getting to the mountains can be a bigger task.

irty- ve fth graders hit the slopes in Loveland for the rst time on Dec. 13, some even experiencing the mountains for the rst time.

On Dec. 13, 5th graders from Laredo Elementary School in Aurora came to Loveland Ski Area to ski with professional skierand Snow Sports Hall of Fame inductee Chris Anthony.

Anthony has been working with kids for many years and has hosted his youth program at Loveland for the past three.

e Chris Anthony Youth Initiative Project works to improve the lives of kids through educational enrichment. One of the ways the foundation does this is by bussing classes of fth graders out to Loveland ski area to spend a day learning to ski.

Anthony’s foundation pays for the bus, winter clothes, ski rentals and passes for the children to come experience the slopes. Most kids that come have never skied, and some have never spent time in the mountains despite living in Colorado.

Peter Zola is the teacher for the 5th graders at Laredo Elementary School.

“Every year we have at least two or three kids who have spent most of their life out on the plains in sight of the mountains but never in the mountains,” Zola said.

Zola has been taking his class to ski for eight years and said he always

sees great behavior out of his students during this trip. He attributes that success to the active learning the kids get to see and experience on the mountain.

Anthony sees kids get o the bus with a wide range of emotions, from excitement to nervous for the day. After a day on the slopes, he sees a common thread between all of them.

“No matter what, at the end of the day, all of them, you can see a bright light ignited in the process,” Anthony said.

Some of the kids were star-struck upon seeing Anthony, one even asking the hall of famer to sign his lunchbox.

After donning their coats and dancing out the morning jitters, the fth graders were ready to go get tted for skis.

irty- ve fth graders getting tted for boots, skis and helmets all at the same time was a bit chaotic, but

the sta ers at Loveland have done this before. e kids buzzed with excitement and quickly learned about the cumbersome feeling of ski boots.

After getting their skis ready to go, the kids headed out to the snow with the instructors. ey learned how to put on their skis, one foot at a time, and quickly learned how to get up after they inevitably fell down.

Dan Huston is the director of the ski and ride school at Loveland. He said one of the biggest barriers for people being able to ski is location/ transportation.

“ e mountains and ski areas usually aren’t very close to urban population centers, we’re unique in that we are 56 miles from Denver,” he said.

After working with the program

fth graders on the trip, had a lot to say about the day. She said the bus ride to the ski area was full of mixed emotions, but mostly excitement.

“It was a little bit chaotic, but it was good,” Hernandez said. “I was kinda feeling excited and nervous at the same time.”

Hernandez took to the sport easily and said the process of getting into her skis was pretty natural.

“While I was putting them on I guess I felt a little wobbly, but it was pretty easy,” she said.

Hernandez also had some advice for other kids who might be learning to ski for the rst time.

“It’s really a fun experience, but I do recommend having some ski clothes because of how cold it is, and because you’re going to fall,” she said.

She also went on to say how much of a blessing Chris Anthony was to her class and how happy she was that they even got the opportunity to come.

After lunch, the kids got their skis back on and some of them graduated from the Magic Carpet over to the ski lift. Skiing down the hill was a good opportunity to work on turns and pizza wedges for the 5th graders.

Anthony himself skied along with the kids throughout the day, helping to pick them up when they fell. His presence made the day even more exciting for the kids, with high- ves all around.

“All aboard!” was the call among the kindergarten and rst grade teachers at Elk Creek Elementary School on Dec. 13 as students moved from classroom to classroom on the Polar Express.

e activity modeled after the book by Chris Van Allsburg is the inspiration for students to guratively travel to di erent countries to learn about celebrations around the world. According to kindergarten teacher Deb Marinaro, Polar Express Day has been an Elk Creek tradition for years.

Students, most wearing pajamas just like the characters in “ e Polar Express,” had tickets that the teacher train conductors punched as they moved from location to location, checking out maps to see in which country they landed.

In the North Pole room, students built toys, Santa’s workshop and trains, created a Christmas tree out of green cups and created pretend treats in the kitchen area.

In kindergarten teacher Jerelyn Chism’s class, students learned about China, including making red lanterns and dragon masks for the Chinese New Year, listening to Chinese music and eating Mandarin oranges as snacks.

Kindergartners Abby Bennett and

Isla MacDonald worked hard coloring their dragon masks, saying they were enjoying Polar Express Day.

First grade teacher Amanda Evans was excited that she was teaching about St. Lucia Day on the day of the Swedish festival, telling students that Swedes say “Good Yule” instead of Merry Christmas.

ey made star-boy hats and St. Lucia crowns, and they ate thin ginger cookies. In Sweden, Evans told them, people press the middle of the cookie, and if it breaks into three parts, people can make a wish.

First grade teacher Lisa Beck eld’s Mexico room was all about poinsettias, which are grown in Mexico, and children drank spiced Mexican hot chocolate and ate Mexican wedding cakes.

e teachers agree that Polar Express Day is both educational and enjoyable.

“We hope it’s a fun day for our students,” Marinaro said, “and it’s a good way to keep them engaged before winter break.”

The truth behind the Sand Creek Massacre

History Colorado opens new exhibit enhanced with Native American perspective

BY BRUCE GOLDBERG SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

“You see us, but you don’t know who we were.”

ese are the words of Fred Mosqueda, a Southern Arapaho language and culture coordinator who spoke at the late-November opening of the new “Sand Creek Massacre: e Betrayal that Changed Cheyenne and Arapaho People Forever” exhibit at History Colorado.

“ is is the beginning of (learning). It educates you about what an Arapaho or Cheyenne are,” Mosqueda added. “ is is a truthful story, as close as they can put it.”

The Sand Creek Massacre Con icts between Native Americans and white people worsened as more people migrated West. It led to a tragic confrontation on Nov. 29, 1864, when members of the Colorado Territory militia under the leadership of U.S. Army Col. John Chivington attacked a peaceful village of Cheyenne and Arapaho people who had been promised military protection. More than 230 women, children and elders were killed. e village was located in northeast Kiowa County.

e new exhibit at History Colorado puts on display the stark truth about how the U.S. federal and state governments mistreated Arapaho, Cheyenne and other Native American tribes — breaking treaty after treaty.

“As you walk through there, and see the photos and pictures, those are truthful statements from our Cheyenne and Arapaho people,” Mosqueda said.

Listening stations allow attendees to hear oral histories from descendants of survivors of the Sand Creek Massacre. Numerous display boards about the history of the Arapaho and Cheyenne tribes allow people to

learn more about their way of living. Additional exhibit highlights include tipis built in Cheyenne and Arapaho styles, Native American clothing and historical documents from investigations of the massacre. Audio guides are available in four languages: Cheyenne, Arapaho, Spanish and English.

A partnership a decade in the making Cultural appropriation “is not solely a story in Denver. It’s an international problem,” said Sam Bock, exhibit developer and historian at History Colorado. “Museums are reckoning with this long history of (taking) the cultures of native tribes, even stealing stu from the tribes.” History Colorado opened its original Sand Creek exhibit in 2012, but it drew criticism almost immediately. Native Americans were unhappy about not being consulted about its construction and alleged inaccuracies. Descendants of survivors of the attack demanded changes to the exhibit. e museum closed the display in June 2012 and started working with Native Americans to produce a new, enhanced exhibit.

us, a 10-year partnership between History Colorado and the three tribal nations — the Northern Cheyenne in Lame Deer, Montana; the Northern Arapaho in Riverton, Wyoming; and Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes in Concho, Oklahoma — began.

“ e Sand Creek Massacre is sacred,” said Gail Ridgely, Northern Arapaho, in a news release. “Historic remembrance, educational awareness and spiritual healing are very important for the Cheyenne and Arapaho people.”

Corvids: Redefining “birdbrain”

In 1963, Jane Goodall stated, “In modifying a natural object to make it suitable for a speci c purpose — the chimpanzee has reached the rst crude beginnings of tool making.” Her discovery of chimpanzees fashioning termite shing poles from sticks changed the way scientists thought of humankind’s superiority. Weren’t only humans capable of crafting tools?

Move over, primates! Despite the lack of ngers, certain songbird species have demonstrated the ability to create tools and solve complex problems, in some instances surpassing the capabilities of apes and young children.

e family of Corvidae, which include ravens, crows, magpies and jays has demonstrated superior analytical abilities, deep emotional capabilities, engagement in play and trickery and remarkable language skills.

Researchers recorded more than 64,000 raven vocalizations from 37 raven pairs. According to crow musicologist Eleanor Brown, each family of crows has its own vocabulary of sounds, some which they share with other groups but many are distinct. By comparison, an average 3-year old child’s vocabulary consists of 1,000 words.

Corvids use their ability to mimic sounds and conduct pranks seemingly for their own amusement.

In one instance, a zookeeper reported that magpies would visit the zoo and mimic the voice of an employee who fed the chickens.

e chickens would rush to the eat the food, and though the magpies repeated the trick many times, the hapless chickens never gured out the prank.

INSIDE THE OUTDOORS

Reportedly, the ravens at the Tower of London will squawk “keep the path!” to tourists, and in Evergreen, Steller’s jays have been observed mimicking red-tailed hawks, perhaps to ru e the feathers of their avian neighbors?

Christie Greene

Laboratory and eld studies of crows’ analytical abilities continue to impress researchers. e biggest problem-solving incentive for the birds involves food rewards.

In Japan, crows were observed picking walnuts from nearby trees and then dropping them in front of cars while tra c lights were red. When the lights turn green, the nuts were cracked as the carsdrove over them. During the next red-light cycle, the crows would y down to retrieve their food, joining pedestrians in the crosswalk.

At Oxford University, researchers established a captive colony of New Caledonian crows. In one experiment, a crow named Abel ew o with a hooked wire, the only tool in the room that was designed to allow access to food, leaving his friend Betty with only straight wires. In a ash, Betty picked up a straight wire, stuck one end of the wire under a piece of tape at the base of the experiment apparatus and using her bill and body weight, she pulled the wireand bent it into a hook.

Triumphantly, Betty negotiated the remaining challenges and successfully retrieved her food reward after completing an eight-step process.

At a nature preserve in Australia, camera footage recorded crows consuming ticks from the necks and ears of wallabies drinking from a water tank. e birds positioned themselves along the rim of the tank, took aim, and with sudden stabbing motion, extracted engorged ticks the size of grapes from the ears and neck of the su ering wallabies.  e results are in: corvids are just plain smart. eir brain size in rela-

tion to body mass is equal to that of great apes and dolphins. e hawksized raven has the largest brain to body size ratio in the corvid family.

Part of a short but growing list of species able pass the mirror test, European magpies successfully demonstrated self-awareness, a feat only performed by some primates, dolphins and one species of sh. e next time someone calls you a birdbrain, be sure to say thanks!

Dealing with grief during the holidays

challenging.

BY BOB MOOK SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Between gatherings with friends and family — and the “expectation” of joyfulness — the holiday season can be fraught with stress, even in the happiest of times. For those grieving the loss of a loved one, a broken relationship or a career setback, the season can be especially

One thing is for certain: ere is no right way or wrong way to grieve, according to University of Colorado College of Nursing Assistant Professor Heather Coats and Associate Professor of Clinical Teaching Kerry Peterson.

Dr. Coats has more than 20 years of clinical experience in palliative, oncology and hospice care. Her research focuses on improving quality of communication and the psychological-social-spiritual well-being of people living with serious illnesses, as well as their families.

Dr. Peterson is the specialty di-

rector of CU Nursing’s Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Program. She has worked clinically with patients who are struggling with many types of grief, with an emphasis on psychotherapy and interventions for individuals who have experienced trauma and abuse.

Here are their thoughts about dealing with grief this time of year:

Every season is grief season

During the holidays, many of us host or participate in gatherings and traditions with the expectation that everybody should be happy. For those and other reasons, one might

think that grief would become more exacerbated, but it’s a year-long phenomenon. Still, the absence of certain loved ones might be especially noticeable in the days from anksgiving through New Year’s Day.

“Grieving is a process,” Coats says. “Part of the process is recognizing what the triggers are. Maybe your loved one died in summer — so, the onset of summer is the trigger. Maybe your loved one died at Christmas, so that’s a trigger. But grief is not something that should be considered or thought about only

After a disappointing season, the Denver Broncos are due for a makeover.

Except this time, it isn’t coming in the form of a new shiny coach or quarterback, but a Mile High upgrade.

eir home, Empower Field at Mile High, is getting a renovation, and the NFL is lending a big hand in making the remodel come true.

e team announced Wednesday that it received more than $100 million through the league’s G-4 nancing program. It’s the largest capital project investment in the stadium’s 22-year history.

“ is signi cant investment in Empower Field at Mile High —- the largest in the stadium’s history — demonstrates the deep commitment by the Walton-Penner Family OwnershipGroup to immediately and continually provide the best possible experience for our fans,” President Damani Leech said in a statement. “As we look toward the future with the long-term plans for our stadium, we are equally focused on the present to ensure Empower Field at Mile High remains a premier sports and entertainment venue.”

e NFL G-4 program allows NFL teams to receive assistance for sta-

dium projects. e funding from the program is considered a loan and is repaid from the visiting team’s share of certain seating. A team applying for the loan is required to put up matching dollars.

e most recent example is the Bu alo Bill’s recent approval of $200 million toward a new stadium. With the loan and owners Ted and Kim Pegula matching the funds, the Bills have $400 million for the $1.354 billion project. Local taxpayers are expected to foot the rest of the bill. For the Broncos, the G-4 loan will cover most of the costs. e Metropolitan Football Stadium District, which levies and collects sales taxes in nancing the stadium’s projects, have already earmarked $12 million toward the upgrades.

e project is slated to begin after this season and complete before the start of the 2023 season. It will upgrade video boards, premium hospitality areas, technology, concessions, the Broncos Team Store and elevators.

e Broncos say the video board enhancements are the most enticing of all the anticipated projects. e south-end scoreboard will expand by 70 percent. e new 72-feet-tall by 225-feet-wide scoreboard would be the fourth-largest scoreboard in the league.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WATER RIGHTS TO PRESERVE THENATURALENVIRONMENT TO A REASONABLE DEGREE, IN CLEAR CREEK COUNTY, COLORADO.

The CWCB is the state water planning agency which, among other duties, is tasked with appropriating, acquiring and protecting instream flow (ISF) water rights to preserve and improve the natural environment to a reasonable degree for streams and lakes in the state. The CWCB is the only entity in the state that is authorized to appropriate ISF water rights. These water rights are held on behalf of the people of Colorado for the preservation of the water dependent natural environment. ISF water rights work within Colorado’s water law system, and are junior to any existing rights and practices at the time of appropriation of the ISF. According to section 37-92-102 (3) (b), C.R.S. “Any such appropriation shall be subject to the present uses or exchanges of water being made by other water users pursuant to appropriation or practices in existence on the date of such appropriation, whether or not previously confirmed by court order or decree.” For more information on whether this provision applies to specific undecreed uses of water in or above the proposed instream flow segments, and potential recognition of such uses in the CWCB’s water court decree, or any other questions please contact Rob Viehl. CWCB staff and entities that recommended streams for ISF water rights are in the process of gathering scientific data on the subject streams to finalize the recommendations and specific flow rates. Flow rates will be based on the minimum flow rate necessary to protect the natural environment and typically vary seasonally depending on the needs of the species. If approved by the CWCB, these water rights will have an appropriation date no earlier than 2023. More information regarding the ISF Recommendations are available online at: https://cwcb. colorado.gov/2023-isf-recommendations. There is currently one recommended ISF stream segment in Clear Creek County that may be appropriated in 2023, Herman Gulch. The recommendation starts at its headwaters and terminates 3.64 miles downstream at the confluence with Clear Creek.

The CWCB has an existing ISF Water Right on Herman Gulch from its headwaters to the confluence with Clear Creek, in the amount of 2.0 cfs (01/01 – 12/31), decreed in Case No. 84CW0650 with an appropriation date of 7/13/1984.

“ ere needs to be a recognition that the holidays create a lot of hustle and bustle,” Coats says. “But that doesn’t mean you take away the grief and put the hustle and bustle in its place so that you live in denial that the grief is there. Don’t let the hustle and bustle not allow you to grieve.”

Use: All municipal purposes, including fire protection, irrigation of lawns, gardens and parks, domestic, commercial, industrial, recreational, fish and wildlife propagation, reservoir evaporation replacement, augmentation, and the right of reuse. 4. Provide a detailed outline of what has been done toward completion or for completion of the appropriation and application of water to beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures, during the previous diligence period: A. The Subject Water Rights are part of an integrated system operated by Applicants for use of water within Clear Creek County, which system includes other reservoirs, exchanges, and senior water rights. Pursuant to § 37-92-301(4)(b), C.R.S., work performed, effort, and cost expended on one feature of the project or system shall be considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown in the development of water rights for all features of the entire project or system. B. The Subject Water Rights are incorporated into Clear Creek County’s basin-wide augmentation plan decreed in Case No. 05CW302 (hereinafter, “Basin-Wide Augmentation Plan”). Throughout the diligence period of November 7, 2016 to the present (“Diligence Period”), Clear Creek County has operated, managed, administered, and maintained accounting for the Basin-Wide Augmentation Plan. During the Diligence Period, the County followed the decreed procedure to include ten new plan participants into the Basin-Wide

Certain of the County’s reservoirs are identified in the draft 2023 update to the Colorado Water Plan’s Basin Implementation Plan for purposes of funding studies and construction of certain facilities through the Identified Project and Process. The County also has engaged in internal water planning efforts. F. During the Diligence Period, the County has maintained its water rights portfolio and prosecuted several water court applications related to its water rights, including: Upper Johnson Gulch Reservoir (Case No. 17CW3007, entered September 14, 2017); Grizzly Gulch Reservoir (Case No. 17CW3115, entered March 1, 2018); Green Lake (Case No. 18CW3184, entered June 25, 2019); Leavenworth Reservoirs Nos. 1 and 2 and Bakerville Reservoirs Nos. 1 and 2 (Case No. 19CW3095, entered November 19, 2019); BasinWide Augmentation Plan exchanges for two of the Subject Water Rights (Case No. 20CW3082, entered April 6, 2021); and amendment to King Murphy School Pond augmentation plan (Case No. 20CW3165, entered April 14, 2022). G. Clear Creek County monitored the Water Court applications in Division No. 1 and opposed approximately eight (8) Water Court applications to protect its water rights during the Diligence Period, including the Subject Water Rights. H. The County has conferred, and continues to confer, with Colorado Department of Transportation (“CDOT”) regarding the water storage and diversion structures within the County’s Water Bank, which is part of the County’s integrated system. Such water storage and diversion structures include the Subject Water Rights, which are contained or partially contained within CDOT right-of-way. Additionally, the County’s Water Bank continues to provide augmentation water necessary for Highway I-70

In spring of 2022, County staff attended a meeting with the Freis and their representatives regarding the development of a public - private partnership for the development and construction of two of the Subject Water Rights, Clear Creek Reservoirs Nos. 3 and 4. J. The County expended in excess of $1.38 million, and dedicated additional staff time, towards the activities described above during the Diligence Period. 5.
