Even with the suspect vehicle in hand, a Dec. 16 hit-and-run accident on Lookout Mountain Road is still under investigation, according to Colorado State Patrol. One cyclist was seriously injured and another sustained minor injuries after being hit by a green Ford Mustang. Authorities found it abandoned nearby shortly after, and CSP Sgt. Troy Kessler said it had a license plate on it and is not believed to have been stolen. On the afternoon of Dec. 16, three cyclists were traveling along Lookout Mountain Road. They were about 1.3 miles west of Bonvue Drive when two Ford Mustangs — a green one in the lead and a blue one behind it — approached them. According to Kessler, the entire group was on a curve in the road when the green Mustang attempted to pass the blue one. As it did so, the green Mustang reportedly hit the cyclists. David Keating, a 44-year-old from Lakewood, was seriously injured; 47-year-old Michael Lee from Arvada sustained minor injuries; and the third cyclist didn’t sustain any injuries, Kessler stated. After the incident was reported, authorities found the green Mustang with its airbags deployed farther up Lookout Mountain Road. It’s unclear whether the airbags were deployed by hitting the cyclists or a guardrail while fleeing the scene, as a CBS Colorado report described. Kessler said he didn’t know where exactly it was recovered, but officers from CSP and Jeffco Sheriff ’s Office searched the surrounding area for the occupants.

As of Jan. 2, Kessler said investigators are following up on “potential leads” on the driver. While every case is different, he said it’s not unusual for hit-and-run investigations to take weeks or months to complete. “There’s a bunch of things that have to happen to identify the driver unless they’re fully cooperative … to put them in the vehicle at the time of the crash,” he continued. “That takes time.” If charges are filed in the case, Kessler said the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office would be responsible for notifying the media and public via a press release. Brionna Boatright, spokesperson for the DA’s Office, confirmed CSP hasn’t presented the case to the DA’s Office yet. If it does, she stated in an email she could announce the charges if she’s aware of the case. In the meantime, Keating is still recovering from the Dec. 16 accident. On a GoFundMe page, his loved ones stated he sustained a subdural hematoma, several fractures in his neck and spine, and a fractured femur. “David is self-employed, and will likely be unable to work for many months,” organizer Sarah Roman wrote on the GoFundMe page. “ … The road to recovery will be long.” Roman increased the fundraising amount to $50,000 to help Keating and his family while he’s unable to work. As of Jan. 4, 581 donors had raised $49,253 of the $50,000 goal. Lookout Mountain Road is a popular spot for cyclists, but doesn’t have bike lanes in either direction. Additionally, most if not the entire road is considered a nopassing area because of the continual curves. “If that had been an SUV, it would’ve been a different story for sure,” Lee told CBS Colorado shortly after the crash. “The fact that (the green Mustang) kept going and put more people in danger. I don’t even know how to process that.”

I Bought Some Jeffco Property Tax Liens at Auction; Here’s What I Learned

In Colorado, if you haven’t paid your property taxes by June, your county sells the resulting tax lien at auction a few months later. In Jefferson County, that auction was held online over Nov. 6 and 7, and I decided to buy a few in Golden, where I live, to learn about the process so I could share it with you, my readers. This year, 85 other buyers and I purchased a total of 1,130 tax liens totaling $6.4 million, paying a premium of $400,415 or 6.25% more overall than what was actually owed in property taxes plus accrued interest and fees by the property owners. The county treasurer received the $6.4 million on behalf of the properties’ respective tax districts, and the $400,415 went to the county’s general fund. The reason people purchase tax liens is to pocket the 15% interest that is added to the taxes owed. When the property owner “redeems” his property, he basically pays the lien holder the amount of the lien plus interest from the date of the sale through the date of redemption. Thus, if the taxpayer takes a year to pay it, I earn 15% interest minus the premium which I paid. If he redeems it soon after I have purchased the lien, I

lose money depending on how much I bid up the lien amount. I chatted with a fellow lien buyer and learned his technique for making money on tax liens. He researches each property owner to determine whether he’s likely to pay quickly, slowly, or not at all. For example, was he delinquent in prior years? I didn’t do any of that research, so I have no idea whether a year or two from now I will be counting my profits or my losses on the four liens I purchased. I’ll chalk up any losses to the cost of publishing this column! Statistically, 7% of tax liens are redeemed within a month of the sale, 22% within 3 months, and 38% within 6 months. It’s been two months since the sale, and none of my four tax liens have been redeemed. All but 4% of purchased tax liens are redeemed within 4 years. In the next column is a chart showing how many tax liens were sold at auction since 2001, so you can see that this year’s numbers are not much different than in prior years. The $6.4 million figure is higher than last year, but can be attributed in part to the increase in assessed valuation of Jeffco properties. Fifty-two tax liens totaling $13,909 were not purchased in the online auc-

One was a home with a possible meth issue, and the other was an abandoned gas station that remains closed and unsold 3 years later. Until 2004, tax liens were sold at the county treasurer’s office in a live auction, but since then it has been conducted online by a vendor in a very streamlined manner. I was impressed at how easy it was for buyers to participate. In my posting of this article on Substack, I provide more details from the treasurer’s office about this complicated topic.

Additionally, once the weather warms, Blue Pan will host outdoor seating on its covered and uncovered patios, and introduce a children’s play area. Flanagin said he and his team had to hire 50 people for the new location, saying it takes a good deal of time to train everyone and figure out how to run the kitchen. He added: “The guest experience is critical.” Flanagin, a Golden resident, said he’s thrilled to see the community’s positive reception. “We have been busy every night,” he continued. “The community is beyond awesome. … The outdoor dining scene (in Golden) is good, and we hope to add to that.” For more information, including up-to-date hours and online ordering options, visit bluepandenver. com. Golden Moon Distillery and Speakeasy for sale

Fans of the Golden Moon Distillery now have the chance to put their name on the label — for the right price. The local distillery and its downtown Golden tasting room, the

Golden Moon Speakeasy, are both for sale. According to a recent New Mill Capital press release, the sale includes the fully equipped distillery at 412 Violet St., all intellectual property, works in progress, and finished products. Stephen Gould and Karen Knight started the Golden Moon label in 2008. The distillery now produces whiskeys, gins and other spirits for distribution in 14 states and several international markets, with plans to expand in 2024. The Golden Moon brand has won several awards, including the American Distilling Institute’s Distillery of the Year Award in 2019. Gould, Golden Moon’s owner and master distiller, described in the December press release how he’s “poured so much effort into this project over the last 15 years” and wants to see Golden Moon reach its potential. Gould and New Mill Capital, a privately held asset disposition firm specializing in food and beverage plant sales, said the reason for sale is that Golden Moon “needs more horsepower,” as Gould put it, to maximize its potential. Gould added that he’s willing to stay on during the transition and “supporting the venture going forward in any way I can,” including continuing to serve as master distiller if desired.

Colorado’s Healthy Meals for All program sees dramatic increase in daily meals served year Jefferson County school district veteran said she sees the impact on low-income families daily. “One mom of three kids in my school missed qualifying for free lunch by $1 last year,” Cisneros said. “She used to worry constantly about how to feed her kids lunch. It’s been a huge burden lifted from her shoulders.” Cisneros also sees how free meals have changed students’ attitudes toward going through the lunch line. “I’ve been told it’s now cool to get your food for free. There’s no stigma — everyone just gets to eat.” Cisneros said she used to risk getting reprimanded for giving kids who had nothing to eat without charging them, but she couldn’t stand letting any child in her school go hungry. It makes her happy to know that it’s no longer an issue. According to Agar, parents can save more than $1,250 per student each year, alleviating financial stress while food and living costs rise. Feeding more students doesn’t come without challenges, however. Kitchens remain understaffed, and Cisneros says by the time some kids get through the line, they’ve sold out of meals, or the student has little time to eat before lunch is over.

Agar acknowledged the issue and noted that districts could apply for grants for more local purchasing, scratch cooking training, and wage boosts for front-line staff next year. She’s hoping the wage increases will help address some of these issues. Parents have also communicated that they’d like more fresh and culturally relevant options in the coming years. While those plans are in the works, Agar said families can partner with school districts through student and parent advisory committees to help provide students with more enticing food. Phase II implementation

The next phase of HSMA implementation, which begins in the ‘24-’25 school year, allows schools to apply for local purchasing grants for high-quality, locally sourced food. “When the HSMA program is fully implemented, it will have one of the most robust farm-to-school programs in the nation,” Agar said. “Farmers and producers are already strategizing how to use the newly available resources to strengthen local food systems and support small farmers.” SEE MEALS, P20

On any given day, as many as 400 students pass through Andrea Cisneros’s lunch line at West Woods Elementary in Arvada. Depending on the meal, that number is roughly 100200 more than she’s used to serving in prior years. The increased demand is due to the voter-approved Healthy School Meals for All initiative run by the Colorado Department of Education. The program allows all students access to free school meals regardless of family income. When the bill passed, many speculated more students would take advan-

tage of the program because it would reduce the stigma associated with qualifying for free or reduced lunch and eliminate financial constraints for others. Yet, no one knew for sure. After five months, the verdict is in. Ellie Agar, director of communications for Hunger-Free Colorado, the organization that led the campaign to pass the HSMA program, confirmed schools are seeing an average increase of 30-40% in lunch and breakfast participation. “The increase is even higher among students who previously didn’t participate in free or reduced-priced lunch either due to income or stigma,” Agar said.

Polis pitches pollinator protection Governor unveils health study at Butterfly Pavilion event BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As vivid groups of butterflies flitted above his head Wednesday, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis produced a plan the state’s scientists and wildlife officials hope will head off an “insect apocalypse.” The 308-page Colorado Native Pollinating Insects Health Study is the

first-of-its-kind probe into pollinator health in Colorado. The study was authorized under SB22-199, sponsored by state senators Sonya Jaquez Lewis and Kevin Priola, and representatives Cathy Kipp and Meg Froelich. The study gauges the health of Colorado’s native pollinators and makes recommendations on how to protect native pollinators in Colorado, Polis told a crowd at the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster on Jan. 3. “This is a landmark event,” Polis said. “This will help us with a path forward to preserving the state’s pollinators.” Colorado is home to various native

insects and bats who pollinate the state’s farms and ranches, flowering plants and the state’s ecosystem, Polis said. Pollinators are also key to the state’s economy. “From Crested Butte’s beautiful spring meadows to Palisade peaches and Rocky Ford melons, Colorado’s pollinators sustain our flora and enable many foundational industries in every corner of the state,” Polis said in a news release. “As our climate changes, we must safeguard the pollinators that generate and regenerate the Colorful Colorado we love.” Colorado is home to over 1,000 species of bees – nearly 30% of

North America’s and about 5% of the world’s bee species – and nearly 300 species of butterflies. That represents over 40% of the diversity of butterflies in North America north of Mexico, some of which are already listed under the federal Endangered Species Act, according to the news release. Many pollinators – including bees – are facing worldwide extinction from loss of habitat and from the harmful use of pesticides, Richard Reading, vice president of science and preservation at the Butterfly Pavilion.

BUTTERFLY PAVILION SUMMER CAMPS COMING The Butterfly Pavilion will have new and doubled capacity for its upcoming 2024 summer camps with registration opening on Jan. 8. Summer Rosie’s Discovery Camps for the summer offers “children the opportunity to embrace their inner explorer, exploring Butterfly Pavilion’s exhibits and gardens through education activities and creating educational crafts,” according to a Pavilion news release. The Pavilion offers camps for ages 5-6, 7-9 and 10-12. Butterfly Pavilion’s new offsite summer camps near the Denver Metro area offer a

variety of experiences and intend to introduce children to the “extraordinary world of invertebrates,” the news release states. The five-day summer camps will be held Monday-Friday, and the various themes include Aquatic Adventures, Spineless Superheroes, Natures Engineers, and river Quest. All camps for ages 5-9 are on site at Butterfly Pavilion. Camps for ages 10-12 are hosted at various locations and include a field trip to Butterfly Pavilion.

A Cumbia New Years celebration Latin dance genre a hit at Salon Ocampo

Mexico and the United States. This expansion allows different people to discover Cumbia and give their unique twist to the genre of music. Rene Perez, who has been a Sonidero for 42 years and is a part of Amistad Caracas, explains that the Sonideros themselves set Cumbia Sonidera apart from other types of Cumbia. The Sonideros are a crucial and distinct feature of this subgenre. “The DJ doesn’t speak, but a Sonidero does. The DJ mixes the Sonidera music and brings in different types of music that the DJ dedicates himself to,” Perez said. “With mixed music, you need to learn the beats and mixing, but the Sonidero doesn’t. He feels the music, and we are used to the bass.” The Sonidero speaks and sends shout-outs on their behalf or from requests of the people, he said. It helps create a sense of community in the music, which is important to the neighborhoods in Mexico City. “We try to transmit what the people like,” Perez said.

The New Year didn’t arrive quietly at Denver’s Salon Ocampo, which gave the old year a loud goodbye with lights, screens, dance and music. Salon Ocampo is no stranger to the Mexican music scene. The event center brought four Sonideros who joined Denver-based performers the Grupo Kaoba to give a bright welcome to the New Year Dec. 30. As owner of Salon Ocampo Ivan Sosa, who performed at the event as DJ Barrio Sonidero, was excited to host the final event of the year featuring Cumbia Sonidera. Sosa manages two to three Cumbia Sonidera events per year, aside from hosting quinceañeras and weddings at Salon Ocampo. His preparation for the Cumbia Sonidera event started a week and a half before the event, and Sosa worked with his peers to set up screens, speakers, lights, and audio to ensure a strong party atmosphere for the end of the year. The inspiration behind having an event of Cumbia Sonidera came from Sosa’s love of the music of Mexico. “I love the Sonidera music, especially here in Denver, Colorado, I have given it my all with the audio. Music has been my life and the audio too since I was a kid. I’ve always done it,” Sosa said. The Cumbia Sonidera subgenre has a long history. Cumbia comes from Colombia but has expanded over time to different regions of

Sonidera around the globe

Although the origins of Cumbia Sonidera are not well known, many say that the subgenre of music took flight in the neighborhoods of Mexico City. Cumbia Sonidera keeps growing in terms of fans and in style. Inspired by Mexico City’s Cumbia Sonidera, performers in Ecuador have developed their own style called Cumbia Villera. Now, new generations are mixing the Reggaeton genre – itself a mix of Reggae and Latin dance hall music – into Cumbia Sonidera. This subgenre continues to evolve and Sonidera beats can be heard through the heartbeats of many Latinos. SEE CELEBRATION, P20

VOICES After hours fun at the library

eing a parent of a teenager can present its fair share of challenges. There are plenty of those to list, but one that most parents have in common is finding something fun and entertaining for them to do on a weekend that they won’t think is too childish and gives them the feeling that they are doing something “adult” without being inappropriate for kids their age. So, asking them “Why don’t you go down to the library?” on a Friday night might seem like the type of suggestion that would just make most of them laugh out loud. “Seriously? Go to the library?” Most of the time that would not get a good reaction. But there’s a lot more going on at our local Golden Library than just reading and checking out books. It has a whole series of events scheduled that are a lot of fun, and there is one this weekend that might just be the ticket to get teens interested. The library is presenting a series called Teens After Hours, featuring things like Laser Tag and Pool Noodle Sword Fights, but this coming weekend there’s going to be one that sounds a little bit more

“adult:” a murder. After hours. In the library. There might even be a butler involved. It’s actually called a Noxhelm Murder Mystery and it’s based on one of the murder mystery party games created by Masters of Mystery. John Akal These are interactive adventures where you team up with other people and try to solve a crime together and unleash your inner Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot. Here’s the description of the Noxhelm chapter: “You’re invited to a housewarming party at 203 Moorgate Street, famously known as the Ripper House. Mix and mingle while getting acquainted with the new owners. Rest assured, there’s no need to worry about the swirling rumors surrounding the property – after all, what harm could possibly befall you or any of the other guests on this auspicious evening, right? Unravel the whodunit at our

AVENUE FLASHES

Murder Mystery Party, featuring the Noxhelm Murders Mystery Game by mymysteryparty.com. These after-hour events are for the 12-18 age group. Registration is required.” Sounds like a fun way to spend an evening. It’s the type of thing adults attend and usually they are rather expensive and involve some kind of cocktail party. These ones at the library are free to attend and you don’t have to dress up. OK, so when and where is it happening? This coming Friday, Jan. 12 from 6-8 p.m. at the Golden Library, which is located at 1019 10th St. here in Golden. As mentioned, you are going to have to register for it, so go to jeffcolibrary.org then click on “Events.” Under “Audience” in the drop-down menu, click on “Teens.” Then scroll down to find this one. Click on that and you will find a place to register for it. While you are there, check out all the other events lined up for teens at the Golden Library as well as all the other libraries in the county. There is all kinds of fun stuff going on over there. Also, don’t forget to share this with your kids.

They probably aren’t reading this column, so go to the link on your phone, copy it into a text message and send it to them. Then yell downstairs at them to check their text messages. It’s 2024. That’s how we do things nowadays. Do they even sell those magnetic note pads for the refrigerator anymore? Just so you know, it’s things like this that I am logging in the back of my mind. I don’t have any kids of that age right now, but I do have grand nieces and nephews who will be teens soon. These are the kinds of things I’ll be suggesting to their parents and should be a good solution for most of the kids. Except for my 6-year-old grand niece, who somehow got it in her head that all she wants to be is biker girl and is just waiting for me to pass my purple Harley on to her when I’m too old to ride it. I have no idea where she might have gotten that idea. John Akal is a well-known jazz artist/drummer and leader of the 20-piece Ultraphonic Jazz Orchestra. He also is president of John Akal Imaging, professional commercial photography and multimedia production. He can be reached at jaimaging@aol.com.

What should we call that 14er above Crestone? It’s called Kit Carson, but a state advisory board in January will review alternatives more acceptable to the Diné and others

y hike up Kit Carson Peak in June 2000 began with great ambition and ended with confusion. Confusion remains now, almost 24 years later, if in a different way. We’re

not sure what to call the 14,167foot summit in the Sangre de Cristo Range. My 12 hours above treeline that day left me hypoxic, my brain suffering from too little oxygen. I insisted that the route down took Alleen Best us the west side of Willow Lake, but my companions knew better. Now I contemplate what to call Kit Carson from the floor of the San Luis Valley. A proposal before the Colo-

BIG PIVOTS

rado Geographic Naming Advisory Board would have us call it Frustum Peak. A frustum is a flat-topped cone or pyramid. Still others prefer Crestone, as was considered — but rejected — by a federal board in 2011. Two other 14,000-foot peaks, Crestone Peak and Crestone Needle, lie a short distance away. Three 14ers named Crestone? One stone too many. Other names may yet be considered. Colorado also has a town and a county named Kit Carson, but neither is up for change as they are not on federal land. The state advisory board members will resume their discussion on Jan. 24. They will also review alternatives

to Garfield County’s Dead Mexican Gulch, Jefferson County’s Redskin Creek and Redskin Mountain and Montezuma County’s Negro Draw. Whatever they recommend will be just that. The U.S. Board of Geographic Names has final authority for names on federal lands as Colorado seeks to cleanse its geographic drawers of names with tawdry historical footnotes. Earlier this year, the 14er west of Denver gained a new name, Blue Sky. It had been called Evans, after the territorial governor in 1864 who seemingly turned a blind eye to the Sand Creek Massacre.

Blood and Thuder

Christopher Houston “Kit” Carson has a more confused and interesting story. Born in Kentucky, reared in Missouri, he fled an apprenticeship in leathermaking for western adventures. As a fur trapper, he was quite successful. He survived. Like other trappers, he found friends – and foes – among the native Americans, taking two of them as spouses. One called it quits, putting his belongings outside their teepee, as was the custom. Taos was his favored home. His remains are buried there along with those of Josefa, his final wife. They both died in southeastern Colorado, at Boggsville, near today’s Las Animas. By then, he was General Carson in the U.S. Army. Consult “Blood and Thunder,” by Hampton Sides, for an immensely rewarding read about Carson. Sides acknowledges the complexities of Carson and other frontiersmen. “The mountain men lived with Indians, fought alongside and against them, loved them, married them, buried them, gambled and smoked with them,” he writes. Trappers unwittingly left a more damning legacy. “As the forerunners of Western civilization, creeping up the river valleys and across the mountain passes, the trappers brought smallpox and typhoid, they brought guns and whiskey and venereal disease, they brought the puzzlement of money and the gleam of steel. And on their liquored breath they whispered the coming of an unimaginable force, of a gathering shadow on the eastern horizon, gorging itself on the continent as it pressed steadily this way.” That is the conundrum of Carson.

It‘s also the question many of us ask ourselves. Will we leave the world a better place – or worse? Or both? While in the U.S. Army, Carson was responsible for corralling the recalcitrant Navajo, who had long been feared by Spanish, Hispanic and Anglo settlers because of their persistent raiding and sometimes killing. He complained to superiors about the lack of provisions for the Navajo as he marched them to an encampment in eastern New Mexico. Once there, a third died. Afterward, although gravely ill, Carson accompanied Ute leaders to Washington D.C. at their request to represent them in meetings with President Ulysses Grant and others. His story was complicated. Carson was mythologized in his own time. Today, we tend to idealize Native Americans even while we fail, in some important ways, to pay them their due, such as their water rights in the Colorado River Basin. A former newspaper columnist in Colorado Springs responded to my ruminations on Facebook with this: “In our re-naming craze, we should not name anything after humans anymore. It turns out that all humans put their pants on one leg at a time.” Conquerors generally name things in their own honor. Sometimes, we do honor the vanquished. To honor Utes, among Colorado’s 14ers we also have Antero, Shavano, and Tabeguache. We have none to honor Navajos, who call themselves Diné. If they emphatically dislike Kit Carson, so far they have not proposed a replacement. We already have a Conundrum Peak, near Aspen. I suggest Complicated Peak. Mount Confusion could work, too.

OBITUARIES PAYTE

Harold L Payte

February 15, 1930 - August 11, 2023

Harold Payte, 93, of Golden, Colorado, passed away peacefully on Friday, August 11. Harold was born February 15, 1930, on a farm near Mariana, Arkansas, to Sina Belle and Fred Payte. The family eventually settled in Colorado where he lived for the rest of his life. Born the tenth of thirteen siblings provided ample teasing, playing, and learning from older brothers and sisters. Harold went to Wheat Ridge High School, but became bored and impatient with school, so dropped out to start making a living. He and Betty married in 1948 when he was eighteen and she was seventeen. At 17, he got a job driving a dog food route for Purina Chows, transitioning to management of Purina’s Farmer’s Feed and Garden Supply in Arvada. Following twenty-one years in the animal feed business, he was presented with an opportunity to purchase a different kind of feed store – a Dairy Queen. The Dairy Queen’s annual conventions launched Harold and Betty into world travel with memorable trips to Spain, Italy, Portugal, and, of course, across the US and Canada. Eventually their Dairy Queen legacy was built to a chain of four stores. In 1970 Harold started his 42-year run with the Arvada Rotary Club, which not TOWLE

only allowed him to give back to his community, but also brought with it dozens of life-long friends, and more international travel. To celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary, he and Betty, despite never having biked before, joined an eightday trip from Germany to Vienna. That was the catalyst for them starting a cycling club with friends, and every fall for ten years, they toured by bike, creating some of their most treasured memories. Harold reflected that he had a very happy life. He even respected the rough times in life and marriage in that they came with very valuable lessons, noting, “I am a better man today than the one Betty married.” Harold is survived by daughter Amy (Jim) Clark, granddaughters Jamie (Kenny Lee) Clark and Kellie Clark, grandson Aaron Dierks, and sisters, Mary Moran and Nelline Kornock. He was preceded in death by his wife of 74 years, Betty (Klein) Payte, daughter, Patty Dierks, his grandson, Eric Hans Dierks, and his brothers and many of his sisters. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Harold’s name to Flatirons Chamber Music Festival: Crossing the Divide. https://www.flatironscmf.org/support

Ann Louise (Stoppel) Towle

November 25, 1927 - December 31, 2023

It was there that she met and fell in love with her husband, Guy Towle. They lived in several states, including California, New Mexico, Texas, and Colorado, but eventually settled in Golden, Colorado, in 1972.

Ann is survived by her three children, seven grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. However, she was preceded in death by her husband, Guy Towle, her partner of 55 years, and Diana Towle Cheatum, her daughter of 59 years.

LIFE Wringing out the new year Dry January attracts sober curious

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

hile it’s long been trendy for New Year’s resolutions to focus on improving health, a growing group of people is tackling that goal by participating in Dry January. Dry January is a 31-day challenge to not drink any alcoholic beverages, serving as a sort of cleanse after the winter holidays when it’s common to drink more excessively. According to a February 2023 poll from CivicScience, 16% of American adults abstained from alcohol last year for the challenge. There’s a multitude of physical and mental health benefits from cutting out alcohol, even temporarily, said Jill Hefti Breed, a family nurse practitioner at AdventHealth, such as better sleep, improved blood pressure, reduced indigestion and potential weight loss. Hefti Breed cited a 2018 study on Dry January participants that corroborated the advantages of going alcohol-free. “By week one, you’re sleeping better, you have better decision-making, you’re more creative and you tend to have better eating patterns,” she said. “The liver gets a chance to clear out fats, which even for a month can be quite beneficial. We also see that with the stomach if it’s inflamed from alcohol.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends women limit drinking to one drink per day and men limit drinks to two per day. Hefti Breed said even drinking the recommended amount comes with a higher risk for some cancers. She pointed to break periods, like Dry January, as a tool to evaluate how alcohol impacts an individual’s quality of life. “Don’t be afraid to talk to your health care provider and ask questions because you won’t be labeled and there’s no dumb questions,” Hefti Breed said. Kayla Phillips, general manager at Golden Moon Speakeasy, said her own experience with Dry January prompted her to create a mocktail program at the bar in 2021 that focuses on maintaining the experience that comes with drinking craft cocktails. Options for teetotalers at Golden Moon aren’t the typical bitters and soda water or juice mixes that most bars offer. That’s because the mocktails, which are crafted with housemade ingredients, include mimics of

the bar’s popular original drinks and unique combinations of teas, syrups, juices and sodas. “I wanted to make drinks that were clearly intentional,” she said. “For the house classics that are a staple on our menu, I wanted to make nonalcoholic twins of those so it doesn’t even have to look like you’re not drinking.” Phillips said her goal with her mocktail options is to make it worth the value and equal in experience to a cocktail. For example, the bar serves a drink called Phoenix Down, which is a play on a smoked whiskey old fashioned that comes in both alcoholic and alcohol-free options. Both options come with a fancy presentation where the drinks are smoked and served tableside. “When we pour the drink from the bottle (it’s mixed in) to the glass, the smoke comes out before the liquid does and gives a really cool effect,” Phillips said. “It adds a wow factor and I think especially when people order nonalcoholic, they’re not expecting a full show.” Since the speakeasy started offering its nonalcoholic options, they have gotten more popular across a broad spectrum, Phillips said. “It’s not only people who are interested in only mocktails, but it’s a good option for people who aren’t trying to drink all night or want to alternate,” she said. “I see more mocktail orders in these months because I think people get overwhelmed with holiday drinking obligations.” This January, Phillips is supporting her customers who have health resolutions by creating a seasonal menu of drinks, with and without liquor, that use less sugar and highlight superfoods, such as a carrot turmeric tonic. Find Golden Moon Speakeasy at 1111 Miner’s Alley in Golden. For Dry January participants who want to avoid the temptation of a bar, but still want to enjoy group activities and social events, The Phoenix provides in-person and online sober get-togethers throughout the state. Vince Huseman, community engagement manager for The Phoenix, said the concept started in Boulder in 2006 with the desire to maintain an active social life without substances. Volunteers organize fitness and entertainment activities, such as CrossFit, comedy nights, dance parties and hikes, all across the state that are free for sober participants. SEE DRY JANUARY, P15

DRY JANUARY FROM PAGE 14

Huseman said the events are inclusive of people who are in recovery, fully sober, sober-curious and sober allies. He added that activities are accessible to people of all abilities and skill levels. The only participation requirement is to be sober for 48 hours before the event. “We make our events accessible for everyone and will tailor activities so that even folks with no experience can participate,” Huseman said. “Folks will come for our events that we lead, but I think they stay for the community.” The group works to build a community of people who don’t imbibe in an effort to make the choice to not drink easier and help reduce stigma around sobriety and recovery, Huseman said. “I think when you’re with other people who are also sober or evaluating their relationship with alcohol, it helps you build a foundation for your sobriety,” he said. “Some of the events we’ve produced, such as our Denver Pride dance party, are really setting a new standard for sober fun.” On Jan. 25, The Phoenix is hosting its third annual open mic night, featuring a dozen performers with music, comedy and poetry at Free Spiritual Community in Denver. Huseman said he recommends the event to anyone interested in joining The Phoenix for the first time.

‘The Wind’ premieres at Su Teatro

eeing a theatrical production inspired by a blockbuster film is an increasingly common occurrence in modern times. But a production based on a lesserknown work from the silent movie era? That’s a little less common. But that’s just what David Nehls has done with “The Wind,” a new one-person musical he’s staging with actress Emily Van Fleet. The show is based on a 1928 silent film featuring Lillian Gish, which in turn was based on a novel written by Dorothy Scarborough (who published anonymously at the time) in 1925. “I’m a silent movie fan, and one viewing of this film really altered my thoughts,” Nehls, who wrote the music, lyrics and book, explained. “It’s really a beautifully made film and the emotions are so heightened — it’s the kind of thing you don’t see today. And I really thought it needed to be a musical, but not a typical one.” Nehls and Van Fleet having been working on the show since 2019 and did several virtual versions during the pandemic, but the performance for Stories on Stage at theSu Teatro Cultural and Performing Arts Center, 721 Santa Fe Drive in Denver, at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 14, will be the first time it’s been done in front of an audience. The production will feature Nehls, violinist Emily Lewis and cellist David Short providing musical accompaniment.

els from Virginia to Texas in the 1880s and is tormented by a seemingly neverending wind. As if the challenge of playing such a complex character isn’t enough, Van Fleet Clarke Reader plays all the characters she confronts throughout the story. “You can’t ask for better in this town than Emily and working on this with her has been a total joy,” Nehls said. “She is so versatile and can play so many emotions. Best of all, she’s not afraid of a challenge.” Musically, Nehls says the show has an operetta feel to it, with a lot of text working its way into the story. He was inspired by major film composers, like Bernard Herrmann, who frequently collaborated with Alfred Hitchcock, but also provides the show a bit of a pop ballad as well. While the show is only playing for one day only, the hope is that it could lead to a larger production. But regardless, Nehls is just excited to get it in front of audience. “We’re going to make it as perfect as we can and see what the experience will be like,” he said. “I hope it provides a glance at a historical period

We 3 reunite at Center for the Arts Evergreen

You never can tell how important the relationships you make in high school will be. For Grace Eberl, Kate Kennedy and Amy Thornton, that proved to be extremely true, as We 3, the new exhibition at the Center for the Arts Evergreen, 31880 Rocky Village Drive, beautifully demonstrates. The show runs through Wednesday, Feb. 10, with an opening reception on Thursday, Jan. 11 from 5 to 8 p.m. Eberl, Kennedy and Thornton met in the early 1970s as art students at Arvada West High School, all three taught by Mr. David Passarelli, and remained friends. Their styles have changed and evolved over the years, but the power of their connection remains strong. For more information on the show, visithttps://evergreenarts.org/event/ exhibition-we-3/.

I get a little leery anytime someone describes an artist as a “real” representative of any particular genre, but I don’t know how else to describe Canada’s Colter Wall other than to say he’s real western music. His arrangements are most often simple and direct and yet the power of his baritone cuts through all the noise and just grabs the listener — it has been out for years, but “Night Herding Song,” still knocks me back. I’m definitely not the only fan of Wall’s approach, as he’s gearing up for a three-evening run at the Mission Ballroom, 4242 Wynkoop St. in Denver. He’ll be performing at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 11, Friday, Jan. 12 and Saturday, Jan. 13. Get tickets at www.axs.com. Clarke Reader’s column on culture appears on a weekly basis.

A ‘snow drought’ is leaving the West’s mountains high and dry Across the West, the winter is off to a dry start. Wide swaths of the Rocky Mountains have lower-than-average snow totals for this time of year, but scientists say there’s still plenty of time to end the “snow drought” and close the gap. High-altitude snowpack has big implications for the region’s water supply. Two-thirds of the Colorado River’s water starts as snow in Colorado’s mountains before melting and flowing to about 40 million people across seven states. Nearly every part of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming has significantly less snow than usual for late December. The latest data from a region-wide network of snow sensors shows snow in many areas with snow totals around 60 or 70% of normal. “It’s really going to be dependent on what we see in January and February,” said Becky Bolinger, Colorado’s assistant state climatologist. “We’re really going to need an active January and February to make up these deficits and be okay.” Last year, big snows in the Rockies helped boost the Colorado River’s major reservoirs. Policymakers said the snowy winter lifted some pressure off of tense negotiations about sharing the river’s water in the future.

Even a few consecutive wet winters aren’t enough to seriously fix the supply-demand imbalance that fuels the West’s water crisis. More than 20 years of dry conditions, fueled by climate change, have shrunk the Colorado River’s water supply, and policymakers have been unable to agree on significant, long-term cutbacks to water use. Experts say it would take five or six consecutive above-average winters to close that supply-demand gap, which is unlikely to happen as climate change makes the region warmer and drier. Dan McEvoy, regional climatologist at the Western Regional Climate Center and Desert Research Institute, said last year’s wet winter was an “anomaly.” “Lots of data, lots of research, projections, modeling, all point to this continuing trend of warmer winters, less snow and in some cases, less precipitation,” he said. Last year’s snowy conditions did deliver one major positive for the Colorado River — soaking the soil and helping this year’s snow reach the streams, rivers and reservoirs where people collect water. Dry soil acts like a sponge and soaks up runoff. After a high-snow winter, the soggy soil will help make sure a higher percentage of the next year’s snowfall reaches waterways.

Skiers cruise down the slopes at Arapahoe Basin ski area in Colorado on Nov. 13, 2023. Low precipitation has left much of the region in a “snow drought,” which could have big implications for Colorado River water supply, but isn’t expected to deal a PHOTO BY ALEX HAGER KUNC financial blow to many ski resorts.

Despite the low snow, ski resorts may not be feeling much financial pain. Chad Dyer, managing director of ski website OnTheSnow, said a lot of ski traffic around the holidays is coming from tourists who cemented their plans in advance. “Their flights are booked, their lodging is booked. As long as the ski resort is open and has got a product, by and large, they’re going to visit,” Dyer said. Dyer also pointed to statistics from a recent Vail Resorts earnings call. The mountain ownership company said it expects 73% of its worldwide skier visits come from season passholders. That high volume of pre-purchased lift tickets allows ski resorts to depend

less on ticket sales that may ebb and flow with the quality of ski conditions. The next few weeks are unlikely to bring much immediate relief for Western mountains. “The medium– to long–range forecasts that go out about two weeks are not super promising,” McEvoy said. “There are some signs of some smaller storms that can impact parts of the West. But overall, it’s a pretty dry forecast.” This story is part of ongoing coverage of the Colorado River, produced by KUNC and supported by the Walton Family Foundation.

POLLINATOR FROM PAGE 9

“So much of our food comes from pollinators and I don’t think many people know the implications,” Reading said. After years of ignoring the problem, some work is being done to preserve pollinators, he said. The European Union has banned some pesticides that wipe out bees and other key insects. “There is real effort to apply pesticides more precisely so that whole groups of helpful insects aren’t killed,” Reading said. Pollinator districts are also emerging to allow the insects to thrive in pesticide-free zones, Reading said. “There is work going across

the world …to restore their habitats,” he said. “If nothing is done, all pollinators will die off in a few generations. “It will simply be an insect apocalypse,” Reading said. The state already promotes policies that benefit native pollinating insects including enhancing pollinator-friendly native plantings along I-76 following its designation as a Colorado Pollinator Highway by the Colorado Department of Transportation, according to the news release. Areas of immediate action and priorities highlighted by the Pollinator Report, according to the news release, include: Priority 1: Protect imperiled native pollinating insects. Priority 2: Protect, restore and connect pollinator habitats. Priority 3: Mitigate environmental changes that negatively

impact pollinators and their habitats. Priority 4: Reduce the risks from pesticides to pollinating insects. Priority 5: Monitor and support native and manage pollinator health. Polis’s annual budget includes $100,000 to support education and incentives to encourage the use of pesticide alternatives in agriculture production and residential or commercial landscaping, according to the news release. Colorado’s First Gentleman Marlon Reis, who also serves as the honorary chair of the Butterfly Pavilion’s Board of Directors, said the pollinator report will work as a guide as the state pursues pro-pollinator policies. “We haven’t always seen how linked we all are,” Reis said. “This gives us a roadmap to make things better.”

Top dogs: Orediggers edge out Cougars for 10th-straight win No. 8 Mines now 12-1 overall, 7-0 in conference BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLOROADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Whatever obstacles they face, the Colorado School of Mines women’s basketball players don’t give up. They’ve displayed a lot of grit, determination and indomitable spirit. Or, as players and coaches like to say, the Orediggers have a lot of “dog” in them, senior guard Ashley Steffeck said. “It just feels like this team refuses to lose,” she continued. “ … (We) have a lot of fight in us.” The No. 8 Orediggers passed their first test of 2024 on Jan. 6, rallying against the visiting Colorado Christian Cougars to win 80-73. Mines is now 12-1 overall and 7-0 in conference play. The team, now on a 10-game win streak, is at the top of the RMAC standings going into its Jan. 12-13 road games at CSU-Pueblo and New Mexico Highlands. On Jan. 6, the Orediggers struggled to shake off the dust they’d accumulated over an especially long winter break. They only scored one basket in the first six-and-a-half minutes of the game. Starting the second quarter down 20-12, they went on a tremendous 18-0 run and had a 42-33 lead at halftime. While the Orediggers kept the Cougars at arm’s length for part of the second half, they could never quite put them away. The Cougars chipped away at the deficit late in the third quarter and early in the fourth, and made it a one-point game with 9:30 left. Mines had a late run and came away with the W, but Steffeck and Coach Brittany Simpson said the team must be more consistent. Senior center Shelby Nichols pointed out how the Orediggers have had a lot of close games this season, and the Jan. 6 game “felt really streaky,” she added.

Colorado School of Mines senior guard Ashley Steffeck attempts a layup during the Jan. 6 home game against Colorado Christian. Steffeck racked up 15 points, nine PHOTO BY CORINNE WESTEMAN rebounds, eight assists and five steals against the Cougars.

“It felt like we had our really high highs, and our really low lows,” Nichols continued. “We really want to get that under control.”

Halfway there

The Orediggers hadn’t played a game in three weeks, as they last laced up Dec. 16 versus Western

Colorado. After a 10-day break, Steffeck said, they then had eight straight practices before the Jan. 6 game. Simpson said the break was especially long this season, maybe the longest ever, and it was arguably a double-edged sword. The Orediggers certainly needed a break, and the players came back from the holidays in shape and ready to go, Simpson said. The team had some much-needed time to refocus and work on some things, but that eight-practice stretch was probably too long, she continued. “It wore on us a little bit,” Simpson said. Nichols agreed, saying how refreshing it was to be back on the court and play another team. Playing defense against someone else is more fun, she said. While the Orediggers’ sluggish start Jan. 6 can be partially attributed to winter break monotony, Steffeck said the Cougars proved a challenging opponent. Simpson said she wouldn’t be surprised to see them in this year’s RMAC tournament. After the Jan. 12-13 road trip to CSU-Pueblo and New Mexico Highlands — which won’t be easy on its own — the rest of Mines’ regularseason schedule is packed. Simpson, Nichols and Steffeck highlighted the Jan. 19 home game against Regis; the Feb. 3 and March 1 games against No. 22 Adams State; and the Feb. 16 game at Colorado Mesa. The Orediggers beat the No. 23 Mavericks 89-85 in double-overtime earlier this season, and the three said the rematch should be fun. January and February are tough months for any basketball team, Steffeck said, as players can “get stuck in the motion at times.” For Mines especially, it can’t afford to underestimate any conference opponent, with Steffeck adding, “That’s kind of the beauty of the RMAC. Every night could be a dogfight.” SEE TOP DOGS, P23

Steffeck and Nichols, both fifthyear seniors, said they returned for their final year because they wanted to make 2023-24 the best season. They hope to win the RMAC regular-season title, the conference tournament, and bring home an NCAA Division II national championship. “I want to … just end (the season) how we should,” Nichols said. If the 2023-24 Orediggers can maintain their unique fighting spirit, as Steffeck described, they could be the top dogs by season’s end. “This team just feels different,” Steffeck said.

SUPPORT LOCAL JOURNALISM

DON’T LET YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPERS GO SILENT.

This year, even more than ever before, the news is in crisis. More than 17,000 news media jobs were cut just by June, at national and local outlets including at some of the biggest names like NPR, The Texas Tribune and Gannett. In fact, newsroom layoffs are up 20% from last year. Some of these outlets laid off more than 10% of their staff in the last few months — even as we head into a critical election year. These are devastating numbers. But all is not lost. Many local and independent newsrooms continue to launch across the country. With your contributions and subscriber memberships, small newsrooms like ours continue to grow, adding new journalists and expanding reporting and investigations. We’re committed to bringing the news to Coloradans. That’s because you deserve access to local, independent journalism that keeps you connected and informed — especially during challenging times. This is #newsCOneeds.
