A summer staple for art lovers Art Students League of Denver’s Summer Art Market returns Aug. 28-29 BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Local artist Lauri Dunn has discovered a whole world of interesting insects through her art. Her favorite is the praying mantis, she said. This is because of their “fun-looking heads,” Dunn added. Dunn, of Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, is a photographer and digital artist who creates abstract art pieces by digitally editing photographs of insects. She is one of nearly 100 artists participating in this year’s Summer Art Market — an event put on annually by the Art Students League of Denver. “I’m looking forward to doing shows again,” Dunn said, adding that in normal years, 90% of her art income comes from selling her work at art fairs. This is the third year for Dunn to participate in the Summer Art Market. “It feels so good to be out and talking with people. I enjoy seeing the familiar faces and meeting new people.”

Tree equity: There’s a wealth and race divide in Denver

Summer days are for shady strolls down a tree-lined street and picnics under a canopy of leaves. But how many trees — and how much shade — a person can find in their neighborhood might depend on how rich it is. Not everyone has equal access to trees and the endless benefits they provide, especially when trying to escape the summer’s sweltering heat, according to a map created by a conservation nonprofit. A recent analysis by American Forests highlights Denver’s shady

This is the 28th year for the Summer Art Market, which takes place on Aug. 28 and 29. It was canceled last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. “We are excited to bring back the Summer Art Market,” said Harry Utter, event chair, in a news release, “as it is an opportunity to highlight the work of artists and share the mission of the Art Students League of Denver.” The ASLD is a nonprofit arts organization that got its start in 1987. Today, it annually serves about 14,000 students of all abilities and ages through its various community engagement programs, and its fine arts classes, workshops, teen studios and summer camps. “Something we’re passionate about,” said Tessa Crisman, communications specialist with the ASLD, “is that art is real work, and artists should get paid for it.” What is unique about the Summer Art Market is that it showcases all the mediums that people can a take a course on at the ASLD, Crisman said. These mediums are ceramics, fiber arts, mixed media/book art, painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, jewelry and sculpture. All will be represented at the Summer Art Market, Crisman said. Additionally, the Summer Art Market, which is a juried show, highlights the ASLD community, Crisman said. Each participating artist has some sort of tie to the

ASLD, whether they be a member, volunteer, faculty or student, she said. “The Summer Art Market is a staple of so many peoples’ summer,” Crisman said. “While the art market

is different each year, it’s a touchstone that people always remember.” Joe Higgins, a monotype artist and ASLD faculty member who lives in the Sloan Lake area, believes people in the Denver area like to decorate

their homes with unique art. But they especially enjoy being able to meet the local artist who created it, Higgins added. The Summer Art Market has earned the reputation of being a good show to attend to buy art, Higgins said, and added there will be affordable price points for everyone. Higgins has participated in at least 25 Summer Art Markets and he expects there will be a lot of positive energy at this year’s event. “This show is focused on art,” Higgins said. “For us artists, it helps knowing that people who come (to it) are generally looking for art. It’s the type of show all artists want to do.”

Denver prepares to host more refugees from Afghanistan The city already has a growing number of Afghan residents BY DAVID SACHS DENVERITE

The people who resettle refugees in and around Denver were busy before the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, and they expect to get busier. “We’re waiting and watching,” said Jennifer Wilson, executive director of the International Rescue Committee’s Denver office. “We had been receiving an increase in Afghans — all refugees, actually, but Afghans in particular over the last several weeks and we were preparing for quite a few more.” But Wilson does not know how many. She said that “tens of thousands” of Afghans could be eligible to come, but the well-documented backlog of visa applications and the Taliban’s takeover of Kabul have complicated who can come here and when. “We are really urging the administration to ensure that we stay focused on those who supported the U.S. mission, who would be eligible for special immigrant visas, to maintain a diplomatic presence in Afghanistan so that we can ensure that those who should be afforded protection are able to access it,” Wilson said. Between October 2020 and July 2021, Afghan immigrants accounted for more than 40% of Colorado’s “new arrivals,” or people who came to the state as refugees and on special immigrant visas like the ones given to interpreters who worked for the United States military, according to the Colorado Department of Human Services. People from Afghanistan comprised the biggest group of new arrivals by far. Denver and Colorado

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP Here are some things that resettlement agencies and others recommend: • Volunteer to help people get to know their new city and neighborhood. Cultural mentors might help people understand their bills, for example, or their bus routes — basic everyday things that aren’t always basic. Lutheran Family Services, African Community Center and International Rescue committee Denver all have programs. “That’s huge need,” Wilson said. “And we know that whether they were born in America or not, when people from different backgrounds and experiences connected with refugees become their friends, ultimately it helps refugees integrate and help them come to the place where they feel like this is their home.” • Donate money to International Rescue Committee Denver, Lutheran Family Services Rocky Mountains, and/or African Community Center. • Donate to the Denver Immigrant Legal Services Fund. • Check out Colorado Refugee Connect (corefugeeconnect.org) for other ideas. - Denverite Springs both have a growing number of Afghan residents, Wilson said. But when they get here, some face a very Denver problem: housing. “We are, like pretty much every other city in the United States, facing a housing crisis, and there is no special support or special program for refugees coming in,” Wilson said. “They do face a lot of challenges.” It can take a year to get people into permanent housing that is also affordable, she said. Though caseworkers estimate that clients get permanent housing between two and four weeks after the resettlement agency is notified of their flight to Denver. Wilson says the International Rescue Committee and the other big resettlement agencies, African

Community Center and Lutheran Family Services, “get creative” with housing people who often come without a Social Security number or a credit score. The agencies essentially rely on nice landlords and property managers, Wilson said. Another challenge new (and existing) Afghan refugees may face is reuniting with their families, said Atim Otii, director of the Denver Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs, which supports the resettlement agencies, among other things. Otii plugged the Denver Immigrant Legal Services Fund, which helps refugees and other immigrants clear legal hurdles and get family members into the country. “They may need certain immigration processes to try to assist their family members who are either back in Afghanistan, or likely in other countries, for processing to come to the United States,” Otii said. “And in most cases, we would say that you should have a competent legal provider to help you with that process.” The fund has helped about 470 people so far, Otii said. While plenty of Afghan refugees have made their home in the city

proper, Otii said they’re spread across the region and state. And wherever they land, they face serious uncertainty. Jobs, schools, language — everything is different and new, Wilson said. And it’s not some idyllic American Dream situation. It’s a situation wrought of survival. “We’re going to work a long-term to help you get beyond that point, because ultimately we want people to thrive and to be able to contribute everything that they know they bring and have to give to their communities and to our state and this country, but it’s not an easy road,” she said. “I think it’s an interesting thing when people kind of take the line of people coming here and trying to, you know, take opportunities or, to get what they can from the system. “It’s really — it’s a tough experience. No one will ever tell you that it’s easy to resettle and rebuild your life. Safety is the main thing.” This story is from Denverite, a nonprofit Denver news source affiliated with CPR News.

Colorado’s biggest hospitals made money during pandemic Stimulus funds, investments helped make up for downturn in patient revenue BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

When the coronavirus shut down Colorado last spring, fears mounted that the state’s hospitals were about to get hammered financially. In rapidly shifting to focus on caring for sick COVID-19 patients, hospitals paused lucrative elective procedures. Patients skipped usual visits. Hospitals pumped money into buying protective equipment and turning floors into coronavirus units. Estimates for lost revenue stretched into the billions of dollars. But a new report released by a state agency on Aug. 18 concludes that Colorado’s large hospital systems ultimately turned a profit in 2020, despite the challenges. The better-than-expected performance was partly due to revenue that rebounded once more normal operations resumed in the summer, partly due to investment income from a revving stock market, and partly due to federal stimulus dollars. Looking at the national operating margins for six different systems that operate hospitals in Colorado, the state Department of Health Care Policy and Financing found

that four of them — UCHealth, HealthONE, Banner Health and AdventHealth, which makes up part of Centura Health — turned a profit or broke even before accounting for stimulus money. When including the boost from those stimulus dollars, two more systems — SCL Health and CommonSpirit, which forms the other half of Centura Health — rose to profitability as well. “All major Colorado hospital systems recorded operating profits in 2020 with no need to utilize reserves, which is a significant finding,” the report states. The situation is different, though, for Colorado’s rural and independent hospitals. Often holding enough cash at any given time to cover only three months into the future, these smaller hospitals needed the lifeline that stimulus money offered. Even then, some of them — like Boulder Community Health or Colorado Canyons Hospital and Medical Center in Fruita — lost money last year, according to the report.

Colorado hospitals had the highest profit margins in the country and the sixth-highest prices in the country in 2018, the most recent year for which data is available. That confirms an analysis presented earlier this year to a Colorado health care advocacy organization. And it comes after years of reports about increasing profit margins for the state’s biggest hospitals and systems. The new report found that Colorado hospitals saw $2.9 billion in profits in 2018 — a 15.6% profit margin, compared with the national median profit margin of 6.5%. Prices charged to patients in 2018 were 22.8% higher than the national median, a substantial increase from 2009, when prices were 9.2% higher than the national median, according to the report. “Our hospitals got worse when it came to prices,” said Kim Bimestefer, the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing’s executive

The other analysis, drawn from annual financial reports that hospitals are required to file with the federal government, found that

director. In a statement, the Colorado Hospital Association said the 2018 numbers are “a reminder of why Colorado hospitals have worked diligently to improve the affordability of health care for Coloradans.” The association pointed to years of work at the legislature to lower insurance prices, work that hospitals have often been at the negotiating table for. The result is that, while hospital prices may be high, insurance premium prices for some purchasers are among the lowest in the nation. “Colorado hospitals are committed to their employees, patients and communities, and they will continue to work as partners on innovative and effective ways to improve affordability and access to highquality care,” the association said in its statement.

divide: Neighborhoods of color and areas with higher poverty rates have fewer trees than those that are predominantly white and more affluent. The nonprofit’s interactive map (available online at tinyurl.com/ AmericanForestsMap) highlights the tree canopy in neighborhoods across the city using geospatial and census data to show which parts of the city are less protected by tree cover and more exposed to increasing and unhealthy heat levels. “You have the communities that have the most stacked against them getting the least benefit from green spaces in urban areas. It’s really important to try to increase equity in terms of access to parks and trees and green spaces,” said Colleen Reid, an assistant geography professor at University of Colorado who specializes in climate change and human health, but was not involved in the analysis. For those in less affluent neighborhoods, where the lack of shade and an abundance of heat-absorbing asphalt can cause temperatures to soar, temperatures can be as much as 10 degrees higher than in surrounding neighborhoods. As daytime temperatures rise and climate change brings record-breaking heat year after year, Colorado’s fabled sunny weather is no longer a boon for those less-shady areas. Denver just wrapped up its 16th warmest July since 1872, when records first started being collected, according to the National Weather Service’s Boulder office. Studies suggest temperatures will continue their upward trend. Experts say branches, leaves and needles casting shade over a city’s sidewalks and green spaces can play a large role in reducing the health impacts of the rising temperatures. When there is no shade, heat waves can lead to serious illness, Reid said, explaining that trees and vegetation can absorb moisture and release it to cool down the environment. That release of moisture has the potential to reduce peak summer temperatures by 2 to 9 degrees, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. “You have the highest rates of all kinds of chronic diseases in lowincome communities and communities of color because of the many challenges facing those communities,” Reid said. Sparse tree cover disproportionately affects communities of color and translates into higher rates of respiratory illness, including asthma among children, hospitalizations and deaths, said Ian Leahy,

American Forests. Its average temperature during the summer, which was measured using surveys and remote sensing data, is 94 degrees. That’s four degrees higher than in Capitol Hill, where the tree canopy ranges between 10% and 17%. Only 15% of residents identify as people of color in that neighborhood, according to the nonprofit, which completed its analysis prior to the release of the latest census data. About 2% of the North Park Hill neighborhood is shaded by trees and the average temperature hovers at 95 degrees. But travel slightly to the south into the wealthier South Park Hill neighborhood and the tree canopy jumps to 30% and the temperature drops 7 degrees, according to the map. Extreme heat can lead to heat exhaustion or heatstroke, which happens when the body isn’t able to properly cool itself. Usually the body cools itself by sweating, but when temperatures rise to extreme levels, sometimes that isn’t enough to avoid damage to the brain and vital organs. Trees provide critical infrastructure for helping cool the city and its residents, Leahy said. “What’s happening as cities heat up, our bodies are not cooling down at night when you don’t have air conditioning,” he said. “So basically, it becomes a public health issue on that front, even at night when you’re out of the hot summer sun.” Historically, trees were planted in more affluent neighborhoods where white people lived. Fewer green spaces were planned for neighborhoods where people of color and the poor lived because racist lending policies, known as redlining, characterized them as too high risk to warrant investment. Leahy pointed to studies that show that neighborhoods shaped by racist housing practices decades ago, have higher temperatures today. Correcting the problem is harder in urban areas and even more so in places like Denver, which were not forested when they were settled. “The landscape there is not natu-

rally forested, so any urban forest there is human made,” Leahy said. “They’ve done an incredible job.” The nonprofit scored Denver’s overall tree equity at 88 out of 100. Efforts by organizations like The Park People are helping to reduce the urban heat island effect by providing low-cost trees for planting on private and public lands. The organization’s program, Denver Digs Trees, has donated more than 60,000 trees over the past 35 years, according to its website. Mayor Michael Hancock has also pledged to adopt long-term strategies to ensure more city residents are within a 10-minute walk to a park or green space. Even so, there’s more work to be done, Leahy said. “Urban forestry is notoriously underfunded so it is really: How do we focus the resources that we do have in the areas with the highest impact and really trying to build on that layer of moderation and moderating those surface temperatures in the city and really treating the tree canopy as an infrastructure that can protect lives and reduce hospitalizations.” And the power of shade branches beyond heat-related illnesses, Reid said. “There is a lot of evidence of mental health benefits of just being able to see some vegetation where you

live, as you walk down the street, as you look out of the window of your home,” Reid said. “If you have less of that in your community, that can be a detriment to the ability to cope with stressors and mental health generally.” Ninety percent of Denver residents live within a 10-minute walk of a park, compared with the national average of 55%, according to the Trust for Public Land. But in its tree equity assessment released earlier this year, the organization gave Denver a park equity score of 68 out of 100 for its green spaces, finding that neighborhoods of color have 18% less park space than white neigh-

borhoods. Low-income neighborhoods have 26% less park space than high-income neighborhoods. The demand for geospatial data showing trees’ impact in communities is growing, said Vikalpa Jetly, CEO of EarthDefine, the company that provided data for American Forests’ analysis. “There are so many ecological impacts and environmental impacts of trees and cities and planners are realizing more and more their value. So to measure and try to improve tree canopy, you need really good baseline data,” Jetly said. By using the geospatial data, city planners can see where parts of their community may impact the greatest from adding more trees, Jetly said. He said he thinks the latest heat waves in the Pacific Northwest, where triple-digit temperatures killed hundreds of vulnerable people, highlighted the immediate threat from the rising temperatures and the potential role trees can play in reducing heat. “There’s a whole bunch of services that trees provide,” Jetly said, “and slowly, I think there’s been a greater appreciation that, ‘Hey, these are not just an aesthetically nice thing to have, but there is real economic value in these trees.’” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

Metro area offers lesserknown historical sites BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

hile the Denver metro area is dotted with well-known aging ranches and charming historical homesteads, some history lovers of the area may be in search of a different kind of site — one they either haven’t heard of before or that they must romp through the woods to access. In search of these types of unusual history sites, one place to look is the National Register of Historic Places. For each of the counties that surround Denver — not to mention all the counties in the United States — this register provides a list of historically significant sites, some of which are unique or little-known sites. Some of these sites, like an abandoned, rattlesnake-ridden military amphitheater in Golden, aren’t available for public access. Others, like Native American shelters in Douglas County, have a restricted location to protect them from being disturbed. But some on the list are simply often-overlooked historical sites in

the area. The list includes bridges, farms, schools, archaeological sites and more and offers new discoveries for residents curious about all the nooks and crannies of their community’s history. Here are a few of the Denver area’s hidden history gems from the National Register of Historic Places and beyond. Pioneer graves in Commerce City Did you know that Denver’s oldest cemetery is mostly in Commerce City? Riverside Cemetery, located a halfmile north of I-70 at 5201 Brighton Boulevard, was built in 1876 and registered with the national register in 1994. While the 77-acre cemetery is surrounded by industrial properties, the cemetery itself serves as a peaceful resting place for many of Colorado’s pioneers. One afternoon in August, the giant cemetery stood mostly quiet and empty save for a few birds. The gravesite serves as the final resting place for three of Colorado’s governors — John Evans, Samuel Elbert and John Routt. Pioneers buried there include Augusta Tabor, a Gold Rush pioneer; Barney Ford, who escaped from slavery; and Silas Soule, an abolitionist and soldier

Morrison’s Mount Falcon Park. The 6.7-mile, nearly 2,000-foot elevation gain loop trail leads hikers to the castle ruins of one of Denver’s early settlers and one of the area’s interesting historical characters: John Brisben Walker. In the park are both Walker’s stone mansion, destroyed by a fire, and the cornerstone of a nevercompleted home that Walker hoped would be a summer White House for the U.S. presidents. Born in 1847, Walker ended up in Denver 32 years later after having served as a general in the Chinese army, running for Congress, winning and losing a fortune and managing two newspapers, according to Morrison Historical Society. Once in Denver, he dabbled in agriculture and made himself a new fortune before going on to develop River Front Park, an amusement park that also held Denver’s first rodeo. He made a series of other purchases including Governor Evans’ “Swiss Cottage” in Morrison and all of what is now Red Rocks Park and Mount Falcon.

HISTORICAL

After a few years away from Colorado — during which time he bought the then-failing Cosmopolitan magazine, later sold it to William Randolph Hearst and also sponsored the first automobile race in the United States — Walker returned to Morrison in the early 20th century. From there, Walker began working on developing the area, building a road into town, adding a tea house and constructing hiking trails. He also built a railway to the top of Mount Morrison, making it the longest cog railway in the world at the time. During this “period of enthusiasm” Walker also dreamed up the idea of a permanent summer home for U.S. presidents, according to the historical society. Construction began on top of Mount Falcon and the cornerstone was laid, but before it could be completed, the finances dried up and the project fizzled. Nearby, Walker built his home, a stone mansion that was destroyed by fire in 1918. Walker, by then a widower with a son, moved to Brooklyn and then died in 1931. Today, the remains of his home and his dream of a summer White House remain for visitors to see in Mount Falcon Park.

The reports are the latest salvos in Gov. Jared Polis’ battle against large hospital systems that Polis has said are ripping off Colorado patients. And they showcase how HCPF, the state agency that oversees Medicaid in Colorado, has been transformed under Polis from a wonky administrator of health coverage into an all-purpose price-fighter. Medicaid spending at hospitals accounts for about 9% of the entire state budget. But the reports also land at a delicate moment. As much as state officials want to take on hospital prices and profits, they are also cautious about overplaying their hand against hospitals, which have worked closely with the state to respond to the pandemic and have been lauded as among its heroes. Bimestefer on Aug. 18 made sure to praise the work of hospitals. “Ultimately, we are extraordinarily thankful,” Bimestefer said. “We need those hospitals. They took care of our folks. They saved lives.” But she said the reports highlight lessons needing to be learned and changes needing to be implemented. Future stimulus money, for instance, could take into account

the amount of reserves a hospital has to draw from. Large hospitals could rethink their pricing and where they are investing their money, focusing on providing great community benefit and reducing disparities in care.

“Sometimes when you go through the hardest times, those are the times for the most transformational change,” Bimestefer said. “We know we need to transform.”
