While presenting Mayor Michael Hancock’s proposed 2022 budget on Sept. 15, city Chief Financial Officer Brendan Hanlon warned Denver’s recovery is fragile, and depends on things like the delta variant.

Oh, and a possible ballot measure that could cost the city millions in tax revenue.

The financial hit would be so dire, according to Hancock, that he took a moment during his presentation for his proposed $1.49 billion budget to warn the public about it.

Tay Anderson report cites ‘flirtatious’ contact with DPS teen But investigation does not back assault claims

BY OLIVIA PRENTZEL, DANIEL DUCASSI, AND ERICA BREUNLIN THE COLORADO SUN

Independent investigators could not substantiate claims that Denver Public Schools board member Tay Anderson committed sexual assault.

The investigation found that Anderson engaged in “flirtatious social media contact” with a 16-year-old DPS student after he was elected a board member and posted threatening social media messages during the investigation.

Evidence collected during the nearly six-month long investigation by Investigations Law Group showed that Anderson, 23, stopped communicating with the 16-yearold DPS student after learning her age, the 96-page report — released Sept. 15 — says. (The report can be downloaded at tinyurl.com/TayAndersonDPSreport) However, investigators found that “it was more likely than not” that in 2018, before Anderson was a board member, he made unwelcome sexual comments and advances toward members and associates of the board of directors of Never Again Colorado, a student organization at University of Denver.

Anderson was elected to the DPS

Denver North High School, but the report did not find evidence that there was any connection between his work for the district and his behavior as the head of Never Again Colorado.

Investigators found two instances in which Anderson was “objectively flirtatious” with two high school girls over social media. In 2018, when then then-20-year-old Anderson was running for his seat on the Board of Education, he messaged a 17-year-old girl who was then a senior at a Douglas County high school, asking her on dates, the report says.

Investigators could not find evidence that he sexually assaulted 62 DPS students, as alleged by a district parent in testimony to state lawmakers in May. The report raised questions about the credibility of the parent, MaryKatherine Brooks Fleming, noting that she “did not volunteer specific or corroborating information in her statements.”

“The report reveals behavior unbecoming of a board member,” a Sept. 16 DPS statement said. “As elected officials, we must hold ourselves and each other to the highest standards in carrying out the best interests of the district. Director Anderson’s behavior does not meet those standards.”

Anderson has insisted he has never sexually assaulted anyone.

Anderson met with investigators twice, with his attorney present, and answered every question he was asked regarding the allegations, the report says.

The report found that his conversations online with the 16-year-old girl and his two social media posts, which some witnesses may have perceived as threatening and discouraged some from coming forward with information, “implicated” Anderson’s integrity, the district’s

high ethical standards and the obligation to act in the best interests of the DPS community.

Anderson responded to the report’s findings in a statement posted on Twitter. “I believe the most important message that can be conveyed at this time is that the finding of unsubstantiated claims against me is in no way a victory over survivors, but rather an opportunity to reconsider how we view and create not only restorative, but also transformative justice, for survivors, falsely accused and correctly convicted,” he said.

The heavily redacted report came after a nearly six-month long investigation into accusations against Anderson that cost the district $105,449.63, television station KDVR reported. Investigators interviewed 63 people and reviewed thousands of pages of evidence, according to the district.

The board appointed Investigations Law Group in April to look into the accusations.

Denver police began their own investigation into the claims of sexual misconduct and reached out to the law firm in June to ask for a meeting. The report stated that Denver police told the firm to stop its investigation and keep the police investigation under wraps until officers finished their interviews in early August.

The section about Anderson’s behavior as a DPS employee, before his time on the school board, and which references the DPD investigation, is heavily redacted. The school district’s statement said that the section “documents an investigation into student allegations under Title IX and these records cannot be provided under the Colorado Open Records Act.” Investigators from the private firm SEE ANDERSON, P11

Saint Joseph Hospital parent to merge with Utah-based group SCL Health will give up its corporate name and leadership

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

SCL Health, which runs Denver’s Saint Joseph Hospital, and Utahbased Intermountain Health announced their intent to merge on Sept. 16.

When complete — perhaps early next year — the combined nonprofit system will employ more than 58,000 caregivers and operate 33 hospitals, Jumonville and it will operate 385 clinics across six states, according to a statement.

Linda Jumonville, president and CEO of Broomfield-based SCL Health, and Dr. Marc Harrison, CEO of Intermountain Health, Harrison based in Salt Lake City, said the merger wouldn’t mean layoffs or changes in available products/services.

“This merger wasn’t done with a need to cut costs,” Jumonville said.

“We operate efficiently because there is no geographic overlap. I expect very little change, other than

to accelerate innovative approaches faster.”

“Day to day, we’re going to work to get better with the tools we bring to bear,” Harrison said.

Lutheran Medical Center in Wheat Ridge, Good Samaritan Medical Center in Lafayette and Platte Valley Medical Center in Brighton, among other hospitals in Colorado and Montana. It is a faith-based organization affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church.

SCL Health will give up its corporate name and overall leadership to the larger Intermountain, but the

individual Colorado hospitals such as St. Joseph and Good Samaritan will retain their names and their religious identity.

Harrison and Jumonville didn’t promise an absence of increased health care costs once the new organization is in place.

“If you go and look at our track record, objectively speaking, we provide high-quality care at low cost,” Harrison said. “The future is bright. We are getting interest from insurers.”

“We have great relations with our payers,” Jumonville added. “They

believe we are committed to affordable health care. They are going to think this (the merger) is a good thing.”

SCL requires COVID vaccinations of its employees. Intermountain Health does not. Harrison said the vaccination rate was “north of 80%.”

“The public health emergency is over the thousands of people who are not vaccinated,” he said. “Intermountain complies with federal regulations. We would never leave our patients in a lurch.”

“We’re evaluating what we need to do with respect to the order of the administration” requiring vaccines of businesses with more than 100 employees, Jumonville said.

The announcement said the merged organization will create a model health system to provide high-quality, accessible, and affordable health care to more patients and communities in Colorado, “There aren’t too many times when you can create something so special,” Jumonville said. “Our teams are so aligned. We chose to do this. This is the right thing for our health communities.”

“The pay-provider model, when done right, makes health care affordable,” Harrison said. “Together, we can do more of this.”

Jumonville said there are better ways to deliver health care.

“We need to move more into homes, more into telehealth,” she said. “We need to accelerate it.”

Mask rules drive parents’ demand for doctor notes Colorado pediatricians are being bombarded with requests

BY OLIVIA PRENTZEL THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado parents are seeking an end-run around mask requirements at their children’s schools: Doctor’s notes exempting them for dubious medical reasons.

And in mask-averse Douglas County, where elected leaders already opted to create their own health department to sidestep unpopular COVID-19 public health orders, some parents aren’t taking “no” for an answer.

Hundreds of parents have called Pediatrics at the Meadows in Castle Rock to request doctor’s notes — some who turned angry when their requests were denied and promised “physical, financial and political revenge.”

“We understand and empathize with families who are looking for ways to help their children avoid the burden of mask-wearing. Trust me, I get it,” Dr. Michael Milobsky said in a Facebook post about the flood of calls that left staff members feeling “under attack.”

But Milobsky said the clinic would continue to side with American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendations regarding mask-wearing for

NOTES FROM PAGE 6

of Sept. 13, the state Department of Public Health and Environment reported 80 ongoing outbreaks of the coronavirus at K-12 schools across the state.

In recent says, Dr. Hector de Leon in Fort Collins said he has received at least a dozen requests for doctor’s notes exempting children, and that his colleagues based in Denver have received several requests a day.

Explaining to parents who insist their children not wear a mask has been a challenge at times.

“More often than not we are not able to write these letters,” said de Leon, a pediatrician with Kaiser Permanente. “We give families other tips and tools to get the masks going.

I understand that it is a tough thing that parents are faced with. But our job is to try to keep as many kids as possible safe and from getting sick with COVID.” Many pediatricians, like de Leon and Milobsky, stand by the American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendation for universal mask wearing in schools given that the majority of the student population is ineligible for vaccines. Wearing masks is proven to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and protect those who are not vaccinated.

Even so, some parents are frustrated and others become upset when de Leon refuses to write the notes, he said.

“It’s important to start by framing for families why we are doing this

and why we are asking for masks, still. The fact is, with children, kids under 12 especially, we don’t have a vaccine for them. So we’re trying to get them back in school in a safe way,” de Leon said.

Jeffco reviews requests As of Sept. 7, Jeffco Public Schools had received 208 mask exemption requests, 59 of which were denied because the application did not meet the requirements outlined by Jeffco Public Health, school district spokeswoman Cameron Bell said.

While the school district does not set the criteria for mask exemptions, it is reviewing requests to ensure they meet the requirements of the public health order issued by the county’s public health department in late August, Bell said.

The Jeffco district also received 281 religious exemption requests, which were all denied as they do not meet the criteria of the public health order, she said.

In southwest Colorado, the schools in San Luis haven’t reported an uptick in doctor’s notes for children, said Toby Melster, superintendent of Centennial School District R-1.

“I’ve seen some of the stories about the contentious board meetings where they are going to be discussing either wearing a mask or not wearing a mask,” Melster said.

“But so far, our community has been really good. We haven’t had a lot of pushback, to be honest with you.”

At least three of the schools in the San Luis Valley that do not require its students to wear masks have had to quarantine classrooms due to COVID-19 infections, but the Centen-

MORE ON THE MASK DEBATE ONLINE Since this newspaper went to press, Colorado Community Media reporters have been following fast-moving developments in the ongoing debate over school COVID-safety mask-wearing policies and the Tri-County Health Department. For the latest news, visit ColoradoCommunityMedia.com. nial School District, which is based in the town of San Luis and requires masks, has not had to require any of its classes to quarantine thus far, Melster said.

List of reasons is short Despite the large number of requests for notes, the list of medicalbased reasons to not wear a mask is short, said Dr. Sara Saporta-Keating, an infectious disease specialist from Children’s Hospital Colorado.

“Ultimately, what it comes down to is a person’s ability to take a mask off if there is a problem,” SaportaKeating said.

Children younger than 2 are exempt, as are children who physically are unable to take off their mask or unable to communicate that they need the mask off in an emergency situation, she said.

“Really what we try to do is weigh the risk and benefits of wearing the mask versus potentially getting COVID,” she said.

While some parents feel wearing a mask could be difficult for children with asthma, it can actually provide them with more protection and potentially shield them from other

respiratory diseases that could trigger an attack, Saporta-Keating said.

She said she received an email from her 4-year-old son’s pediatrician earlier this year — before parents could start requesting notes — stating that the practice would be advising children 2 years and older to wear a mask, in line with AAP’s guidance.

“They were proactive about it,” she said.

Her son and his classmates are doing very well with their masks inside the classroom, she said.

“So I certainly think it is not only parents’ peace of mind, but I think the school and teachers’ peace of mind as well, understanding that when there is good mask-wearing, it really decreases the chance of a COVID outbreak occurring within a school,” she said.

Fewer outbreaks in schools also means that children will have more access to their support systems in schools, rather than being isolated at home, Saporta-Keating said.

“We know there are a lot of challenges with mental health, particularly right now,” she said, “but one thing we know is that the return to normalcy and the return to the support systems that children have in their schools is incredibly important and can actually benefit them from a mental health standpoint.”

can imagine,” Zeller said.

Sometimes these international guests stay in Zeller’s home for about a week and sometimes they come just for dinner.

“Breaking bread in one’s home is universally meaningful to all cultures,” Zeller said. “These opportunities have allowed me to show a personal side to the good experience these visitors have in Colorado, and helps them feel the goodwill that they take back to their home countries.”

Zeller is a founding member of WorldDenver and an emeritus board member. The international visitors she has hosted are people chosen to participate in the International Visitors’ Leadership Program, which is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State.

“Denver has so much to share with the world,” said John Krieger, executive director of WorldDenver, “and we make those connections.”

WorldDenver is a membershipbased nonprofit organization that connects Denver — and Colorado — to the world through international exchange, education, and personal interaction with international leaders, professionals and students, states its website.

“It matters that we feel connected to the greater world, here in landlocked Denver,” Zeller said. “WorldDenver is a community of members that supports the great programs and visiting delegations that help us understand the perspectives of our

fellow humans — and helps those other humans understand us.”

WorldDenver is perhaps most known for facilitating the International Visitors’ Leadership Program, and for being Denver’s World Affairs Counsel. But, WorldDenver also has a Young Professional membership, and puts on a variety of other programming, such as an annual International Women’s Day event.

“The biggest issues we face are borderless. They’ve got to be solved with global cooperation,” Krieger said. “Members come to WorldDenver to get that global connection.”

WorldDenver put on some virtual programming during the COVID-19

pandemic shutdowns, but also turned attention to incorporating more educational programs for youth — something that had been on a priority list for quite some time, Krieger said.

The organization started to put together a plan to connect U.S. students ages 14-17 with students of the same age in the Middle East and North Africa — Iraq and Morocco, specifically.

Called the World Affairs Challenge Virtual Exchange, the new program is being implemented by WorldDenver, and supported by the Stevens Initiative.

The Stevens Initiative, which is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, “is an international effort to build global competence and career readiness skills for young people in the United States and the Middle East and North Africa by growing and enhancing the field of virtual exchange,” states a news release.

WorldDenver is one of 19 grantees to be named a 2021 Stevens Initiative grantee.

What the youth will do in the program is work in bi-national teams to identify a challenge in their community that is related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

They will work together to create a solution, and the program will culminate with the students presenting their challenge and solution

plan in video format. Winners of the competition will get to implement their plan.

The youth will develop relationships and lifelong friendships with their peers abroad, while also building empathy, developing leadership skills and learning about new topics.

“When young people can turn their ideas into real action, especially while working cross-culturally, it is immensely powerful and transformative,” Krieger said in a news release, “setting them on a path toward meaningful global citizenship and community involvement.”

Kelly Jones-Wagy is one of the local World Affairs Challenge Virtual Exchange facilitators/mentors.

“Students generally have incredible ideas,” Jones-Wagy said. “As a facilitator, my goal is just to help them to focus those ideas as they work with their counterparts through the virtual exchange.”

Jones-Wagy said she hopes the students learn from each other.

“Not just about their project, but also about all of the things that they have in common,” Jones-Wagy said.

“The more time we all spend getting to know people, the more we will be able to respect and care for others.”

VOICES

Adding experience to life’s greatest teachers

T

his column is dedicated to all the wonderful and committed teachers in our communities. Before the pandemic began, they already had my deepest respect. So, a big shoutout to each teacher in my life who helped me in some WINNING way along life’s journey, I appreciWORDS ate you all so much.

Teachers have a special gift and calling. And yet teachers are also grossly overworked and underpaid, and in many cases, overly criticized and underappreciated. All Michael Norton of this has become amplified over the past 19 months as our already stretched education system is caught in the collateral damage of the pandemic and other societal pressure points.

Masks, vaccinations, social distancing, hybrid learning, conflicting curriculums, forced curriculum change mandates, belief systems and constrained budgets all coming to a boil of disruption at the same time. My admiration for the teaching community only increases

as they continue to pour into their students while giving tirelessly of themselves.

By the way, I am including the entire teaching community. Educators at every level, coaches, mentors, trainers, corporate learning teams.

Each person who has a platform to develop their students, learners, and those they coach must deal with the very same things as someone who is teaching in a classroom, teaching virtually, or in some hybrid delivery model.

What can we talk about? What can’t we say? Where are the boundaries? Are there any boundaries?

How do we stay healthy? How can we keep our students safe? Is what we taught yesterday still relevant, let alone accepted today? Are there new skills, thoughts and theories that need to be explored? These are just a few of the variables and curveballs being thrown at those responsible for our education and personal and professional development.

Here is the upside. Never in history has the learning community been in such a position to acquire knowledge through academic, coaching, and training best practices coupled with access to information. And

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Seek peaceful solutions, not war There is a saying that in peacetime, children bury their parents and in war, parents bury their children. This year when my son turned 33, I remember thinking and hoping that he will never go to war and that he will bury me.

As we witness the removal of 126,000 people from Kabul, there is a lot of blame about whose fault it is that Afghanistan fell to the Taliban.

Rather than focus on 20 years of what happened, it may be important to remember that in 2001, when we seemed quite vulnerable as a nation, Congress authorized “the use of United States Armed Forces against those who were responsible for the attacks in the United States.”

This allowed broad power to the president. Twenty years later we live under the consequence of that decision.

DENVER Since 1926

In 2021, may we learn lessons from our time in Afghanistan that include repealing authorizations from 2001 and 2002 called the AUMF (or Authorization for Use of Military Force). These authorizations allowed four presidents to expand military operations throughout the world without the consent of Congress.

Never again should Congress be prevented from debating and discussing where our U.S. troops should go. Discussions that may lead to other solutions that are not solely reliant on military intervention.

As we look forward to what is next, I wish that no parents bury their children but that our strength as a county depends on diplomacy and humanitarian support. This is what is needed for the next 20 years in Afghanistan and around our world.

When we provide life experiences and we are actively and openly talking about what is happening locally and globally today, we will have the greatest impact on where out students are going tomorrow.

“The best teachers are those who show you were to look but don’t tell you what to see.” - Alexandra K. Trenfor. We have a lot of people telling us where to look and what to see and hear right now. As students, and we are all students, we should consistently be challenging ourselves to look at life through the lens of concepts, theories, and experience.

Can we really prevent suicide? Maybe

I

t’s no secret that Colorado has one of the highest suicide rates in the nation. But what remains GUEST elusive is why and COLUMN what we can do about it to truly make a significant difference.

As the former state legislator who led Linda Newell the establishment of the Colorado Suicide Prevention Commission, and a commissioner serving on it now, my commitment to finding the answer is fierce. But as a suicide-loss survivor, my drive for this quest is even stronger.

By now, almost everyone probably knows that it is

Suicide Prevention Month across the country.

I could go on and on with a whole bunch of statistics alarming you of the toooften occurrence of someone killing themselves in Colorado, but instead, let’s focus on what we can do to potentially prevent it.

It is not only up to therapists, hospitals, and the government to take action.

Yes, we can continue to focus on it and build an infrastructure of systems and resources that people in need can use. And in Colorado, we’re doing a good job of that, considering the lean state budgets we have.

But what can you and I do to stop anyone from harming themselves? Well, if we’re too late in the process, we can sometimes do nothing, honestly. And in those circumstances, we will hopefully not allow

ourselves to feel guilt or ask ourselves, “What could I have done?”

Sometimes, we are completely unaware of what’s going on inside another person, and there’s nothing we can do about it.

However, there are some proactive things we can do to “set the infrastructure” in our families and relationships that can make a big difference, and even save a life. Let’s talk about our children, for instance.

We may not want to admit it, but the statistics show that in Colorado, some children are considering ending their own lives as early as 6 years old. Why? What drives a child to think about that or even think of suicide as an option? And what can we do to prevent that?

Research tells us that one

never has there been a time where we have had the opportunity to experience life with all its conflicts, contrasts, and challenges that we are living through today. Teaching theory, providing structure and concepts for problem-solving are important. And when we add the potency of real-world experiential learning to the solid fundamentals and advanced applications of teaching we have an enormous opportunity for growth.

Some believe that experience is life’s greatest teacher. This is only true if we learn from those experiences. The important thing is that when we fail, and we will, that we learn from that failure. Equally as important is that when we succeed, we learn from our successes. If we will let it, life has so much to teach us when it comes to understanding what works and what doesn’t work in the real-world. Life teaches us how to live, communicate, and optimize our performance at home and at work.

As we think about the future generations and the future leaders in our communities, government and in the workplace, we should be thinking about how we could impact their growth and the future of soci-

BUDGET FROM PAGE 1

The mayor said the ballot measure, Initiative 304, would cost the city $80 million in tax revenue if it passes, since it calls for a citywide sales tax reduction. He called it a “threat” to the city’s future budget strategies; whereas Garrett Flicker, who filed the petition to get the measure on the ballot, said in a statement to Denverite the proposal would provide “some economic relief” from regressive taxes for residents who need it most.

Hancock’s comments on the measure were a tense moment in an otherwise reassuring series of remarks. The mayor called his dproposed budget financially responsible and equitable, arguing it will help both people who live here and people who work here.

“It does all this by investing in our people and putting their recovery first and foremost,” Hancock said.

The 2022 proposed budget is bigger than the current year, and closer to -the one Denver City Council approved for 2020, before the pandemic swept the globe and the city’s coffers took a hit: The city ended up losing $211 million in expected revenue in 2020.

The proposed 2022 spending plan is about a 12% increase over the current budget, which was roughly $1.3 billion.

Hancock said his proposal would create “thousands of new jobs,” that will help stimulate the city’s economy and supports some of the city’s underserved communities, including people of color.

Some of the ways the money would be spent: $200 million for capital improvements, so building and maintaining

found two instances in which Anderson was “objectively flirtatious” with two high school girls over social media. In 2018, when then-20year-old Anderson was running for his seat on the Board of Education, he messaged a 17-year-old girl who was then a senior at a high school in Douglas County, asking her on dates, the report says.

The girl told investigators that he made her feel “extremely uncomfortable,” according to the report.

Anderson admitted to flirting with the girl, explaining that he was not aware that she had not yet graduated and that he did not remember asking her to spend the night at his home, the report says.

Investigators were unable to find a copy of the conversation between the two as they were talking over hSnapchat, an app that deletes conversations immediately.

Between July 2020 and August .

2020, Anderson messaged a then-16year-old student through Facebook and text message, asking the girl more than once if she lived with her parents or lived alone, the report stated.

He told investigators that once he

things like roads and mobility ($85 million), parks and recreation ($46 million), and city buildings ($42 million). $190 million for housing stability and homelessness resolution, including $31.9 million for the city’s Affordable Housing Fund and $90 million toward directly supporting people experiencing homelessness. $5 million in projects to improve access to cooling and green space and to reduce vulnerability to flooding, with an emphasis on helping disproportionately impacted communities. $13.6 million to hire more first responders, including cops, firefighters and sheriffs.

Some new funding includes: $9.2 million for transit investment from additional revenue generated by increasing metered parking rates from $1 to $2 per hour $5.7 million from marijuana tax

found out the girl’s age he stopped communicating with her and admitted that he made a mistake by doing so.

In May, one day after a DPS parent who testified to state lawmakers, Anderson posted a photo to his private Facebook page that shows a cartoon character pointing a gun at Bugs Bunny with text: “Do it bitch.”

The investigation was ongoing and the law firm was still trying to get witnesses to come forward, the report says. Anderson deleted the post after a few hours.

In July, he posted a “warning” to his Facebook page to people who have “engaged in conversation disparaging” his name, the report says.

“If you commented, liked a comment, made a post/tweet, or even a simple DM. I have your name, I won’t retaliate against you whatsoever. Here is the warning do not speak to me ever again. I will literally act like you do not exist,” Anderson said in the post, according to the report.

revenue to create a business development program to help people of color and women interested in breaking into the marijuana industry. $1.4 million for two Street Enforcement Teams responsible for public safety and code enforcement. $1 million to create a Crisis Response Team providing emergency mental health services inside the city’s jails.

The spending plan calls for using some of the city’s $308 million in federal coronavirus relief money for housing and shelter services, as well as to support local businesses.

Hancock’s administration is bank-

ing on voters passing a $450 million bond package this fall to help pay for additional projects throughout the city.

“These funds, together, will galvanize our recovery,” Hanlon said.

The proposal is heading to Denver City Council, which has to approve the budget. The council has been hearing from Hanlon and other folks within the city’s finance department for the past several weeks, and it hasn’t always been a walk in the park.

There have been a few tense moments as lawmakers called out the mayor’s administration for the ways it wants to spend money and the way it communicates with city lawmakers.

The City Council released its six budget priorities in July after their annual budget retreat. In a release on Sept. 15, the council said it will make sure budget requests made by each agency and department in the city aligns with those priorities.

The council hasn’t responded to the budget proposal’s specifics yet.

Hanlon said he looks forward to the dialogue with City Council.

“We have nearly two weeks’ worth of budget hearings so I imagine we’ll have some robust conversations,” Hanlon said.

The entire, 786-page proposed budget book is available online at tinyurl.com/DenverMayorsBudget2022.

LIFE

Pandemic, concerns about sustainability shape style trends

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

M

omentous events are often a force in shaping fashion trends and industry standards.

Locally, Denver metro area fashion gurus say they are seeing new trends amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and as environmental sustainability is increasingly grabbing consumers’ attention.

A resurgence of ’90s style, and retro vibes. Sparkles and sequins. Bold colors, and patterns galore. Also, an emphasis on individual style rather than fitting in a box, body positivity and sustainable fashion.

Genesis Gomez, a Westminster-based model, like many accrued a collection of loungewear when the pandemic first struck.

“I had my daytime pajamas, and my nighttime pajamas,” she said. “I have a whole slipper collection now.”

More recently, she switches it up. Some days she’s back to wearing professional clothing — a blazer and nice shirt — but not every day. With a longtime penchant for ’70s style, Gomez is also embracing that trend lately, throwing on oversized sunglasses and bellbottom jeans, styled with a sleek middle part and natural makeup.

“Embracing the oranges, greens, blues, tie-dye,” she

said. “I’m big on the ’70s look these days.”

Interviewed as the model prepared to walk shows in New York Fashion Week, Sept. 8-12, she said she was most heartened to see people focusing on being themselves,.

“I think that that is truly beautiful, how we are kind of coming into a world where people are just really embracing what fits them best,” she said.

Amanda Crazybear is another model who works throughout the Denver metro area. She’s studied fashion history and worked in the industry for 10 years.

“I feel like everybody has had just a rough time and kind of got lost,” Crazybear said of the pandemic. “Now everybody is kind of emerging.”

She’s watching her two teenage daughters join the revival of ’90s trends, picking up styles she once wore herself, she said, and mixing in goth and urban streetwear inspiration too.

“I think the ’90s were just a fun, funky time of freedom of expression for people,” she said.

Like her daughters, Crazybear said she’s observing people mesh multiple styles, not just settling for one. Dressing up also helps a person feel good, she said, complimenting Colorado designers for creating designs that empower people of diverse backgrounds and needs.

Darlene C. Ritz is the Denver-based fashion designer behind DCR Studios. She has a doctorate in education and a passion for designing for every body type.

For several years there has been a shift away from homogenous trends throughout society toward more individual expression, she said, and the pandemic’s onset expedited that. People were home more, browsing the internet, on their phones and online shopping.

For many, shopping became a pastime. Anything

they wanted was available with the click of a button, and so too was fashion information, she said.

That’s helped lead to consumers becoming more educated, and as a result making a return to slow fashion and sustainable fashion, she said. They’re deciding to waste less, as are designers. They are purchasing higher-quality items in order to keep them longer, instead of throwing items away after little use.

Ritz took her collection to New York Fashion Week,

where she also focused on less waste and including all body types and genders. She gathered inspiration on a trip to Mexico, taking in the many colors, and on a trip to Las Vegas, where she saw an exhibit that featured a phoenix.

Rising from the ashes plays a theme in here collection, she said, as are a flourish of prints.

“Fashion is a celebration, and we are seeing that people are coming out of this wanting to celebrate,” Ritz said.

Kirkland Museum is Denver treasure Collection of about 30,000 objects remains in rotation

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On the northwest corner of Bannock Street and 12th Avenue in Denver, bright yellow ceramic tiles beckon to anyone who can see them. They mark the entrance to the Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art, where the visitor will find more than 30,000 works by more than 1,500 artists who worked from 1845 to the present.

Three main collections include Kirkland’s collection of decorative arts, Kirkland’s own works and works by recent Colorado artists.

Colorado artist Vance Kirkland (1904-1981) had a studio and art school at 13th and Curtis Streets in Denver, which became a focus for many area artists to learn — and also to hang out with like-minded souls. Kirkland was also head of the Art Department at the University of Denver and instrumental in the development of contemporary arts in Denver.

In November 2016, Kirkland’s Pearl Street studio was raised and loaded on a steel framework with wheels and on a Sunday, when traffic was at its calmest, slowly moved across Denver to the present Bannock Street location, where funding by the Merle Chambers Fund settled

IF YOU GO Kirkland Museum visitors must be 13 or older, since artworks are openly displayed and fragile. Tickets are available at the door or online at kirklandmuseum. org. Open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. The museum is at 12th Avenue and Bannock Street in Denver. There is parking at the rear (west) side of the building.

Check with organizers before you go. it at a new location, attaching the studio to a long, low building where the collection could expand into special exhibitions in the center of Denver’s Golden Triangle Arts District.

The original studio is oriented as it was originally, with studio windows facing north and a large flat table holding paintings. Suspended above the table is a series of leather straps, on which Kirkland lay flat to paint, so he could reach across his large canvases. He used special mixes of paints and alcohol, pouring, dripping and painting with assorted sizes of wooden dowels in addition to brushes.

Many of Kirkland’s paintings seem to refer to constellations and include vibrant pigments.

Funding for the move was provided by the Merle Chambers Fund, the charity operated by one of Denver’s

important philanthropists, who was especially supportive of the arts, as well as her commitment to community and social justice. Museum director Hugh Grant, a close friend of Kirkland’s, was willed the majority of Kirkland’s estate after the artist died in 1981 and became executor of the estate. He and Merle Chambers were married from 1989 to 2017.

Grant was concerned that no other local museum was exhibiting Colorado’s decorative art in depth and feared those artists, including Edgar Britton (who lived and worked in Littleton) and Otto Bach, would be forgotten. More recently, works by other area artists, including rita derjue and Craig Marshall Smith, have been added to the collection, which has over 7,000 works by 700 artists — a truly unique resource for Denver.

Grant set up a Vance Kirkland Foundation and toured Kirkland’s collection to nine European countries while construction began on the addition to the studio building, which would hold display space for the unique collection. Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art opened on April 2, 2003, offering a unique addition to the already busy Golden Triangle District in Denver, just west of the Denver Art Museum.

The Kirkland Museum opened on March 10, 2018 and has 4,400 works on view at any given time, rotating the collection, which is constantly increasing. (Estimated at over 30,000 objects.) Works are displayed in vignettes that may include a chair, table, lamp, glass bowl and silverware.

A look at the website offers photos of a wide range of International decorative art, (1875 to 1990) labeled as to origin and material. Art Nouveau, Arts and Crafts Movement, Glasgow Style, Wiener Werkstatte, De Stijl, Bauhaus, Art Deco, Modern, Pop Art, Postmodern ...

Photos include a bentwood armchair by Gerald Summers (189019676); a Dutch end table by Gerrat Rietveld (1888-1964); a Bauhaus Telefon; Japanese butterfly stool by Sori Yanagi (1915-2011); a Finnish laminated platter by Tapio Wirkkala (1915-1985).

These influence design in our homes today, yet are certainly works of art!

“Folks, we’ve got to pick up the pace.”

That was President Joe Biden’s message as he spoke Sept. 14 about his plans to address climate change while creating new jobs during a visit to the National Renewable Energy Lab’s Flatirons campus, located north of the Rocky Flats Wildlife Refuge in Jefferson County.

During his roughly 15-minute speech, Biden touted the need for the federal government to establish more ambitious goals for reducing emissions and addressing climate change than were set even by the Obama administration, in which he served as vice president.

“When those (goals) were set, we had more time,” said Biden.

“We don’t have that time now.

The goals are different because the necessity is there … We don’t have much more than 10 years, for real.”

Among the new goals set by Biden is for the nation to reach

100% carbon-free power by 2035.

Biden said he also recently announced a new target for the country to reduce its carbon emissions by between 50 and 52% by 2030.

Biden said the need to take bolder, more aggressive steps to address climate change has become starkly apparent recently, with nearly one in three American communities being struck by weather disasters in the past few months.

Biden said within the two weeks before his Colorado stop, he had made visits to California, New Jersey and Louisiana, where he surveyed damage from the Caldor Fire and Hurricane Ida. Coloradans, he said, are also becoming increasingly familiar with the effects of disasters driven by climate change.

“Even if it’s not in your backyard, you feel the effects when you turn on the local weather and in addition to the temperature and precipitation you want to know what the local forecast is going to be…” he said. “You saw the vicious cycle this summer when heavy rains combined with the burn scar of the 2020 Grizzly Creek fire resulted in mudslides

Landmark Lecture: Women of the West Highlands Ranch Mansion event set for Nov. 17 STAFF REPORT

Landmark Lectures at the Highlands Ranch Mansion, 9950 E Gateway Drive, offer visitors a unique window into the past and an opportunity to learn from area experts. On Nov. 17, Brown Palace Hotel historian Debra Faulkner will share stories of the “Ladies of the Brown Palace.”

NEWELL FROM PAGE 10

of the most effective protective factors against youth suicide is the child having a relationship with at least one trusted adult.

As an example, this one supportive relationship can be a parent, family member, teacher, minister, or therapist. Having someone who can listen, give loving advice, or just intentionally sit with them occasionally can be profound in them feeling heard and being accepted just as they are. That then can lead to feeling cared about and a sense

While many people are familiar with Denver’s iconic Brown Palace Hotel, they may not know about the celebrated female visitors, residents and employees that are a part of its history. Their stories of scandal, romance, humor, and leadership offer a glimpse into the lives of women from all walks of life.

“This program should be fascinating for anyone just looking for a good story — including both the general public and women’s history buffs,” said Susie Appleby, the mansion’s historic programs and volunteer coordinator.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for selfguided tours of the Highlands Ranch Mansion. The presentation begins at 7 p.m. There will be a cash bar with beer, wine and a specialty cocktail called the Sassy Springer. The sparkling wine-based cocktail is named after Isabelle Springer, who played a prominent role in the history of both the mansion and the Brown Palace.

Tickets are on sale now for $20, which include appetizers. Learn more or purchase tickets by calling 303-791-0177.

of hope in the surrounding community.

As minor as this may sound, this one act can make a big difference in a child’s mental well-being. So, prioritizing our time with our kiddos and using empathy and listening skills can serve as a protective shield against them having thoughts of hopelessness or selfharm that can lead to suicide.

If we all took the time to act proactively by creating more loving and supportive relationships with each other, that one act could eventually be saving a life. Don’t wait till it’s too far down the line and they’re cutting themselves, abusing drugs or alcohol, or showing

signs of actual suicidal thoughts.

Let’s do what we can preventively in our own families and community before it’s too late.

If you or a loved one is having thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please reach out to your therapist or call 800-273-8255 or 911.
