighs so lightly on our collective consciousness as the Teapot Dome Scandal. From 1920 to 1922, power-hungry politicians and corporate tycoons boldly schemed to steal the nation’s newest energy resourcel. In so doing these crooks put a black mark on the pioneering work of those who gave birth to Wyoming’s incredible bonanza.

With a deft researcher’s hand and the heart and attention of a creative writer, Constance Bierkan has written a rst-of-its-kind ctionalized recounting of what led up to this nearly forgotten nugget from the past, the Teapot Dome Scandal. Like No Place on Earth is a spirited coming-of-age story set in Wyoming at the start of the madcap Roaring Twenties and the birth of the oil industry. As much a love story as it is a historical deep-dive, Like No Place on Earth will be irresistible to book clubs and history buffs alike.

Constance Bierkan grew up in Zürich, Switzerland and London, England. She sat her Ordinary and Advanced Level exams administered by the University of London while in high school at Francis Holland and earned a BA in English Literature with a minor in Semantics from Skidmore College and Goucher College. She also worked toward a Master’s at Fair eld University in Psychology. Bierkan’s debut novel, Alone In A Crowded Room - An Adoption Story, published in 2017, received a Kirkus Star and was named Kirkus Best Book Indie 2018. Free To Breathe is her second outing and it captures one boy’s struggle to emerge from an abusive family and nd authentic loving relationships. Her third, In Spite of It All, is a historical ction piece, wherein the history of Hitler’s propaganda art is married to a race of high jinks to rescue it from the wrong hands. Fluent in French and German, Bierkan loves to read, people watch, work puzzles, travel and off-road in her badass Jeep Wrangler. She and her best friend-husband-Naval-Aviator-veteran-airline-pilotgentlemantree-farmer, live at 8,200 feet in the Rocky Mountains.

Dyslexia screening advocates argue delaying legislation could result in thousands of children not getting the help they need.

Evergreen cartographer turns sewing hobby into a thriving business

Je Orlowski’s Evergreen Threadworks will be featured at the upcoming Frostival event

One of Je Orlowski’s earliest memories is sitting next to his mother at her sewing machine while she worked on projects. at hobby was largely forgotten as the Wisconsin native became a National Park Service cartographer, moved to Evergreen and started a family.

But when COVID-19 shut the world down in 2020, Orlowski returned to his childhood craft. Today, what started as a pandemic pastime has turned into a thriving small business.

“I like a hobby like sewing where you make something tangible,” Orlowski said. “Now it’s a hobby that’s turned into a side hustle.”

Orlowski sews fanny packs, satchels, biking and ski bags, backpacks and custom truck accessories under the name Evergreen readworks. He’ll have a booth featuring some of his products at the Evergreen Park & Recreation District’s upcoming Frostival, a holiday event set from 2 to 6 p.m. Dec. 1 at the Buchanan Park ball elds.

For Orlowski, his career and hobby give him the best of both worlds. As a Denver-based park service Geographic Information Systems specialist, he travels to national parks across the country to create maps of all kinds.

“I’ve mapped everything from a T-Rex still in the ground and the sprinkler system at the Little Bighorn Battle eld to glaciers at Grand Teton and park visitor maps,” he said. “Parks are basically little cities. You never know what they need.

“It’s so much fun,” he continued. “Even if I won the lottery, I would still keep this job.”

While map making is artistic, sewing lets him indulge his creativity in a di erent way. It’s also satisfying because Orlowski’s products often provide practical solutions to problems.

“I started sewing masks during the pandemic,” he said. “ en I randomly thought, why not try a bag? People needed a way to carry masks and hand sanitizer, and I’ve always loved bags. A good bag helps you carry your stu and makes your experience in the mountains better.

“I made two fanny packs for my wife and daughter. Someone o ered to buy number three. Now I’m at about 390.”

An avid mountain biker and skier, Orlowski was also frustrated in searching for gear to bike and camp.

“ at’s when I realized there was a need for locally made, custom bike bags,” he said. His waist bags, sling bags and fanny packs work well for walkers, hikers and bikers, and quickly became his best sellers. But Orlowski also likes the challenge of meeting niche needs.

A friend asked him to make a tailgate extension that would cover his feet while sleeping in his truck bed. Word got out about Orlowski’s practical, but otherwise hard-to- nd product, and he’s made about 75 of them since.

“I like to make the bag work for what somebody needs it for,” he said. “If I say yes to an idea, I gure out how to make it all work. ere’s geometry behind making the bags or truck products; it takes a blend of math, science and art to make it work.”

at’s proven to be a winning formula, as existing customers have spread the word

about his products to others.

“I started a Facebook and Instagram account for Evergreen readworks, but most of my sales have been word-of-mouth,” said Orlowski, who also sells some of his products at Evergreen’s Bivouac Co ee and Black Fox Provisions. “I’ve created items for people in France, Germany, Norway and most of the States.”

Orlowski also takes pride in making his products not just practical, but fun.

“Most bags you buy tend to be black and kind of boring,” he said. “I like to make it functional and try to add a little style to it. Because I make each item myself, people can always reach out and tell me what colors they want.”

He also sees a crossover in the skills he uses for his full-time job and those needed in sewing.

“Sewing is a lot like cartography,” he said. “Where you create maps data, you may be tracing the edges of a river. It’s similar to sewing along the edges of pattern pieces.”

While Evergreen readworks is gaining a following, Orlowski doesn’t plan to hire help or move beyond his basement workshop.

“Right now, I want to improve my skills and make better bags for people,” he said. “I like the craftsmanship. I like overthinking every stitch. And I don’t really want to give up the hands-on aspect. At the size it is now, I can focus on quality and making bags I’d be interested in using.

“I’m not going to be able to retire o it,” he continued. “It’s just rewarding to see people get excited about a bag they’ve had in their mind for a while and to actually be able to make it for them. I used to wake up early and go skiing and biking; now I wake up early to sew.”

SCREENING

FROM PAGE 6

The cost of delayed action e stakes are high. Research suggests that dyslexia a ects 20% of the population and represents 80–90% of all those with learning disabilities.

Without proper screening and intervention, many will struggle academically, with implications extending well beyond the classroom.

During public comment, one speaker shared a personal story about a relative whose dyslexia went undiagnosed, leading to a lifetime of hardships, including encounters with the criminal justice system.

“He was never identi ed, and it changed the course of his life,” she said, her voice heavy with emotion. “Early identi cation could have made all the di erence.”

Without proper interventions, children with undiagnosed dyslexia often require more intensive and expensive support services later on. Advocates argue that investing in screening and early support now would improve outcomes and reduce long-term costs for schools.

Small changes, big impact

Advocates pointed out that some currently approved assessments used under the READ Act could e ectively screen for dyslexia with minor modications.

“ ere are two assessments already in use by roughly 65% of the state,” Drakos said. “By adding a few subtests, we could screen all children for an additional $1 to $1.5 million — a fraction of what we might otherwise spend in remedial e orts.”

Yet even these incremental steps have met resistance. e Department of Education has cited concerns about preparation time and funding availability. For parents, the reluctance to act feels like yet another instance of a system prioritizing red tape over their children’s needs.

“We’ve heard the same excuses for years,” said Amy Dobronyi, another parent advocate who spoke during public comment. “Districts need more time, there’s not enough money, we have to wait for systems to be in place. Meanwhile, other states are acting, and we’re still talking.”

Halsall highlighted the critical need

for screening and identi cation: “ ey’re probably doing twice as much work trying to gure out how to help the kid. And if you have the screening and identi cation, that child is not going to be...in the meetings with teachers asking, ‘How do we help this kid? What’s going on?’ It’s, ‘Here’s the answer. is is why. Now we know how to help them.’”

The human face of dyslexia

For many parents who spoke at the board meeting, the issue of dyslexia screening is deeply personal. ey shared stories of children who had fallen behind their peers, whose self-esteem had plummeted and whose frustration had boiled over into behavioral issues.

One mother spoke of her son, who struggled with reading until a teacher recognized the signs of dyslexia and intervened.

“Once he got the help he needed, he started to thrive,” she said. “But it shouldn’t take a miracle for every child to get what they need.”

One of the most powerful testimonies came from a parent whose child, despite signi cant struggles, was never properly identi ed or supported and took her life, leaving behind a note that she couldn’t face another day of school.

Parents, educators and advocacy groups are not the only ones pushing for change. Some state board members have expressed support for dyslexia screening legislation.

“If we begin by telling ourselves the truth about how big the challenge is, that can be part of the argument for the funding for the services... even if all we get is a successful push for more robust and e ective screening,” said board member Rebecca McClellan. “ e data that comes from that helps to justify and strengthen the argument for resources to help those students.”

Board member Karla Esser acknowledged that dyslexia screening has been a topic for years.

“I really want to solve this issue,” Esser said. “It’s just going to keep bubbling up over and over again if we don’t get to the point where we have a screener.”

For advocates and parents, the stakes are clear.

e longer Colorado waits to implement universal dyslexia screening, the more children will face preventable academic struggles, loss of self-esteem and even more severe outcomes.

Countless families are hoping their years of pleas will nally result in real, tangible change.

One mom shares how she fought for her two sons to receive a dyslexia diagnosis and get the reading intervention they need.

Starting each day with a celebration

About seven years ago we adopted a yellow lab, Brooke. We got her when she was somewhere between four and seven years old, no one knows her true age. She has been blind since she was a puppy. e person helping to facilitate her rescue knew little about her beyond the fact she had been kept outside in a small shed with a heat lamp for years. Since joining our family, I am pretty sure that Brooke believes she has died and gone to heaven. From her perspective, living inside, hugs and scratches every day, a favorite chair to sit in when not on the dog bed, and sunny spots in which to bask when the chair and bed get boring…of course this is heaven.

Brooke does not move around a ton. Except for short walks several times a week, her favorite things are all within 30 feet of each other and she only ventures outside a couple times a day. When she does move, she progresses timidly, slowly, cautiously checking with her other senses to see that she will not run into

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

Twice a year, I hike a favorite trail in Oregon’s Cascade Range. I have done this for over 20 years, timing my hikes for early spring and fall. e rst hike is for wild owers, the second is for autumn leaves. In June up high, the forest oor is lit by the spires of owering vanilla-leaf spangled with star owers, along with coralroot orchids. e towering conifers and mountain river lined with vine maples and dogwoods are a world apart from the cottonwood-shaded creeks of my home ground in the valley.

something unexpected in her path. e one thing that takes Brooke out of her timid motion is food. Mealtimes are the greatest moments in her day. Brooke bounces to life when she hears the bowls being lled for breakfast or dinner. She literally dances when she hears any part of the meal prep routine. e dance looks something like this:

Dishes clink… she jumps up and moves quickly to the feeding area.

Food is poured in a bowl…she turns two circles (three, if really excited) and laps up a drink.

A spoonful of pumpkin is mixed into the meal… she bounces and wags bringing the dance to a crescendo!

Her dish hits the oor … dancing stops! Eating commences.

You get the picture.

If she could talk, I am sure she would say, “Ohhhh man, I love this time, food is coming I am so excited. It is going to be GREAT!”

I love watching Brooke’s dance. Everything else fades away for her, she is just happy food is on the way. Her dinner dance got me thinking about how di erent our lives would be if we started each day with the kind of celebration Brooke has at mealtimes.

Struggles carry with them weight. ey can ll our minds, set our perspective for the day, and make us proceed cautiously. Before our feet even touch the ground, we can nd ourselves seeing the struggles that lay ahead. For me, if I wake up and my right side is super tight, I can nd myself going through a list of things that will be di cult because I am not moving as I would like. Without even getting out of bed, I create a set of hurdles to overcome. It does not need to be that way. If we can nd a reason to celebrate as we start our day, we can turn away from

viewing di culties and instead see an exciting moment in our existence. Waking up can be a celebration. We can shape the perspective of our day. Like Brooke, we can leave timid on the sideline and ll our rst steps with joy and excitement. is week I hope you identify your reasons for a wake-up happy dance that shapes your day in wonderful ways. I would appreciate hearing from you as you nd helpful morsels in these columns. is week I would especially love to hear about the things that will make your day start great.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Visiting in fall, it’s a far more colorful spectacle. Down in the valley, the oak leaves manage a rusty orange brown, but up in the mountain forests, trees along the river prepare for winter with a blaze of glory.

e dogwoods now bear leaves tinged with delicate salmon pink, while the wild hazel glows yellow and vine maple leaves ame orange and red. In places, the trail passes through a tunnel of these trees, and I can feel my body soaking up the luminous colors, as if storing light for the dark winter ahead.

Everyone who is attuned to the natural world experiences and anticipates seasonal delights. For most of us, these are simply opportunities for appreciating the beauties of nature. But the reliability of nature is something that every living thing depends on and responds to in timeframes both long — evolutionary adaptations — and short — ecological strategies.

is reliability has shaped the owering and fruiting times of plants, the migratory patterns of

birds, and the yearly cycles of nomadic people, who knew the seasonal availability of resources in exquisite detail. But what would it mean if nature were no longer reliable?

I’m afraid that we and every organism on Earth are nding that out through much hotter days and more frequent oods. e reason, of course, is global climate change. But that phrase has become so familiar that it has lost much of its power.

It seems to promise some orderly change from one climate to another admittedly less desirable one. But what the planet will really be experiencing in the coming decades can better be described as climate chaos.

Climate chaos could manifest in two very di erent ways. e rst, and most terrifying, is that global warming will trigger one or more “climate tipping points” that cause “abrupt, irreversible and dangerous impacts with serious implications for humanity,” reports Science magazine. Its 2022 investigation identi ed no fewer than nine tipping points that could be activated this century, including collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, failure of the Indian summer monsoons, and breakdown of the Atlantic Ocean circulation that delivers the warm Gulf Stream to northern Europe. e e ects of passing any of these tipping points are almost too momentous to contemplate.

Let’s instead focus our attention on the other, seemingly less allencompassing aspect of climate chaos: spring wild owers and autumn leaves.

Even if global warming doesn’t send the planet over a tipping point into an entirely new climate reality, it will a ect the distribution of every organism and the seasonal timing of every natural phenomenon. To quote a report by the National Climate Adaptation Science Center, “… not all species are responding at the same speed or in the same ways. is can disrupt the manner in which species interact and the way that ecosystems function overall.”

In other words, the ecological e ects of climate change are chaotic. e reliable pleasure of mountain wild owers may fade as the complex ecology of the forest breaks down in the face of changes in snow cover, spring temperatures and soil moisture. e spectacle of autumn colors may be muted.

To be sure, these are small losses in comparison to, say, the reversal of the Gulf Stream. But as you hike through your corner of the world, or as you tend your home garden, you might spare a moment of gratitude for the reliability of nature that you have experienced in your life.

What’s coming is bound to change everything.

Hospitals rationing intravenous fluids

National shortage in hurricane’s wake may last for months

Hospitals around the country are conserving critical intravenous uid supplies to cope with a shortage that may last months. Some hospital administrators say they are changing how they think about IV uid hydration altogether.

Hurricane Helene, which hit North Carolina in September, wrecked a Baxter International facility that produces 60% of the IV uids used in the U.S., according to the American Hospital Association.

e company was forced to stop production and is rationing its products. In an update posted Nov. 7, Baxter said its North Cove facility had resumed producing some IV uids. In an email to KFF Health News, the company wrote that customers will be able to order normal quantities of “certain IV solutions products” by the end of the year, but there is no timeline for when the North Cove facility will be back to prehurricane production levels.

Meanwhile, hospitals are facing seasonal strains on their already limited IV uid resources, said Sam Elgawly, chief of resource stewardship at Inova, a health system in the Washington, D.C., area.

“We’ve been very aggressive in our conservation measures,” Elgawly said, stressing that he does not believe patient care has been compromised. He told KFF Health News that across the system

IV uid usage has dropped 55% since early October.

Elgawly called the shortage a crisis that he expects to have to continue managing for some time. “We are going to operate under the assumption that this is going to be the way it is through the end of 2024 and have adopted our demand/conservation measures accordingly,” he said.

At the end of the calendar year, many patients with insurance hurry to schedule surgical procedures before their deductibles reset in January. Elgawly is eyeing that typical surgical rush and the impending peak of respiratory virus season as he tries to stockpile IV uid bags.

Hospitals such as Inova’s are using different ways to conserve, such as giving some medications intravenously, but without a dedicated IV uid bag, known as a push medication.

“You don’t even need a bag at all. You just give the medication without the bag,” he said. “ ere has been increasing literature over the last 10 to 20 years that indicates maybe you don’t need to use as much. And this accelerated our sort of innovation and testing of that idea.”

Monica Coleman is a nurse at a Department of Veterans A airs hospital in North Chicago. She said using push medications takes more time out of a nurse’s already hectic schedule because then they need to monitor the patient.

“ is could increase adverse e ects within the patient, because we’re giving the medication at a faster rate,” she said.

Elgawly is also interested in retooling electronic health records to question doctor orders for more IV hydration.

Evergreen to star in holiday movie ‘Mocha and Mistletoe’

Java Groove owner Eric Martinez’s TikTok posts convinced filmmaker to feature the town in a romantic comedy

When Java Groove owner Eric Martinez and his family moved to Evergreen, they were enchanted — by the creek, the elk, the scenery and the people. Martinez started posting about his new life on TikTok, and followers shared his enthusiasm.

“ ey said, ‘Your town, your story and your shop sounds like the plot of a Christmas Hallmark movie,’” Martinez said. “So I made a video and said, ‘Hey Hallmark, come check out my town.’ Hallmark didn’t see it. But an independent lmmaker did.”

Next month, New York lmmaker Candice “Candy” Cain will shoot the movie Martinez envisioned.

Java Groove will feature heavily in the romantic comedy, “Mocha and Mistletoe,” along with several other Evergreen businesses and sights. Cain, who wrote and will direct the production, said she was drawn to the idea by Martinez’s enthusiasm.

“It’s a beautiful place,” Cain said. “But it was more about Eric’s passion than anything else. He really loves Evergreen and is very proud of his town. I knew working with Eric, I’d be able to get those feelings and a good story from him.”

Cain is no stranger to making movies or nding a hook that connects with viewers. e owner of Gemelli Films, she’s written and directed 21 feature lms, 16 of them with a holiday theme.

“Candy Cain is my real name, so I’m kind of pigeonholed into Christmas movies,” she said. “I pride myself on being able to make really wholesome, heartfelt movies about Christmas anywhere.”

e plot of “Mocha and Mistletoe” centers around a magical piece of mistletoe that helps people nd true love. e script also includes a secondary storyline about a corporate co ee chain that threatens to take over the small, locallyowned shop.

Martinez will not play the lead but said

he has a good role as a line cook and manager in the lm’s ctitious smalltown co ee shop. Auditions are being held for several parts, with lead actors coming from outside Evergreen. And that’s just ne with Martinez.

“It’s been 20 years since I did any acting, and that was in high school,” he said.

“I’m happy enough they’re doing it in my town.”

In addition to Java Groove, several other businesses and locations in and around Evergreen will get their moment in the movie spotlight. Cain came to town in mid-November to choose those locations.

Filming is scheduled from Dec 3-18, and part of it will happen during the Dec. 6 Holiday Walk.

“I even wrote the Holiday Walk into the script,” Cain said.

For Martinez, the lm is an unexpected and delightful surprise, the frosting on a life that’s already unbelievably sweet.

e New Jersey native, his wife and two children moved to Evergreen in 2020,

ful lling a long-held wish to live in Colorado. en a manager with Kaiser Permanente, Martinez decided it was time for a career change. With no experience in operating a co ee shop — or even a small business — he bought Java Groove in July 2021.

“I left a pretty lucrative corporate job to be a small business owner, which is not particularly lucrative,” he said. “But what I get from owning a small business in a town like Evergreen is way more than I ever received through a paycheck from a corporation. We have a collection of eclectic characters that come through the door either as patrons or employees, and I get to share these moments and stories with them. I’m just so grateful for it, this beautiful human experience.”

Martinez said his TikTok account about life in Evergreen focuses on that and has “taken o .” JavaDad has nearly 157,000

followers.

“Some people nd something wonderful and beautiful and say, ‘I want to tell nobody about this amazing place I found,’” he said. “And some people say, ‘I want to tell everybody.’ I’m the latter.

“ ere’s enough anger, outrage, and divisiveness online,” he continued. “I think people really enjoy hearing stories of human connection and kindness. But I didn’t know these other things would come out of sharing those stories. I didn’t expect to be making a movie.”

“Mocha and Mistletoe” is being produced as an independent lm with no set distribution plans.

“It might be one of those things where we share it on our private channels, and it lives on YouTube forever,” Martinez said. “Or we get a distributor and it winds up on Hallmark or Net ix. We’re making it rst and we’ll see where it lands.”

Annual Colorado Gives Day takes place on Dec. 10

Whether a nonpro t organization has participated in Colorado Gives Day for one year or for 10, is large or small, the Colorado Gives Foundation continues to support thousands of nonpro ts across the state in the hopes of connecting people and ideas.

“Colorado Gives Day is really an opportunity to be part of the statewide movement,” said Kelly Dunkin, president and CEO of the Colorado Gives Foundation. “I think of it as the ultimate feel-good event.”

Colorado Gives Day launched in 2010 and has become one of the state’s largest 24-hour giving events. Taking place on the second Tuesday every December, which this year is Dec. 10, Coloradans can use the Colorado Gives Day website to nd a cause they want to support and can donate any amount.

However, early giving kicked o on the rst of November.

While people can donate to Colorado Gives all year long, Dunkin said donations during early giving and on Colorado Giving Day gets a boost from the foundation’s $1 Million + Incentive Fund.

indicated that there has been a decline over the years, which can be attributed to economic distress among other factors, according to a 2024 Giving USA report. e report showed that giving by

individuals declined 2.3% in 2023.

Despite national trends, Dunkin said the Colorado Gives Foundation is seeing a di erent trend — a positive and hopeful one at that.

Compared to 2023 numbers, Dunkin said the amount donated so far this year has increased 76%. Additionally, the number of donations increased 46%, the number of nonpro ts that have received a donation went up 22% and the number of donors making donations increased

“We’re hopeful that it means we’ll see a great response on Colorado Gives Day,” said Dunkin.

Last year, more than $53 million was raised for more than 4,000 nonpro ts. As for early giving, the cumulative total the foundation made between Nov. 1-13 in 2023 was $2.49 million, according to Dunkin. is year, the cumulative total made between Nov. 1-13 was about $3.1 million.

“We’re always amazed and grateful to Colorado donors who step up every year to support their favorite nonpro ts,” said Dunkin.

GIVES DAY

Making an impact

Lisa Mendelsberg, who founded Colorado Animal Rescue Express, also known as C.A.R.E., has participated in Colorado Gives Day for 14 years and each year, has seen the impact the fundraising event makes.

Colorado Animal Rescue Express, located in Greenwood Village, works to curb pet homelessness through transportation and veterinary care donations.

e nonpro t also works to reduce petoverpopulation with sponsored programs for spay and neuter procedures.

e rst year that Mendelsberg participated in the event, her nonpro t won an award for being the smallest charity to have the largest number of donors.

“(Colorado Gives Day) gives a platform to tell your story and to be in front of other people, to be in front of a donor audi-

SHORTAGE

“Does the patient actually need that second bag? How did they do today with eating or drinking water or juice? ey did well? ey don’t need the bag. So it’s little conservation mechanisms like that that, when you add them across, you know, the 2,000-patient system that Inova is, make a signi cant dent,” he said.

Simpler conservation measures could become common after the shortage abates, said Vince Green, chief medical o cer for Pipeline Health, a small hos-

ence,” said Mendelsberg.

She added that Colorado Gives Day has been very important to the nonpro t’s success. Ever since it was formed in 2007, about 65,400 homeless pets have been moved to safety and about $398,000 has been donated to shelters, rescue groups and other caregiver organizations, according to the website.

e animal nonpro t is just one of thousands of nonpro ts that bene t from the annual fundraising event. e

Aspen E ect, based in Douglas County, began fundraising through Colorado Gives Day last year.

Acknowledging the prevalence of mental health issues among youth, Jerry Van Leuvan founded the nonpro t to help give youth a place to connect with one another, heal and thrive.

In its third year of operations, e Aspen E ect is a youth program that aims to increase the resilience of youth across the county through the therapeutic relationships they develop with farm animals and adult mentors.

pital system in the Los Angeles area that serves mainly people on Medicare and Medicaid.

First, Green would like to see data showing that patient outcomes aren’t a ected. But for now, some of the new strategies just make sense to him. He has directed hospital sta to use up the entire IV bag before starting another.

“If they come in with IV uids that the paramedics have started, let’s continue it. If it saves half a bag of uids, so be it, but it adds up over time,” he said.

Patients may be asked to take more accountability for their hydration, by drinking Gatorade or water rather than the default of hydrating through an IV, he said.

“Being a part of Colorado GIves Day has not only helped us to raise funding for e Aspen E ect, it gives us a strong connection to the bigger community of nonpro t work in Colorado,” said Van Leuvan.

How it works

People can go online to Coloradogives. org and type in a name of the nonpro t they want to support. If they are unsure, they can search by cause or location. e 12 groups of causes range from animals and civil rights to mental health and religion.

Donors can give various amounts to multiple nonpro ts at the same time by adding their donations to a cart. e donor can then check out all at once and receive one receipt.

“Just like shopping online,” said Dunkin. “If you can shop online, you can give online.”

Every donation made and processed between Nov. 1 and Dec. 10 is boosted by the $1 Million + Incentive Fund. e

“From an environmental aspect, we don’t need to have this much waste and ll up our land lls. If we could reduce stu , I think it’d be wise,” he said.

But he’ll feel better when his hospitals receive a full order, which could be weeks away. Green said they are down to a two-week supply, with an expected increase in hospitalizations due to respiratory virus season.

“We’re purchasing every IV uid bag that we can get,” he said.

KFF Health News is a national newsroom that produces in-depth journalism about health issues and is one of the core operating programs at KFF—an independent source of health policy research, polling, and journalism.

Colorado Gives Foundation puts in $500,000, its partner FirstBank puts in $500,000 and from there, other community sponsors help it grow.  e fund boosts every donation made based on a percentage, said Dunkin.  All nonpro ts receive a percentage of the fund equal to the percentage it raised for Colorado Gives Day. For example, if a nonpro t raises 10%, it gets 10% of the Incentive Fund.

“All nonpro ts on the website are public charities, therefore, whatever dedication you can take, you’ll need to talk to your tax advisor about that,” said Dunkin.  e foundation also has nonpro ts that o er the homeless tax credit, the child care tax credit and the Enterprise Zone tax credit on the website.

She added that a lot of individuals have what are called Donor Advised Funds, and a donor can easily use their Donor Advised Funds to make contributions to nonpro ts on the site.

24 Orediggers end football careers with Senior Day win

eir debut was a masterpiece, but the show can’t go on.

e freshmen classes of 2019 and 2020 had their curtain call Nov. 16, as they led the Colorado School of Mines football team to a 67-9 Senior Day victory against Fort Lewis.

Before the game, the Orediggers recognized 24 departing seniors — including 11 sixth-year players who redshirted in 2019 and then used their extra year of eligibility from the COVID-19 pandemic.

e Nov. 16 win ended up being the seniors’ last game as Orediggers, as Mines was not selected for the 2024 NCAA Division II playo s. Meanwhile, RMAC foes CSU Pueblo and Colorado Western were named as No. 1 and No. 2 seeds, respectively.

Mines closes out its 2024 season 8-3 overall and 6-3 in conference play, after losing at Colorado Mesa, to No. 8 Colorado Western and at No. 7 CSU Pueblo. While the Senior Day win was a bittersweet moment for the Orediggers and

their fans, sixth-year wide receiver Max McLeod felt it was “a good note to end on” and “great way to send the seniors o .”

Hayden Gregg, a fth-year inside linebacker, added: “It was a great game. It

was probably the most fun week I’ve had playing football in a really long time.” e departing seniors led the charge Nov. 16, lling the stat sheet, particularly on defense.

Inside linebacker Adrian Moreno had

the second-most tackles for the game with ve total, including a sack, and cornerback Will Drogosch had three solo tackles.

Nose tackle Maxwell Mwokeukwu had Mines’ rst sack of the game, linebacker Blake Ramsey blocked a punt, and outside linebacker Jaden Healy and defensive tackle Josh Pollard also had solid stats.

Gregg’s e orts earned him RMAC Defensive Player of the Week honors, as he led Mines with eight tackles, two sacks, a forced fumble in the rst quarter and an interception in the fourth. He ran the interception all the way down and ipped into the end zone. He was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct and his touchdown was called back to the 17-yard line, where the Mines o ense scored a few plays later.

Gregg said it was his rst interception at Mines, possibly his rst in his entire football career, adding, “I truly think it was God stepping in and giving me a good game and a good way to nish (my college football career).”

On o ense, the Orediggers produced 622 yards, and McLeod closed out his storied career with 120 yards on six receptions.

A first look at the Arvada Aquatics Center, Je co’s state-of-the-art natatorium

The AAC ushers in a new era for swimmers and divers across the metro area

Swimmers and divers across the Denver metro area are gearing up to practice and compete in a brand new, state-of-the-art natatorium; the Arvada Aquatics Center.

Recently completed after the project was approved in 2021 and ground was broken in 2023, the Arvada Aquatics Center held its rst day of programming on Nov. 18 and will be formally ushered in with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Nov. 23.

e 50,000-square-foot complex includes a 50-meter pool with adjustable bulkheads for di erent competition congurations, a 25-yard pool for swim lessons and exercise programs, and a diving well that features three 1-meter springboards, three 3-meter springboards, and 3-meter and 5-meter diving platforms.

Project Manager Kim Vagher said the diving platforms will allow divers to have a more local option — previously, the only diving facilities up to par with the AAC’s well are located in Colorado Springs and Laramie, Wyoming — and were not originally part of the plan for the facility.

“( e diving wells were) all donated by Pools for Kids,” Vagher said. “ at was

about half a million dollars, and we did not have that in the budget, nor was it planned.”

Pools for Kids is a Colorado-based nonpro t that aims to upgrade swimming and diving facilities across the state.

e AAC will be the home to most Jefferson County Public School District swimming competitions, along with other scholastic competitions. e facility was built through an Intergovernmental Agreement between Je co Schools, the

City of Arvada and the Apex Parks and Recreation District, allowing Je co school teams to use the facilities for practices as

“With the 25-yard pool and the 50-meter pool, we have about a million gallons of water,” Vagher said. “We have two bulkheads here that can be starting blocks. ey can change them depending on the size of the race. e bulkheads move manually.”

Vagher added that the bulkheads are controlled manually to avoid injuries to swimmers or coaches.

e competition pool itself is a stainless steel Myrtha Pool that was shipped from Italy. e pool allows measurements to be made within a 32nd of an inch, which is within certi cation guidelines to allow any state records set at the AAC to be made o cial easily.

Vagher said the process of getting the Myrtha Pool from Italy to Arvada was not a simple one.

“It came on a boat, and it was dropped in Houston, at the dock,” Vagher said. “In Houston, they loaded it up on a train. e train was scheduled to come to Denver, but it missed its stop and so we had to take trucks up to go get the pool in Cheyenne to bring it back down.”

Another design feature that will ensure that records broken at the AAC stand up under scrutiny is the fact that the facility was built on bedrock instead of soil.

The main pool inside the Arvada Aquatics Center.

AQUATICS

“We’re not setting on any dirt,” Vagher said. “We’re setting on bedrock. is whole facility is 426 piers that go about 60 to 80 feet to bedrock, and we have void oors. So, this is a structural slab underneath the poles. (We did this because) we have expansive soils, and you can’t a ord any type of movement in a pool.

“If we swelled and it moved the pool a little bit, then that brings it out of compli-

ance because we have a di erential here,” Vagher continued. “And the worst thing that could happen is if the pool didn’t move, but this building moved because they’re separate — but now they’re all tied together.”

Vagher said another triumph of the pool’s build is the natural light — something that was not present at the AAC’s predecessor, the Meyers Pool.

“I think the biggest feature in this whole building really comes from the lobby,”

Vagher said. “it’s the bright light entering into the facility. So, you’ll see it everywhere where daylight was one of the main design intents and goals, and I think

we’ve achieved it very well. We’ve also got blinds to help shade the pool or the lobby for people who work here.”

e AAC is also on track to earn a LEED Silver Certi cation for energy e ciency, which includes the following assets:

• Water-saving ltration with regenerative media lters for e cient water reuse, reducing indoor water use by approximately 40%.

• Native landscaping and high-e ciency drip irrigation systems are estimated to reduce outdoor water demand by 77%.

• Waste diversion during the demolition of the Meyers pool and throughout construction led to 85% of the material being diverted from land lls and recycled.

• Interior nishes, high-e ciency air ltration and large ceiling fans help reduce indoor air pollutants and improve air quality.

• A grant-funded partnership with the Colorado Energy O ce will fund the future installation of 10 EV charging stations, promoting greenhouse gas reductions.

• Energy saving measures for HVAC systems, boilers, LED lighting and more with an anticipated reduction of energy costs by 20%.

McLeod recorded 4,678 total receiving yards in his career, which is fourth alltime in NCAA Division II and the most by any player since 2008, according to Mines Athletics. His 54 career touchdowns is the second-most in program history.

“It’s just been an amazing experience,” McLeod said of his individual records and the team’s accomplishments during his career. “ e last couple of years, we’ve continually pushed the level of our program. … e seniors of years past and our (senior) class have set this program up for success in the future.”

Their final bow

Since 2019, the 2024 senior class has helped Mines win four conference titles, win NCAA regional titles, and advance to back-to-back national championship games in 2022 and 2023.

McLeod said the deep playo games were among their favorite memories at Mines, particularly the 2022 semi nal game against Shepherd.

Jack Walters, a sixth-year tight end from Golden, said he appreciated all the team dinners, bus rides and late-night study sessions.

Similarly, Gregg said some of his favorite moments were hanging out with his teammates during COVID-19 lockdowns and quarantines, especially getting to know his fellow freshmen.

He also highlighted the 2021 playo game against Bemidji State game, which was his rst college start, where he forced a fumble on the opening kicko that Mines recovered.

e Kansas City, Mo. native, who has a bachelor’s degree in petroleum engineering, is graduating in December with a master’s in engineering and technology management. He’s joining an oil company based in downtown Denver, where he interned twice. He’ll eventually be reassigned to Midland, Texas, but hopes to return to the Denver area afterward.

Walters is likewise graduating in December with a master’s degree in engineering and technology management. Afterward, he plans to stay in Golden and start a company that provides people who are vision-impaired or autistic “with real-time access to people’s nonverbal communication cues, to help bridge communication gaps with them,” he said.

Both Gregg and Walters said they’ve considered returning to football as coaches, saying they’ve both made such incredible bonds with their teammates, coaches and communities across their careers.

“I love the sport,” Walters continued. “ … I’m de nitely going to keep it close to my heart.”

Meanwhile, McLeod will also graduate in December with a master’s degree in engineering and technology manage-

ment, in addition to his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. He’s planning to sign with an agent and explore options as a professional football player.

In his parting message, McLeod thanked his fellow seniors, saying it was an honor playing with them and that the freshman class of 2019 “had a lot of fun.” He also thanked the Golden and Mines communities, saying, “You’ve made Mines special.”

Gregg and Walters both thanked God, their family members, friends, teammates and coaches for all their support throughout their time as student-athletes. ey were both incredibly grateful for their time at Mines, and for all the memories and friendships they’ve made here.

“Golden High School felt like a home; Mines feels like a home,” Walters said. “I made the best friendships I could ask for. … Tell my (fellow) seniors I love them.” Gregg added: “I love this team. … I’m super-blessed to be in the position that I am, and that God pointed me to this great school and this great team.”

With only a few short weeks left until they graduate and leave Mines and Golden for more adventures — to paraphrase the Kygo song — while it’s their time to go, at least the 2024 seniors stole the show.
