Ron Miles, beloved fixture of Denver jazz scene, dead at 58

Girls compete in oratory contest

BY KYLE COOKE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Ron Miles, a jazz trumpeter and legend of the Denver music scene, passed away March 8. He was 58 years old.

Miles died from polycythemia vera, a rare blood disorder.

Following the news of his death, tributes to Miles, whose discography includes a dozen albums, flooded social media. Many people recalled taking his classes at Metropolitan State University of Denver, where he taught for more than 30 years.

“Very sad news to hear about the passing of one of my former teachers and great and brilliant trumpeter Ron Miles,” wrote Kenneth Brown, a jazz musician based in Tennessee. “I learned a lot playing in his big band at metro state university. R.I.P. Ron Miles.”

City Cast Denver podcast host Bree Davies, another student of Miles’, described him as a “really cool guy, great teacher, incredible musician.”

Brooklyn-based musician and educator Eric Dalio said for him, Miles redefined what music could be. “He

They would struggle to carry luggage and don’t want to leave their cats behind.

Dnipro has not yet suffered from the harshest attacks by Russia.

“Healing the World with Optimism” was the topic stated for five young women from the area who competed in the 2022 edition of the Annual Oratorical Contest, sponsored by the Littleton Optimist Club.

The club awards $500 to its winner, a start on a college scholarship. That person goes on to compete at state level — and perhaps, district and national.

Finally, a World Championship winner is announced, with enough scholarship money to head to college for a degree.

This year, the contest was held via Zoom, instead of in Bemis Library’s lower-level meeting room, which meant that the buzz of excitement felt in a crowd of students, families and teachers was missing, but the five young women who competed were energetic and composed.

Contestants were: Rose Webster, 17, from George Washington High School in Denver, first place; Athena Vimal, 15, Mountain Vista High School, Highlands Ranch, second place; Lynae Lambert, 16, Arapahoe High School, Centennial, third place; Hailey Hatch, 13, Mountain Ridge Middle School, Highlands Ranch, fourth place; and Sloane Siegal, 12, Newton Middle School, Littleton, fifth place.

Ukrainians in Colorado try to make sense of conflict from afar Even as the world condemns Russia’s invasion, Ukrainians are feeling helpless

BY TATIANA FLOWERS THE COLORADO SUN

Tetiana Doiun was watching movies with her husband at home in Highlands Ranch when Russia’s president began an invasion in

Ukraine last month.

Without skipping a beat, Doiun called her elderly mother and aunt, who live together in Dnipro, a city in central Ukraine. When her mother finally answered the phone, it was about 6 a.m. there and she was

However, on March 6, Ukraine’s top security official said the Russian army is planning to encircle the city, as it works to cut off access to the southern Black and Azov seas and capture the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, about 300 miles from Dnipro.

Each night before going to sleep, Doiun calls her mother and aunt to ensure they’re still alive. “It feels like the worst days of my life,” she said. “I feel ashamed, honestly, to complain because I can’t imagine how my loved ones and everyone else in Ukraine feels.”

Pockets of reprieve Since Feb. 24, Russian forces have attacked Ukraine from the north, east and south, with focus on cities like Kyiv, Kharkiv and the port city Mariupol. As the world condemns Russian President Vladimir Putin for starting the war, and as officials continue imposing hefty sanctions on Russian businesses and oligarchs, Putin is doubling down by targeting Ukrainian civilians trying to escape the conflict zone. The invasion has created the worst refugee crisis in Europe since World War II and has united the world in solidarity against Putin and in support of Ukraine.

But even amid world condemnation, Ukrainians in Colorado are still feeling helpless and isolated as they watch their country’s infrastructure being destroyed each day. They’re trying to follow the movements of their loved ones amid spotty cell service and bombing in different regions, and they’re keeping tabs on their friends’ and families’ safety from afar as the world tries to make sense of a yearslong conflict that came to a head

last month.

“I’m just in so much pain and feeling hopeless. That’s the worst pain I feel like there is,” said Tatiana Christofferson, who lives in Boulder. “I think of me helping, as speaking out for them,” she said of people still living in Ukraine, as she began to cry.

Ukrainians in Colorado said even amid the devastation, they find pockets of reprieve when they’re able to contact friends and family stuck in the war zone.

When family members support the invasion However, lately conversations between Christofferson and her father are brief.

Her father, who lives in Donetsk, part of the disputed Donbas region, supports Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Parts of Donbas are controlled by pro-Russian separatist groups, and there is often intense fighting in the region.

Christofferson, who was estranged from her father, met him five years ago after 25 years apart. She fears they might again lose contact over their opposing beliefs about Russia, she said. “Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but my dad does not let me speak of mine in front of him,” she said in a tearful interview.

Oleg Soloviov, a student studying political science and economics at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, said his grandparents, who live in Moldova, share a similar viewpoint and also side with Russia and support reuniting the former Soviet Union, which collapsed in 1991.

Oleg Soloviov, a student at Colorado State University, said his parents were in Moldova when Russia invaded Ukraine in late February. They consider themselves lucky that they were not able to

return home to Ukraine.

“I don’t think they actually see what Russia is doing,” he said. “The only thing they hear from is Russian news, and I believe that’s a big reason why they support it. It’s upsetting and I feel powerless because I can’t really do much.”

He’s considered returning to Ukraine since the war started to volunteer or even fight alongside fellow Ukrainians.

If his family finds themselves in danger, that would be the deciding factor. “I wouldn’t just sit here,” he said. “I would just go at that point.”

Taras Overchuk, who has family in Ukraine, spoke from Denver International Airport on Friday as he waited to board a flight to Poland. He planned to buy an old car there before driving to Lviv in western Ukraine. He decided to return to Ukraine because he couldn’t bear watching the war unfold while his family members bore the brunt of it and while his brother is fighting with the Ukrainian army.

Overchuk plans to spend a few weeks in Ukraine identifying areas most in need of foreign aid. He will soon report those findings back to the local group, Ukrainians of Colorado, which is offering a support group for Ukrainians in the state, while collecting medical supplies to send to Ukraine.

“The situation changes really regularly, so in order to be effective you need to understand every day, what is going on,” Overchuk said Friday.

It took 12 hours for him to cross the border between Ukraine and Poland this weekend, as he and thousands of others waited there in the snow. He has tried to persuade his family members to evacuate, but they will not leave Ukraine.

Refusing to leave “People are really patriotic there, and

when you leave and flee, you’ve worked so hard to prove to the rest of the world and to Russia that you can be a successful country with an economy and educated people,” said Lisa Savchenko Ripa, who lives in Highlands Ranch and has family across Ukraine and Russia.

“Fleeing is kind of giving up all of those things.”

Benito Mares is another Coloradan traveling to Ukraine this week to offer help through his nongovernmental organization Refugee Direct Aid, which he started in the 1990s during the Balkan wars. On Wednesday, he’s making the trek to Poland, where colleagues driving in from Kosovo will pick him up and then they all will travel to Lviv. The small group is taking $20,000 in cash and medical supplies, such as heavy-duty gauze bandages, that they’ll distribute when they reach Ukraine. They’ll focus on supporting single women whose husbands are fighting in the war and children, Mares said.

“This small amount of money and this small amount of material won’t last long,” he said. “It won’t be hard to find deserving targets.”

Vlada Petraglia was at a Ukrainian Catholic Church in Denver on Monday afternoon, offering advice to Mares before his trip and connecting him with Ukrainians on the ground who could use the organization’s help. People in the army are most in need of warm clothes, portable chargers and money, she said.

A few days ago, Petraglia’s parents had left their devastated city, Kharkiv, as Russia escalated attacks on residents there.

Petraglia’s family finally made their way to Ternopil, in western Ukraine.

The drive would normally take about 13 hours, but as many people evacuated alongside her family, it took about three SEE UKRAINIANS, P3

days before they reached safety. As they drove, Petraglia’s family feared bullets, or a bomb, would hit their car.

Until then, Petraglia’s family had been taking cover in a bomb shelter, only visiting their nearby apartment to feed their cat. The family won’t leave Ukraine. Petraglia’s father would likely be recruited to fight alongside the Ukrainian army if he tried to leave the country, but he is too ill to fight, Petraglia said. And Petraglia’s mother refuses to leave Ukraine without her husband, so the family is stuck in Ternopil. Petraglia feels a sense of relief — for now — that her family is relatively safe. “But who knows when Russia is going to reach there,” she said of Ternopil.

A bomb recently destroyed the preschool where Petraglia’s mother was working, so she has no job to return to after the war ends. Photos show that about 75% of the homes belonging to Petraglia’s loved ones in Kharkiv, the second largest city in Ukraine, have also been destroyed. There’s often no internet service or electricity there, even as temperatures dip below freezing at night, she said.

“My city doesn’t exist anymore,” Petraglia said. “They’ve bombed almost each civilian building. Every other building has a bomb in it. They’re doing everything for Kharkiv to disappear.”

What helps her feel less lonely is being able to help friends and family navigate their way out of their towns under siege, she said. Her loved ones trying to escape are not able to think clearly while in shock, so Petraglia is offering encouragement while providing literal directions.

When Petraglia makes contact with friends in Ukraine, they often ask when President Joe Biden and other world leaders will call on NATO to implement a “no-fly zone” over Ukraine, which would limit attacks from Russian warplanes. Western leaders have firmly rejected the request, fearing it would lead to conflict between U.S. and Russian fighter jets, which could create an even more catastrophic conflict, or World War III. “If the world does not get involved, Putin will take the countries surrounding Ukraine, because he’ll feel no one has enough power to stop him,” Petraglia said.

“If Ukraine loses, it will be dangerous to everybody,” she continued. “I’m not feeling safe in Colorado. I’m all the time telling my husband to look and see how far bunkers in Colorado are and where they are on the map because (Putin) is insane. And if you’re thinking that it’s a war between Ukraine and Russia, it’s not anymore.”

U.S. Rep. Jason Crow discussed the war with the Colorado Sun on Thursday.

The Centennial Democrat, who is a member of the House Armed Services and House Intelligence Committees, said many are calling on the U.S. to move from imposing sanctions to a more aggressive boots-on-the-ground approach.

But the threat of a nuclear conflict with Russia makes that unlikely.

Putin has dreamed about recreating the Soviet Union and its sphere of influence since its collapse in 1991, Crow said. Annexing Ukraine is the most important step to rebuilding that empire, Putin believes, and now he’s using force to absorb Ukraine, which he considers Russian, Crow said.

district and world/regional levels. The long-running contests started in 1928.

At the district level, Webster’s next stop, there will be scholarships of $2,500, $1,500 and $1,000 and the winner there will go to the World Championship Oratorical Contest, date and location to be announced.

Eligible contestants must be under 19 as of Oct. 1 of the current Optimist International contest year (Oct. 1 to Sept. 30) who have not yet completed secondary school or its equivalent, and interested contestants were told to prepare a four- to five-minute speech on the designated subject, with each club winner expected to move on to district contests, where scholarships are again awarded.

CEGEP students in Canada are also eligible.

Denver. It was around that time Miles started playing the trumpet. He went on to attend Denver’s East High School — where he played jazz with future movie star Don Cheadle — and studied music at the University of Denver.

According to the Colorado Music Hall of Fame, pianist Ron Jolly, who taught jazz improvisation at DU, encouraged Miles to pursue a full-time career in music. Jolly said Miles was “the most talented student” in his classes.

An educator himself, Miles relished the opportunity to work with the next generation of musicians, once saying “through teaching, I feel I just get to keep learning, which is really what I want to do every day [...] Each student is so different. I really want them to realize that in school — particularly in music — that it’s very important that they get outside of these walls, that they see if their art resonates in the community. It has to.”

Miles’ music certainly did. In 2017, he was inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame alongside his fellow East High graduate and frequent collaborator Bill Frisell.

“Recognized as one of the finest melodists of his era with a gift for improvisation, Miles has lent his distinctive style to the work of a diverse list of musicians, including composer Mercer Ellington, fellow Coloradan and saxophonist Fred Hess, saxophonist and arranger Redman, and legendary Cream drummer Ginger Baker,”

the Colorado Music Hall of Fame wrote after Miles’ induction.

Speaking at his induction ceremony, KUVO Jazz’s general manager Carlos Lando said Miles was the “kind of musician, after you get home, put your head on the pillow, you can still hear that crystal clear tone. So beautiful.”

Miles himself said his recognition from the hall of fame was mind-boggling. “Music has been something that allows me to, every day, have a sense of renewal,” Miles said at the time.

“And a sense of dedication and a sense of something to strive for.”

Miles released albums in five different decades, beginning with Distant for Safety in 1987. Writing about Miles’ final record, 2020’s Rainbow Sign, National Public Radio jazz critic Kevin Whitehead said the music was like “something heard in a dream.”

In 2020, Miles performed during the virtual Five Points Jazz Festival hosted by Rocky Mountain Public Media. You can watch his full performance below.

Thomas Burns, the president of Capri Records — for which Miles recorded two albums, Witness and Ron Miles Trio — told Rocky Mountain Public Media he was in a “state of shock” after learning of Miles’ death.

“Beyond the music and everything,” Burns said, “Ron was the kindest, sweetest human being I think I’ve ever known.”

Advocates want ‘magic’ mushroom therapy legalized Treating mental health is reason cited

BY DANA KNOWLES, JULIO SANDOVAL ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Substances relegated to the underground for the last 50 years are finding their way back to the surface for many people choosing alternative ways of treating mental illness.

“I think we’re seeing a psychedelic boom and a renaissance, some people would call it. When you look at the research that’s coming out of Hopkins, NYU, and UCLA, the results are pretty astounding,” said Dr. Jennifer Tippett, a licensed clinical psychologist and the director of the substance use disorder specialty at the graduate school of professional psychology at the University of Denver.

Tippett is referring to recent studies on various psychedelics, including psilocybin, a compound in “magic” mushrooms that have been found to relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression and addiction. She’s just one person in a growing group of therapists nationwide that wants to legally offer psilocybin therapy to their patients.

“Quite simply, because what we’re doing doesn’t work, you just have to look at the numbers, especially when you talk about substance use. If you look at the literature, the relapse rate or the rate at which people go back to using is really high, even after intensive treatment. And it’s just that what

Denver was the first U.S. city to decriminalize possession and use of psilocybin in May 2019. Some advocates, pursuing statewide initiatives, hope to see the decriminalization of “magic mushrooms” and other psychedelic compounds statewide.

we’re doing doesn’t work anymore,” Tippett said.

Tippett said not being able to use substances that have faired well in recent studies is frustrating: “It makes me sad, honestly, that a lot of the folks who could really benefit from these medicines aren’t able to access them.”

Some therapists, including Tippett, want to go a step further than Denver’s 2019 decriminalization of psilocybin and legalize it for therapy and medicinal use through ballot initiatives recently approved by the Colorado Secretary of State. They will need more than 120,000 signatures to get their initiative on the November ballot.

Psilocybin and other psychedelics have existed for thousands of years.

In 1971, the federal government made

them illegal by classifying them as schedule one drugs, meaning that they have no medical use and carry a high propensity for abuse, despite the fact that some Black, brown and Indigenous communities have utilized them for centuries for mental health support and community connection.

“They’re ancient medicines,” says Matthew Duffy, co-founder of the Society for Psychedelic Outreach, Reform and Education, or SPORE. “Prohibition has only been for 50 years, so we think that psychedelics’ presence in society is a new emergent thing but it’s actually folk medicine; mushrooms, ayahuasca, peyote, and not even just those substances that are more known, but the herbs and plants and fungi that are all around us and have supported us for the longest time.”

The Department of Regulatory Agencies, or DORA, would regulate therapeutic use in Colorado if “magic” mushrooms are legalized. But some advocates in the psychedelic community wonder if too much oversight

would work against the communities who’ve been using these substances for so long.

“Legalization basically means commodification. Healers who are largely Indigenous folks, there’s not a lot of excitement from them for this work to be coopted by the medical therapeutic industrial complex. The conversation in Colorado needs to be how communities can work with government officials and political actors to make sure the rights and power to actually use a healing structure in the community is actually vested in the community,” Duffy said.

Courtney Mathis, also from SPORE, says there needs to be a racial justice component added to this conversation that goes beyond legalization, therapeutic use and regulation of psychedelics.

High Line Canal Conservancy announces new COO Veteran public planner Tracy Young to manage 71-mile waterway

BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The High Line Canal Conservancy, a nonprofit working to protect and enhance the 71-mile waterway that runs through four metro counties, announced March 4 that it has named founding board member Tracy Young as its COO. Young has been with the conservancy since 2014, serving as its board secretary in 2020 and 2021. For the last 30 years, Young has worked as a landscaper and public planner for several urban areas and currently works as the planning, design and construction manager for Aurora Parks, Recreation and Open Space.

“I’m excited for a change, I’ve been in the public sector for over 30 years and I’ve absolutely loved every single minute of it,” Young said. “But this new position, working for the conservancy, is basically a dream job for me.”

Young said she has a long relationship with the High Line Canal, a 140-year-old human-made waterway that now serves as a popular recreation trail. She first began working on the canal with the City of Denver in 1990 and has since been involved in projects in Aurora.

“Tracy embodies everything anyone could ever ask for in a public servant and leader,” said Josh Tenneson, High Line Canal Conservancy board secretary, in a statement.

“She has always remained committed to making the community that she lives and works in a better place.”

As COO, Young will be tasked with

helping implement the vision of the recently-formed High Line Canal Collaborative, a partnership of local governments, agencies and nonprofits working to provide $130 million in spending on the canal over the next 15 years.

Of that, about 20% to 30% will come from private donors, according to Suzanna Fry Jones, senior director of programs and partnerships for the conservancy. This will include individual donors, regional and national foundations and some corporate groups. About 40% to 50% of the funding will come from local and regional governments, with some possible federal funding.

The money will go towards a host of canal improvements and projects with an emphasis on accessibility and environmental stewardship.

The collaborative is eyeing new bridges, underpasses and mile markers as well as removing dead trees in the forests surrounding the canal and planting thousands of more drought-tolerant trees by 2030.

These initiatives will build on cur-

rent projects already underway such as enhancements to stormwater mitigation to filter out pollutants, such as sediment, salt, phosphates and oil that may be collected by rain or snow when it touches the ground and drains into the canal.

Built with the “promise for a better future,” according to Young, the canal has historically served as an irrigation system for residences, governments and businesses. From the mouth of Waterton Canyon in southwest Douglas County, the waterway winds through Douglas, Arapahoe, Adams and Denver counties, making it one of the longest continuous urban trails in the U.S. But as climate change continues to make the state dryer, drought has been an ever-present problem for waterways like High Line.

“Water conservation is something that is on everyone’s mind in the West these days,” Young said. “We have been experiencing drought, more and more drought, and there are also pretty strong new development patterns happening in our region.”

With this, Denver Water, the canal’s owner, has signaled a need to wean current users off the waterway in favor of more sustainable irrigation services with a focus on transitioning High Line to a purely recreational canal.

Currently, there are about 35 entities in the metro area that still rely on the canal for irrigation, including schools, parks and residences, according to Tom Roode, chief operations and maintenance officer for Denver Water.

“We have this great resource … and the challenge for us is it’s no longer a good asset for us to deliver irrigation water, but we don’t want to just let it fail,” Roode said in a previous article.

Ultimately, Young said she sees her work, and the work of the collaborative, as a means of bringing more people together to enjoy the recreational space.

“I see the canal as the way to enhance the connection between people, people from different backgrounds, people from different communities,” Young said.

VOICES Redrawing council district boundaries

D

enver City Council is in the middle of redrawing the council district boundaries, which is a lengthy but important process to ensure that every voice counts.

Denver has changed a lot in the last decade and has seen a huge increase in population. Our council boundaries need to be altered to reflect these changes and how they are represented at the municipal level. This process is to ensure every vote counts, in accordance with the Voting Rights Act, by creating new district boundaries based on the current population. These new boundaries will remain in effect for 10 years, determining representa-

tion until 2035 — which includes three municipal election cycles.

The goal is to create 11 evenly populated districts that are geographically compact and as reasonable as possible to uphold the one-person-one vote standard in the U.S. Constitution. There is special consideration for “communities of interest,” or, any group that shares one or more substantial interest, such as religion, language, culture, etc. Maps have been drawn, to the greatest extent possible, to respect natural boundaries and keep communities of interest together.

GUEST COLUMN Jolon Clark

Over the past few months, members of the public were able to draft and submit maps, and city councilmembers then drafted maps based on that input and feedback. Community meetings were held throughout the city, and input directly from the public was incorporated. City council is now in the final phase of the process.

Here is the timeline: Public vetting of proposed maps: Feb. 1-23.

Redistricting Committee debates maps: Feb. 1 to March 14.

Redistricting Committee approves final map for filing: March 14.

First reading of ordinance at

Denver City Council: March 22.

Final reading and public hearing of ordinance at city council: March 29.

The adopted map will be effective for the April 2023 election.

Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback, attended a meeting and shared their community of interest. Public participation has been vital to ensure an equitable and fair process.

To learn more, get involved or view the maps, visit denvergov. org/redistricting.

Business planning for retirement

P

erhaps you have heard of the “great resignation” or other issues of workers leaving the workforce recently. Business owners planning for their own retirement are not exempt from the desire to perhaps join their ranks. In fact, sometimes business owners may feel stuck. Maybe they would like to resign or retire, but can’t due to responsibilities to customers and employees, leases, and vendors.

The latest figures from January showed that 4.5 million people voluntarily left their positions last November. Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, also known as JOLTS, reports that over 20% or nearly 33 million people left their positions since April 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic also drove millions of workers into early retirement. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, more than 3 million additional people retired. An article in Kiplinger’s at the height of the pandemic states “Covid-19 weary

business owners need a succession plan.”

Just as in financial planning when advisers coach their clients to plan for the inevitable, so too should business owners.

This is why the State of Colorado Patricia Kummer Office of Economic Development and International Trade, along with a host of other advisory groups and the Exit Planning Institute, launched a Business Owner Readiness Survey to help business owners determine how to exit from their business.

There are 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 every day and this generation owns 51% of privately held businesses in the United States. In recent surveys, 3 out of 4 business owners “profoundly regretted” their decision to sell within one year of exiting due to

lack of “readiness.”¹ Privately held businesses headquartered in Colorado could benefit from creating a succession plan. Here are some tips to help business owners plan for their future: • Create a contingency plan in case of illness or premature death.

• Form an advisory team with your attorney, CPA, and financial adviser.

• Consider adding industry experts, outside advisers and a family member to your board.

• Review the financials. Know your income, expenses, assets, and liabilities.

• Consider a business valuation study.

• Understand your business structure by who are owners and how you file your taxes.

What are your roots, business plan and future goals? These may help you identify a suitable transition.

Business has a better success

rate and smooth succession when you have time to plan, choose your advisers and develop your successors. No one likes an emergency exit. Planning ahead of time to be prepared will help in your day-to-day operations as well as give you a roadmap to guide you through the next steps.

Our state economy thrives when businesses thrive. There are resources to help you improve your readiness and advisers to help with financial reviews and valuations. Now is the time to prepare for your own future, even it is many years away. You don’t want to be caught off-guard with an emergency, and not be able to protect your legacy, family and employees.

It was revealed during the council process that Auditor Timothy O’Brien has consistently and repeatedly used thumb drives to take sensitive information off-site.

Nearly every data loss prevention policy forbids this exact activity because it makes that data vulnerable to loss or theft. This data can

be used by bad actors to penetrate critical systems and to steal the identity of city residents.

The auditor has been inappropriate and reckless with your data — and is actually suing Caity Council so that he can continue to be inappropriate and reckless with your data.

Council should reinstate subpoena power for the Office of the City Auditor, but should absolutely not enable Auditor O’Brien to continue to mishandle data and put taxpayers at risk of identity theft.

FINANCIAL STRATEGIES

Patricia Kummer has been a Certified Financial Planner professional and a fiduciary for over 35 years and is Managing Director for Mariner Wealth Advisors, an SEC Registered Investment Adviser.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Auditor risks data breaches On Monday, March 7, the Denver City Council repealed the law granting subpoena power to the Denver City Auditor. This was due to a disagreement over an amendment restricting the auditor from taking confidential, sensitive data off-site.

HIGHLIGHTING DENVER AUTHORS Christy Steadman | csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Jamey O’Donnell: “Hunting for the Lamb of God” Jamey O’Donnell started writing his first book in 1999.

But it got put on a shelf, and it wasn’t until the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns of 2020 that O’Donnell felt he had a book in him.

“Hunting for the Lamb of God” came out in July 2021. The book tells the story of two Centennial families, the Jenkinses and the Prices, who must navigate through a superelectromagnetic pulse that throws America back into the stone ages.

O’Donnell describes it as dystopian and apocalyptic fiction with two themes: the end as we know it and people’s struggle to survive, and one man’s quest to find God. “I’ve always been fascinated with what happens if something were to happen,” O’Donnell said. “A year’s supply sounds great on paper, but what happens if your friend or neighbor within walking distance is unprepared?”

All of a sudden, that year’s supply is cut in half, O’Donnell said.

An Amazon delivery driver by day and writer at night, O’Donnell is also a singer-songwriter who plays guitar.

He has written four books, with two of them published and available.

Along with “Hunting for the Lamb of God,” O’Donnell’s other book is “Meth War: Lost in Felony Flats,” which was published in October 2021.

This book takes place in 1993 in California’s San Bernardino Valley and recounts the effects of the methamphetamine industry.

O’Donnell, who resides in Denver’s University Hills neighborhood, came to Colorado in 1995.

“Hunting for the Lamb of God” is Colorado-centric, O’Donnell said, adding that readers will be able to picture certain details, such as the landscape and major streets, that are part of the story.

But if there is one thing O’Donnell hopes that people get from the book, it’s to be prepared, he said.

Yellowstone could blow, there could be the mother of all snowstorms or a cyber-attack, O’Donnell said.

“We would come back from that, but it would set us back,” O’Donnell said. “People need to think about

those things. People need to look beyond just what they need for today.”

Q&A with Jamey O’Donnell “Hunting for the Lamb of God” was awarded the Kirkus Star. Explain why this is such an accomplishment for you as a local writer.

Kirkus is the Cadillac of book reviews, and a good review from them is coveted by authors around the world. Less than 10% of their reviews receive the Kirkus Star, which puts your book’s review in their twice-monthly magazine distributed to libraries, film studios, publishers, literary agents, etc. It also puts you up for Book of the Year.

In what ways do you think people can relate to the families in “Hunting for the Lamb of God?” The Jenkins and Price families are everyday American families, struggling to raise their children in a world of increasing insanity, just like the rest of us. The thing I think people will relate to the most is their faith. In a variety of different levels, most families are God-centered, where parents try to instill in their children how to be good citizens and productive members of society.

What did you find most interesting about researching/studying what would go into prepping for a worldly disaster?

I am a prepper myself and have

spent many a night imagining scenarios where long-term supplies would be needed in case of a worstcase scenario. Part of that is learning how long water will remain good, or how long canned goods remain

WHERE TO GET THE BOOK Jamey O’Donnell’s book, “Hunting for the Lamb of God,” can be found online on Amazon and Barnes & Noble Booksellers and on the shelves of online and Denverarea Barnes & Noble stores.

safe to eat after their expiration date.

What about paper products or ways to cook food? To me, all of it is very interesting.

WHAT’S NEXT? Jamey O’Donnell has the sequel to “Hunting for the Lamb of God” written.

Called “Living for the Lamb of God,” O’Donnell expects it to be published later this year. He also has a book of short stories expected to come out later this year.

Champagne brunches and services return after COVID shutdowns

The crowd favorite Santa Fe Hot Chicken and Biscuits at Table Mountain Grill & COURTESY PHOTO Cantina

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

If you look at the actual definition of brunch online, Wikipedia has one of the best descriptions, calling it a meal that is generally served between 10:20 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and is “usually accompanied by some form of alcoholic beverage.”

The definition also covers the most important part, stressing that brunch is a blend of the words lunch and breakfast.

However, this special meal, traditionally celebrated on Sundays, is so much more than that.

When COVID-19 hit the world in 2020, one of the many valued traditions taken away was the Champagne brunch buffet hosted at hotels and restaurants throughout the Denver metro area.

As pandemic restrictions ease, brunch is returning at several locations. While buffet-style dining is still not completely back to normal, some of the area’s favorite Indian restaurants are among those bringing brunch back.

March 17, 2022

These meals are special. For those choosing the lunch side of brunch, the wall of seafood is a favorite. For breakfast, traditions bring diners the usual omelet station, eggs, bacon and sausage and the usual waffles and French toast.

In November, Hilton Denver Inverness in Englewood reopened brunch services at the Garden Terrace and Fireside Bar & Grill.

When it comes to the seafood, the Hilton spares no expense.

Crab legs, shucked oysters and shrimp are plentiful, but the standout dish is one of the smallest cups on display to the side, which is full of ceviche.

Unless someone is living in Peru, excellent ceviche is hard to find. But this Hilton brunch does it well with the right amount of shrimp, plenty of fresh, crunchy vegetables that add the precise amount of crunch to offer texture in every bite. And don’t forget the most ‘ important part of this delicious combination — the liquid. This soupy dish is perfect with the right amount of tomato and

‘We look forward to serving our guests again and providing them with an exceptional experience complete with myriad dishes featuring locally-sourced ingredients.’ plenty of spice coupled with the perfect amount of citrus and lime to provide that extra kick as each bite brings a variety of layered flavors.

On the lunch side, the Hilton Champagne brunch explores a vari ety of cultures from American staples to Asian. One small tasting dish had beef cooked with a taste of sweet potato noodles.

Since it’s an all-you-can-eat brunch, a second helping of this dish is worth it.

Staff at the Hilton, who have served Sunday brunch for decades, said diners have started filling the dining room more often since January.

“We are elated to have Fireside Bar & Grill back to full capacity as we also celebrate the return of Champagne Sunday Brunch, which is such an iconic Denver dining experience that many guests have grown to cherish,” said Ruth Kilzer, Hilton Inverness director of sales and marketing. “We look forward to serving our guests again and providing them with an exceptional experience complete with myriad dishes featuring locallysourced ingredients.”

options, Hilton diners are also treated to live music.

Abbey Odgen, a public information official for Hilton Denver Inverness, said Sunday brunch features more than 100 offerings, including domestic artisan cheeses, antipasto plates, shucked oysters, smoked fish and assorted sushi.

The Hilton Denver Inverness serves brunch from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sundays.

YaYa’s Euro Bristro in Greenwood Village offers brunch with dishes changing weekly with some of the regular favorites coming back. YaYa’s serves an excellent cut of prime rib with creamy horseradish sauce.

On the regular menu, YaYa’s serves made-to-order eggs benedict. Taking this approach to serving quality benedict is important because whenever this dish is served buffet style, the English muffin tends to get tough and can take away from the flavor.

As the brunch definition stresses, alcohol is a big part SEE BRUNCH, P11

The mimosas offer a good balance of orange juice and Champagne that leave anyone all smiles as they sit in the passenger seat on the way home.

Sundays.

At Table Mountain Grill & Cantina, located inside the Table Mountain Inn in Golden, diners might forget they are sitting at a restaurant in Jefferson County as the menu samplings and décor takes people on a trip to Santa Fe. One dish puts a different spin on biscuits and gravy. The Santa Fe Hot Chicken and Biscuits features crispy breaded chicken that has a kick of ghost chili on a jalapeño cheddar biscuit smothered in green chili.

“With vibrant Santa Fe decor and fresh ingredients, the renowned Southwestern restaurant encourages guests to explore rich flavors with a festive atmosphere,” said General Manager John Payne.

Payne said besides the hot chicken and biscuits, diners also enjoy the chorizo benedict, which includes chorizo patties, fresh-smashed guacamole and grilled asparagus.

Keeping with the theme of the restaurant, diners can get into the alcohol side of brunch by drinking a speciallymade Mesa Bloody Mary.

Table Mountain serves brunch from 7 a.m. and 2 p.m. Sundays.

cine keepers, in order to honor the way they’ve practiced medicine and have ceremonial use we need to consider how to integrate all of that into more mainstream use.”

She also wants to remind people that the psychedelic movement’s purpose is help people make more informed decisions about their own healing journeys, not to glamorize psilocybin.

“I think we need to always remind folks that we are not pushing this movement forward so more white kids can do more drugs at festivals,” says Mathis.

Melanie Rose Rodgers, co-proponent

for the 2022 ballot initiative to decriminalize entheogens and fungi, says her main worry in the rush to legalize psilocybin is that regulators won’t focus on health equity in order to ensure that people from Black, brown, Indigenous and LGBTQ+ communities have access as well.

“Who will have access? Will everyone have access? Will licensing leave some people out with so many regulations? And do I need regulations to tell me what my relationship with nature is?” Rodgers asked.

Whether laws are passed allowing people to legally access psilocybin

for therapy or not, Tippett cautions that despite promising studies, this substance isn’t a panacea cure all for every mental health issue.

“Don’t expect a compound to do all the work. It won’t,” she said. “It will probably just show you what you need to work on and then it’s up to you to do it.”

State, said he already had plans to become a diplomat or ambassador to Europe.

“Now with the war going on, I want to do it even more, because clearly, we didn’t work hard enough and fast enough to make Ukraine a part of the European Union and NATO,” he said. “And now people are having way more struggles and it could have been stopped.”

Doiun gets offended when Americans incorrectly call her country “the Ukraine” or when they pronounce

the silent “K” at the front of Kharkiv.

But one glimmer of hope during the conflict, she said, is that Americans are becoming more educated about Ukraine and the aggression it has faced from Russian leaders for years.

The war has challenged every aspect of the life of Victoria Katsuba, a Colorado State student whose family is from Rivne, Ukraine. But the war has made her more proud of being from Ukraine. She said she hopes xenophobia against Russians does not increase, because the war was waged by their leaders, not Russian civilians.

“It’s complex, and I think when people lose their humanity and just focus on one thing besides focusing on a lot of perspectives, it gets hard,” she said. “A lot of things can happen at the same time. Just being knowledgeable and doing your research and doing better for your community, I think, is going to be a step up.”

Get Away Going Away

eLivingtoday.com

Family vacations are a great way to bond and take a step back from the hectic schedules that accompany everyday life, but sometimes time or money (or both) make planning an elaborate trip a non-starter.

However, a staycation – a vacation you take right in your hometown (or nearby) – can be much less expensive and fit into nearly any amount of available time with the added bonus of skipping out on potentially stressful travel.

Consider these staycation ideas to take advantage of your local area’s attractions and prove you don’t have to go far to spend quality time together.

Visit local landmarks. Just because it’s not a traditional vacation doesn’t mean you can’t pretend to be tourists. Start by visiting the places you recommend to friends and family from out of town or pick up a city guidebook to uncover hidden spots you may

PHOTO COURTESY GETTY IMAGES

not even know exist. Make a plan to seek out historic sites, visit local landmarks like museums or try an out-of-the-way restaurant (or two) you’ve never eaten at before.

Camp out in the backyard.

Camping doesn’t have to be done far from home. In fact, it can be done right in your own back-

yard. Pitch a tent to sleep under the stars and plan a night full of traditional camping activities like roasting s’mores, telling spooky stories by flashlight and trying to identify stars and constellations.

Set up a picnic in the park. Pack a basket with sandwiches, fruit and other treats and head to the park. You can enjoy a casual meal

then take advantage of the open space for a family walk or game of tag before retreating to the playground to let the little ones expel any leftover energy.

Have a home spa day. If you’re looking for some relaxation but don’t want to splurge on the full spa treatment, plan an at-home oasis instead. Light some candles, run a bubble bath and break out the facial masks and fingernail polish.

Visit an amusement park. No matter where you live, there’s probably an amusement or water park within driving distance. A quick online search before you arrive can help prepare a strategy for hitting the most popular thrill rides and waterslides while skipping those that may not provide quite the same entertainment value.

Creating positive change through music-centered programs Denver Arts & Venues awards 49 recipients with grants

BY BRUCE GOLDBERG SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

One of Kelly Waltrip’s favorite memories is from when the Denver Young Artists Orchestra (DYAO) performed at New York City’s famed Carnegie Hall in June 2016.

“It was spectacular,” Waltrip said, executive director of DYAO, “and the best I have ever heard them play.”

What is DYAO? Waltrip calls the DYAO group a “conservatory orchestra.”

“We provide high-quality music educational experiences for children all over the Front Range,” she said, “about 250 kids ages 7 to 23.”

Waltrip said about one-third of the students go on to study music very seriously; about one-third study something else and music, and still get music scholarships; and one-third don’t choose to study music.

She added that 50% of the orchestra members go on to study in STEM fields and that some alumni can be found playing in the Colorado Symphony.

DYAO recently learned it was one of 49 recipients of a 2021-2022 Denver Music Advancement Fund grant, under the Denver Music Strategy via Denver Arts & Venues.

DYAO was awarded a $7,500 grant.

The timing couldn’t have been better, Waltrip said, because the orchestra was preparing for its Feb. 20 DYAO Spectacular performance at Boettcher Hall in a collaboration with the Japanese Arts Network.

The show included performers from two drummer groups and, in particular, a special performance that was based on the U.S. government placing Japanese-Americans in internment camps during World War II. “What we really appreciate about this grant program is that it allows organizations like DYAO to stretch and take some artist risks,” Waltrip said, “and encourages collaboration with

Shining in the Shadows Inc. also received a $10,000 grant. This organization provides resources, education and a digital platform for incarcerated musicians.

Urban Peak got a $10,000 grant to go toward teenagers in transition from homelessness. Its Urban Peak Music Studio provides a drop-in music studio for creation and recording.

Rocky Mountain Public Media will use its $10,000 grant for its radio station called The Drop. The group is looking to hold a block party at Levitt Pavilion that represents queer, trans, Black, indigenous and People of Color “to increase racial equity in the media industry and on the stage and airwaves.”

The Denver Music Achievement Fund grant program is a continuing partnership with TakeNote Colorado, a “statewide initiative offering equitable access to musical instruments and instruction to K-12 students in Colorado.”

“Music programming remains a necessary and integral part of Denver’s cultural ecosystem,” Gedgaudas said in a news release. “We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Take Note Colorado and align our efforts here in Denver. Through these grants, we can continue to support diverse and accessible music programs.”

groups you might not see together.”

The 2021-2022 Denver Music Advancement Fund grants totaled $457,000 — both figures are record highs — with many grants ranging between $5,000 and $10,000.

According to a news release, the funds were granted in a variety of categories which included music performances, networking opportunities for musicians, educational opportunities for children, community workshops, podcasts, videos, magazines and more.

Denver Arts & Venues launched this grant program in 2018 as part of the Denver Music Strategy. The idea is to honor diversity, helping youth, older adults, Black, Indigenous, Latinox/e, Asian-Americans, Pacific Islanders, People of Color or of the global majority, LGBTQIA+, people with disabilities and others.

The fund “supports initiatives that build a more equitable and connected city, drive economic vibrancy and create positive social change through music-centered programs,” states a news release.

The 18 people who select the grant recipients are music industry pros, said Lisa Gedgaudas, program manager for cultural affairs at Denver Arts & Venues.

A sampling of some of the grantees includes: The American Indian Academy of Denver was awarded a $10,000 grant.

This is a new charter school that will use the money to buy music equipment and to build an audio production program for its students.
