e Wheat Ridge High School chorus and jazz band are going to Stade, Germany for concerts April 16-24. e performances are part of a two-decade-long relationship between local high schools and Stade, Germany.

e relationship began as an o er to Lakewood’s high schools, according to Wheat Ridge High School vocal director Ryan Plakorus.

“Stade, which is just outside of Hamburg in Germany, is sister cities with the City of Lakewood,” Plakorus explained. “ at was actually 20 years ago, this year.”

He said the partnership included trips between Stade and Lakewood for members of both communities.

“So, there was kind of a builtin infrastructure between the cities that was already there,” Plakorus said. “And then the band director, an English

Lakewood, get ready for expression through dance with Flamenco Vivo dance company. e show “Fronteras” is coming April 15-18 to the Lakewood Cultural Center. Company founder and artistic director Carlota Santana is also excited to bring a bit of the Flamenco experience in the form of a weeklong artist-in-residence workshop.

According to the Lakewood Cultural Center, the Flamenco Vivo troupe will have a residency week that includes two performances, a workshop and a master class.

e Flamenco Guitar Masterclass will feature “ amenco guitar techniques, tonalities and rhythms,” according to the class description.

e class is open to ages 14 and up and is o ered at 7 p.m. on April 17 at the Lakewood Cultural Center.

According to the center’s event

description, e Flamenco Movement Workshop will “focus on instruction in rhythmic handclaps, arm movements, body posturing and footwork tailored to the participant’s experience level.”

Among the o erings is a workshop that will also be o ered for active adults over age 55 at 11:15 a.m. on April 16 at the Lakewood Cultural Center.

Santana brings Flamenco Vivo to Lakewood after 40 years of traveling the world and spreading the love of the Spanish dance. Santana explained that she found amenco dance through a workshop decades ago.

“Every time I think about it, it’s like a dream. Whoever thought we could get this far,” Santana said. “I started in amenco in New York City. I took a workshop by a woman named Maria Alba, who was very famous back in those days.”

Santana said the dance gave her

a way to express herself that was unique. “Flamenco is a strong art form,” she said. “As a female dancer, you can be strong and tough. Or you can be very delicate, and sensual also. So, there are different emotions that you can express through the art form. And I think that’s what attracted me to at most.”

rough Flamenco Vivo, Santana can share this experience with people all over the world.

“We’ve done a lot of arts and education and with kids,” Santana explained. She said amenco helps kids and adults with movement and in handling their feelings.

“I do think that the emotional expression in amenco is really universal,” Santana said. “I mean, we all feel the same thing happen.

be sad, angry, whatever. And I think the ability to express one’s emotion through this art form is what draws people.”

According to Santana, “Fronteras” is the expression of a myriad of emotions. She said it was born out of the worldwide claustrophobia experienced during the pandemic in 2020.

“In ‘Fronteras,’ the artists are boxed in,” Santana explained. “You can see this big white box on stage, and they’re boxed in. And the question is, how do people relate to each other in this kind of boxed atmosphere, then the world? Do they ght do they get along? So that’s what kind of happens throughout the performance 72 minutes long.”

The troupe Flamenco Vivo will bring the lively, expressive Spanish dance to Lakewood during the week of April 15. COURTESY OF LAKEWOOD CULTURAL CENTER

Here’s How I See the NAR Settlement Affecting Buyers, Sellers and Their Agents

Two weeks ago I focused on how the media has covered the settlement between the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and sellers regarding the payment of buyer agent commissions. At the end of that article I directed readers to my blog to read my further thoughts about how the settlement would affect buyers, sellers and their agents.

Since not all readers visited that website (or it might have crashed), I’ll share those insights in this week’s column.

create a website for each listing can mention co-op compensation there, and ads (like the one below) can include that information too, drawing buyers to show your listing over other listings.

Note: This column was published last Thursday in the Denver Post but not in the weekly newspapers.

I’m convinced that sellers will still want to offer some amount of compensation to buyers’ agents as an incentive to show their homes. Because co-op commissions will no longer be published in the MLS, listing agents will come up with off-MLS ways of providing that information. Failing that, they should expect buyers’ agents to call them before an offer is submitted to find out what compensation, if any, can be inserted in the purchase contract.

Buyers’ agents who didn’t get their buyer to agree to pay them a commission can be expected to call listing agents about compensation before they even show the listing. If more than one agent asks the listing agent that question and then fails to set a showing, the listing agent might get his seller to offer a coop commission.

Note: Although co-op compensation will not appear on the MLS, listing agents (like Golden Real Estate’s) who

Today, April 11th, is Family Promise National Giving Day. Golden Real Estate actively supports this charity which serves homeless families, providing temporary shelter in participating churches plus employment and housing counseling. Link at http://RealEstateToday.substack.com

Here are some practical changes that can be expected.

First, the Colorado Real Estate Commission (CREC) will tweak the Exclusive Right to Sell (listing) contract to remove the offer of co-op compensation from Sec. 7.1.1. Instead of entering, for example, 5% to 6% as the commission, the contract will likely show 2.5% to 3% as the commission.

If the seller agrees to the idea of incentivizing buyers’ agents, it could be expressed in a newly created section of the listing agreement or under Additional Provisions like this: “If a buyer’s agent requests compensation, Broker is authorized to offer x% commission to be paid by Seller at closing.”

Beware, however: Not offering the exact same commission to every inquiring agent could constitute a Fair Housing violation. It would be best to publish that amount, such as on a listing flyer and/or listing website.

I have always advocated for buyers to have professional representation, so I welcome the settlement’s requirement to have a signed buyer agency agreement before showing listings This can be a 1day or 1-week agreement, to allow the buyer time to decide if he/she wants a formal exclusive relationship with that agent. However, buyers will likely be reluctant to sign anything just to see a home, so they will likely call listing agents instead.

When a listing agent shows his or her own listing, the buyer isn’t required to sign anything, although the listing agent is required to present the buyer with a

“Brokerage Disclosure to Buyer” that he/ she represents the seller and that the buyer is a “customer.” (Buyer can decline to sign that disclosure.)

Are listing agents prepared for that onslaught? Listing agents who are used to putting a listing in the MLS and waiting for other agents to sell it won’t like buyers asking for showings — especially once they aren’t able to get sellers to sign a 5% to 6% listing agreement.

The rules will disproportionately hurt buyers who can barely afford a downpayment, unless lenders allow a buyer commission to be included in the loan amount, and those buyers won’t be able to come up with thousands in cash to pay their agents. Those buyers will surely go to listing agents directly.

Meanwhile, listing agents are used to their paycheck doubling when they don’t have to share their 5 to 6 percent commission with a buyer’s agent. That’s going to go away unless listing agents convince their sellers to put a provision in their contract that if no commission is owed to a buyer’s agent, then the listing commission is increased by x%.

The CREC’s Exclusive Right to Buy contract has long had two sections which say the buyer’s broker will request payment from the seller but, failing that, buyer agrees to pay a stated fee for representation. Here are those sections:

the seller pays (if anything) and what’s in their buyer agency agreement.

Buyers can be expected to resist almost any percentage, since they have never paid a commission in the past. Because of this, more buyers can be expected to call listing agents to see homes instead of hiring a buyer’s agent, although I’ll continue to advocate for buyers to hire an agent to represent them.

Justifying the listing commission will be an easier sell, but only if the listing agent offers the kind of value we do at Golden Real Estate. It will be a harder sell for listing agents who provide minimal value to their sellers.

Here’s a partial list of the value Golden Real Estate agents provide to our sellers:

 A free staging consultation

 Free use of our box truck, free moving boxes, and free packing materials, including bubble wrap

 Magazine quality still photos, HD narrated video tour, and aerial photos and video

 Custom websites for each listing and custom URLs (e.g., yourhome.com)

These will become the default sections in the buyer agency contract. Agents working with a buyer will seek to insert 2.5% to 3% in their buyer agency agreement in case a seller doesn’t agree to that much (or any) compensation for the buyer’s agent. Percentages like that will be a hard sell, because the buyer would be on the hook for the difference between what

when we don’t have to pay a buyer’s agent and/or when we earn a commission selling you a replacement home. The NAR settlement still allows the MLS to include offers of monetary concessions for buyers, such as paying for buyers’ closing costs or subsidizing a buydown of buyer’s mortgage loan rate, something that is increasingly common.

Rock-throwing suspects in Alexa Bartell murder plead not guilty

Trio of teen suspects will face separate trials this summer

e trio of teenagers accused of committing the rock-throwing spree that led to the death of 20-year-old Arvada resident Alexa Bartell have entered not-guilty pleas and will face trial separately this summer.

e three 18-year-old defendants pleaded not guilty on April 1 and will be tried separately, according to multiple motions for severance led by each defendant’s legal team on Nov. 3, 2023 obtained by the Arvada Press. e motions seem to

suggest that the defendants each plan to accuse another defendant of throwing the rock that killed Bartell.

Additionally, on April 1, defendant Joseph Koenig was charged with four additional counts — two of attempted murder and two of attempted assault — involving incidents with previously unidenti ed victims, both of whom are alive.

Koenig’s trial is set to begin on July 19. Fellow defendants Zachary Kwak and Nicholas Carol-Chik have trials that will start on June 24 and June 7, respectively.

Besides the new charges against Koenig, the trio faces the same 13 charges, all related to the events of April 19, 2023 which led to Bartell’s death and other incidents of landscaping rocks being hurled at driving motorists.

e charges include one count of murder in the rst degree, six counts of criminal attempt to commit murder in the rst degree, three counts of assault in the second degree and three counts of criminal attempt to commit assault in the rst degree.

Events of April 19, 2023, according to police a davits

Karol-Chik’s statement says that he and Kwak both collected landscaping rocks from the Walmart on 72nd Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard on April 19, 2023, loading them into the bed of Karol-Chik’s pickup, a Chevrolet Silverado 1500.

A fourth man said he was with the trio at the Walmart, but asked to be taken home when he sus-

Alexa Bartell was killed when a rock was thrown through her windshield.

SUSPECTS

pected the group might be preparing for trouble. e fourth man said the group was loading up “as much (rocks) as they could carry” into the vehicle, and said Koenig frequently participates in disruptive behavior because he likes to cause “chaos.”

Investigators used cell phone data and crime reports to determine that the rock that killed Bartell was one of seven incidents of landscaping rocks being thrown at cars in a large, semi-circular area stretching from Highway 72 in the south, Highway 93 in the east, Highway 128 in the north and Indiana Street in the west.

Kwak’s statement claims that while the trio was traveling around, Koenig was driving the vehicle, Karol-Chik was riding in the front passenger seat, and Kwak was in the back row behind Karol-Chik. Kwak said Karol-Chik was using “marine terms” as the rocks were thrown, such as “contact left” before Koenig would throw a rock at a car to the left of theirs.

Kwak said Koenig threw the rock that killed Bartell.

Kwak said that Koenig sped up as the group’s vehicle approached Bartell, then threw a rock out the window that made a loud sound, like a “rail gun” shooting a block of concrete. Afterward, Kwak noticed that Bartell’s vehicle had left the roadway. ey reached the next intersection and turned around to return to where it left the road, according to the a davit.

As they passed Bartell’s vehicle,

Kwak took a picture of Bartell’s vehicle. He told investigators that he thought Karol-Chik or Koenig would want it as a memento.

Karol-Chik said all three suspects threw rocks at cars. He claimed that Kwak threw the rock that killed Bartell, and corroborated Kwak’s account that the trio turned back toward Bartell’s car so that Kwak could take a photo. Karol-Chik said that at this point in the night, he felt “a hint

of guilt.”

Kwak said that after circling back to Bartell’s car, Koenig took him home. He told investigators that Koenig and Karol-Chik discussed now being “blood brothers” and stated that they could never speak of the incident. Kwak also said that Koenig came to his house the next day to get their stories straight, speci cally to deny any involvement in the events of the previous night.

Boxer Kenny Hill helps mentor fight Parkinson’s one jab at a time

Denver’s Tao of Boxing gym helps people combat symptoms of the disease

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Kenny Hill was a troubled youth as he was growing up in Kansas. But one day, he met a man who turned his life around.

Butch Dillon and Hill got acquainted through the Boys & Girls Club, and the friendship grew when Dillon gave Hill an hourly gig detailing cars.

“He got me out of trouble,” Hill said of Dillon. “He inspired me to do better.”

Dillon and Hill remained close, the former serving as an adult role model and o ering advice as the latter grew up and eventually moved to Denver, earned a college degree and started a business.

In 2011, Hill was able to return the favor. Dillon had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. So Hill — a lifelong boxer who has garnered many accolades including three-time junior Olympic champion, a three-time Silver Glove champion and a Golden Glove champion — didn’t waste

any time helping his friend in the best way that he knew how.

“Boxing is the No. 1 exercise that combats the movement symptoms,” Hill said.

Hill traveled to Indianapolis to get certi ed to coach people with Parkinson’s disease through a

nonpro t called Rock Steady Boxing, which exists to “improve the quality of life of people with Parkinson’s disease through a noncontact, boxing-based tness curriculum.”

Hill got Dillon set up with all the equipment, and every month, Hill

designs a new boxing-based exercise routine for Dillon’s Parkinson’s symptoms.

“Taking instruction from Kenny (Hill) is just a joy,” Dillon said, adding that Hill is both enthusiastic and patient. “It has done wonders for living with Parkinson’s.”

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive and degenerative brain disorder that a ects a person’s muscle movement. While the disease itself is not fatal, its complications can be serious and greatly diminish quality of life. e most obvious motor, or movement, symptoms include tremors, slowing and stiening movements.

“Half of boxing is footwork,” Hill is means participation in boxing can help with posture and balance. And likewise, using the arms for the punches and jabs in boxing also helps with the rigidity symptoms.

Aside from the movement symptoms that come with Parkinson’s, those living with the disease also su er a wide range of non-movement symptoms that can include cognitive changes such as problems with attention, and mood disorders such as depression, anxiety and apathy.

teacher and assistant principal that’s out there, saw this partnership. ey decided it would be nice to reach out to schools in Lakewood to see if they would take the partnership in a di erent route and have it also student-centered and centered with something music.

“However, when the Stade teachers reached out to the Lakewood High School back then, all of them said no. So, the Stade teachers came next door to the city of Wheat Ridge,” Plakorus continued. He added that the music directors at WRHS were eager to start a partnership.

Over the last 20 years, the two schools have taken turns traveling between Wheat Ridge and Stade to “jam” together. Plakorus says that the relationship created over the years has made the trip to Germany easier for students and faculty.

“It’ll be neat to come back and just see what all they’ve soaked in and have learned — not just about music, but about life. Seeing that change in that growth is something that I’m looking forward to,” Plakorus said.

She explained that posture and even pride are also important elements of the workshop.

“And then we’ll learn something about the footwork,” Santana continued. “Lorena Franco is one of our dancers who will be teaching the workshop.”

According to Plakorus, the chorus and jazz bands will sing a variety of songs for the community there. He said music is how students from two di erent countries will nd common ground.

“I hope that they take away that we’re much more similar as people than di erent, even when we’re going to a di erent place in a di erent culture in a di erent country,” Plakorus said. “Hopefully, through music and through the connections that we make here, we will all realize that we’re really just people looking for connection and growth and just trying to be our best selves. Hopefully, this trip will help the students realize how they can be their best selves, and how we can do that together through music.”

On thin ice: Local ice climbers adapt to a warming world

While the popularity of the sport increases, so do the climate-associated risks faced by climbers

BY MERYL PHAIR SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

On the rock crags of Clear Creek Canyon, water ows harden into ice as solid as the rocks beneath them. As temperatures drop across Colorado’s Front Range during the winter, a dynamic balance between cold nights that freeze ice and warmer days that thaw it enough for the water beneath to ow, keeps the ice consistently thick.

Secret Waterfall, Mickey’s Big

Mouth and Coors Light have become reliable routes for ice climbers just outside of Golden. While adapting to changes on the ice is as necessary to a climber as ice axes and crampons, climbers say that in recent years, the ice ows have been shifting.

“It’s de nitely changing,” said Ben Coryell, who leads ice climbs throughout the Front Range with his company Golden Mountain Guides. “ e ice comes in later in the season or doesn’t come in at all.”

He recalled in 2015 and prior years, the ows would come in by December and stick around until midMarch. Some ows have stopped coming in entirely since and in the last couple of years, except this year, popular ows haven’t even come in until March.

“ ere’s not enough moisture and

cold,” said Coryell. “In terms of the ice and the weather, things have been funky.”  ings are getting funky beyond Clear Creek Canyon. Mountain guides and climbers around the world whose sports and businesses rely on the consistency of ice are

noticing the changes. Even as ice climbing has grown dramatically in popularity and accessibility, the future of the sport may be on thin ice due to warming temperatures.

THIN ICE

e American Alpine Club, a climbing advocacy nonpro t headquartered in Golden, began to notice an increased level of awareness about environmental change within the guiding community.

Working with the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, the group surveyed the American climbing public and found climbers were more concerned about the issue of climate change than the general American public.

To quantify this sentiment, in 2019 the AAC organized a team of researchers to conduct a study on the impact of climate change on ice climbing.

e climate models prepared by the AAC researchers predicted a decline in the length of the winter climbing season in both a highemission scenario (if nothing is done to lower carbon emissions) and a moderate emission scenario (if steps are taken to lower emissions). e results revealed that by 2100 in a high-emission scenario, the season length for ice climbing could be as short as 30 days.

“We tapped into a reality that a lot of people were experiencing, but not necessarily quantifying or doing enough to talk about,” said Taylor Luneau, the AAC policy director at the time of the study. Luneau said the research not only showed how the ice would be a ected but also what it might mean for local economies and the individuals who rely on ice for their livelihood.

Environmental stresses to ice

Using the Mount Washington valley in New Hampshire as a case study, the study looked at climate models, an extensive photo archive of the ows over time, and the knowledge of local guides to assess future impacts.

ows are also combined with the growing popularity of the sport.

ree million Americans ice climb yearly, a signi cant increase from the 50,000 participants that took to ice falls in the early 2000s. At Clear Creek, Coryell said that besides this season, Coors Light and Mickey’s never formed so there have been even more climbers at Secret Waterfall.

“One of our big goals as a company is to facilitate a great mountain experience,” Coryell said. “We’ve started doing a lot more of our ice work in less crowded places, to give a better experience and it’s easier to manage the overall risk. If you have 20 people climbing on a tiny ow, it’s going to be a bowling alley if that ice comes down on you.”

e guiding out t climbs across the front range, including locations that are much further than the easy twenty-minute drive from Denver to Golden and the fteen up to Clear Creek Canyon. Due to the

unpredictability of the ice, Coryell said even though more people want to climb closer to Denver, they’ve been steering clients to their Mount Lincoln and Lake City climbs as the overall experience will be better.

“Clear Creek is so close and accessible to a big market of both tourists and people fully into the sport,” Coryell said. “When that option isn’t there, you lose out on a lot of equity in terms of folks that can go out and climb. From a business standpoint, it’s been tricky to adjust, because you can’t run the same type of programming anymore without going higher up into the mountains.”

While the ice further up in the mountains is more insulated, the impacts of warming temperatures have been noticeable up there as well. At Mount Lincoln, warmer days combined with colder nights have caused the ice to grow much thicker than before.

SEE THIN ICE, P11

Even as ice climbing has become more popular, shifting weather patterns and warming weather are changing the conditions of once reliable routes.

THIN ICE

e economic impacts of a changing climate and the value of ice climbing to a community are hard to quantify but as the ice recedes, so does the access to outdoor recreation and the quality of life that leads so many people to choose to live in front range communities.

As businesses adapt to the changing times, some places such as Colorado’s Ouray Ice Park divert water to form their annual ice ows and ice farmers maintain the ice throughout the season. at water comes down from snow melt in the San Juan Mountains, through the Uncompahgre Gorge, and collects in a storage container for the County of Ouray before being poured over the park’s cli s to form the ows.

“If it’s a low snowfall year, and there’s less water to go around, what happens to the ice farm,” Luneau said. “Do they still get the same amount of water needed to open or does the water get allocated back?”

Less snowfall and less ice due to warming temperatures lead to critical questions about water resource management in a state that already faces challenges in water supply. A drier system overall can also increase the risks of wild res and droughts.

“ e experience of being on the ice and seeing these changes allows us to step into a much bigger, more drastic conversation,” said Luneau. “We’re very privileged to be able to do this sport and it’s not just about maintaining climbing days. It’s about the downstream effect.”

As ice climbers have begun to be louder advocates for the impacts of our changing climate, they are joined by organizations like Protect Our Winters who have been raising awareness of the impact of climate change on all recreational winter sports. ese organizations are making strong calls for mitigation measures, and the study by the AAC was combined with a policy position about changes that need to be made going forward.

Luneau said one of the major

ways the climbing community can address the issue is through land conservation and supporting initiatives like 30x30, which aims to conserve 30% of land and water by 2030, as an interim measure of reaching 50% by 2050.

In Golden, the changes ice climbers see on the ice are becoming a bigger part of the conversation.

Coryell said that many guiding out ts are getting together across the Front Range to debrief the ice season, see what worked well and how they can provide the best experiences in the upcoming year.

“It’s an ever-changing medium, and what may be here today might not be there tomorrow,” said Coryell. “It’s something all of our guides focus on with clients and we do spend a fair bit of time talking with

people and guides about how different it’s becoming.”

Despite the challenges, ice climbers and guides will have to adapt. On a recent climb in Washington, Luneau had been out on the ice at the same time as another group of climbers. Temperatures had been warming throughout the day and the wind picked up, sending a rock tumbling down the hill right into a climber’s face. e climber was injured but thankfully ultimately OK, Luneau said.

“It was a good reminder that these are dynamic systems and what has been predictable in the past isn’t necessarily going to be safe in the future,” said Luneau. “ at shift is going to require a lot of attention from climbers as things continue to warm.”

Volunteers were rescuing Venezuelan families with young children from sleeping outside as Denver has scaled back migrant services and the time people were allotted to stay in city-funded hotel rooms expired.

e city, in response to complaints from volunteers that children were ending up outside, decided on a March afternoon to reopen a city building in Civic Center park to house migrant families with nowhere to sleep.

Denver Human Services o cials said they were rushing to reactivate the McNichols Building on Colfax Avenue, including sending sta and ordering meals.

e re-opening of the congregate shelter in a civic building meant for arts and culture was not part of the plan as the city scales down migrant services that have already cost $61 million. But Mayor Mike Jonhston and his sta have said multiple times that they would prevent kids from ending up on Denver streets.

“Nobody ever said this was going

to be easy,” said Jon Ewing, spokesperson for Denver Human Services. “You are going to have families who haven’t gured it out yet. ere are a lot of factors competing against them. It’s not a problem of their own making.”

e city is in the process of decreasing the number of hotels it has used to house migrants to three from seven, closing about one each week for four weeks. e third one closed as a city shelter in March.

And after a pause on hotel room time limits, the city is sticking to the policy of allowing adults to stay 14 days in city-funded hotel rooms while families have 42 days.

e number of migrants in cityfunded hotel rooms is now about 940, down from more than 4,500 in January. Hundreds of families have left hotels in the past month, and many have moved into apartments with nancial help from nonpro ts.

Multiple families were stranded throughout Denver as they had to vacate hotel rooms.

e families sat in hotel lobbies, hoping that nonpro ts or Denver

Human Services outreach workers would tell them where they could go. Hours passed, and the families began to panic, in some cases sending requests for help on Facebook pages created by grassroots volunteers.

Lydia Flynn runs a Facebook group to help migrants in northeastern Denver. She had 40 followers when she started it in October. Now, she has 1,400.

Flynn found a volunteer to pick up two of the families in di erent hotels, then drive them and their belongings to a McDonald’s, where she met them and bought them dinner.

“We are talking about 9 p.m.,” she said. “It’s late. It’s cold. ese kids haven’t eaten.”

One family includes a 7-year-old and a pregnant woman. e other is a couple with a 3-year-old, and the father was just released from the hospital and his leg has an infection, Flynn said.

With no help from nonpro ts or the city, Flynn ended up paying for two hotel rooms. “I am eating spaghetti for the rest of the week,” she said. Flynn was advised by one local organization to take the families to an encampment, but she refused.

“I am not putting a pregnant mom in a tent,” she said. “I’m not putting kids in a tent.”

e only bright spot is that the families became fast friends and are now hoping to nd an apartment or a basement to rent together. What they want most are work permits, so they can legally nd jobs in Denver, Flynn said.

While Flynn was helping those two families, a city outreach worker was working late into the evening to nd temporary shelter for seven other families.

e city occasionally uses the McNichols Building as an emergency shelter for the chronically homeless population, including last week when Denver received about a foot of snow. e city also used the building as a shelter when it cleaned up a giant migrant encampment near Speer Boulevard and Zuni Street in January, o ering people in tents to hop on buses for a ride to the congregate shelter.

In late March, city outreach workers were trying to move about 50-60 people out of a migrant encampment in a parking lot at Elitch Gardens. Tents are lined up in the shadow of a roller coaster, and the amusement park is scheduled to open in April.

Gas rabies: The cause and the cure

The story unfolds before us far too often — bits of scattered plastic and glass, emergency vehicles with lights ashing red, the shaken driver standing near a crumpled car and an animal who paid the ultimate price for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Whether the concern is the risk of injury to the occupants of the vehicle, property damage or the su ering of animals, crashes involving wildlife are a pervasive, signi cant, and tragic risk when driving in the mountain foothills.

Je erson County has earned the unwelcome distinction of having the second-highest number of wildlifevehicle collisions of all counties in the state. Colorado State Patrol crash data recorded 646 wildlife-vehicle collisions on Je erson County roads between 2015-2019. In 2023, the Colorado Department of Transportation reported 17 elk, 15 deer, one mountain lion, one raccoon, one fox and three unknown animals as roadkill on Highway 74 alone.

With a year-round elk herd of 250 animals, a four-lane state highway with speed limits up to 55 mph and high tra c counts, Evergreen is a hot spot of elk-vehicle collisions. With golf courses, ponds and lakes, meadows and backyards, Evergreen is a haven of easy living, providing endless and dependable food and water, safe areas for calving and breeding, and relative safety from hunting and predation. Why indeed would a doe choose to give birth to her fawn under the deck of a home, surrounded by humans, pets, cars and noise?

What can be done?

lision frequency.

Tom Vanderbilt, in his insightful book, “Tra c,” describes tra c as “an inbetween time in which we are more likely to think about where we are going than where we are at the moment.” In one study, almost 80% of crashes involved drivers who were not paying attention to tra c for up to 3 seconds before the event. In addition to cell phone distractions, drivers adjusted their radios 7.4 times per hour and searched for something inside their cars 10.8 times per hour.

A simple reduction in speed limit seems intuitive. But as Vanderbilt states, “ e road itself tells us far more than signs do. If you build a road that’s wide, has a lot of sight distance, and has a large median, large shoulders and the driver feels safe, they‘re going to go fast.” He continues, “It doesn’t matter what speed limit or sign you have. In fact, the engineers who built that road seduced the driver to go that fast.”

In other words, our transportation planners have given us the green light to develop a serious case of gas rabies, a term coined by Ben Goldfarb in his 2023 book, “Crossings: How Road Ecology is Shaping the Future of our Planet.” Gas rabies afictions appear to be highly contagious with unappealing side e ects — an increased risk of injury, death and emotional trauma.

I am not surprised that some voters like Ms. Weathers [Letters, Jeco Transcript, March 21, 2024] plan to use their vote to “speak out” on individual issues. It’s a old trend. Wouldn’t it be nice if that were all it would take to unravel complicated social and geopolitical conun-

drums? You see, I too vote a single issue, and that is to put the fate of our country above all else.

Our democracy is teetering on the edge of disaster. Ignoring that reality by voting for some fringe candidate who has no chance whatsoever of getting elected is e ectively putting our fate in the hands of others. We perilously de-

lude ourselves into thinking that the United States is immune to collapse, that it will always be there to keep us secure, warm, fed, our lights will always work, our internet will always be there, modern medicine will save us from the next deadly virus, and so on. If the U.S. fails, more than the Palestinians will tumble along with it. ere is

no shortage of humanitarian tragedy going on in the world. ere are the Ukrainians, the Somalians, the Haitians, the Nigerians, the Ethiopians, the Rohingya people in Myanmar, to name a few. Why does Ms. Weathers single out the Palestinians for her special concern?

’The Mousetrap’ is set at Lone Tree Arts Center

Some types of genre storytelling are destined to be with us forever. I think it’s safe to say at this point that murder mysteries are one of the top examples of such evergreen storytelling. People just can’t seem to get enough. And with classics like Agatha Christie’s “ e Mousetrap” still being staged, who am I to argue?

e show is running at the Lone Tree Arts Center , 10075 Commons St., from ursday, April 11 through Sunday, April 21. We interviewed director Sam Gregory about the show, what makes it so much fun and more.

COMING ATTRACTIONS

mystery and comedy. e combination of suspense and humor is what makes this play special.

Interview edited for brevity and clarity.

Tell me about ‘ e Mousetrap’ and what it’s about?

“ e Mousetrap” is an Agatha Christie murder mystery. Mollie and Giles Ralston have just converted Monkswell Manor house into an inn. On the inn’s rst night, a blizzard traps the guests in the old house. One of the guests is murdered and everyone is a suspect. Agatha Christie asks us to consider if we can ever truly know anyone, even those closest to us. It is the classic murder mystery.

What drew you to direct the show?

I love the characters in this play. ey are quirky and mysterious and sometimes pretty funny. I love a good murder mystery and this play is one of the best.

Are there any particular challenges to directing such a wellknown show?

You might think the most challenging aspect of the show would be keeping the secret of “who done it” till the end. But the reverse is true. We are working very hard to make sure that the audience can follow all the facts they need to know to solve the case. If you haven’t seen the play already, I’m pretty sure that even the most accomplished armchair detectives will be challenged to gure it out.

What is your favorite thing about the show?

is show is just a lot of fun. It is certainly fun to do and I know it will be fun to see. It’s equal parts

What do you hope audiences come away with?

Clarke Reader

I hope we entertain everyone who comes. If you’ve never seen the show, you’ll be fully surprised by the twists and turns of the story. And if you’ve seen it many times before and know “who done it” (By the way, shhh, don’t give it away!), you’ll enjoy revisiting these classic, memorable, characters.

The Hits of the 60s and 70s Come to Lakewood

The elementary school students making paper parachutes and homemade kaleidoscopes now will — in about 10 years or so — be studying aerospace engineering and nuclear ssion.

at’s the hope behind programs like Colorado School of Mines’ third annual Girls Are SMART event, which recently hosted 130 girls from elementary schools across the Denver area.

Girls Are SMART — Studious, Mighty, Amazing, Resilient and Talented — had the participants rotate through a variety of science, tech-

nology, engineering and math-focused activities.

ey spent the morning on March 9 making their own Newton’s cradles, rainsticks, elephant toothpaste, stomp rockets and more, with Mines students explaining the mechanics behind each station’s activity.

e participants described afterward how they had a great time making new friends and learning about science, and several said they wanted to come back next year.

The short-term goal behind Girls Are SMART, as the event’s organizers from Mines’ Society of Women Engineers chapter explained, was to bolster the participants’ knowledge of basic scientific principles like air resistance, pres-

sure and gravity.

But, the larger objective was to encourage the students’ love of learning, especially in STEM, and “inspire girls to go into any eld they want,” as organizer Mary Nimey said.

Nimey, a Mines senior studying mining engineering, noted how SWE hosts similar events for middle school and high school students, although they’re more technical and involved based on the age group. For the older students, Nimey said these programs also encourage participants to explore whichever topics or specialties within engineering interest them.

ENGINEERING

According to Colorado School of Mines enrollment data, women accounted for a third of all 7,608 enrolled students in fall 2023. Additionally, the SWE chapter’s webpage states it has about 800 members, and is the largest SWE college chapter in the United States and the largest professional student organization on the Mines campus.

Nimey hoped to see both SWE membership and women’s enrollment at Mines increase in the coming years, thanks in part to Girls Are SMART and similar programs throughout the country.

If so, today’s participants will be tomorrow’s organizers and volunteers, helping to encourage the next generation of scientists just as Golden’s Eva Christianson now is.

Christianson, a Mines junior studying mechanical engineering, recalled attending similar events when she went to Golden High

School. ese events were crucial in solidifying her interest in studying engineering, she said.

Northglenn’s Jessica Tomshack, a fellow junior and mechanical engineering major, emphasized how crucial it is to get girls involved and help them feel encouraged to study STEM at a young age, and to “show them what the options are” as far as future careers, she added.

Students today; leaders tomorrow

For the Girls Are SMART participants, the March 9 event was simply a fun opportunity to make new friends and learn new things.

First-grader Hannah Woolley said her favorite station was making cotton-ball shooters. Meanwhile, second-graders Amelia Zeller and Lyla Premschak said they enjoyed the elephant toothpaste the most, as they liked watching the substances react and the colorful foam rise out of the bottle.

Lyla and her family said several of her Castle Rock schoolmates signed up for the event after their elementary school sent out information. Lyla appreciated how all the Oredigger vol-

unteers were “nice and helpful,” and enjoyed making a new friend.

Although Lyla’s dad is an engineer and Mines alumnus, mom Bre Premschak signed her up because “it shows the opportunities (in engineering) for girls too.” Plus, Lyla is an advanced learning student, so Bre believed the Girls Are SMART activities would “add onto those experiences” at school.

Similarly, ornton’s Zeller family signed Amelia up after hearing about it from a local teacher. Because Amelia’s shown an interest in environmental studies, her parents said it was important for her to be “surrounded by likeminded women” in her fellow participants and their Mines mentors.

e Woolleys, who live in Highlands Ranch, also heard about Girls Are SMART from a previous participant, and thought it’d be perfect for Hannah as she loves math and science. Plus, the event was special because it was for girls, her mom Maggie Woolley said.

“Anything we can do to encourage it,” dad Mike Woolley said of Hannah’s love for math and science.

Participants at the Girls Are SMART event look at a hand diagram they made at the March 9 event on the Colorado School of Mines campus. About 130 elementary school students from across the Denver area participated in the third annual event, hosted by Mines’ Society of Women Engineers chapter.

Why, then, is Evergreen’s Highway 74 not being chosen for such a structure? Evergreen missed the opportunity to be approved for a wildlife crossing structure on its state highway years ago when the last parcel of land adjoining Highway 74 was developed. With private property on one side or the other along Highway 74, there is nowhere for a structure to be built.

Getting comfortable with driving at the speed limit, quickly reacting to oncoming vehicles’ ashing lights and slowing or stopping when other drivers are doing so (what do they see that you can’t?), and waiting in place while elk herds cross the road are behaviors we must cultivate.

Parents and pop ups work together

Earlier this year, members of the Colorado State Legislature wisely introduced a bill aiming to prevent social media overuse among kids and teens.  e concern over the addictive lure of the Internet and personal devices on today’s kids is praiseworthy and justi able. A recent poll commissioned by Healthier Colorado reveals that 82% of those surveyed believe social media has a negative impact on youth mental health, and 75% said they would support a new law to restrict it.

As a parent coach and adolescent mentor for the past 18 years, I o er here a deeper dive into how family dynamics can greatly support the e ectiveness of pop ups.

First, the advent of “screens” is like nothing we’ve ever seen. Unlike family-oriented television

programming that invites families to watch together, our personal devices are set up to keep users engaged for longer periods of time by any means necessary. Platforms like video games, YouTube, Rumble, and social media (TikTok, Snapchat, etc.) o er an enticing menu of “synthetic connectedness” that has conned a generation and ba ed parents across the globe.

e lure is dopamine, a chemical that acts on areas of the brain to give you feelings of pleasure, satisfaction and motivation. For

example, when we exercise hard the body will give us a healthy dopamine response. Using screens activates the brain’s reward center by releasing dopamine but does so with minimal e ort on our part.  Unfortunately, in the place our children go for hours on end to get “likes” (short dopamine bursts), they instead get stuck in loops of comparison or worse yet, bullied relentlessly at a level that often shocks and terri es parents, leading to depression and at times selfharm.

Parents can help immensely to reduce the time spent on screens by increasing the amount of time together working toward healthy connection. ere will, of course, be challenges along the way because the slow burn to good feelings is not as e ortless as watching a one-minute cute cat video. It turns out, however, that spending time with family members, making eye contact, and talking, is one of the easiest ways to create connections and one of the most grounding things we can do for one another.

short- re unsustainable dopamine hits, meant to keep them glued, ignoring pop ups and looking for the next hit.

What may surprise some parents is that in the process, we start paying attention to how much time we are captured on our own devices, searching through texts and emails for work-related activities stealing from time meant for healthy attachments and connections with our kids. No matter who’s doing it, it has the same e ect: less connection with family members.

A good beginning is to make time each day for “no phone zones.”

MENTOR

Boxing can help with some of the mood disorders – particularly depression -- because it provides people living with the disease with an outing. “It gets them out of their head for a bit,” Hill said. “Someone is ghting the battle of their life, but they still leave here with a smile on their face.”

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, an estimated 50%-80% of those living with Parkinson’s will eventually experience dementia as the disease progresses.

Boxing can also help with this, as the memorization work of learning a series of combination punches targets the cognitive symptoms.

“When they come in, they have doubts that they can do things, but when they walk out the door, they’re believing they can do them,” said Ryan Ehtessabian, Hill’s business

partner. “It’s the little things – walking a dog or grocery shopping. ey can maintain an active lifestyle, even though they’re battling Parkinson’s symptoms.”

Tao of Boxing

Hill, 42, has been boxing since he was a young child. Being smaller in stature than the rest of the kids his age – he is 5-foot and 6-inches as an adult — Hill got bullied and picked on in school. So his dad got him involved with boxing.

“It ended up being the best thing for me,” he said.

Hill had dropped out of school as a youth, but with the mentorship he received from Dillon, he eventually moved to Colorado and pursued higher education. While in college, he obtained a job at the YMCA in downtown Denver and worked his way up, eventually founding its boxing program and becoming the program’s

rst Black director. Later, he obtained a job as the boxing director of the Denver Athletic Club.

Hill, now a master trainer and boxing coach — who trains UFC ghters, professional boxers and amateur boxers alike — opened Tao of Boxing, 4416 E. 8th Ave. in Denver, in 2015. e gym had been o ering the Parkinson’s and cancer boxing training for a while, but was able to get the nonpro t arm, Movement by TOB — which provides boxing training for people living with Parkinson’s and cancer – o the ground in March 2021. It is governed by a ve-member board, and the nonpro t status allows Movement by TOB to accept donations so that it can provide the training for Parkinson’s and cancer patients to those who need it at low or no cost.

“I’ve been given an opportunity,” Hill said. “I have the skill set, and I want to help others. Being able to better their lives goes a long way.”

Ehtessabian, who has been with Tao of Boxing since 2018, recently moved to California and is opening a Tao of Boxing in Orange County. His grandfather had Parkinson’s disease when he died, and Ehtessabian expects Movement by TOB to be implemented in California as well.

“Boxing brings out a level of challenge,” he said. “And the bene ts that come from that are incredible.”

Dillon couldn’t be prouder of his friend Hill, he said.

Living with Parkinson’s disease for about 13-14 years now, Dillon contin-

ues to do the boxing-based exercises that Hill designs for him about four times a week.

“Boxing is a wonderful combination of training and friendship,” Dillon said.

Hill agrees.

“It’s about giving people a path,” Hill said. “Not my path, but their path.”

Standley Lake stays undefeated with shutout of Bear Creek

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — Standley Lake’s girls soccer team has already matched its win total from last season and Class 4A Je co League play hasn’t even begun for the Gators (5-0-1 record).

First-year coach Stephen Tallman has Standley Lake on a 5-game winning streak after a 4-0 shutout victory over Bear Creek on Friday night at Lakewood Memorial Field. Tallman said he is surprised that the Gators only won ve games last season.

“ e chemistry is good,” Tallman said about his team that’s only blemish is a 1-1 tie against Denver South in Standley Lake’s season opener. “ e girls really care about each other and play for each other.”

Standley Lake already has four shutout victories and have outscored its opponents 28 to 2 in six games.

Standley Lake scored twice in the rst and second half Friday night to grab the shutout victory.

Junior Macy Palmer, who has majority played goalie for the Gators this season, got the scoring going with a header in the 5th minute to put Standley Lake up 1-0.

“ is was a game that we wanted to get everyone on the eld,” Palmer said. “We wanted to get everyone involved.”

Junior Corynn Kjederquist gave the Gators a 2-0 lead with a goal in the 16th minute against Bear Creek (1-4-1). A nice shot from senior Jillian Bundgaard pushed the lead to 3-0 in the 44th minute.

Senior Jocelyn Beeson nished out the scoring with a goal in the 77th minute. Senior Victoria Herrera got the shutout victory in net for the Gators.

“I think we can carry this momentum into league,” Palmer said. “I think we can qualify for state too.”

Tallman admitted the competition will get tougher when Standley Lake begins conference play next week. Keeping the winning streak going will be key.
