Capitol Hill United Neighborhoods, a registered neighborhood organization that serves the greater Capitol Hill area, presented its annual S.E.E.D. awards on
Jan. 6 with a virtual presentation. This is the third year for the S.E.E.D. Awards Program, which exists to help organizations meet immediate funding needs for smaller projects that encourage civic entrepreneurship and/or promote neighborhood engagement. To be awarded S.E.E.D. funding, a project must enhance the greater Capitol Hill community and align with CHUN’s mission and values. S.E.E.D. is an acronym for Smart development, Enrichment, Environmental sustainability, and Diversity in the community. Since the program’s incep-
tion, more than $20,000 has been directed to the community — this year’s amount being $8,000.
“The S.E.E.D. awards are an opportunity for our organization to fuel creativity through local solutions and communitybased impact investments,” said Travis Leiker, CHUN’s president and executive director, in a news release. “As Denverites continue to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic and uncertainty on myriad fronts, this initiative is an opportunity for us to make a positive impact. This is how Denverites can come together and make meaningful change.”

Denver Woman’s Press Club digs for buried writing talent
BY KIRSTEN DAHL COLLINS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
Winning the Unknown Writers’ Contest sent aerospace engineer
Petra Perkins’ career on a new trajectory.
“It opened up a new world of possibilities,” said Perkins, who lives in Highlands Ranch and is now a professional writer specializing in memoir.
The competition, which is sponsored by the Denver Woman’s Press Club (DWPC), also helped Denver author Corinne Joy Brown launch her career as a novelist.
“I felt as if I had been recognized by women I respected and idolized,” she said. “Looking back, it was a life-changing experience.”
After a pandemic hiatus, the DWPC is again soliciting entries with a deadline of Feb. 23. All residents of Colorado, aged 18 and older, may enter as long as they have never been professionally published.
Founded in 1898, the DWPC is one of the nation’s oldest clubs for
female journalists. While the Unknown Writers’ Contest doesn’t go back quite that far, the competition has been pulling unknown writers out of obscurity for decades.
“It is one of my favorite sources of surprise,” said Katherine “Kim” Millett, who serves as the contest’s chairwoman and is a nationallypublished journalist and retired editor with The Denver Post. “It reaches out into the unknown, all over Colorado.”
Said DWPC President, Mindy Sink, a freelance non-fiction writer, “we’re really interested in people’s stories whether they’re pandemicrelated or not. It’s a wonderful time for our group to be sharing with the world again.”
Winners celebrate over a proper English tea
Entrants can write their way to first, second and third prizes in three categories: Short Fiction, Non-Fiction and Poetry. The contest winners will be invited to read their

Could liquor stores be a solution to state’s food deserts?
Senate Bill 33 would change limits on liquor stores selling food products
BY JESSE PAUL COLORADO SUN
If there’s one thing Colorado has a lot of, it’s liquor stores.
There are more than 1,500 of them in the state.
And state Sen. Kevin Priola sees them as a way to help eliminate a stubborn problem plaguing both Colorado’s inner-city neighborhoods and rural parts of the state: food deserts, areas where people have limited or no access to nutritious food.
“There are lots of inner-city parts of the state, as well as rural parts of the state, where there is no grocery store for miles and miles,” the Republican lawmaker from Henderson said. “But liquor stores are everywhere.”
Priola has teamed up with state Rep. Lisa Cutter, a Morrison Democrat, to introduce Senate Bill 33 at the Colorado Capitol this year, which would exempt fruit, vegetables, nuts and meat – as long as they’re not in a “substantially” processed form – from a state mandate that says non-alcohol products can’t exceed 20% of a liquor store’s sales.
‘There are lots of inner-city parts of the state, as well as rural parts of the state, where there is no grocery store for miles and miles.’
Kevin Priola, state senator
The objective is simple: give liquor stores the option to become
a place where their patrons can pick up both brandy and broccoli, whiskey and watermelon, and scotch and salmon.
“It doesn’t require them to do
it,” Priola said. “It just says they may do it.”
What exactly constitutes a food desert isn’t agreed upon. One definition is an urban area where
someone can’t walk to a store that offers fresh food within 10 minutes, or a rural area where fresh food is more than 10 miles away.
In Denver, the Elyria-Swansea and College View neighborhoods have been identified as food deserts. Large swaths of the San Luis Valley and Baca, Bent, Prowers and Yuma counties have also been called food deserts. Both are areas that have liquor stores. Liquor stores don’t think the legislation is a shot worth taking

DESERTS
– at least not right now – and that may doom the measure.
They argue the bill could upset a complicated 2016 agreement they made with grocery stores –called “the grand compromise” –that dramatically changed where full-strength beer can be sold in Colorado. And fresh food isn’t an area where they see a potential for profit.
“This is just the wrong answer,” said Chris Fine, the executive director of the Colorado Licensed Beverage Association, which opposes the measure. “The reason that liquor stores don’t sell those products is because it doesn’t work with our business model. They don’t have the storage to store these things. It’s just impractical.”
Fine also points out that liquor stores are prohibited from accepting food stamps. Finally, he worries that the bill would only serve to benefit a few liquor
stores, and that it might create more competition for his members by encouraging butchers and specialty grocery stores to get a liquor license.
The bottom line, Fine says, is that liquor stores are not the silver bullet Priola may be looking for.
Sen. Robert Rodriguez, a Denver Democrat who is chair of the Senate Business, Labor and Technology Committee, where Senate Bill 33 was assigned, did not respond to a request for comment on the bill. But the vice chair of the committee, Sen. James Coleman, another Denver Democrat, worries the legislation may not be the right approach.
“I’m not opposed to the bill, but I don’t think it solves the problem,” he said. “I think the real solution is to build some healthy options.”
The Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of Colorado and Colorado Petroleum Marketers Association, which represents convenience stores, are so far taking a neutral stance on the measure, state lobbying disclosures show.
Priola said he has spoken with Healthier Colorado, Children’s Hospital Colorado, the Colorado Blueprint to End Hunger, Hunger Free Colorado and Nourish Colorado about Senate Bill 33, but there are no lobbyists for advocacy groups that work on food deserts or related issues signed up to support or oppose the measure. That may be a sign that Senate Bill 33 isn’t something they feel strongly about.
Representatives for Healthier Colorado, Hunger Free Colorado and Nourish Colorado either didn’t respond to requests for comment Monday or declined to comment.
“I’m kind of surprised there is a lot of opposition,” said Cutter, the Democratic sponsor of the measure. “I signed onto it because it’s a creative approach.”

Priola said the alcohol industry
naysayers are people who don’t want to upset the “apple cart of a deal that was cut six years ago.” And he fully recognizes that it’s unlikely that all of the state’s liquor stores would take advantage of the policy change if it somehow clears the big hurdles ahead of it.
“But they would at least have the opportunity to serve their community,” he said.
He thinks Denver’s Montbello neighborhood, which several years ago was labeled a food desert, is a perfect example of where his bill could be useful. There are just one or two grocery stores but several liquor stores.
“I think at the bare minimum it’ll be, pun intended, a healthy conversation,” Priola said.

Doctors speculate on what flu season will look like
Omicron hinders data-gathering process for influenza
BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
With talk of COVID around the clock, winter is still a time for other illness and viruses, including influenza, which has reemerged this year after being nearly non-existent in 2020-2021.
Doctors across the Front Range said hospitals and clinics started seeing the flu pop up in October and November. Flu season generally lasts through mid-April, leaving doctors along the Denver metro area to say they are not quite sure what to expect as flu season moves into full swing.
At Children’s Hospital Colorado, Dr. Suchitra Rao, a pediatric infectious disease specialist, said they started treating young patients with the flu dating back to October. Rao said the number of cases doctors are seeing at various Children’s Hospital clinics in Douglas, Jefferson and Arapahoe counties are on par with what the levels used to be pre-pandemic.
As of Jan. 27, Rao said Children’s Hospital has had 400 confirmed influenza cases, with 100 of them needing hospitalization.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, while states like Texas and New Mexico have “very high” numbers of flu
cases, Colorado is still in the “minimal” stage, meaning not many cases are currently being recorded.
Rao said flu cases started dropping again when the omicron variant of COVID-19 sparked up. As cases of omicron increased, for some reason, flu cases again decreased, she said.
When asked what would cause the change, Rao said doctors are looking at a variety of reasons.
“The reasons why are not clear,” Rao said. “Could be people started wearing more masks with more restrictive policies in place. There are some other theories too.”
Rao said one theory that cannot yet be confirmed is that omicron ran “viral interference” to influenza.
“The theory is that one respiratory virus takes over and others go away,” she said.
Dr. Eric Hill, a HealthOne emergency room physician at the Medical Center of Aurora, said the HealthOne
network saw cases drop off as omicron came into view. However, Hill said some of that might be because hospitals are stressed and testing for COVID is a priority, which means labs were testing less for the influenza.
“The need of resource to battle omicron skyrocketed, putting a massive drain on the testing labs,” he said. “Unless it was a must-have, the flu tests were not done. COVID really has drained the system.”
Dr. Ben Usatch, an emergency medicine physician and medical director for UCHealth Hospital Highlands Ranch, said he would argue without proof that omicron was just so much more contagious that it spread throughout the region much faster and with more force than influenza can.
Like Children’s Hospital, Hill said that before omicron, adult flu cases were comparative to the days before the COVID pandemic. However, now, doctors are not sure what to expect for the remainder of the flu season, Hill said.
“With the expectation that omicron cases are going to start to drop, whether that means influenza has a chance to grab hold again — we don’t know,” Hill said.
Usatch said after a nonexistent flu season last year, it’s hard to even consider what to expect in the coming months.
To truly protect the community, Usatch said, getting the flu vaccine and COVID vaccine should be a priority.
“Getting these shots not only protects you, but it provides protection to your family and the community,” he said. “A virus is a virus. Some flus
are more concerning than others because of the pneumonia factor. The flu season is still young and getting protected is important.”
Rao and Hill said it is not too late to get the flu shot this season, adding that it is better late than never.
Doctors say flu and COVID symptoms are similar. Anyone with symptoms, Rao said, should first be tested for COVID. After that, other diagnosis options can be explored.
Hill said a big difference between COVID and the flu is the high fever. COVID presents with a lower-level fever, while the flu causes much higher temperatures, he said.
While the flu can primarily be treated with fluid and over-the-counter medications, Usatch said anyone struggling to breathe should get to a doctor immediately.
SYMPTOMS OF THE FLU VS. COVID
Flu symptoms
Flu is di erent from a cold. Flu usually comes on suddenly. People who have flu often feel some or all of these symptoms:
• Fever or feeling feverish/chills
• Cough
• Sore throat
• Runny or stu y nose
• Muscle or body aches
• Headaches
• Fatigue (tiredness)
• Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults.
COVID symptoms
People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported — ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. Anyone can have mild to severe symptoms. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19:
• Fever or chills
• Cough
• Shortness of breath or di culty breathing
• Fatigue
• Muscle or body aches
• Headache
• New loss of taste or smell
• Sore throat
• Congestion or runny nose
• Nausea or vomiting
• Diarrhea
While symptoms of the flu are similar to COVID, the flu can cause high temperatures and more body aches.

STAFF REPORT
The Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment would like to remind all Colorado homeowners to test their homes for radon.
Low-cost radon test kits for $15 are available through the CDPHE
Radon tests still available
year-round. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that has no color, odor or taste. It can enter homes and other buildings through small openings such as cracks in foundations, openings around pumps and drains, and crawl spaces.
According to a news release,
“radon is the leading cause of lung cancer deaths among nonsmokers in America and claims the lives of about 21,000 Americans each year. In Colorado, nearly half of homes have high radon levels, and more than 500 lung cancer deaths in the state each year are attributed to radon.”
In addition to regular testing, the CDPHE recommends that homeowners who have mitigation systems should retest their homes every few years to make sure the system is working properly. To learn more about radon and the low-cost test kits, visit coloradoradon.info.
Dumb Friends League receives ASPCA grant
STAFF REPORT
The Dumb Friends League Veterinary Hospital at CSU Spur has been awarded a $750,000 grant from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).
The Dumb Friends League Veterinary Hospital at CSU Spur opened to the public on Feb. 1 in Denver’s Globeville-Elyria-Swansea neigh-
borhood. It is a funder-and donorsubsidized clinic.
The Dumb Friends League has been offering funder-and donor-subsidized urgent veterinary care and spay/neuter surgeries for owned and feral cats at its Veterinary Hospital at Yuma, 191 Yuma St. in the Valverde neighborhood, since 2018. These services will be expanded to the new Spur location.
The Spur location will also serve
as an educational tool for students and the public, offering field placements for CSU veterinary students to gain hands-on experience, learning programs for the public and exposure to veterinary and STEMrelated careers for young people.
“Providing accessible and affordable veterinary services for pets whose owners face financial challenges is critical to keeping those pets healthy and safe at home with
their families,” said Matt Bershadker, ASPCA president and CEO, in a news release. “The Dumb Friends League has been a leader in this work, and we are proud to support their responsive veterinary care and innovative veterinary education programs, both of which will help thousands of Denver-area pets now and in the future.”

For every minute of anger, you give up 60 seconds of peace of mind.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
The title of this column comes from an old proverb. And it seemed such an appropriate reminder for the current state of the world we are living in today, that I wanted to share it with you. I also wanted to share something else with you. I believe in the awesome power of hope. I believe that there is more goodness in the world than bad. And I believe there are more people doing good things than bad people doing bad things. And I believe that there are far more kind and gentle people in the world than there are angry people.
Yet what seems to make the news and fi nd its way to our social media feed and stories are the angry, violent, and hateful events that are taking place. So, it could easily make us all wonder if what I said I believe in, in the paragraph above, is true. I was fascinated by an article I read last week about a young woman who decided to go back to a phone that can only make and receive calls and send and receive text messages. Her reasons resonated with me and mirrored some of what I wrote about in a previous column last month. The need to stop scrolling and being so preoccupied with what’s happening on our phones and being more involved with the people right in front of us.

WINNING WORDS
Although I agree with her reasons about being more present in the moment and involved in life, I also think that we are being fed so much negative information that we can’t help but fall into the trap of becoming angry, lashing out at others and saying things we normally wouldn’t say. Or we spend hours being angry and depriving ourselves of hours of fi nding peace of mind.
I started using this made-up word to describe what I see as the problem, attackusation. When I do watch the news or read online stories it is no longer about someone just attacking someone else physically or verbally, they feel compelled to attack their opinion, decision, or action and then go after them on a personal level making accusations that are most often false. And they aren’t satisfi ed with attacking or accusing just that person, they attack and accuse their family and friends.
Is this really what has become of our society? Let’s go back to what I said earlier that there is more goodness in the world than bad. Andrew Carnegie said, “You expect to move tons of dirt to fi nd an ounce of gold, but you don’t go into the mine looking for the dirt, you go in looking for

the gold.” If we want to fi nd the bad, we can fi nd it for sure. The question is do we want to? And if we do, why? I mean some people go around looking for the bad like there is some kind of prize or reward for fi nding the bad.
None of us has all the answers, but I do know that I can pass along a few simple suggestions. First, turn off the sources where we are being fed the negative fuel that drives our anger. Second, focus on the good, the goodness, and the good people that are all around us. And lastly, change our vocabulary to avoid words of anger and hate to words of love, gentleness, kindness, compassion, and forgiveness. Will these three little suggestions work? They will work if you apply them. How about you? Is it time to change your input so you can change your output? Are you searching for the bad or are you looking for the good? And is it time to change your vocabulary and focus on words of hope and encouragement? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we can turn away the wrath and anger for the good and kind, it really will be a better than good year.

work aloud at an April 10 awards ceremony held at DWPC’s historic clubhouse, 1325 Logan St., in Capitol Hill.
Contest winners often bring their families to the ceremony, something both Millett and Sink find especially touching.
“It’s wonderful to see adult children cheering for their parents,” Millett said.
After the readings, members and honorees adjourn for a proper English tea. According to Millett, this tradition began years ago with an English club member who provided an authentic tea service with delicate porcelain tea cups and homemade scones.
The tea is served under the approving gaze of Mary Elitch Long, whose formal portrait graces the club’s main meeting room. A turn-of-the century entrepreneur and society hostess, Long was also an enthusiastic booster of DWPC. Before the club acquired its permanent quarters in 1912, she hosted many gatherings at her picturesque cottage on the grounds of Elitch Gardens, the amusement park and zoo she co-founded with her husband, John Elitch. Elitch Gardens originally occupied 16 acres of farmland in northwestern Denver.
Coaching instead of criticizing Who enters the Unknown Writers’ Contest? According to Millett, entries arrive from towns large and small, throughout Colorado. Some contestants write while struggling with poverty or homelessness, including people served by Denver’s nonprofit daytime drop-in center, The Gathering Place, where DWPC members have led writing workshops. The center, located at 1535 High St. in the City Park West neighborhood, provides supportive services to women, children and people who are transgender. Millett noted with pride that some writers from The Gathering Place have gone on to win awards, join DWPC and become published authors.
Whether they win awards or not, all entries receive constructive written feedback from two professional writers who are members of DWPC.
This was especially important to former contest winner Corinne Joy Brown.
“There are very few places where you get peer-reviewed recognition,” she said.
According to Millett, DWPC judges undergo special training to ensure that contestants get supportive coaching — rather than criticism.
“As judges, we are not teachers or editors, we are there as sensitive readers,” she said. “Our mission is to encourage.”
Club dates back to Woman’s Su rage era
Not to be confused with the Denver Press Club, originally intended for men, the Denver Woman’s Press Club was founded as a haven for female journalists in a repressive era of bustles and poke bonnets.
“It was these women’s equivalent of going out for a beer,” said Millett. “They used the club as a way to let loose and have fun with their writing.”
The club was born amidst the woman’s suffrage movement, when leading female journalists such as Minnie J. Reynolds, the society columnist for the Rocky Mountain News, urged male editors throughout Colorado to write editorials in favor of granting women the right to vote. Those efforts paid off when 70% of state newspapers complied. Her efforts helped women gain full voting rights in 1893, making Colorado the first state to enfranchise women through popular referendum.
A striking poster in the club’s foyer depicts Reynolds elegantly attired and seated at her typewriter. She went on to become a national advocate for women’s suffrage and DWPC’s first president. Many
prominent women joined, including Helen Ring Robinson, Colorado’s first woman state senator and Mary Coyle Chase, who won the Pulitzer Prize for her 1944 Broadway play, “Harvey.”
Today, the club occupies a landmarked building that was once the former home and studio of professional artist George Elbert Burr. Burr was known for his etchings of Colorado and they are on display in the main room, near the portrait of benefactor Mary Elitch Long. Bookshelves are lined with
club members.

Metro tea time puts Colorado spin on an English classic
BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Afternoon Tea was introduced in 1840 by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, to get her through the long period between lunch and dinner, not served in her abode until 8 p.m., according to Historic-UK.com.
That being the case, you might have surmised that Afternoon Tea consists of more than just a hot beverage. It always comes with scrummy nosh as well. You may find scones with clotted cream and freshly made jams, a tasty selection of sweet and savory pastries and finger sandwiches. And of course, there’s British-style biscuits to set you right.
You don’t have to be in England to enjoy Afternoon Tea. There are several places in the Queen City of the Plains (and surrounding areas) where you can have the experience. Kathy Curry, visiting from Georgia with her two young daughters, said one of the things they looked most forward to this year was Afternoon Tea at the Brown.
“It’s magical,” Curry said. “It makes the girls feel like they’re princesses. And I love it too.”
Morgan Bobo handles press requests for the Brown. She said Afternoon Tea has been served at the Brown Palace since 1986.
“It’s presently hosted in the historic and stunning Atrium Lobby. Guests can enjoy a variety of teas topped with Devonshire cream shipped directly from England while listening to the soft sounds of the grand piano float through the lobby and natural light streaming through the stained-glass ceiling,” she said. “The rich history isn’t the only thing that makes the experience unique, as all of the honey utilized for tea service comes directly from the property’s rooftop bee colonies and can be purchased on property to take home.”
The Brown Palace does have perhaps the most storied Afternoon Tea in the metro area. But recent years have seen plenty of competition spring up from Castle Rock to Louisville and all spots in-between, keeping this decidedly British tradition alive and well in Colorado.
“It’s about the experience,” said Michael Herrera, proud Denver dad. “My daughter loved being able to get dressed up to go to Tea.”
Elaine Bryant and her husband, Joel, a trained chef, are the owners of The Lumber Baron, a historic Bed
and Breakfast in the Potter Highlands neighborhood. Bryant says they started offering Afternoon Tea about six months after opening the Inn because it seemed like such a natural fit. The Victorian mansion is the perfect setting for their traditional English tea service featuring a variety of fancy finger sandwiches, scones, crumpets and fresh cookies.
Bryant says she honed the customer service skills it takes to run a B&B serving up a different hot beverage — coffee — for Starbucks, where she worked for 13 years before becoming an Inn Keeper.
Speaking of kids, Bryant said they’re more than welcome and get the same white tablecloth and antique china treatment as anyone else.
“We love having children come to the High Tea,” she said. “And they love coming, The little girls, especially. They just know that it’s something special.”
If you haven’t taken Afternoon Tea before, here’s a primer: Tea comes by the pot, with different loose-leaf varieties to choose from, while the treats are always served family style, but on much fancier platters than your average chicken nachos. Price covers both tea and food per person. So, no need to fuss. Just make a reservation, show up and as they say across the pond, “Bob’s your uncle.”
