Colorado gasoline prices among nation’s lowest Drivers in other states take more of a beating at the pump BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN

The third week of May was a brutal one for the U.S. economy, especially for those with money to invest. In Colorado, the economic news seemed a little more upbeat. The state’s unemployment rate fell to 3.6% in April, the lowest since before the pandemic. More Coloradans are back to work, with 15,400 returning to jobs in April. Average hourly earnings grew

10% in the past year to $34.34 while the work week shrunk 12 minutes from last year to 33.3 hours. This and other Colorado job data was released May 20, but more on that below. It’s rising gasoline prices that everyone is talking about. But even as everywhere in the state went above $4 per gallon, the increase had less impact on Colorado than anywhere else in America, according to an analysis of the 200 largest cities by LawnStarter, a lawn service with its own data and editorial team who put together reports on impacts to the lawn care industry. “Interestingly, five of the six Colorado cities we ranked also had the five lowest percentage increases over the past year leading up to May 17 — Fort Collins wasn’t far behind

at No. 9,” Jason Medina, LawnStarter’s managing editor, said in an email. “That tells us that Coloradans have either been staying home more, not driving as much, or both during this time period.” Coloradans also pay less taxes on gas than most Americans, he added. The state had the 10th lowest motorfuel tax per gallon, of about 22 cents. A new 2-cent gas tax to help pay for transportation projects in the state was just delayed by lawmakers by nine months and now starts in April. “That, of course, doesn’t include other taxes like local taxes and a new gas fee that’s being delayed, though it would add only 2 more cents per gallon. The delay isn’t providing much relief — at least not

Transitional Energy officials report successfully using geothermal energy to generate electricity at an oil and gas field site in Nevada on May 19. “It’s exciting to see the success of this pilot project, as it opens up a world of untapped possibility for geothermal energy development in the United States,” said CEO Salina Derichsweiler. According to the company, Transitional Energy is the first to raise private funding to provide 100% of the cost to produce geothermal energy on the Nevada oil site. The Nevada oil field pilot is part of a larger project using Transitional Energy technology with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy Geothermal Technologies’ Office Wells of Opportunity grants. According to company officials, Transitional Energy’s plans for its next pilot program are in Colorado. They will work with major oil and gas companies and on the utility side with United Power, which serves Weld and Adams counties. Transitional Energy is a majority women-owned geothermal energy and development company that converts oil and gas waste streams into renewable energy.

Brighton High’s Class of 2022 gets sendoff to the real world

Over go the tassels, a prelude to the tossing of the mortarboards as Brighton High School’s class of 2022 prepares for what awaits its members. The commencement PHOTO BY STEVE SMITH program was at 1stBank Center in Broomfield May 25. BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

BROOMFIELD — Some 400 Brighton High School students received their diplomas at commencement exercises May 25 at 1stBank Center in Broomfield. There was some advice as the graduates begin the next phase of their lives, too, including “be proud

of your scars” from class valedictorian Mariah Niday, and from class speaker and BHS English teacher Ted Halbert, who told the grads, “We educate ourselves to be good humans. You understand the social contract, that how we treat each other matters.” More than 80 members of the Class of 2022 achieved grade point averages of at least 3.8.

director at ElectraTherm. “We look forward to working with Transitional Energy to bring this technology to the oil and gas industry and further our shared goal of reducing carbon emissions and increasing availability of baseload, renewable energy.” Transitional Energy develops its geothermal energy in lower temperature zones because traditional geothermal development is barred in hotter

climates in the Western United States, according to officials. Using a lower capital avenue developed in lower temperature climates creates a hybrid energy source with operational and abandoned oil and gas wells. Its renewable energy opportunities are more cost-effective and plentiful than alternative conventional power generations. According to officials, the United States has 1 million well bores with geothermal facilities. It is Transitional Energy’s goal to provide an affordable and sustainable energy surplus between fossil fuels and renewable energy. “Just as the world is on a journey to a cleaner energy future, so are we,” Derichweiler said. “Transitional Energy’s initial goal with this pilot was to prove we could produce geothermal energy at an oil and gas site, and we’ve accomplished that. Next up is to optimize our operations for even greater results and scale them to provide an immediate solution that helps bridge the gap between fossil fuels and intermittent renewable energy.”

at the pump,” he said. “However, the state gas tax makes up a big chunk of total taxes and is relatively lower than what many Americans pay.” Gas prices and inflation The data tracks closely with the weekly gas price report from AAA. This week, Colorado had the fourth lowest average price for a gallon of regular gas. The states with lower prices were Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma, which had the lowest at $4.03. Colorado’s cost jumped a penny from last week, to $4.137 a gallon and was up from a year ago’s $3.089, according to AAA. Colorado is at the highest pergallon price in 22 years, which is how long AAA has tracked Colorado data. Nationwide, gas prices averaged $4.589 a gallon. On the other end, California averaged $6.061. But being the least-impacted state in an uncertain economy doesn’t change economist Kishore Kulkarni’s outlook: it’s dismal. We’ve been hugely impacted already. Gas is averaging $1 or more per gallon than it was a year ago. In fact, the rising gas prices may have finally gotten everyone to notice inflation, but those who earn less may start seeing recent wage gains canceled at the gas pump. Blame the Russian war on Ukraine, said Kulkarni, who teaches at Metropolitan State University of Denver. Both countries produce crude oil and all of that production is being impacted, not to mention sanctions and bans on Russian oil. “We use a lot of gasoline. We use almost one-fifth of the world’s gasoline stock,” Kulkarni said. “And that has really started the whole thing of the recent inflation, the expected inflation in the future, as well as the actual inflation in the U.S. economy. And both are increasing. And because we don’t see an end to (the war) for a while, at least, this is going to get worse.” The U.S. produces 20% of the world’s oil while also consuming 20%, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Other inflationary factors were already underway before the war, Kulkarni added. Supply chain

disruptions in the pandemic created shortages that caused prices to jump. Unprecedented government pandemic spending, which many Americans received directly in their bank accounts, led to the Fed increasing the money supply. It’s now at $21.8 trillion compared with $15.5 trillion in February 2020. “We have a perfect storm brewing because of all these different reasons in the U.S. economy, and in a way,” Kulkarni said, “it’s not surprising that we have gotten to 7.9 to 8% inflation, which is the highest in the last 42 years.” A big problem with financial crises is that they don’t hit all people the same way. Even in the pandemic, many higher-paid workers could work from home, avoid getting sick by staying away from crowds and cut down on gas consumption. “Financial crises are never equitable. They don’t care about the differences in the economy, the poor suffer a whole lot more than the rich,” Kulkarni said. “And the same thing happens with inflation. Inflation is inequitable because it hurts the poor more than it hurts the rich.” There’s not an easy solution, but he suggests looking at programs to reduce poverty so people are overall better off to start with — protect the income of the lower-wage workers. “The situation can turn around,” he said. “Let’s suppose we have a stoppage of war, some kind of peace where the pipeline of Russia starts flowing again. Suppose we have a reduction of gasoline prices because of that. Suppose OPEC countries actually do say ‘Let’s increase the supply of oil to the maximum capacity’ then oil prices will go down and inflation can be blocked. Interest rate increases are going to slow down our demand structure, which is a step which was needed for a while. … But in that scenario, if we go back to the peacetime quickly then we probably turn around. Otherwise, I don’t know when this is going to end.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

VOICES Where do we go from here?

n an instant, the world changed again. As he left a successful sales call in New York City, he saw an alert for “Breaking News” pop up on his cell phone. When he read the headline, it said that 19 children and two teachers had died in a shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. His heart became heavy, his legs buckled, and he felt sick to his stomach thinking of his own grandchildren. His customer and the products and services that he sold were no longer important at all. As she sat at her desk as a chief financial officer poring over spreadsheets and financial data, she also kept one extra monitor with a news feed so she could watch the stock market as she was doing her work. She saw the headline come up on her monitor with the same message as she received on her phone, “Breaking News,” 19 children and two teachers had died in a shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. With three children of her own, the finances of the company became less of a priority as she raced home to be with her family.

In a prayer group on Facebook, the 1,000-plus members poured out their prayers for the families and the community who were impacted and for the world. They poured out their broken hearts for what happened that day as Michael Norton they prayed together. They prayed for what is happening every day in our country when it comes to senseless and random acts of violence. For the past week, online prayer groups, small church groups, and Bible study groups have been trying to wrap their heads and hearts around such tragic events, while leaning into their faith and standing on the promises of God. Where do we go from here? What do we say when the words get caught in our throats and we cannot speak, or we just don’t know what to say? Sometimes there are no words.

ent, available, empathetic, compassionate, and open to sharing how we feel as we try to understand and make sense of any of it. Yes, we are allowed to feel hurt and angry, but let’s not allow that hurt and anger to lead us down the wrong path. Instead, let it fuel our desire to pursue real change. Where else can we go from here? For the past week we have seen politicians, entertainers, actors, professional athletes, and CEOs of large organizations share how they feel, also giving passionate pleas for the necessary change that needs to happen before we have yet another Sandy Hook, Parkland, Columbine, Robb Elementary (and so many other tragic events) take place. And where shouldn’t we go? We shouldn’t give in to the blame game, pointing fingers across the aisle. We should never politicize any tragedy such as this. The victims and their families deserve better than that. The best way we can honor all the victims and families who have gone through this kind of senseless violence is to come together to find the solution instead of trying to

determine who is to blame. At the end of the day violent video games, violent movies and television shows, access to guns, the far left, the far right, and social media will all be blamed. But this, my friends, is not the answer. Do I know what the answer is? No, I don’t. But I do know that human lives, at any age, young or old, are precious. And I know that I want to be a part of the solution in any way that I can. Knowing in some small way, we can all contribute, doing our part to live in the spirit of love. Is your heart broken? Is your heart heavy? Mine is too as I write this column. I would love to hear your story of where we go from here at mnorton@xinnix.com, and when we can help fill the world with love, forgiveness, and compassion, it really will be a better than good life.

How can a me-first terrorist be made into a hero?

confounding aspect of the climate change challenge has been disagreements about the most basic of facts, namely human complicity. We had the same fact-based problem with the last presidential election. Then there’s what happened in Granby, the Colorado mountain town that continues to be at the center of alternative realities. Granby lies between Winter Park, the ski area, and Grand Lake, the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. It has changed little since I lived there 40 years ago. It has tried to be a resort town, but the DNA is different. It’s a commercial and services center. The mayor when I lived there was Dick Thompson, who owned an excavating business and showed up at town board meetings in a blue work shirt wearing suspenders to hold up his jeans. The sky was blue the morning of June 4, 2004, the day of the bulldozer attack. The Fraser River, nearing the peak spring runoff, rushed to join the Colorado River. At the newspaper office, Patrick Brower was mapping out the next week’s issue of the Sky-Hi News. Brower, like many people in Granby, a town then of 1,500, wore several hats. Walking down Agate Avenue, the main street, you were likely to encounter town trustees and sewer board members in different roles as store manag-

ers and accountants. Brower was the newspaper’s publisher but also its editor and a reporter. He attended many meetings of the town board. A relatively minor issue of several years before had been a land-use dispute on the town’s indusAllen Best trial fringe, where a concrete batch plant was permitted on property adjacent to a muffler shop. That afternoon, Brower heard somebody had gone crazy in a bulldozer on the town’s edge. The Komatsu was like no bulldozer seen before, the driver encased in concrete save for two rifle barrels and clearly bent on destruction. It first attacked the batch plant, then it rumbled up the road to attack Mountain Parks Electric, followed by the town hall and library. People had been advised to stay indoors because the bulldozer operator — whoever it was —had shot at police and the batch-plant operator. Children had fled the library only a minute before the giant Komatsu crashed into the building. At the newspaper office, Brower was trying to figure who the terrorist was. He was standing in the front of

the office when the blade caved in the building’s two-story front. Bricks and concrete blocks fell like shattered glass. He ran out the back, the bulldozer roaring at his heels. He didn’t trip. Had he done so, he says, he would have died. The bulldozer also ripped into the home of the former mayor. His widow had been sleeping until shortly before. Then came an attempt to create an explosion of propane tanks. Finally, the bulldozer overheated and got stuck in the Gambles store basement. The terrorist shot himself with a handgun. He was the owner of the muffler shop who thought he deserved special treatment. All of his victims played into that grudge-based narrative. The strange thing was that almost immediately others made him into a martyr, a hero, the underdog getting back at a government elite. That’s laughable on the surface. I stress that the mayor when I lived there dug trenches. Nobody was wealthy. If anybody had a Ph.D., they certainly did not announce it. Admirers of this terrorist pointed out that he killed nobody. It was a matter of luck. Dozens could have easily died from gunfire, explosions, or — like the children in the library — crushed by bulldozer treads. Several years ago Brower wrote a book about this. It’s called “Killdozer.” He lays out the facts. Facts don’t matter

to many people. They want to believe in a little guy battling a big, bad government until he finally snapped. Facts do matter, but so do broader truths that we agree upon, as David Brooks observed in a 2021 column. “It is a moral framework from which to see the world,” he explained. Cooperation, not conflict, defines every successful community I have known. Violence achieved nothing for the terrorist in Granby, nor did it achieve anything on Jan. 6 in Washington D.C. Communities large and small are built on cooperation that dwarf narrow, short-term interests. Happily, American leaders have come together in bipartisan agreement in how to resist Russian aggression in the Ukraine. Climate change poses a broader, more difficult and dangerous challenge. From my perspective in Colorado, sometimes I can be optimistic. I see bold policies, great courage and a willingness to sacrifice for the greater good. Other days, I see narrow me-first grievances and entitlement hold sway. I’m still mystified how people can look at the facts and reconfigure this petty terrorist into a hero.

Eighth-inning run finishes Brighton’s baseball season Bulldogs fall 1-0 to Chaparral in class 5A regional playoffs BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

PARKER -- For the second straight season, Brighton High School’s baseball team made it to the championship game of the class 5A regional playoffs. And for the second straight year, BHS came up short in its bid to enter the state 5A baseball tournament. Brody Sprinkle’s eighth-inning single gave the Wolverines a 1-0 win over the Bulldogs on May 23 on Chaparral High School’s field. The loss ended Brighton’s season. The Bulldogs finished 18-7. “I don’t know how many we left on, but it had to be double digits,” said BHS coach Justin Stringer. “We had to be able to find a hole or a gap, hit by pitch or something? Man. We made tons of plays. Brok (pitcher Brok Eddy) had control of the game.” Eddy finished with an eighthitter and 10 strikeouts. “We couldn’t find a hit early in the game that would have put us on top,” Stringer said. Eddy wiggled his way out of a bases-loaded jam in the fifth inning. That was Chaparral’s most serious threat until the game-winning rally in the eighth inning. Brighton had 11 base runners, including nine who reached on walks. Bryce Peterson, who was the winning pitcher in the opener (an 8-5 win over Loveland) had both of Brighton’s hits. Andrew

Schmeh and Garrett Chadwick reached on walks in the second inning. Walks to Eddy, Drai Wagner and Schmeh loaded the bases in the sixth inning. But BHS couldn’t get that key hit to drive anyone home. “One or two (hits) looked like a million, the way Brok throws,” Stringer said. “If we can figure out how to scratch one across, the game is different. Brok is the best pitcher in the state, and someone opposing teams find

it difficult to square up. I don’t think I’ve seen a better pitcher all year. I’m glad he plays for us.” In the Loveland game, Peterson lasted into the seventh inning and struck out seven. Anthony Treto came on in relief to pick up the save. Eddy drove home five runs, including a basesclearing triple in the second inning. “At the beginning of the game, my fastball out (outside) was working,” Peterson said. “They

were trying to go with that. So I tried to come back in on their hands, throw curve balls away when I was ahead in the counts. It depends on what kind of swings they are taking. “This team, they were really focused on trying to hit the ball the other way,” he continued. “So when I saw that, I came back in on their hands.

Four years of service in the U.S. Army did little to tamp down former Prairie View High School quarterback Ben Meraz’s interest in playing college football. Meraz, who graduated from PVHS in 2016, chose Austin College, an NCAA Division III school in Sherman, Texas, for his next stop. He called it “the best of all possible worlds” for academics, athletics and being able to work for his father’s construction business. “It was close to home, they recruited me super hard and built a good rela-

tionship with me,” Meraz said. “And then academically, I felt like I could take advantage of a lot of good opportunities that wouldn’t be available elsewhere.” He will be able to play football, too., as he did at Mesa State University before entering the Army. The Kangaroos won one game in nine tries a season ago. Six to seven schools showed an interest. Meraz wants to study business finance, then pursue a master’s degree in construction management. The ongoing pandemic didn’t play a part in his recruiting process. But joining the NCAA’s transfer portal, which allows students to place their names in an online data base to indicate a desire to change schools, did. “I’d say things were different just because I obviously don’t have any recent film of me playing football,” he

said. “So, I’d send them videos of me doing workouts and drills to pair with my high-school stuff. “Things were different as well because I talked to way more schools this time than when I did in high school,” Meraz explained. “I definitely had to ask a lot more questions about stuff like about living in the town, going to school there, types of questions I didn’t think about in high school.” Meraz still has four years of eligibility. “I’m pretty excited and nervous. It’s been a long time since I last played,” Meraz said.“But after a couple practices, I feel like I’ll be like a normal player again. “I hope people can use situations like mine in that you can always chase a dream of yours,” he added. “Just because it doesn’t work out the first time doesn’t mean it’ll never work out.”

Fund awards $1M in scholarships to Adams County students BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

More than $1 million in scholarships were awarded to 58 Adams County High School students May 17 through the Adams County Scholarship Fund. “We are proud to support these worthy students by providing a path to help them further their education,” said Lynn Baca, chair of the Adams County Board of Commissioners. “These scholarships will alleviate some of the worries of paying for college, and we send our best wishes to all the student recipients.” Adams County commissioners established the scholarship fund in 2016 in partnership with the Colorado Department of Higher Education’s Colorado Opportunities Scholarship Initiative. The county’s voter-approved 3% tax on retail marijuana sales pays for the scholarships. In addition, the scholarship funds

are matched by Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative funding, increasing the scholarship pool. High school students who are first-generation and low-income high school seniors are among those who are eligible to apply for one of the scholarships. The Adams County Education Consortium manages the Adams County Scholarship Fund for the county and works directly with the school districts or district foundations. The Adams County School districts include Adams 12 Five Star Schools, Adams 14 Education Foundation, School District 27J Education Foundation, Mapleton District 1 Education Foundation, Westminster District 50 Education Foundation, Strasburg School District 31J, and Bennett School District 29J.

Denver dough

LIFE

2 young pastry chefs create out-of-this-world culinary experience BY RYAN ERNSTES SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Space dinosaurs. Project 626. Murder by the Campfire. This is not a list of the internet’s latest conspiracy theories,

but rather the creations of Black Box Bakery, a spacethemed wholesale and online retail bakery located in the RiNo district of Denver. And the baked goods look just as outlandish as they sound. Scroll through the bakery’s Instagram feed, and you will find rainbow pastries, croissants that are apparently stranded on Mars, and alien-decorated cookies reading “You’re Out of this World” — all of which are as drool worthy as

they are bizarre. And the Earthly masterminds behind these edible creations? Twenty-seven-year-old Arielle Israel and 24-year-old Megan Read. Israel stands at 5’3” but carries herself with a certain defiant confidence and clarity of vision. Her reputation for croissants has earned her the nickname “The Laminator.” She sometimes spends up to 12 hours a day on the laborious

work of folding butter sheets into dough, folding it, running it through the sheeter to flatten it and repeating. Working with dough lets Israel be aggressive, whereas Read handles the more precise aspects of production. Read’s perfection of cakes and pastries gives her the moniker “Cake Queen.” Her energetic, can-do attitude matches the bright auburn of SEE DOUGH, P13

her hair. Together, Israel and Read’s days go something like this: 2:30 p.m. to 12 a.m., pastry and croissant production; 12 - 1 a.m., packing; 1 to 3 a.m., deliveries; 3 to 11 a.m., sleep; and 11 a.m., wake up and start thinking about creating all over again. Business takes off Israel and Read’s creations come to life in the windowless basement of the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Denver, itself a story with intriguing origins. Just a few months after starting Black Box, Israel and Read received an email on behalf of the CEO of a large hotel conglomerate, asking them to meet in a specified location to “discuss certain opportunities.” The exchange had all the veiled secrecy of an interaction with the mafia, Read said. But low and behold, the mystery executive was a huge fan of their croissants and wanted to help launch the business to even higher places. The exchange eventually helped Israel and Read land their current workspace in the unused banquet kitchen of the hotel. Israel and Read’s kitchen now gives them enough space to work alongside four other employees, including Israel’s husband and partner in Black Box, Ty Webb. The team goes to work aerating butter, cutting dough into circles and bathing their pastries in egg washes, which gives the final product that delectable golden-brown hue. Sometimes the crew listens to podcasts to stay entertained. Some of their favorites include “Serial,” “Stuff You Should Know” and “Behind the Bastards.” On occasion, Israel might share her other hobby with Read — watching surgeries online. As it turns out, you can witness surgeons remove a blockage of the heart on Instagram and learn to spot the difference between a ruptured spleen and an intact one. Macabre? Maybe a little. But Israel thinks the interest stems from a desire to understand how things work. In baking, for instance, Israel must understand how each ingredient will change her final product. It was in culinary school that she first realized “the egg has this function; the sugar does this,” and so forth. Read does not share the same affinity for watching medical operations, but the two clearly

have a long history of knowing each other’s quirks. Dynamic duo The pair go back to 2015, when they began their associate’s degrees at the Culinary Institute of America in New York. Israel was 20, having just completed her mandatory two years in the Israeli army, and Read was only 18. The two partnered up for a class and it immediately became clear they made a great team. “She does all the things that I’m not good at or don’t like, and I’m the same for her,” Read said. For the next few years, Israel and Read worked together in classes and at restaurants on the weekends. Their connection became almost telepathic, each knowing what the other would work on without having to communicate it. After graduating from culinary school, Israel took a job as a pastry chef in Denver. Meanwhile, Read had just completed her manager’s training at a restaurant in New York. But Israel saw the opportunities on the horizon and knew, “I need my partner.” She sent a formal job offer over to Read, and within a month, the dynamic duo was reunited. Soon after, Israel and Read decided it was time to branch out on their own. A colleague in the industry introduced them to the concept of wholesale production: making baked goods to be bought by other cafes and restaurants. It was just what Israel and Read needed — a way to get their foot in the door without the high startup costs of running their own storefront. Thus, Black Box Bakery was born. Their specialty? Laminated pastries: anything made through rolling and folding layers of dough and butter. If it sounds decadent and delicious, that’s because it is.

Exploring the creative possibilities But Israel and Read had no desire to create “just another bakery.” Instead, they wanted to explore the unknown and embark on a journey of discovering what’s possible in the culinary sphere. “It allows us to say, ‘you know, we’ve never seen a blue croissant before. We’re gonna do that,’” Israel said. And indeed, the bakery abounds with creativity and variety. Croissant varieties include strawberry, almond, Oreo, pistachio and cruffin — a cross between a cinnamon roll and a croissant. As for the bakery’s out-ofthis-world theme, Israel loves all things alien and conspiracy theory. She sees a metaphorical connection between her croissants and space, both whimsical, mysterious entities in her mind. “People at home don’t know how croissants are made,” Israel said. And that same principle could apply to much of space, too. Once, after a long night of deliveries for the bakery, Read even had a firsthand experience with a UFO. In the dark, early hours of the morning, Read was driving home and spotted something in the sky that looked like a planet but was crazy bright. She immediately called Israel to describe what she was seeing. “All of a sudden it zoomed across the sky,” said Read emphatically, using her hands to mimic the quick trajectory of the unidentified object. She told Israel, “Bro, I think I just saw a UFO.” Paranormal or not, Israel and Read seem to draw inspiration from particular formative memories. Like the first time Read tried a croissant in France. She entered a random bakery, stopped to pick up a croissant, and was walking to the subway when

she took her first bite. It literally stopped her in her tracks. The sweet, grassy taste of the butter was like nothing she had ever tried before. Read wants this to be the visceral experience all people have when they taste Black Box’s goods. Much of Israel’s inspiration is rooted in personal experiences too. Growing up, she would spend summers with her grandparents in France. Each day, Israel would stand in line for fresh baguettes and croissants — even if they still had leftover baked goods at home from the day before. And at her childhood home in Israel, Friday nights were dedicated to food too. Israel would make challah bread, always met with constructive criticism driving her to be better. “Too dense, could be better,” her family members would coach her. Those memories stick with her. And now, Israel and Read long to produce baked goods that transport people to cherished memories of their own. Storefront on the horizon Back in the kitchen, the clock has struck 2:30 p.m., which means production has begun. Occasionally, Israel and Read chatter with the team as they work. Other times they seem overcome by a quiet, determined focus, despite performing the same repetitive tasks they do day in day out. It is clear the two take great pride in their work. “They have a standard and will have that standard met no matter what. And if it isn’t met it doesn’t go on the plate,” said Blake Ritenour, close friend and former employee. That standard is producing results. Due to their success, Israel and Read look forward to opening their first storefront bakery in late summer or fall of this year. It’s a space in the Edgewater Public Market, a hip food hall in west-central Denver. “It’s a dream,” Israel said. “Everyone wants to see their products and get that feedback” from their customers. Despite their impressive accomplishments at a young age, Israel and Read are not pumping the brakes anytime soon. They are already dreaming about owning a restaurant, a hospitality group, a desert bar and a diner. They excitedly blurt out ideas, feeding off one another’s infectious enthusiasm. On reflection, “I can see this getting, not out of hand, but... out of hand,” Read said, laughing.

WARNING—IMPORTANT INFORMATION California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property.
