The Greenwood Village Police Department was notified on May 26 of a possible threat to Cherry Creek High School, stemming from an individual through a social media message, according to the City of Greenwood Village on Twitter. A person who lives outside of Colorado received a social media message from an “unknown subject,” threatening to “shoot up the school,” according to a news release from the Greenwood Village Police Department. The person who received the message didn’t know the person who sent it, according to Greenwood Village police Cmdr. Joe Gutgsell. Police determined that the school that was referenced is Cherry Creek High, the release said. As a precaution, a “secure perimeter” was initiated for Cherry Creek High, Campus Middle and Belleview Elementary schools, the city said on Twitter. “Secure perimeter” status means all students and staff outside the buildings are brought inside, all exterior doors are closed and locked, and normal activity continues inside the buildings, according to the news release.

Trial nears for man accused of 1981 murder of Cherry Hills resident David Anderson faces second trial BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Four decades after a 34-yearold woman was murdered in her Cherry Hills Village home, a suspect will face a second trial for the crime. David Anderson, a 63-year-old Nebraska man arrested in February 2021, will stand trial June 26 in Arapahoe County court after a jury failed to reach a verdict during his first trial in early March. Anderson is accused of raping and murdering Sylvia Quayle in 1981 sometime overnight between Aug. 3 and Aug. 4, according to the Cherry Hills Village Police Department. According to a district court affidavit, Quayle’s body was found by her father, William Quayle, in her home at 3800 S. Ogden St in Cherry Hills Village. Police responded to his call of a “woman down” just before 8 a.m. Aug. 4, 1981, and soon found her dead at the scene. Her father told officers he found Quayle’s body “lying on the living room floor, nude with her arms above her head” and a white towel covering her face, according to the affidavit. Police noted that Quayle’s hands were covered in blood and

she had red marks on her neck, according to the affidavit. An investigation revealed she had been shot with a .22 caliber bullet on top of her head, stabbed three times in her upper back and evidence showed strangulation, the affidavit said. The affidavit also notes that Quayle’s telephone line appeared to have been ripped out from where it was mounted to the exterior of the house. The house’s exterior bathroom wall also had a screen removed and a small, circular hole was discovered in the lower corner in the window screen of Quayle’s bedroom. The case had been without a suspect for more than 25 years after DNA evidence in 1993 disproved another man’s false confession to the crime. Ottis Toole, an infamous serial killer who had falsely confessed to hundreds of murders across the U.S., was charged with Quayle’s assault and murder after he confessed to the crime two years after it occurred, but never faced trial for it. Toole faced two death sentences in the 1980s for other unrelated murders, though he won appeals that changed his sentence to life imprisonment. Toole received four more life sentences for several more murders and died in a state prison in Florida in 1996. SEE ACCUSED, P7

In 2000, a DNA sample of the suspect was submitted to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation but was left unidentified for two more decades. In 2020, Cherry Hills Village police began working with Mitch Morrisey, whose company United Data Connect provided the department with genetic genealogy testing, a relatively new technology. The company began developing leads for the unidentified DNA sample, which encompassed a pool of more than 3,300 people according to Morrisey. Through extensive research and investigation, Morrisey said his team was able to hone in on one suspect. On Jan. 17, 2021, a company investigator traveled to Cozad, Nebraska to secretly collect DNA from Anderson. What he recovered were two separate trash bags found in the dumpster for the apartment complex where Anderson lived. About 15 items were tested, with DNA from a Vanilla Coke can matching the sample from the crime scene. A warrant for Anderson’s arrest was soon issued and he was arrested in Nebraska on Feb. 10, 2021. Michelle Tovrea, who served as Cherry Hills Village’s police chief during the investigation and arrest of Anderson, paid respects to Quayle during a Feb. 25, 2021 press conference announcing Ander-
son’s arrest. “Sylvia’s sister and family had the quote ‘beauty seen is never lost’ etched onto her grave marker, a very fitting reminder of the beautiful person she was,” said Tovrea, who retired March 4. Quayle is remembered by those she knew as being “ambitious, vibrant, friendly,” Tovrea said, adding that she was someone who “would have given her last dollar” to friends who needed it. A graduate of Englewood High School, Quayle had a colorful palette of jobs and hobbies. She worked as a secretary at an architect firm and enjoyed researching the work of her architect uncle, Wesley Quayle, according to Tovrea. She also opened a small bakery known as the Buttery that specialized in wedding cakes. And she had talent as an artist, creating various pottery pieces of flower vases and bowls, many of which reside today in the home of her sister. Tovrea said Quayle was known to have had a close and loving relationship with her sister, mother and father, who are both deceased. Anderson faces two counts of first-degree murder and will be prosecuted under laws in place when the crime occurred in 1981, according to District Attorney John Kellner, of the 18th Judicial District. It means that, if convicted, Anderson would still have the chance for parole 20 years into his sentence, something current laws do not allow.

“We’re continuing to try to identify who the person was who made the social media threat,” Officer Rodney Valenzuela, a spokesperson for Greenwood Village police, said at about 3:30 p.m. The message was reported to law enforcement “back East,” which then forwarded the case to Greenwood Village police, Gutgsell said. He said he couldn’t specify which state the case originated from. Campus Middle and Belleview Elementary both sit on the same campus property as Cherry Creek High, according to the news release. Greenwood Village Police Department school resource officers were on scene and were working with Cherry Creek School District security staff to develop a “structured release plan” for the school population, the news release said. At about 1:15 p.m., police were working with school district security to carry out the dismissal for Cherry Creek High students, Valenzuela said. May 26 was a half day for the high school due to finals week, he added. The other two schools were operating on a regular schedule, he said. Campus Middle and Belleview

Douglas County Health Department director talks about the future Michael Hill talks costs, employees, beliefs BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Douglas County’s first-ever public health director is focusing on the future as he builds an agency he hopes will reduce costs for local taxpayers. In an exclusive interview with Colorado Community Media, director Michael Hill talked through his background, his plans for the department and his philosophy on public health. “I’m not really going to be about trying to understand or fix people’s opinions of the past or what happened,” he said. “I just want to make sure we’re doing a good job as we roll out services.” Hill, who previously worked as the health agency director for San Luis Obispo County Public Health Department in California, started in Douglas County on Feb. 28. Hill’s annual salary was approved by the commissioners at $205,000. Dr. John Douglas, an infectious disease physician who leads the Tri-County Health Department currently makes $317,000. A recent physician leader of the Jeffco Health De-
partment made $190,000 annually. The new county director has 30 years of experience working in public health, has a bachelor’s degree in biology and has master’s degrees in public health and in public administration. Hill’s previous health department served 285,000 people with about 900 employees. Now, he’s overseeing a significantly smaller team, serving 380,000 residents in Douglas County. As of mid-May, the newly formed Douglas County Health Department employed five people and was set to add four more in the near future. In an April 19 work session with commissioners, Hill pitched a possible full organizational chart consisting of about 35 full-time employees and two contractors. Douglas County pulled out of the Tri-County Health Department last fall after the county commissioners disagreed with the COVID-19 restrictions put in place by the agency. The new health department is set to begin providing several services over the next few months, including vital records, emergency preparedness, disease surveillance, environmental health and community health. The board of health approved a list of services the agency will provide during a May 12 meet-
ing. Here’s how Hill answered questions on various topics: Philosophy on public health: “Over my career I’ve tried to interfere in people’s lives as seldom as possible but the reason it’s called public health instead of personal health is it’s about protecting the community. So if you have something bad and you’re running around spreading it to everyone, then maybe I need to interfere with your liberties a little bit to protect everybody else. That’s not our go-to move to try to interfere with people’s lives, it’s to try to educate people and help them understand how they can keep themselves and their neighbors healthy.” Why he works in public health: “I went to Florida, started looking for jobs and landed in one in the health department and it just seems to have been a fit … It just happened to me and I seem to be okay at it and mostly enjoy it, so I’ve kept at it.” “I know I’ve made a difference in people’s lives. I know there are hundreds of people who are alive because of what I’ve done. There are thousands of people who are better off because of what I’ve done … I’m not doing this waiting for the thank you
notes to come rolling in but I know I’ve helped these people. Whether they know or not is not important to me.” Why he applied: Hill said the challenge of figuring out the organization and solving various personnel and administrative problems interested him. “I was sitting happily in my office in California when some recruiter reached out to me and said here’s this wonderful opportunity … The more I looked at it, the more I said `well that looks like a lot of fun.’” New department’s costs: “I’ve committed to the board of health and the commissioners that I won’t exceed the amount they were spending for Tri-County services over the years. So I’ve got to make sure I’m bringing in enough grants, allocations from the state, fees, whatever extra money I can to provide all these services. It’s not something I take lightly. The commissioners have stated before I got here that they weren’t going to spend any more money and my job is to make that true.” “I’m pretty confident we can build an environmental SEE FUTURE, P10

health division that is rightsized so it doesn’t cost more to do these things and it shouldn’t.” Hill added that the health department will adopt the same fee structure as Tri-County for this year but may consider suggesting fee changes next year. Transitioning away from Tri-County: “As Tri-County is going to dissolve at the end of the year, I don’t believe 100% of their employees are going to stay until Dec. 31. So I’m trying to be ready to make sure there’s not a gap in services so that we can jump in sooner.” When the new health department was formed, one of the first decisions by the board was to contract with Tri-County to provide all public health services through the end of 2022. Gaps in service: “I don’t have really any qualms as far as the inspections part. Again the whole clinical area is so up in the air right now. I don’t think there will be any gaps because I’ll be trying to bring up services by fall and Tri-County will hope-
June 2, 2022
fully still be able to provide services until December so we should be able to back each other up.”
Hill said that the clinical services include vaccines, sexualy transmitted disease protection and family planning.
The department’s employees: “So we’re trying to build an organizational culture by hiring people who again agree with this philosophy of not being out there — we’re not the police — our inspectors aren’t going to be out there with badges and guns trying to catch people our inspectors will be out there trying to find out what you’re doing and if you’re off track trying to help you understand how to get back on track.” “We’ve already hired a few people from Tri-County and I’m sure we’ll hire more. We’re very open to their applications.”
Contracting services compared to hiring more staff: “On some level there’s an interest in not growing government by adding government employees but to grow the private sector. The reason I was looking at approaching outsourcing of these functions was the whole realm of employing nurses has gotten out of control recently so it’s hard to get nurses and it’s hard to keep nurses. I thought it would be easier to have other organizations go through that pain and we can just have enough pain of keeping the other health department services covered.”
What we don’t yet know about the health department: “The big unknown is still in the clinical and nutrition and health education programs as far as whether we find people we can contract those services to and how many services the commissioners and board of health will let us bring in house to do … we didn’t draw a lot of interest when we were reaching out for contractors so we may have some other referral mechanisms set up.”
Hiring a medical officer: Under Colorado law, public health departments that don’t have a physician as their public health director are required to employ one as a medical officer to advise the public health director on medical decisions. The Douglas County Health Department discussed whether or not to hire a full-time medical director but Hill ultimately suggested contracting with one. “There’s a very small need for a medical officer in this health department where we’re going
to do almost no medical care so a full-time medical officer would be very bored in this organization. There’s not a lot of physician knowledge needed to run restaurant inspections or issue birth certificates … where there’s a benefit added by having a physician input certainly I’m happy to have them there but at one point somebody thought they should hire a $200,000 per year physician to sit beside me and watch me do my job and well, I’m a cheap guy I don’t think that’s cost effective or necessary.” That officer will also oversee clinical contracts, he said. The state of the pandemic: “Right now if you look statewide there’s an upward trend to the cases and case positivity and that upward trend is in our county as well. So we need to be prepared to ramp things back up in a hurry if we need to … A lot of the state testing sites went away so if something big happens again and there’s a big need for testing, we need to be able to figure out how to help make that happen.” “I’m not sure we can call ourselves past the pandemic yet.” Have more questions for the health department or Hill?

A willingness to change
O
ver the last few months I had the pleasure of working with some graduating seniors at Castle View High School. In working with interns, I have never believed in the concept that they will learn by watching me work. FROM THE Instead, I pushed forth an idea I had EDITOR but never brought to fruition as a journalist. That idea being how much pressure is put on high school and college students today. The answer is a lot. I worked with these young ladies to produce the “Need to Succeed” series. They wrote personal essays about their own battles and I am going to use this space this week for me. They are classified as Generation Z. I Thelma Grimes am Generation X with Millennials sitting between us. That group of Millennials between us is a huge change. When I was in high school, my parents were adamant that I would get a diploma. They did not necessarily push the need to go to college. In fact, they were supportive but not overly excited. My high school days were stressful in that I wanted to get good grades, be active in my school and work for the local newspaper to write sports. I can’t say I was overwhelmed. I had a blast in high school. To this day, I still treasure my time at my smalltown high school. I formed lifelong friendships with teachers, my friends and the community. Fast forward to the present, with me being a parent of a teenager and two young boys while doing this project on the stress placed on kids to succeed today. What I learned is that I do need to change. Interviewing therapists and experts in child behavior, I realized I rarely show my children that I make mistakes and have failed in life. In put strict guidelines on behavior and grades. I even want them to be successful at everything they try. In the end, what I learned in doing this project with these interns is that my children need to be happy and well adjusted. They need to gravitate towards their passions and if it is not necessarily what I had in mind for them — that is OK. I do not want to have my children crying in dark corners, hosting a slew of anxiety that they cannot get rid of. Do I want them to go to college? Well, society says I have to be that parent. After all, how can my children be successful adults if they do not go to college? Well, the bottom line is if they join the military — I will support it. If they choose to try out a trade school — I will support it. If they go to community college — I will clap and say “so did I.” I have to thank Dr. Ron-Li Liaw of Children’s Hospital Colorado for the frank way in which she explained how parents and society are hurting our children’s mental health. Her exact quote that got my attention was, “Childhood is a gift, and we are spoiling it with expectations.” Over the last few months, because of her and the students I worked with, I have started changing some of my parenting styles. While I still have standards, I truly work now to make sure my children enjoy their childhood.
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 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. Sometimes the only thing we can do is to be present, 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

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 Michael Norton 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.

Opinion: I’ve lived in a country with gun control. It works.
T
en days after the racist mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, Americans are reeling from yet another preventable tragedy. The lives of 19 children and two teachers at a Texas elementary school did not have to end in such hateful bloodshed. As devastated as this country is, we cannot allow our grief to stall our action. There is an answer to ending this cycle of brutality. I’ve lived in a country with gun control. I know it works. The United Kingdom, which encompasses England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, has some of the strictest gun laws of any developed country. During my time living there, the thought of being in a mass shooting event never crossed my mind. Because it didn’t happen. From 2012 to 2016, when I lived in a suburb outside London, there were zero mass shootings in the U.K. Data from the Gun Violence Archive, which began in 2013, shows there were 990 mass shootings in the U.S. between 2013 and 2016. GVA defines a mass shooting as an incident in which four or more people are shot and/or killed in a single event at the same general time and location, not including the shooter. Those numbers don’t include the infamous Aurora theater shooting and the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting in 2012, events I heard about while living near London. As I saw the news of those tragedies, I felt so incredibly grateful that I was living in a country where gun restrictions were keeping me safe. As a teenager at the time, I didn’t worry about being killed while
sitting inside my classroom or when going to a movie theater with friends. I wasn’t planning my escape every time I entered a public space, fervently scanning for the closest door or window. Robert Tann But now, living in the U.S, I always am. It’s a fear that is palpable across our country, felt every time a parent drops their child off for school or when a person just needs to run to the grocery store before dinner. In the U.K., it took just one mass shooting to prompt a major gun control law. After a shooter killed 16 people in a rural town 60 miles outside London in 1987, the government outlawed semi-automatic weapons the following year. Other U.K. laws have created extensive universal background checks, require private gun licenses to be renewed every five years and allow for that license to be revoked should a gun owner be deemed a public safety threat. In the U.S., we have none of that, at least not federally. I’m not naive to think these laws will eradicate gun violence and mass shootings entirely. The U.K. has seen four mass shootings since the government’s 1988 act banning assault weapons, with the most recent happening in Plymouth, England, in 2021. A collective 51 people died from those attacks. But compare that to the thousands of shootings and deaths the U.S. has seen in that same span of time,
GUEST COLUMN
the answer to the problem becomes clear: it’s the guns. As of 2017, the rate of firearm ownership per 100 people was 4.9 in the U.K. For the U.S., it was 120.5, and there is a correlation between gun ownership and gun violence. The U.S. is nearly off the chart when its gun violence rate is compared to other developed countries with much lower gun ownership rates. Data for 2022 shows there are 12 gun-related deaths per 100,000 people in the U.S. Many other developed nations, such as Canada, France, Germany and South Korea, have rates between 0 and 3 per 100,000. There are simply too many guns in this country, many of which are semi-automatic assault weapons that are commercially illegal in other western countries. We’ve heard other arguments for the culprit of the U.S.’s gun violence epidemic with some laying the blame on mental health or a gunloving culture that simply can not be changed. It’s true that we’re a country in mental distress. It’s true we have a long history, dating back to the
nation’s inception, of gun violence. These are certainly root causes of much of our collective suffering and will take years, generations even, to address and heal from. But to focus so heavily on these socio-cultural factors is to distract from the immediate solutions in front of us. We’ve seen the results of countries willing to implement bold gun restrictions from the U.K. to Canada to Australia to New Zealand. In countries like these shootings are rarer and overall suffering from gun violence is lower. What do we have to show in the U.S. for decades of inaction? A year where we’ve had more mass shootings than days on the calendar. Enough. We know what we need to do as a country, we have the solutions in front of us. It rests solely on the shoulders of our elected officials to act.

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, P15

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.

Colorado Water Garden Society to hold sale Hudson Gardens event will be open to public for four hours June 5 BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Despite living in a high desert location, a number of south metro area gardeners maintain a pond in their yard, with a collection of water lilies, cannas and more — plus perhaps a few brilliantly-hued fish. So, when the Colorado Water Garden Society holds a sale, those gardeners appear to find a new flowering plant, or one with specially-shaped or colored leaves. The CWGS will do exactly that on Sunday, June 5 at Hudson Gardens (in the area near the business office), open to the public from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (While there, visit the water lily ponds at Hudson Gardens.) Parking at 6115 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton, is free and one can walk into the gardens from the lot and head north to the sale area. Admission is free and the gardens are open until late afternoon. There will be an assortment of aquatic plants, including tropical water lilies, hardy water lilies, lotus, cannas, taro, water iris and many other marginals according to CWGS publicist Jim Arneill, a retired local teacher, who is among the well-informed staff and will be available to talk about various plants and how to care for them. There will also be fertilizer tablets for sale, he says. The Colorado Water Garden Society welcomes new members. It started with a class offered at Denver Botanic Gardens in 1983, after a few organizational issues were resolved. The first plant sale was held in 1985 and programs offered by members began at area garden centers. In 1987, the CWGS began an endowment fund at the Denver Botanic Gardens to be used for the plant collection and other expenses and the CWGS and the International Water Lily Society held the International Water Lily Society Symposium. In 1986, the CWGS

was invited to exhibit at the annual Colorado Garden and Home Show. A May 1990 issue of Horticulture magazine recognized the society and water gardening in the Rocky Mountain region. Society members volunteer to work at Denver Botanic Gardens’ aquatics as well as with the lily ponds at Hudson Gardens in Littleton, and have contributed time to restoration of Denver City Park’s Water Lily Ponds. Both beautiful parks are open to the public at no charge and offer a fine place for family outings, with details to appeal to all ages. Perfect for a family weekend picnic or an outing with visiting Aunt Minnie from Cincinnati.

An LGBTQ+ history lesson I started collecting it went from around 94 to more than 500, most of which can be accessed online,” Marcus aid. “For the exhibit we ended up with about 150 items, but it was very tough to decide what goes in and what doesn’t, since we’re trying to tell 50 years of history.” The exhibit begins in the 1950s and goes up to present times and captures important moments like the high-profile revolt against Denver City Council in 1973, the AIDS crisis during the 1980s and Amendment 2 in the 1990s. Some of the items visitors can see include: stained glass that hung at the Woman to Woman Feminist Bookcenter on Colfax Avenue, a drag outfit worn by Juiccy Misdemeanor at Black Pride Colorado and posters from Pride marches, gay magazines, court documents, personal photographs and more. “Around the entire exhibit is a timeline of events that happened nationally and affected the community here locally, as well as honoring those who are no longer with us,” Marcus said. This exhibit is just the first step in telling the story of the LGBTQ+ community, and Marcus hopes there will be others if Rainbows & Revolutions is successful. And there will be a traveling version that will be taking the story around the state. “I hope people come away knowing more about the LGBTQ+ community, especially since there’s been so much misinformation lately,”

here’s no way for a single exhibit to fully detail the history of LGBTQ+ Coloradoans, but it’s still important to take steps to share the stories of people whose experiences have largely been ignored or minimized over the years. Rainbows & Revolutions, the new History Colorado exhibition, aims to get that process started by sharing artifacts that bring to vivid life the major events on the road to equality and highlights the challenges still to be faced. “As far as we can tell, this is the first LGBTQ+ history exhibit being put on by a state agency at a state agency location,” said Aaron Marcus, Gill Foundation Associate Curator of LGBTQ+ History at History Colorado. “It’s a historic moment.” Rainbows & Revolutions opens at the History Colorado Center, 1200 N. Broadway in Denver, on Saturday, June 4. The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Gill Foundation is supporting the exhibition and hired Marcus as the first curator of LGBTQ+ history at History Colorado in 2020. After being hired, Marcus began collecting LGBTQ+ artifacts from all over the state, which will now be part of the museum’s permanent collection and known as the Gill Foundation LGBTQ Archives, according to provided information. “When I started, the LGBTQ+ collection was very small, but better than I thought it would be.

Douglas County will not use COVID funds on San Luis Valley water project Laydon puts brakes on proposal BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Douglas County commissioners have decided not to use American Rescue Plan Act dollars on a controversial water supply project but may consider it again in the future. Commissioner Abe Laydon, the decisive vote on the issue, announced his vote during a May 24 work session. “Right now there are simply too significant and enormous of hurdles for us to move forward on this project,” he said. “That’s not to say that we can’t explore this in the future, I think we certainly can, but RWR will have to do significant additional homework on all of these fronts to accomplish that.” Laydon said his decision was because the county’s outside legal counsel concluded that the project was not eligible for ARPA funds and recommended the county not participate. The project, proposed by a private company called Renewable Water Resources, would have attempted to pull 22,000 acre-feet of water per year from the San Luis Valley, permanently drying up wells in the area, and transporting it to Douglas County. Residents and water districts from the valley along with politicians and leaders throughout the state have come out strongly against the project, saying there is no extra water to remove from the valley and that it would irreparably damage the community. Commissioner George Teal, who has long been in support of the project, urged the commissioners to still consider it despite the legal counsel recommendation. “Douglas County needs water,” he said. “We should be moving forward on everything, on every possibility.” Teal received campaign contri-

butions for his commissioner seat from Sean Tonner, one of the leaders of RWR. Laydon said he is not closing the door on the project but that some of the major hurdles identified would need to be mitigated before they can move forward. “I’m OK with continuing conversations with RWR on innovative ways to address this,” he said. One issue outlined in the memo, prepared by outside counsel and water attorney Steve Leonhardt, is that RWR has not formed an augmentation plan — as would be required by law — showing how they will avoid injury to other water rights through their project. “RWR’s augmentation plan is still in the early, conceptual stages; RWR has not yet developed an augmentation plan in sufficient detail to demonstrate that its plan will meet the requirements of the rules and avoid injury to other water rights,” according to the memo. The legal analysis found “several enormous hurdles” in the proposal, including that there is “no unappropriated water” available for RWR’s proposal, inconsistency with the state’s water plan and projected struggles with needed permitting. “The permanent retirement of thousands of acres of irrigated lands makes it very difficult to create a ‘win-win’ with the San Luis

Valley,” according to the memo. The memo went on to say that the valley is “genuinely in crisis” due to its persistent drought conditions. “The socioeconomic and environmental implications of this dryup are difficult to predict and difficult to resolve,” according to Leonhardt’s memo. “Some of the rhetoric from local opponents has been overblown or has misconstrued RWR’s proposal. However, many of the fears are real, can’t be dismissed and won’t be easily resolved.” Commissioner Lora Thomas has been against the proposal since it was brought before the county and said she is not in support of continuing any conversations with RWR or paying for outside legal counsel to continue assessing it. Thomas added that the county has heard from South Metro Water Supply Authority that no water providers in the county have voiced interest in participating in the RWR proposal since they have dedicated funds to other projects. “We aren’t water providers,” Thomas said. “I think that the commissioners need to listen to our water providers on what they need from us for before we continue spending county dollars for things that are not our expertise.” RWR initially asked the county for $20 million to fund the project
SHUTTERSTOCK
but later amended their request after ARPA rules were announced, giving a time limit on projects funded by the money. They suggested the county instead invest $10 million from their general fund and then use a portion of ARPA funds to backfill the budget. Laydon said the memo analyzed that option and disagreed with RWR’s legal counsel that such an action would be allowed under the federal rules. The two legal memos prepared for the commissioners and used by Laydon to make his decision are available to the public upon request now that the decision has been announced. In an emailed statement, Protect Our Waters, a coalition of water districts, local governments and environmental groups, called the decision good news. “We will remain vigilant to continue to monitor Douglas County’s ongoing discussions with RWR to ensure that we continue to fight this at every turn,” according to the release. A spokesperson for RWR also emailed a statement following the decision: “Our team is eager to address the county’s remaining questions as raised in the legal analysis. We are confident in our ability to mitigate any areas of concern,” according to the statement.

Wildfire smoke and poor air quality are coming
Colorado Department of Public Safety Ozone Alert Day.
Here’s how scientists protect their homes BY SAM BRASCH COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO
Over the last few summers, Colorado residents have grown accustomed to hearing the same set of recommendations when wildfire smoke blankets their community: Avoid outdoor exercise. Head inside. Shut the windows. But experts say those immediate actions only go so far. Alex Huffman, an associate professor studying air contaminants at the University of Denver, notes smoke can invade a home through cracks and ventilation systems, so preventative measures are necessary to guard indoor air quality and protect people’s health. “You can’t completely stop it, but there are things you can do to help the amount you breathe in,” Huffman said. It’s now clear that in the West, and even in many further afield parts of the country, wildfire smoke will be a chronic side-effect of climate change and decades of poor forest management. As wildfires grow larger and more frequent, a CPR News analysis found Colorado residents now experience between two to four additional smoky weeks every year compared to a decade ago. The trend worries public health experts because smoke contains tiny particles capable of burrowing themselves deep into the human body. Breathing that material
can trigger shortness of breath, asthma attacks and heart attacks. Long-term risks include weakened immune systems and premature births. There are proven ways to limit exposure even as particulates sneak indoors. Here’s what Colorado scientists have done in their own homes — and what they’d recommend for yours. Monitor indoor and outdoor air quality At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Huffman brought home a professional air monitor to assist with his work on germ-carrying droplets. When wildfire season kicked up, it gave him a surprising view into the effect of outdoor smoke plumes. Even deep in his basement, the instrument showed unsafe levels of particles in the air. The EPA moves to declare the Front Range a ‘severe’ air quality violator. Here’s why that matters. Huffman now recommends households explore far cheaper methods to monitor outdoor and indoor air quality. To help manage his asthma, he keeps a careful eye on the EPA’s fire and smoke map, which tracks nationwide smoke plumes and air quality readings. To monitor indoor air quality, he purchased an egg-shaped monitor from PurpleAir, which now sits on a table inside the front door of his home in Centennial. It glows green, yellow or red depending on the severity of suspended particulates. Basic senses are an even cheaper alternative. Colorado air forecasters recommend assuming air quality
is unsafe if you can’t clearly see something less than five miles away. Smells can also serve as evidence of wildfire smoke, but shouldn’t always be trusted. Christine Wiedinmyer, an air quality scientist at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder, said smoke from far-off fires doesn’t carry an odor but can be dangerous nonetheless. Buy or make a high-quality indoor air filter Huffman has a portable air purifier in his living room to help remove wildfire smoke. He demonstrated its efficiency by turning on a popcorn popper with a filthy heating element. Smoke filled the room as his indoor air monitor turned an alarming red. The purifier then pulled the smoke closer with a gentle hum, bringing particulates back to safe levels in about 30 seconds. When shopping for an air purifier, Huffman said it should have HEPA filtration to remove particles. He recommends against anything with “plasma” or “ionization,” which doesn’t do much about wildfire smoke and can add other pollutants to the air. If a $200 machine is out of the question, another option can be fashioned from a box fan taped to one or several furnace filters of a MERV13 grade or higher. The device, called a Corsi-Rosenthal Box, was born after a mechanical engineer tossed out the idea on Twitter. Huffman installed a number of these contraptions around his house
and donated others to his kids’ classrooms. Instructions are available online.
Seal openings and run your air conditioner Wiedinmyer recommends sealing doors and windows to prevent any wildfire smoke from making it into the home. If you have an air conditioner, replace the filter then set it to recirculate air to further cut indoor pollutants. Not all homes have the luxury of air conditioning. Huffman has a swamp cooler, which he prefers for its energy efficiency. Because those systems rely on circulating cooled external air, they aren’t nearly as well equipped to handle poor outdoor air quality. “It’s just pushing wildfire smoke into our house pretty efficiently, which is really unfortunate,” Huffman said. He doesn’t see an easy way around the problem at the moment. On smoky days, he said households that use swamp coolers or open windows will need to decide if welcoming the bad air is worth it. Wear a high-quality mask When you have to head outside on a smoky day, Huffman recommends wearing a high-quality N95 mask to protect against particulates. Don’t bother with cloth masks, though; their mesh isn’t fine enough to stop the bits of wildfire smoke, he said. This story is from Colorado Public Radio, a nonprofit news source. Used by permission.

Colorado climate conference warns of ‘small window’ to act There is 49% more heat currently trapped by human-emitted greenhouse gases BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN
Some of the nation’s leading climate scientists May 23 sounded an alarm about the urgency of addressing climate change over the next decade, as a key index used to measure humans’ impact on the warming planet ticked higher. “Unfortunately,” said Ko Barrett, a senior climate advisor to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and a vice chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, “what we see is dire.” Barrett was giving a keynote address to NOAA’s 50th Global Monitoring Annual Conference. The conference is hosted by NOAA’s Global Monitoring Laboratory, which is based in Boulder, though the conference is virtual this year. As the name suggests, the conference brings together scientists with an expertise in climate monitoring — one presentation Monday, for instance,

involved the possible use of instruments mounted in commercial airliners to measure atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide and other gases. The work of those scientists undergirds projections of how much the world will warm in coming decades as a result of human-caused greenhouse gas pollution.

Among the conference’s highlights is the unveiling of the latest entry in NOAA’s Annual Greenhouse Gas Index, which is a way to show how much extra heat humans’ greenhouse gas pollution traps, committing the planet to a hotter world. This year’s index rose to 1.49 — 49% higher than in 1990.
Put another way, the index shows that there is 49% more heat currently trapped by human-emitted greenhouse gases than there was in 1990, said Ariel Stein, the acting director of the Global Monitoring Laboratory. Last year, the index sat at SEE ACT, P23

1.47 — 47% higher than in 1990. The increase in the index is in line with increases over the past four years. Carbon dioxide emissions are the biggest contributor to the increase in the index — 80% of the increase since 1990 is due to carbon dioxide. Three gases — carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide — account for 90% of the increased heat trapped in the atmosphere due to human activity since the mid-1700s, Stein said. “The scientific conclusion that humans are responsible for their increase is irrefutable,” Stein said. Methane emissions, which can come from oil and gas production and from livestock agriculture but also from thawing permafrost in the Arctic, are also rising quickly. Stein said the 17 parts per billion increase in observed atmospheric methane levels last year was the largest
annual increase on record. To Barrett, the NOAA climate adviser, these numbers paint a stark picture: The world is on course to miss its goals for limiting temperature increase. But, she said, it’s also important to focus on the reasons for optimism. Electric cars are gaining in popularity. Cities, through greener building practices and electrified transportation, are beginning to seize their opportunities to reduce emissions. Governments are taking serious steps to battle climate change. “The next decade is a critical time to address the climate crisis,” Barrett said. “We have a small window to shift to a carbon-neutral economy and hold climate impacts in check.”

Golden High School grapples with mental health crisis State attorney general meets with students BY PAOLO ZIALCITA COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO
Colorado attorney general Phil Weiser met with students recently at Golden High School to address the mental health crisis. “The [U.S.] surgeon general recently called teen mental health concerns a national crisis,” Weiser said to a room of students, parents, and teachers. “That was not done lightly. He looked at the levels of emergency room visits, overdose deaths, and other warning signs of what young people are facing.” Experts say the crisis is present among Colorado children, thanks in part to climate anxiety, worldwide violence, and other traumas, like ongoing grief caused by the pandemic. The top report submitted to Safe2Tell, the statewide anonymous tip line for students, is a suicide threat. And suicides remain the top cause of death of Coloradans ages 12-24.
During Golden High’s 2015 school year, three students committed suicide. “We were simply tired of going to student funerals,” Golden High principal Brian Conroy said. The tragedy led the school to work with Sources of Strength, a nonprofit that builds programs to reduce youth suicide. The program aims to increase student engagement by encouraging one-on-one conversations and changing stigmas about youth mental health. Soli Ficco, an incoming senior at Golden High, has done Sources of Strength since she was in middle school. She said it’s helped her connect with peers and change her own habits. “We’re all struggling through something,” Ficco said. “It’s never just a one-sided thing that everyone doesn’t notice, everyone’s going through something and everyone’s there to help.” Weiser spoke with students like Ficco and high school faculty who advise the program. The Colorado Department of Law has helped fund programs like Sources of Strength, with $5 million allocated to various

programs across the state. The attorney general praised the work Golden High has been doing, but acknowledged Colorado needs to make more funding and resources available to extend mental health programs to every school in the state. “You have proven the benefits and it’s on us. People like your state senator, your county commissioner, your mayor, myself, to do that work,” Weiser said. If you are in crisis or are look-
