The Denver City Council has passed a $1.49 billion budget proposed by Mayor Michael Hancock that he believes will help create more jobs by using both local money and federal coronavirus aid.

The budget will complement the $260 million in municipal bonds that Denver voters approved in the election that ended Nov. 2.

The council voted 11-1 Nov. 8 to pass the spending plan. Councilmember Candi CdeBaca voted against it. Council members did not discuss the plan before casting their vote.

The budget the City Council passed was essentially a replica of the one Hancock unveiled on Sept. 15. There were some tweaks, however.

According to city Department of Finance spokesperson Julie Smith, council members asked for some budget changes, and the mayor’s administration approved some of those requests. The tweaks include: • $1.5 million for the Safe Routes to School program that aims to make it easier and safer for students to get to and from school.

• $270,000 to provide city employees who experience workplace trauma access to resources.

• $250,000 in additional funding for the Denver Immigrant Legal Services Fund.

BREAD FROM PAGE 1

Sabian is a baker herself, but getting her bread products delivered helps with meal planning and the time she spends cooking. Plus, she’s able to curate her delivery to meet her family’s needs while supporting local businesses.

The service that Sabian receives her baked goods from is called Bread Club, offered through Rebel Bread.

Rebel Bread is an artisanal bakery and bread school that got its start in October 2018. Its wholesale products can be found at a variety of locallyowned coffee shops, restaurants and bars in the metro area, but many people recognize the bakery from purchasing Rebel Bread products at local farmers markets.

In March 2020, Rebel Bread launched its Bread Club as a response to the pandemic. Its success led Rebel Bread owner and founder Zach Martinucci to expand Bread Club to include other local artisan bakeries.

“There are so many unique bakeries in the city doing great work,” Martinucci said. “We want to offer people a new and convenient way to taste as many as possible, and support these small businesses once farmers market season ends.”

The other local bakeries part of Bread Club are Moon Raccoon Baking Co., Sugar Bakeshop, Pandemic Donuts and Mile High Pie Co. No two offer the same product and each have their own style of baking, Martinucci said.

“Each of their characteristics really shine through,” he added.

Aside from Rebel Bread and Sugar Bakeshop, which was established in 2008, all the bakeries part of Bread Club got their start within the past year or so — with Moon Raccoon Baking Co. and Pandemic Donuts launching their small businesses after losing their former jobs as a result of service industry layoffs and restaurant closings during the COVID-19 shutdowns in 2020.

Knowing that the majority of sales for many local bakeries come from vending at farmers markets, Martinucci wanted to offer another platform to help these newer local bakeries succeed, he said.

“We all love the baking part and getting our product out to the community,” Martinucci said. “We

Bread Club makes it easy for consumers to explore the different bakeries’ menus, which change each month. Orders are completely customizable and can be placed as a one-time order or as a subscription,

with the subscription frequency also customizable. The delivery option is available throughout the city and county of Denver, or consumers can choose the pick-up option, which is available from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Rebel Bread’s Production Lab at 675 S. Broadway in Denver’s Baker neighborhood.

The demand for locally-made baked goods is out there, said Tanner Burgard, owner of Mile High Pie Co. which he founded in February of this year. The challenge, he said, is getting it to people.

“Bread Club creates a symbiotic relationship,” Burgard said. “Small producers get to keep growing their businesses and members have access to some unbelievable talent in the Denver baking community.”

These bakeries are run by people who put their heart and soul into their baking, Burgard said.

“The more opportunities people have in a community to support each other,” Burgard said, “the better.”

the campus’ three colleges for the children of former residents.

Rael was able to apply the scholarship toward his bachelor’s degree at the University of Colorado Denver on the 170-acre campus north of Colfax Avenue and just east of the South Platte River. But when he applied again to use the scholarship toward a master’s degree, he faced an uphill battle.

“I wrote so many emails to so many higher-ups, they finally agreed,” Rael said. “But when I tried again for a doctorate, the financial aid office said, ‘Sorry, you used it all up.’”

Rael said he never found documentation saying the scholarship could only apply to certain levels of education at the school.

“It struck me as a continuation of systemic white supremacy,” he said.

“I kept pushing.”

On Nov. 4, Rael was among the crowd in front of St. Cajetan’s Church, once the cornerstone of the community in the largely Latino neighborhood where his mother grew up, to celebrate the scholarship’s expansion to all degree levels and all descendants of displaced Aurarians.

“It’s exciting,” said Rael, who plans to complete his doctorate in higher education leadership next spring. “My children will be able to use this scholarship, however far they want to go. It’s gratifying.”

The Displaced Aurarian Scholarship will be expanded to cover full

tuition for all direct descendants of those who lived in the neighborhood between 1955 and 1973, college leaders announced.

Rael helped spearhead the change by taking his concerns about the program to CU Regent Nolbert Chavez last year.

Chavez took up the cause of expanding the scholarship, and found eager buy-in from officials at CU Denver, and the two other schools that share the campus, Metropolitan State University of Denver and the Community College of Denver.

The expanded scholarships will become available starting in spring semester 2022 and will apply to all levels of education on the campus,

from associate degrees to doctorates. It’s unclear how many people are eligible to receive the expanded benefit.

“I am filled with mixed emotion today,” Chavez said. “Part of me can still see the hurt and pain of these good people who were forced to leave and had to endure unspeakable hardship.”

Once part of the ancestral homelands of the Cheyenne, Arapaho and Ute peoples, Auraria was founded in the fall of 1858 by a party of goldseekers led by William Green Russell, preceding the founding of neighboring Denver City by a few weeks before the two merged in 1860, according to the Denver

Public Library.

As the decades passed, the neighborhood became home to a largely working-class and immigrant population. By the early 20th century, it was home to a burgeoning Latino population, with life revolving around St. Cajetan’s, built in 1926.

Following a devastating flood on the South Platte River in June 1965, Denver voters approved a bond measure in 1969 to demolish the neighborhood to make way for the campus in spite of community resistance organized by Father Peter Garcia of St. Cajetan’s.

Relocations were complete by 1972, and the Auraria campus opened in 1976.

More than 300 households were forcibly displaced to make way for the campus. Property owners were paid for their homes and residents were promised free education at the future campus, but once the campus opened in 1976, Chavez said, financial aid proved spotty and many former residents were turned away.

“Students were subject to whatever policy was used at that point in time,” Chavez said. “Some were mistreated. Some were forced to jump through hoop after hoop in hopes they would give up.”

Community activists strived for years to codify the scholarship.

Santos Blan, who lived in Auraria until he was 16 and came back to teach accounting at CCD, remembered getting the brush-off when he and others approached the Colorado state legislature to solidify the scholarship in the early 1990s.

The Colorado Center for the Blind in Littleton.

PHOTO BY DAVID GILBERT

A Colorado Community Media special report online STAFF REPORT

They came to the Colorado Center for the Blind seeking confidence. They left traumatized.

Sexual abuses were kept quiet for decades at the world-renowned school for the blind in Littleton, former students and employees allege.

More than a dozen previously unreported instances of sexual misconduct and abuse spanning at least two decades at the Colorado Center for the Blind have surfaced during an internal investigation of the school’s parent organization.

Among the offenses were the alleged sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl by a summer youth camp counselor in 2001, a teacher accused of sexually harassing students in 2019 who was hired despite school leadership allegedly knowing he had faced accusations of unwanted sexual contact at another school, and a teacher who admitted he engaged in a sexual relationship with a 19-year-old student in violation of school policy.

Reporter David Gilbert has been investigating for several months. Read his report — a collaboration of Colorado Community Media and The Colorado Sun — at ColoradoCommunityMedia.com.

“Today there are administrators and leaders who made this happen,” Blan said. “We didn’t have that 30 years ago.”

Then-Colorado state Rep. Celina Benavidez introduced a bill in 1994 to create a financial aid fund to assist displaced Aurarians, but the bill died in committee. Shortly thereafter, the three colleges on the campus seeded their own funding for the former residents and their children.

Since its inception, the scholarship has paid $3.4 million in financial aid to roughly 600 students at CU Denver; $1.4 million in aid for 305 students at MSU; and more than $627,000 to 136 students at CCD. Expanding and better codifying the scholarship is an important step toward fulfilling the mandates of all three colleges, all of which are federally designated Hispanic Serving Institutions, said Antonio Farias, CU Denver’s vice chancellor of diversity, equity and inclusion.

“This scholarship is a way for us to confront our history,” Farias said. “It’s a way to build on the past without shame or anger.”

Seeing the scholarship solidified is reflective of the times, Chavez told the crowd in front of St. Cajetan’s.

“We are living in a time of seismic social change,” Chavez said. “We are helping transform colleges from places of elitism to engines of social mobility.”

Standing in front of St. Cajetan’s with her son to celebrate the scholarship’s expansion was an emotional moment for Rael’s mother, Irene. The Auraria neighborhood lives in her memory, she said.

“I still smell the tortillas and the chiles roasting,” she said.

“I hear the rosary coming from the church. Paco Sanchez on the radio. I remember dances, boys playing baseball in the street, staying outside with the other kids until after dark. I’m so proud of my son. With this scholarship, our people’s history lives on through him, and through my grandchildren.”

‘American Son’ at Curious Theatre gives glimpses of fear Play keeps the audience engaged

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Area theaters are opening again, and I happily attended an engaging live performance on the weekend of Nov. 6-7: “American Son” by Christopher DemosBrown at Curious Theatre in Denver.

“American Son,” by trial lawyer/playwright DemosBrown, played on Broadway, with Kerry Washington as the mother. It’s set in the could-be-in-any-county waiting room at the Dade County, Florida, Courthouse, with chairs for those who need to wait for their time in court, an American flag, county insignia in a frame, a clock, harsh lighting — and space to pace. The stage set’s blandness sets off the tense story well.

“It is a play that gives us a glimpse into the fears and concerns that almost every parent of a Black male child in this country faces on a regular basis, especially in interactions with police,” wrote director Jada Suzanne Dixon, who also performs

The Curious Theatre Company on Acoma Street near 11th Avenue, in 2017.

the role of Kendra Ellis-Connor, a Black mother, whose son is missing as lights go up on the Curious stage.

(He’s a mild-mannered kid who once burst into tears over “Puff the Magic Dragon,” she says.)

“There’s been an incident,” says tense young

white Officer Paul Larkin (Sean Scrutchins), in reply to her questioning. He stalls about more information, while she presses, growing increasingly frantic over her son’s whereabouts.

ing and aggressive — “He’s going to West Point, went to private schools — I won’t put up with him regressing,” Scott says. “Obviously something happened.” (We learn that Scott has walked out on mother and son recently.)

“He was driving around

with two other black males in the car,” the officer tells him — which he hadn’t told the mother.

What transpires is predictable, but the tension is with us until the end of this wellcrafted piece.

Abner Genece, forceful as Lt. John Stokes, is the fourth character, who enters the one-act late.

“American Son” keeps the audience engaged and the cast is strong. Chip Walton, Curious founder, said he and Dixon had both seen the play in New York and compared notes, agreeing that it was a good fit for Curious.

Given the skills of the cast, crew and director involved, (all member of Actors Equity) — I’d hope to see some exploration of material that was not quite so predictably “a good fit” for Curious. They have created works that stretched talents further afield in the past.

“American Son” plays through Dec. 11 at Curious Theatre Company, 1080 Acoma St., Denver, curioustheatre.org.

Outdoor space for unhoused to open at city office Site in Clayton neighborhood to replace location at Park Hill church

BY KYLE COOKE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Starting in December, city-owned property in Denver will serve as a “safe outdoor space” for unhoused people for the first time ever.

Colorado Village Collaborative (CVC) announced Nov. 9 that it is partnering with the City and

County of Denver to establish a safe outdoor space at the Denver Human Services (DHS) East Office in the city’s Clayton neighborhood.

The site will open Dec. 14 and stay open until Nov. 30, 2022.

“This site will mark the first time city property is being used for Safe Outdoor Space,” Britta Fisher, executive director of Denver’s Department of Housing Stability, said in the news release. “We are glad to help support Colorado Village Collaborative and help grow this model that has provided residents another path from our streets to stability in Denver.”

Examples of the types of tents used at Colorado Village Collaborative’s “safe outdoor spaces.”

COURTESY OF COLORADO VILLAGE COLLABORATIVE

The safe outdoor space at the DHS office will replace a site that is currently set up at Park Hill United Methodist Church. Park Hill residents who were against the safe camping site unsuccessfully sued CVC and the church.

According to CVC, “many of the 40 residents” at the Park Hill site will move to the DHS location, but the new location also has space to accept more people.

CVC says the DHS site, which is 15,000 square feet and will have 24hour staff, can house 50 residents.

“Today is a day to celebrate forward progress for the health, dignity and belonging of our unhoused neighbors,” CVC’s executive director Cole Chandler said in the release. “We’re grateful to the City and County of Denver for partnering with us to expand critical services for our unsheltered neighbors ahead of another Colorado winter.”

In addition to shelter, the DHS site will have cots, food, and assistance

for people looking for permanent housing.

In Denver, the number of people without homes has increased drastically over the past year. Moreover, the number of people experiencing homelessness for the first time doubled since 2020, according to a point-in-time survey.

In CVC’s news release, Clayton resident Jes Discoll is quoted as saying, “I know that tents aren’t the forever solution, but helping people gain some stability through a safe place to sleep each night is a huge step in the right direction.”

CVC also operates a safe outdoor space at Regis University, and was planning to open another near Denver Health the week of Nov. 15.

he resume came through first, and then an email, and finally a phone call.

The person trying to connect with me is someone whom WINNING I have known WORDS for a long time.

When they let me know that they were searching for a new opportunity and asked me if I would be willing to help, I enthusiastically Michael Norton agreed. This is a friend and former colleague whom I hold in very high regard.

As I reviewed the resume and cover letter, I was a bit taken aback as neither document spoke about the person that I have known for years. The information and accomplishments were understated to say the least.

The poor resume wasn’t what was really bothering me, it was more than that. This was someone whom I respected, loved, and appreciated. My next step was to call them and schedule a

time for an immediate video call.

I wanted to be able to see them, their eyes, face, and posture as I knew something wasn’t right.

When we began our conversation and got past the pleasantries, they asked me what I thought about their resume.

Instead of answering, I asked if I could ask a quick question first.

I asked them this, “What happened to the person I have known for the past 10 years?” They were a bit confused and a little shaken.

I said, “Look, as I read your resume and cover letter, I didn’t see anything exciting or noteworthy, there were no mentions of the three massive projects that reshaped the business trajectory of your company, nothing about the team’s achievements, and I was shocked that any reference to your thought leadership was also absent.”

They had let me know that the past 20 months had finally gotten the better of them. Early on it was losing people because they had to make cuts. Then it was being burnt out and overworked, and then it was losing people because they had better options or just didn’t want to come to an of-

fice any longer. My friend took all of this very personally. Finally, the executive team placed the blame squarely on their shoulders for the lack of people and lack of productivity. The pressure was just too much.

As my good friend and coach Tom Ziglar says, this was a perfect, “Are you kidding me?” moment. That means after I ask, “Are you kidding me?” I follow that up with questions and comments about all their past accomplishment and successes. I reminded my friend that what they had achieved was nothing short of extraordinary. So, I asked one more question, “When you look in the mirror, what do you see?”

The response included words such as tired, worried, afraid, mad, and a disappointment. I responded as if looking into the same mirror with others who knew them too. “Yes, we see someone who is like so many others out there in the world right now, we see tired, worried, and afraid. Do you know what else we see? We see someone who needs a different mirror. We see someone who needs to see what the rest of us see, eyes with reignited pas-

sion, unparalleled wisdom and knowledge, someone who loves people, intentionality of purpose, courage, and we see the most hopeful person we know, the person who stood by each of us when we were down. We see the winner in you.”

This week my friend was hired into a bigger role than they had ever had before.

The moral of this story is that each one of us has someone in our life that may be struggling right now. And maybe what they need more than anything else is to be reminded to look at themselves the way that we see them, through the lens of accomplishment, and with the eyes of renewed hope. Do you know anyone like that? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@ tramazing.com, and when we can help people to see in themselves what we all see, it really will be a better than good year.

Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

Parents grapple with vaccination question Children ages 5 to 11 join ranks of eligibility for COVID shots

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While some parents have moved forward with getting their children ages 5 to 11 vaccinated against COVID-19, others are still hesitant.

Dr. Brandi Freeman, a pediatrician for Children’s Hospital Colorado, said she has been addressing a lot of parent concerns, hesitation and anxiety as they struggle to make a decision on whether or not to get younger children vaccinated.

“The hesitancy given the environment and the world we live in today is a normal thing,” Freeman said. “As a pediatrician, I try to talk to parents and work to understand what their hesitancies are and answer the questions they have.”

The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved the Pfizer vaccination for children ages 5 to 11 in early November. After the approval, the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) followed suit, advising parents to get the vaccination for school-age children.

In the Nov. 5 press release, the CDPHE said, “Vaccines are the safest, most effective way to slow the spread of COVID-19 and help avoid the worst outcomes — severe illness, hospitalization, and death — among those who do become infected. Getting vaccinated means kids can look forward to holiday activities, participate in extracurricular activities, have fewer interruptions to in-person learning, and see family and friends without worrying as much about getting COVID-19 or having to quarantine and miss out.”

Until the recent FDA approval, only those 12 and over were eligible for the vaccination.

According to CDPHE data, 10% of the 3.9 million people vaccinated in Colorado range in age from 5 to 19.

Once her children were eligible, Centennial mom Katherine Giuffre said she was “elated” to get her two sons, ages 5 and 7, vaccinated quickly.

Giuffre said she did not have the same level of hesitation as other parents, noting it is all about safety.

“I was so excited and started looking for clinics to schedule the vaccination right away,” she said. “I had been preparing and researching for months. With them vaccinated, I feel safe in having them going to school. We are going to be able to really get out in the hworld again. We love to travel, and this is important to be able to do that.” . After the vaccinations, Guiffre said her 5-year-old complained of a sore arm, but it did not prevent him from playing tennis and going about his day. Her 7-year-old had zero side effects from the shot, Guiffre said.

NURSING? RN/LPN SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

VACCINATION QUESTIONS ANSWERED With plenty of questions and concerns around the newly expanded age limit for COVID-19 vaccinations, the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment answered some common questions.

Do children get the same type of vaccine as adults?

Children age 12 to 17 years can get the same kind of Pfizer vaccine as adults.

Children age 5 to 11 years will get a smaller dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. This vaccine is one third of the dose of the Pfizer vaccine used for teens and adults.

How well does the vaccine work for children?

Pfizer’s clinical trials showed that the vaccine for children ages 12 to 15 was 100% effective in preventing COVID-19 infection. The vaccine for children age 5 to 11 years was about 90% effective in preventing COVID-19 infection. Both vaccines were 100% effective in preventing severe disease and death.

What are the side effects of the vaccine for children?

The side effects in children are similar to the side effects experienced by adults.

They can include tiredness, headache, soreness, chills and fever. In clinical trials, children ages 5 to 11 tended to have milder side effects than teens and adults. Most side effects are mild and go away on their own after a day or two.

Will my child need two doses of the vaccine?

Yes. Be sure to schedule your child’s second dose 21 days or three weeks after the first dose.

Can my child get routine vaccines at the same time as the COVID-19 vaccine?

Yes. It is safe for your child to receive other routine vaccines on the same day as a COVID-19 vaccine. You may be able to include other routine vaccinations at the appointment, which are vital for keeping kids protected from other illnesses.

Freeman said soreness in the injected arm has been the most common side effect patients are reporting. Children may also feel ill for about 24 hours, Freeman said, noting that the side effect is normal and no cause for concern.

With a vaccination that has become politicized over the last two years, Freeman said not all parents are as excited as Guiffre. Some of the common concerns about getting the vaccinations are what the long-term effects will be, Freeman said.

Freeman said some concerns and hesitancy stem from myths being spread on social media and throughout the internet.

Freeman said a common misconception is that the COVID vaccination is brand new with little research or data. In actuality, Freeman said, the mRNA that makes up the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines was developed more than 20 years ago and shelved.

Like a pair of shoes that some-

one loves but does not have a special occasion or an outfit to match, Freeman said a person may buy them and shelve them until the right time.

“The vaccination is similar,” Freeman said. “The technology was developed and held until we needed it. The vaccine is safe and can help get us back to what we consider normal life.”

Another common myth that has had no actual scientific data to back it up is that the vaccine will cause fertility issues, Freeman said.

The side effects that are common, Freeman said, are no different from other shots.

“Millions of people have received these vaccines without a problem,” she said. “With that, it is important to prepare your child. It is a needle and there is some pain associated with that. Coach them before the shot to settle the anxiety SEE VACCINATION, P15

ACCESSING COLORADO How different resources are making the outdoors accessible to people with disabilities

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

hen looking to get outside and make memories with friends and family, disability should not be something that limits someone experiencing the outdoors.

Check out examples of accessibility in Colorado that make the outdoors available for people with disabilities.

Getting there When trying to choose an activity, navigating parks and outdoor spaces can be overwhelming for people with disabilities. From knowing where accessible trailheads are, to knowing where to park, there can be uncertainties in getting started. Ashley Lyn Olson, who started the website wheelchairtraveling.com, aims to make that experience easier.

Growing up as someone who loved hiking and camping, Olson did not let her paralysis at 14 stop her from experiencing the outdoors.

“I started the website in 2006.

The mission is to empower people with limited mobility, their friends and loved ones. “ Her international site features city and park guides, hotel reviews, plane tips, tour companies and adaptive activities. She has the voices of more than 300 writers on the site.

Her goal? Share her travel experience, and let others share theirs, all in hopes that it makes traveling to that location easier for the next person.

Olson doesn’t always follow the “accessible” path though. Checking out things on her own, she has tried many trails that do not boast accessibility, but she thought looked flat enough for her chair.

This way she opens up more options for people in the future who check out her site.

Not every path she tries ends up being chair-friendly.

“I’ve definitely got myself into jams,” she said. Olson explained how she has ended up with her wheels stuck, falling out of her chair, even losing a shoe. But her love of adventure propels her forward.

Local opportunity Staunton State Park near Pine

started its track chair program in 2017, which allows people with limited mobility the freedom to explore trails of the park. Track chairs are all-terrain wheelchairs.

The program currently has four chairs, with another one on the way, and recently gave one to Barr Lake State Park near Brighton.

Track chair program manager Natalie Burnside-Bostow says this chair hand-off was an important step in the program’s mission of accessibility.

“One of our biggest goals is to continue to see our program spread to other parts (of Colorado), and to see other parts of Colorado build these types of programs,” Burnside-Bostow said.

The program at Staunton sees people of all ages and all ability levels.

“We get everything. Last weekend I had a 2-year-old, the week before that I had someone that it was their 91st birthday,” BurnsideBostow said.

Most importantly, the program looks to break down barriers that many people with disabilities face in accessing the outdoors.

In working with this program, Burnside-Bostow explains that while there may be perceived roadblocks, “No matter what the activity, there is a way to adapt the activity so everyone can participate.”

The National Sports Center for the Disabled is an organization

based in Denver that offers outdoor experiences across Colorado for people with disabilities.

During their fall/winter season, the NSCD offers rock climbing, hiking/snowshoeing, adaptive alpine and cross-country skiing, shooting sports and more.

Kim Easton, the CEO for the NSCD, says that the programs the organization offers keeps people coming back.

“The majority of our individuals, once they find us and try something…..they kind of get hooked.”

The NSCD is powered by volunteers that share their passion for sports and outdoors. The organization is coming up on its 52nd year of operation.

Moving forward The Outdoor Equity Grant Program, established by Colorado House Bill 21-1318, wants to “increase access and opportunity for underserved youth and their families to experience Colorado’s open spaces, state parks, public lands, and other outdoor areas,” according to the program’s website.

This program could prove instrumental in helping disabled youths be able to experience the outdoors in Colorado.

Kenny Maestas is the legislative coordinator for the Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition. He has been working on the grant program with representatives and senators from Colorado, making

sure the CCDC is heard.

The grant coalition is made up of board members, including youth seats. Maestas said he sees the importance of young people being able to have access to the outdoors in a geographically diverse state.

“And to live in one of the most beautiful states and never get to experience anything is a crime, I think,” Maestas said.

Ozone worsens along Front Range; answers elusive ‘Other areas don’t violate standards like we do’

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

The worst ozone year in recent history on the northern Front Range boosted pollutant violations in a rolling three-year average closely watched by the EPA, state officials said Oct. 21, though they did not offer bold new programs to combat the hazardous substance.

Twelve monitoring sites on the Front Range now have a three-year average over the EPA’s most recent 70-parts-per-billion cap for ozone, and five sites violate even the EPA’s previous looser standard of 75 parts per billion, according to annual reports made Oct. 21 to the Air Quality Control Commission by state and regional pollution officials.

Widespread Western wildfires and the smoke they shed into Colorado contributed to the ozone worsening in the northern Front Range area already in non-attainment of EPA limits, the officials said.

But they also acknowledged that the hot dry summer of 2021, which will be repeated in the future as climate change affects the West, made for terrible ozone conditions — with or without the smoke.

“Other areas don’t violate the standards like we do,” said Mike Silverstein, director of the Regional Air Quality Council, which tracks pollution and recommends policy changes to help the Front Range meet EPA limits. “So that shows that local vehicle emissions are really what kicks us over the threshold of the standards, not what’s given to us from outside.”

The state Air Quality Control Division staff, which reports to the commission, confirmed that the northern Front Range is likely to be declared in “severe” violation of EPA ozone limits in early 2022, after lingering in the “serious” violation category.

Changing the classification triggers more demands on the RAQC and state officials to clamp down on vehicle emissions and volatile chemicals from oil and gas operations that contribute to ozone.

Colorado continues to show progress in other key areas of EPA concern, including nitrogen oxide and volatile organic compounds that are precursors of ozone, the presentations showed. But ozone is in violation and getting worse, with many Front Range monitors registering levels higher than 80 parts per billion over the summer.

Some AQCC commissioners pressed staff and RAQC officials making the annual reports on what new measures will be taken soon to bring ozone down.

“We must own the reality that what we’re doing is simply not enough,” Commissioner Elise Jones said after the meeting. “We are failing on air quality. It’s time for us to pursue bolder solutions than we’ve considered before — like making transit free, and not allowing oil and gas fracking during the ozone season.”

The EPA looks at three-year averages when deciding if a metro area is “out of attainment” for its air pollution standards, and Colorado’s ozone problem is getting worse, state monitors show, in a report presented Oct. 21. The current EPA target for ozone is 70 parts per billion.

SCREENSHOT FROM COLORADO AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DIVISION PRESENTATION

Air quality officials are scheduled to make more rules cutting emissions from oil and gas production in December, and that has proven one of the most effective strategies so far, Silverstein said.

RTD has also begun talking about seeking federal funding for free transit on ozone alert days, which would cost millions in foregone ticket revenue, he added.

Silverstein said RAQC and others will be looking at reducing vehicle miles traveled, a key measure in trying to cut ozone pollution, by working with large warehouse centers, shopping malls or other concentrated locations for vehicle trips.

Front Range air pollution monitors can separate out pollution sources and identify which category is most promising for reducing ozone — travel by cars and light trucks is the top pollution contributor for almost every monitor, the Oct. 21 presentations showed.

Changing automobile use for employers or employees, though, has proven one of the most fraught avenues in metro Denver’s pollution control efforts. Air Pollution Control Division staff over the summer proposed requiring large employers to cut the number of commuting or work miles driven by staff, but quickly withdrew the Employee Trip Reduction Program on opposition from business and industry groups.

Silverstein noted that rebates to people who replace gas-powered lawn mowing equipment with clean electric models has also helped make a dent in afternoon ozone.

Commissioner Jana Milford noted that California has just moved to end the sale of oil and gas-powered lawn equipment altogether, and wondered if Colorado should follow that lead.

Reaction from environment advocates after the meeting appeared to be, “all of the above, and more.”

V. Sean Mitchell, Colorado spokesperson for the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments, said the state’s ongoing pollution problems

became more critical with COVID19, and studies showing the virus does deeper damage in areas made vulnerable by high pollution.

“The air quality this summer was atrocious,” Mitchell said, in an emailed statement. “Now is the time for Colorado to not shift the blame to other states, but again take the lead, with bold actions to provide clean,

healthy air.”

BUDGET FROM PAGE 1

• $189,000 for an attorney in the City Attorney’s Office who specializes in affordable housing.

At least 75% of the city’s budget goes toward paying employee salaries, which leaves “a relatively small amount of wiggle room,” Smith said.

The plan includes a projected $9.5 million in additional revenue by increasing parking meter rates from $1 an hour to $2 an hour starting on Jan. 1, 2022. Department of Transportation and Infrastructure spokesperson Nancy Khun outlined how the money will be used: • $3.7 million to pay for Denver Moves transit component, supporting transit projects around the city and in partnership with RTD, including constructing a high frequency network.

• $1.8 million to pay for Denver Moves bicycle component, including working on building bikeways in the city.

• $1.8 million to pay for constructing and repairing sidewalks throughout the city, focusing on spaces near public and educational facilities and transit.

• $1.8 million to pay for Vision Zero initiatives, including paying for improvements at high-crash intersections, road crossing safety treatments, and signal modifications.

• $300,000 to pay for two full-time employees: an inspector and a project manager related to sidewalk repairs.

they may have.”

Guiffre said she started preparing both her boys several weeks before the vaccination date. With communication and talking about what to expect, Guiffre said, there were no tears.

Freeman said in advising parents about the vaccination, she is honest that the long-term effects of getting COVID are a lot more worrisome than the short-term impacts of a vaccination.

While each childhood COVID case is different, Freeman said with every diagnosis in children there is a concern it will turn into MIS-C. MIS-C, or multisystem inflammatory syndrome, is a serious condition associated with COVID-19 where different body parts can become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes or gastrointestinal organs.

Over the summer, Dr. Anne Jobman, of UCHealth Primary Care, said the problem with MIS-C is

that it can present with a variety of symptoms and show up weeks after a child is exposed to COVID. Symptoms of MIS-C can include abnormal gut pain, bloodshot eyes, chest tightness/pain, diarrhea, feeling extra tired, headache, low blood pressure and neck pain.

Freeman said she has advised families that the risks associated with the vaccine are less risky than getting COVID. Besides protecting the child against COVID, Freeman said, a vaccination will also protect other people.

“A vaccinated child will not infect other people,” Freeman said. “It will protect their grandparents, people who are immune compromised and the community as a whole.”

As the number of vaccinations among the state’s children increases, clinics have been set up in various counties and select pharmacies, such as Walgreens, have made the shot available to young patients.

Film on the Rocks is back Red Rocks film series prepares for another season with 13 holiday drive-in shows STAFF REPORT

Film on the Rocks, the long-running series at Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre giving film buffs a reason to head for the foothills, is preparing to kick off its 22nd season.

This year, a classic lineup of holiday favorites will be screened at the iconic venue Fridays through Sundays from Nov. 26 to Dec. 12.

From fun films for the whole family like “The Polar Express,” “Home Alone” and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” to decidedly more grown-up fare like “Die Hard” and

“Love, Actually,” Film on the Rocks — Holiday Drive-In, has something for everyone.

The Holiday Drive-In films will be shown in the Lower South parking lot at Red Rocks. Movie-goers will be able to watch from the warmth and comfort of their own cars. The films will be shown on an LED screen, with audio accessible via an FM radio frequency.

No RVs, buses or trailers will be allowed entrance, and high-profile vehicles will be asked to park in specific areas so they won’t interfere with sight lines of lower-profile vehicles.

Tickets can be purchased for $59.50 per car (regardless of the number of occupants), which gets you entrance, a soft drink, popcorn and candy.

Visit www.redrocksonline.com/ film to view the full schedule and purchase tickets.
